CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
BY JIMMY GREENE

nEACE on earth, good will to men,
The angel chorus sang,
Long years ago Bethlehem,
Their Christmas carols rang.
<
Once again it's Christmas time,
All the wide world through,
Telling men a story sweet,
That's ever old, yet new.
Christmas time when men forget,
Their quarrels, cares and strife,
And dwell upon the simple things,
That mean a better life.
p
Merry Christmas is the cry
We hear on every hand,
Echoing the angels song,
All over this great land.
In humble home, in marble halls,
In busy marts and street,
The joyful salutation rings,
Whenever men may meet.
Gone is race and creed and color,
Gone is anger, greed and woe,
AS with Him who in a manger,
Heard the angels years ago.
Merry Christmas how we love it,
How it brightens every sphere,
Happy world if Christmas spirit,
Stayed with us throughout the year

of the Pacific treaty to an interpre-

The fact has been emphasized that
the real objective Of the treaty is
to dispose of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance, which had to be removed
before the disarmament agreements
can be accepted.
In retrospect. the history OF this
extension of the four-power treaty
to Japan becomes quite unmistak-
able. The United States desired to
he rid of the Ang:o-Japanese alli-
ance. The British were prepared to
drop that alliance upon two condi-
tions: First. that something could
be found as a substitute which
would alike satisfy japanese re-
quirements and fall inside the four
corners of the traditional policy OF
the United States ir the matter of
foreign commitments; second, that
this substitute should satisfy Aus
