THE RESULTS BECOMING VISIBLE
While the conference for the limi
tation of armament lasted but thre
months, it was long enough for pub
lie attention to weary and for critics
to multiply, and even many friends o
the movement grow discouraged. Thi
was partly because the stupendoui
task OF the conference was concealed
and confused by details and the pub
Tic, soon tired of following the work
and willing to let those in charge
carry it through, lost interest, or elst
grew critical. Now, however, the com
pleted structure stands out, and the
American people, and the civilized
world, begin to see that a great work
has been accomplished, and that il
will, in ali probability, develope into
something even greater than the
leaders in the movement had dared to
hope for.
In so far as this and other nations
were concerned, large contributing
factor to the success of the confer
ence was the fact, as the president
stated in his address on the closing
day of the conference, that no nation
was asked at any time to surrender
any of it's sovereignty, impair it's ma
tionality, or do anything that would
humble it's national pride. No in
trigue was proposed, no offensive in
Movements were suggested. 1t was a
conference of equal sovereigns, dis
cussing means by which they would
mutually work to serve the common
cause of humankind.
In so far as the United States alone
is concerned, the conference was a
success because it was backed by the
people and because at every stage of
its progress and in every day of it's
duration the public was appraised of
the conference had done and
what it contemplated doing on the
morrow. In short, there was no Sc
crecy. AS a eorollary to this, the
president placed upon the official
American delegation two representa-
Of the United States senate, that
of the government coordinate
with him in the making and the con-
Of any binding foreign agree
nents. One of these selections repre-
,ented that political party which is
opposed to the administration.
Virtually all the history of the con
was given to the world from
to day, nor did that frank policy
nd with the adjournment of the con-
erence, for on it's final day it made
PROVISION for the publication of all
he records in connection with the
difference and the complete minutes
f each days session. This will be
iven to the world as soon as it is
lade up, so that the world may know
Thy decisions were made and why
ONE proposals failed; who was to
lame, to whom belongs the credit.

1t is becoming more easily notice.
BILE thai every time a politician,
smocrat or republican, says any
ling publicly regarding the coming
ampaign, he at once drops onto the
Of high taxes, and tries tc
We the impression that his party, ii
lowed to remain in power, or to steI
to power, will decrease taxes a t
ice. This is all more or less bunk }
rather blamed neal all bunk, an( [
ould have but little effect upon the '
lblic mind. In selecting candidates !,
her party should pick men of busi
IS judgment and integrity, who will Q
all in their power, if .%entrustet e
tn public office, to reduce taxes v
ore can be judged from the recore
the man than from the amount 0 +
nix he spills to the public. (
