THE FURY'S WINGS

ORGANIZED effort TO put a stop TO war
" or to limit in warfare the use Of implC-
ments and agencies devised to strike beyond
the traditional battle lines at the sources
from which armies and navies draw their
vitality has been directed at Versailles and
at Washington with view To the future
safety Of civilian and non combatant popu-
lations The drift OF military science and
theory has tended steadily for years to
involve dcfcnseless cities. dPfcnsNless ships
and even tho rank and file of the population
Of q belligerent country in expanding zones
Of destruction.
Z The Powers have recognized that there
can be no end to this sort of thing but the
ruin of civilization. Nations generally arc
instinctively aware of this. That is why tho
submarine was hated and why the Confer
ence for the Limitation of Armament was
supported by world opinion in its effort TO
limit the future uses Of undersca boats TO
the areas of actual fighting. Now, as we
predicted in these columns the ban of the
five Powers has been put upon poison gas.
( The significance and value of these tw o
Erulings cannot be overcstimated. We are
actually proceeding 20 a precise and PfeCtual
Limitation of the sort Of armament which
all civilization has had reasons TO fear.
There remain airplnnrs and airships. with
The announcement Of the cdict against poison
gas there came from the Washington Com
ference the admission that the Powers can
not yet see their way 10 any ordered limita
tion of the uses of airplancs in war or To
any system Of restriction which would elimi
nate aircraft from the list of things which
may be regarded as threatening to the non
combatant and undefended areas of countries
which may engage in future wars
This phase of the matter Of armament
limitations is certainly tho most difficult and
complex one. But it is very likely that
there will be no adjournment of the Con-
ference until it is attacked again. For IT
the view of military men airplaucs rcmalr
as devices intended to decide future wars

AUTO LICENSES

MORE than quarter of million motor
lFl cars are without their 1922 licenses,
according to the calculations Of the state
Highway department, and this. too, in spite
of the ruling under which licenses could be
applied for in the last weeks of last year.
Licenses have been issued thus far to
only $40 900 passenger cars. The highest
numbered license last year was somewhere
near 100000
There has been a greater demand on the
Highway Department in the last few days
than 1t could meet. II condition which is to
be expected under the system Of compelling
every application to be sent to Harrisburg.
Other States have branch bureaus in the
large cities where licenses can be obtained.
IF the system works there it ought TO be
possible 10 find way to make it work here.
IL would add to the convenience of every
owner of a motOrcar.

DENOUNCES THE BLOC

COVERNOR McKELNIE, OF Nebraska
VI has had tn" courage to risk the con-
demnation of the farmers by denounCtng the
agricultural bloc in Congress. He told the
Denver Civic and Commercial Association
that neither the agricultural bloc nor any
other class movement has any place in
America, and that it is difficult TO advance
the interests of any class without doing in E
jury to others.
This Is the kind of talk We like to hear
from the West. 1t is there that the mem
bcrs Of the farmers bloc live. If they dis
cover that there is opposition to their course
at home they will be more discreet in Wash
ingtOn. ii the members Of the bloc did not
think that they were making votes at home
by their course they would not be obstruct-
ing lcgislatinn In Order 20 get thelr own way.

PEACE IN ERIN

D DATIFICATION by the Dublin Parlia-
~ ment Of the treaty with England was
one of the great historic acts of the century.
The Irish people have not attained all that
their more passionate leaders sought. They
are not isolated as a completely independent
nation. But they have achieved u form Of
government which leaves their spirits un-
trammeled, their country's affairs in their
own hands and the genius of their race free
to make its own way to power and distinC-
tion among the peoples who are trying TO
hew ont roads TO n better wav of life for
the whole world.
The triumph belongs to the southern
Irish, no matter what the unrccOnciled lead
ers of the revolution may feel or say. De
Valera and his supporters thought more of
the spirit than of the substance Of the
agreement with England. They desired a
treaty that would not only grant the rights
Of self government n ireland They wanted

as we'll a treaty that would be in some ways
an expression Of their inherent distrust and
dislike of England. Their mood may be
understood. They were at the end Of a
bitter fight in which many of their parti-
sans had grievously suffered. But II Is
fortunate for ireland and the world that
they were ovcrruled by the conservatives.
The signing of the treaty will set at rest
n hundred irritating affairs In all parts Of
the world. And it will give Ireland freedom
after 700 years and n new start toward the
realization of n fine and ancient dream. it
may not be Il perfect treaty. But where
can you find perfection in the world of
today
