the presiding officer. the first outbreak
of hatred and distrust has been tided
over, and it has been established that
however much the delegates of Ger
tain countries may dislike one another
the mutually of their distress makes
it possible for them to work together
in the search for alleviat!on.
The objections of France having
been overcome, and the Russian ana
German delegates having been given
places as equals on the important
committees, the first serious obstacle
, has been surmounted, and the ground
work has been laid for practical ap-
proach to some of the most VeXatous
of the problems which Europe must
solve before there can be a return to
normal conditions and processes. Be
cause of the limitations of the aSenda
there cannot be a general cleaning up
of the entire situation. but each Tor
ward step will make the taking of
succeeding steps less difficult, and fu-
ture conferences may accomplish
what this one is debarred from under
taking.
The problems to be solved are pri-
marily European. and Europe is af-
fected by them most vitality. so it
would ill become Americans to play
the role of oarping critics as to the
methods of their solution. But 1t can
not be other than cause for regret
that the advance agenda has been
successfully invoked to prevent dis
cussion of the limitation of land arma-
ments. With the overture for such
discussion coming from Russia, which
has more than million men in arms.
it would seem from this distance that
a golden opportunity was presented to
get at the very heartsof Europe's diff
.ficulties. Lloyd George had no alterna-
tive, perhaps, but to uphold the
French objection, but that he did so
reluctantly was indicated by his state
ment that unless the Genoa confer
ence leads to disarmament it will be
failure"
1t is true. of course, as the British
prime minister pointed out, that con-
dition of durable peace must be estab-
lished before the nations can disarm,
but it is difficult to see how conditions
of a durable peace are to be assured
il the question of disarmament is to be
left to the uncertainties of a future
time. The agreement to limit arma-
ments reached in the Washington con-
ference was possible only because con-
litions of enduring peace were estab-
lished concurrently. 1t may be thought
that disarmament before peace would
be putting the cart before the horse,
but certainly the cart and horse
should move along together in their
natural order. Otherwise the cart, at
best, will make but little progress.

Walsh points out, whether we have

THREE BILLION TO

Federal Budget Submitted to
Congress Asks Lowest Yearly
Expenditure Since War.

Washington President Harding
sent a special message to congress
announcing that the federal budget for
the next fiscal year, beginning July l,
1923, will be approximately $4,000, ,O0O,-
00o-the lowest yearly expenditure of
the government since the days before
the war.
Praising the rigid economy which
the budget bureau has enforced dur.
ing the last year, the president point
ed out that the government is now
back to prewar days in general ex-
penditures.
OF the s3,000,00O,OO0 asked, two can
be attributed to the war; He made it
plain that his administration will con-
tinue to fight for greater economy. The
president indicated that because near.
ly two-thirds of the governments year.
ly bill represent the fixed charge re-.
sulting from the war, it will be diff
cult to reduce taxes in the near fu
ture.
A surplus of s1so,ses, ,125 in the gov.
ernment's financial operations for the
next fiscal year was estimated, as com.
pared with a probable deficit this year
of s273,93S,712.
