THE END OF THE CONFERENCE


Time alone will tell whether or
not the Washington conference will
be more fruitful of good results than
any of the many famous pre-
decessors.
The vast difference between this
and previous conferences Is that
they followed directly upon the heels
OF war; we're held while the hates
OF war we're still rampant; and
were held for the purpose Of inn
posing terms upon the vanquished
This conference was held away
from the scenes Of war; in times of
peace, and for the specific purpose
Of lessening the preparations for
future wars.
Then, too, this conference has fol-
lowed years of profound education
In the ways Of peace and the desire
for international amlty. II was
held, too. at n time when all OF the
nations were feeling the burden Of
armaments more than ever before
and having adapted to hitherto un-
heard of degree of open diplomacy
bids fair to receive more generous
public acceptance. That Is the test.
VIII the public Of the various coun-
tries accept the responsibilities OF
the treaties7 Has International
honor reached a point where such
high ideals can be maintained? Has
the evolution OF society reached a
point wherein the corporation OF the
nations can be counted on TO settle
their differences through discussion
rather than through armies and
navies7 II the world has reached
that point. then the Washington
conference and It's resultant treaties
Is a milestone in human progress,
II that stage in the evolution OF so
ciety is here, then the end Of wars
will not be far distant, but as yet II
IL too much 10 hope for the complete
regulation OF that ideal.

CLEANED FROM FOREIGN
EXCHANGES

The problem of retrenchment and iiy-
ing within ones income faces every ex-
belligerent European country in an acute
form. In Great Britain, where we do at
all events balance our budget, it is a
question of easing the crushing burden Of
taxation. On the continent, where few
of the postwar governments have had
the strength or courage to tax adequate
ly, it is question OF stopping the flood
of paper money. In all alike it is aues-
ton of restoring to productive industry
and trade a greater proportion of the
wealth remaining available. Only when
SO restored can it breed new wealth and
provide the wherewithal for a general re-
vival Of prosperity and employment.

TIE MEN IN OUR NAVY.

The figures of the federal bureau of
navigation concerning the navy show
that there has been a high standard of
health maintained. This is the outcome
both Of the requirements when enlisting
in te navy and of the care that the men
received in that branch of the govern
ments service. 1t Is to be realized that
young men who cannot meet the require
ments are not desired in the navy. That
which goes to insuring good health in
SO far as a physical examination will
disclose is insisted upon. Again the fact
that two-thirds of the men of :he navy
are 81 years Of age or under while only
904 are over As indicates that the men
of the navy are those who can be ex-
pccted TO be physically fit.
II IS interesting TO note in connection
with these statistics that at the time
tho report was made there were 1882 pei
cent Of the members who were native
born, 2.99 who have been naturaHzed
4.89 per cent colonial natives and three.
tenths Of one per cent, or 352. are aliens
When it is shown that good conduc
medals are numerous and that deser.
lions and dishonorable discharges art
| comparatively few. it emphasizes the
fact shat the navy is not the dumping
| place for trouble makers as some ar
| too often inclined to make 1t. Unfortu
nately there are some who think tina
| the navy is or should he a federal re
| formatory. and that enlistment thereiI
/ should be an alternative to a jail tern
| or some other punishment. The polio
has aId should be to discourage an
such idea and the report would indieat
that fine discrimination was being ex
| ercised.

CONTROLLING sERIoUs DANGERS.

CONTROLLING SERIOUS DANGERS.
Little attention is paid to many se-
rious dangers until something happens
and then great furore results and in
sistent demands ara nlads for action
that viii prevent similar conditions in
the future. All of which is well enough
except that such instances are invaria-
bly, repetitions Of similar affairs which
have occurred before, though they prob
ably didn't occur near enough at home
to get deserved preventive action.
Just at the present time West Phil
adelphia is much concerned over the In
juries and property damage that has re-
suited from a blasting explosion in which
It appears the contractor had gone ahead
with his work without securing the nee
essary permit and had used explosives
that were not covered by the license ap-
plication which he had fled. The situa-
ton indicates that the one who was
responsible for the trouble vas follow
ing a practice which had come to be
more or less established through lack
Of enforcement of regulations.
It IS a situation which seems not TO
have been so much different than that
which was disclosed in New York fol-
lowing the Wall street explosion when
it was found that little attention was
was paid to the getting Of permits or
the handling of explosives. 1t is one of
those situations which shows that reg
ulations amount to nothing unless they
are respected, or unless those which they
are intended to reac, are given to UNI
derstand that they must live up to the
requirements Taking things for
granted has led West Philadelphia to
demand a thorough investigation, the
| fixing Of the responsibility and the hold
ing Of the negligent and responsible one
| or ones to strict accountability.
l. Having regulations for restricting thu
sale and use Of high explosives amounts
