Britain would be at no disadvantage as com pared with either America or Japan.
 "'The suggested reservation amounts to d proposal that we deliberately keep alive not only the vested interests of war, but the whole spirit and tradition of international naval com petition as d sacred flame, ready to burst into full blaze the moment the holiday is ovcr We are convinced that, if the real issue is graspcd, public opinion in Great Britain will never constcnt to pressing this reservation, which so patently knocks the bottom out of Secretary Hughes plan"
 The London Daily News says regarding the suggestion that replacement be permitted con tnuouslv on fixed scale: '''Hhis seems a very dangerous breach in the whole conception of a naval holiday which might we'll prove fatal to the American proposals. Surely, one of the prime objects of the holiday is to bring in question at the end of it the wisdom or nccrs- sity of any rcpIaccmcnts. It would not br surprising were America to regard any such amendment as defeating the whole object with which her prnccly offer to destroy her present enormous advantage in new ShipbuIdju@ is made"
 It k quite evident, from the news thr n.lo- graph wires and thc cables have been carry-
 
 tho opening session of th" conference. rnat th" reaction of public opinion to th. Am"r"n plan. abroad as well as ot home, k entirely favorable.
 Mr. Hughes has plainly said to th" ror..yu delegates to this conference: "IIorc k what we propose as means of haItng the race for naval amamonts, stopping the loot of our countrymcn by bankrupting taxes, putting navics on d defense basis only, lcsscnin9 th" probabilities of war as a means of settling differences. As usual, the United States deals more Iibcrally with you than with herself. Can you accept this plan? If no, why not2"
 And the diplomacy of Great Britain, Japan France and Italy will have no easy time of it explaining "why not" either here or at home.
 The conference called by President Harding for the purpose of limiting armaments has, thanks to the open and business-Iikc processes of a revived American diplomacy, made not able beginning, to be sure.

There Is a divinity In human hearts
to which heroic unselfishness makes
powerful appeal. Why not try the ex-
pertinent Of appealing to the nobler
side of human nature? The motive
of profit has tragically. failed. Why
not appeal to the motive of service7

OF the world? Better Instruments 2
Yes, undoubtedly. For the removal Of
disease, better scientific instruments
are needed For the removal of GER
tain domestic difficulties, better hous-
ing accommodations are needed. For
the removal of Industrial friction, a
better economic system Is needed. For
the removal Of international strife, a
new world organization Is needed. A
world that has been organized for war
must be organized for peace. For the
rebuilding of the world better instru-
ments are needed. But what is su-
premely needed Is a better spirit! If
only you and l and all our neighbors
would persistently cultivate the Christ
mas spirit, our children's children
would live In far better world. For
then 1t would be only a question of
time until we should discover the in
struments needed for the fashioning
OF fairer civilization, and we would
be willing to use these instruments as
soon as they could be developed.
What pity, then. If Christmas this
year should come and 90 and leave
none of US permanently different.

We need to perpetuate the Christ
mas spirit in our homes.
1t is solemn moment when two
human lives are united for better, for
worse, for richer. for poorer, In sick.
ness and In health, till death do them
part. AS Jane Welch Carlyle once
said, "If ever one Is to pray, If ever
one is to feel grave, If ever one is to
shrink from vain show and babble, 1t
is just on the occasion when two hui
man beings bind themselves together
till death do them part"
There is nothing that more nearly
resembles the heaven of our dreams
than does happy home. Is there any,
thing that so surely suggests the hell
Of our secret dread as does an un-
happy home?
What is needed to build home?
Money Is needed, but how much more
than money! Money can build
house-a wonderful and wonderfully
furnished house Only love can build

For generations, now, the motive of
