No one in political position in the adminis-

Poland has to pay every year for
her army.
But Belgium, which has a toler-
ably good currency and tends to
improve it steadily, has now or
binary and extraordinary expenses
equal to those sustained by the
principal military states before
the war. In the budget for 1921
1922, recently approved by parlia-
ment, the ordinary military expenses
were calculated at $4,000. 900
francs and the extraordinary at
353,000.000, making q total Of 912,-
100000, to which must be added
368,600,000 francs Of recoverable
expenses for the maintenance Of
the corps of occupation. And to
think that the same budget in pre-
war times did not exceed 7s,ooo.-
900 francs! -
The conclusion that we are
forced to draw, examining the sit
uation which has developed, is sad
indeed. Europe, dominated by
the spirit of violence, watches her
own decline and probably pre-
pares for fresh conflicts.
Almost three years after the end
of the war the system Of treaties
has brought about the following
situation:
1. The victors. having disarmed
the vanquished, have imposed upon
them absurd economic and moral
conditions and iniquitous terrific
rial humiliations, as those affiicted
on Bulgaria, on Hungary and on
Turkey. and which it would be
very difficult to justify. While
Germany. Austria. Hungary and
Bulgaria have only 10000. men
under arms. Belgium alone has an
army of $4,000 men and Jugoslavia
of 10000 men. Poland has about
five times as many soldiers as Ger
many.
2. Feeling themselves on the
brink of ruin. the victors have de-
veloped a tendency to load the
vanquished with their liabilities.
demanding indemnities which can
not possibly be paid. Turkey. Bull
garia, Hungary and Austria are in
a real state Of bankruptcy and in
such misery as to be in urgent
need of relief. All demands, there
fore, center around Germany. Be-
sides paying an indemnity which
is not only intolerable, but illogf-
cal, Germany is forced to support
an enormous enemy army of oc-
cupation, which costs almost dou-
BILE as much as any army before
the war and which has now the
sole object Of disgregating the in
ternal life Of the vanquished ma
tion and of preventing Germany's
resurrection. Nevertheless, all the
victorious states, which, with the
exception Of Great Britain, are
more or less badly shaken in their
finances and threatened with eco
nomio ruin. attempt to bolster up
their credit. especially In America.
with the alleged guarantee Of the
German indemnity. America is
wise in not attributing the slight
est value, to this guarantee.

exhausted her capacity for indebted

would mean giving France the mono-
poly Of coal and iron in continental
Europe. What is worse, it would
mean the disgregation of the whole
economic life of Europe and the
creation Of a situation which could
not long be maintained.
1850. X \ y X
What is especially sad is to find
that in three years time Europe has
made no real progress. In fact, it
may be said after nearly three years
since the conclusion of the war the
situation. taken as whole, instead
of improving has become consider
ably worse. The spirit Of violence
has passed from the vanquishcd to
the victors. and in proportion as Wo-
lence augments SO does our anxiety
for the future increase. The ven
geance of the enemy consists in drag
ging the victors to ruin.
The war has been won chiefly by
hunger, the terrible ally which the
entente succeeded in enlisting on
their side. This ally is always pre-
ceded by armed men and by trumpets
Of war. and is followed by revolu-
tions. After having called him in
Europe is still unable to evict him.
And now the monster is threatening
everybody, more or less. What will
be the result of SO many mistakes of
the entente?
Very probably the European ma
tions who will be saved will be pre-
cisely those on whom the spirit Of
democracy and peace will first
descend.
The crisis of conscience is becoming
every day more clearly outlined;
many people are beginning to think
that democracy and justice are not
words void CT sense, only to be in
voked during the war. Doubt has
made its appearance, ard truth IS
born at the foot Of doubt. Dante's
metaphor has never been more true,
than at the present moment
Many statements by Mr.. Lloyd
George in the British parliament de-
serve serious attention. The long ex-
change of views which I have had
with him formerly and now his out
spoken declarations have convinced
me that, of all: the statesmen who
drew up the treaty of Versailles. he
was the most farsighted. In some
cases he was the only one who ac-
tually foresaw the dangers lurking
in the future.
These dangers have now become
evident even to those whose minds
had been darkened by rhetoric and
whom violence had brought down to
the level Of brutes.

President Harding Shows Himself
In the Practical Optimist Glass

based upon the best intent, it was feared might
be the reverse of what was contemplated
Bluntly stated, the possibility was recognized
of the movement convincing the delegates from
abroad to the conference that the sentiment OF
the people of the United States is so overwhelm-
ing for a large measure Of disarmament that
the people will force disarmament here regard
less of an international agreement and other
nations. therefore, need not agree to limit their
armaments.
The administration was concerned over the
announcement that the so-called National
Council Limitation of Armaments' fntended
to establish at Washington a committee which
should be at once watch-tower of observation
and details of the conference and an alarm
tocsin to peal forth every indication of failure
of the conference to secure material dlsarma-
ment rather than Limitation.
The National Council on Limitation Of Arma-
ments is made up of representatives from the
National Grange the American Farm Bureau
Federation the Friends Disarmament Commit
tee the World Sunday School Association. the
Womens International League for Peace and
Freedom the National Educational Association,
the Women's Committee for Disarmament and
the General Federation of Womens Clubs.
The administration has already given plain
notification to the people that the officials of
this government do not expect the conference
to do more than secure an agreement among
the participating powers to reduce armaments,
and that the measure of that reduction must
be expected to be limited There can be no
doubt that many millions of Americans. calmly
viewing the practical aspects of the outlook,
feel that more should be expected. Other
Americans are doubtless convinced that the af
fairs of the world are in such chaotic condition
that this country should. and others WILL keep
their powder dry for some time to come
The administration feels that it would be
disastrous should the impression get abroad
through the activity of these volunteer workers
for world disarmament that the United States
accepts the millennium having arrived and
is willing wholly to throw its defenses to the
soft zephyrs of international peace

The delegates to the conference will be old

words and acts of the American delegates to
the conference, from organizations repre-
sented in the proposed supercouncil of OBJ

4 CCORDING to the treaty Of
~ Versailles, Germany, which
~ no longer possesses navy
and has only a minimum of
artillery limited to her internal de-
fense, is not allowed to maintain
under arms more than 100,0 900 men.
Besides her feet, Germany's peace
footing in 1913. as revealed by the
budget submitted to the reichstag,
consisted Of $4,000 men of all
arms, $4,000 non-commissioned Of
flcers and 10000 officers. Germany
is, therefore, condemned to go
without an army; she is>punished
where she most sinned. She must
only work to fulfill the objects Of
the treaty; stand the expense Of a
large army of occupation and pay
an enormous number Of indemni-
ties, which exceed her economic
powers and which therefore can
not and never will be paid
France, which has emerged from
the war with the biggest public
debt and in Topographic situa-
tion which must be regarded as the
least favorable of all, has now un-
der arms the largest army in the
world. Great Britain alone cut
down her army promptly and rad
ically. France and the two coun-

anti-German policy. namely, Bel
gium and, above all, Poland, have
enormous armies both as regards
numbers and expense.
In 1914. the French army consist
ed of 28,519 officers and 762,450
men, besides $4,000 colonial and ma
tive troops. While Germany no
longer possesses an army. France
has increased hers. On. the 1st of
July last she had $4,000 men with
the colors. including 3s.47s officers.
namely, much more than Germany
had before the war. Given her
QemOBTapn1C structure ana ner
financial situation, this is the
greatest military effort of modern
times. which can only have one
of these two results: Either eco
nomic and military supremacy or
utter ruin.
But the two allies Of France, Bel
gium and Poland-Belgium no
longer neutral. Poland always in
disorder and in an attitude Of con-
tinual provocation-likew main
tain armies which in pre-war'
times would have been the armies
of great powers. Belgium has dou-
bled it's peace electives, which are
now of 113,500 men-an enormous
army for a population which is nu-
merically about that of New York
city or Of larger London:
Poland, whose economic condi-
tions are simply disastrous, having
no money and no credit. still MAIN
tains an army of about 100000

abroad and growing misery at
home.
While Germany has only 100000
men under arms and no artillery, the
French group Of national defense,
despite it's political resources and
the guarantees Of the treaty of
Versailles. finds it necessary to
maintain an army Of almost 1,40O.-
900 men.
If this is the situation of the
principal military countries, that
of the smaller nations and of those
that have sprung up from the war
is not less serious.
The vanquished no longer pos
sess armies, but, strangely enough,
the armies Of the victors and of
the states born Of victory are con-
stantly on the increase.
Austria, reduced to intolerable
misery, could maintain an army Of
10000 men. AS a matter of fact she
has only 21,700, and can hardly
manage to pay them. Hungary has
deprecated that they cost her al
most six billion crowns.
Bulgaria has 23,092 men.
On the other hand, we have Ru-
mania with an army of 2O6,00O
men, Jugoslavia with 10000.
Czechoslovakia with 10000, and
Greece with over 100000 men un-
der arms.
Last year, in the economic mani
festo of London, the British pre-
mier, Lloyd George; Millerand.
then president Of the French coun-
Gil of ministers, and I. called the
attention of Europe to the Isitua-
tion which had developed, and
which constituted a danger. But
the manifesto fell on soil of
violence and gave no fruits.
No country appears to be exempt
from the spirit of violence and
from the desire to dispose Law
ishly of the fruits of victory.
y Great Britain alone, while in
creasing her naval expenses, has
reduced her army Gncluding Off
cers) to 201,127 men-namely,
much less than before the war.
Italy has still a standing army
of $4,000 men. slightly more than
in pre-war times.
The population of Italy is small
er than that of France, which
maintains an army more than
twice as big.

we should have had real peace,
