Mr.. Harding's plenipotentiaries dur
ing the last three months have sur
rendered more American sovereignty
than was surrendered during the en-.
tire 1873 years of previous history
under the Constitution, and they de-
serve the warmest concentrations for
doing it. There can be no interna-
tional cooperation for the establish.
ment and maintenance of world peace
and for meeting the pressing econo-
mic questions of the world without
almost continuous surrender of SOW
ereignty and impairment OF nationality,
in the strict sense of those terms.
Mr.. Harding probably knows it too.
and his reference to sovereignty and
nationality was intended perhaps as
a sop to the irreconcilables of the
Senate who made their fight against
the covenant of the League of Nations
on the ground that it was surrender
of sovereignty. The President needs
their support for the treaties that the
conference has framed, and so he be-
gins by telling them that there are
no such ''involvementsD as those at
Versailles. There sovereignty was sur
rendered and nationality impaired. but
when sovereignty is surrendered and
nationality is impaired in Washington,
that is only 'translating the conscience
OF our civilization" Having been an
frreconcilable Senator himself, Mr..
Harding understands his audience.
Fortunately, however, the Presi-
dents words are only fairy story
for the warriors of the Battalion of
Death. The conference has succeed
ed, and succeeded nightly, because il
did not hesitate to scrap sovereignty
along with dreadnoughts and restrict
nationality along with fortifications-

THE SoUTH'S GREAT GROWTH IN
FORTY YEARS

The vast forward strides taken by
the South in the last forty years are
shown in comparative figures issued
by the Manufacturers Record. The
South, incidentally, in this report COM
prises an area one-third the extent of
the United States and containing one
third the population of the country.
In 1880, the figures show. the popu-
lation of the United States was 50,-
100000. In 1920 the South had &c.
100000 people.
The amount of capital invested in
manufacturers in the United States in
1880 was s2,790.O0O,0O0; the South in
1920 had similar investments amount
ing to s6.SS5, 100000.
In 1920 the value of farm crops pro.
duced in the South was Sc, 450. OOO. 900.
while forty years before the entire
country's output in this line amounted
to only 1929, 900, 900.
The number of active cotton spin.
dies in the South alone in 1920 was
half again has great as the number in
the United States in 1880. There
were then in the country 10000. 900
such machines and In the South in
1920 there were 15,653,0O0.
In the United States in 1880 there
were $4,000, 100000 feet of lumber cut
and in the South in 1920 the footage
was 16.SO0.Oo0. 900.
Mineral products in the South in
1920 were valued at s2,2S5 900 900. The
value OF like products in the country
forty years before was $685., 900 900.
In 1920 the South produced 254 900.
900 barrels of petroleum, while in 1880
the entire national output was ONLY
26,000.0O0 barrels.
There are nearly as many miles Of
railroad in the South now as there
were in the entire country forty wears
ago. The trackage in the South in
1920 was $1,000 miles. while forty
years before the United States had
$4,000 miles.
Banks of the South last year showed
deposits of s6.i1s.OO0. 900. The United
States had deposits OF $3.50. 600 900 IN

A FAIRY STORY FOR SENATORS

President Harding has a right to
think we'll of the Conference for the
Limitation of Armament and to bring
up all the reserves of his official
vocabulary in order to express his
qualification. When, however, the
President insists that the work of the
conference has been accomplished
without surrender" it might seem
that Mr.. Harding had failed to compre-
bend the nature of the agreements
that have been signed in his name.
The surrender of sovereignty and
the impairment Of nationality are the
outstanding achievements of the con-
ference. That is what it was all about,
and everything else was casual and in
cidental.
When the United States, for exam
pie, entered the conference it had full
sovereignty in respect to all the agen-
cies of national defense. 1t could build
as many dreadnoughts as it pleased
1t could fortify it's insular possessions
in the Pacific as much as it liked. 1t
had a free hand in respect to sub
marines and the development of poison
gas. In other words, it had complete
sovereignty and complete nationality
in relation to all the agencies of mill
tary preparedness
The United States energies from
the conference stripped of these at
tributes of sovereignty. 1t must scrap
so many hundred thousand tons of
capital ships, and these ships are
named. In the matter of replacement
it must follow definite programme.
1t can build no new Notifications on
its islands in the Pacific. but must
maintain the status quote. 1t pledges
itself furthermore to respect the in
tegrity of the insular possessions of
Japan and Great Britain in the Pacific
and to confer on the measures that
must be taken to defend them should
they be menaced. It promises that in
the event OF war the limited number

national banks in 1880.

The true value of property in the
South alone in 1920 amounted to more
than $4,000, 100000 or nearly twice
the value of that in the entire country
in 1880, which was $4,000, 100000
These figures show the growth and
development of the southern section
more clearly than any other medium
The growth of the United States in
forty years was phenomenal, the popu-
lation virtually doubled, but the South,
more than keeping pace with this adj
vance, added to its own and the ma
tion's wealth at a rate in greater pro-
portion than any other part of the
country.
