Many columns are being written
now in an effort to explain what
brought abought the present 6nan-
cial and industrial condition, when
it can all be stated in a few words
the weakness of humanity. The
foresight of man is inferior to his
hind Winston County Jour
nal.
And added to this is theIdeflation
brought about by the manipulations
of the Federal Reserve Board
Bonneville Advocate.
And the indiscriminate voting of
bond issues by the people them
selves for internal improvements
they could have deferred to other
times when they would be better
able to pay them. These bond is-
sues were voted because of the un-
precedented prosperity of the times,
the people little thinking a reaction
would come that would make them
onerous and difficult to liquidate.

When it was called, war loomed just
around the corner. America and
Japan stood growing at each other,
their Pacific and Far Eastern policies
clashing at every turn. China was
and still is-bordering on collapse, a
menace to herself and the world.
A reckless race for naval supremacy

2. Strapped the Anglo-Japanese

ing in itself, for it cannot be denied
that upon the English-speaking peo-
pies of the earth depends, in large
measure, the peace of the world. And
again: Thru the conference America
has regained considerable of the
ground lost as leader among the ma
tons, ground sacrificed when partisan
senators made party politics of inter-
national issues--the covenant of the
league of nations and the treaty of
Versailles.
Lastly-and perhaps the greatest of
all its achievement - the conference
uncovered way for the great powers
to settle their differences without
making cannon-fodder of the flower
Of their young.
The failures of the conference were
many. Land armament remains about
where it was; Far Eastern questions
were begged, etc., etc. But the sins
were mostly of omission rather than
commission, SO let them pass.
The conferences accomplishments
have now been crystallized into the
form of treaties. There remains rati-
fication. 1t is up to the senate.
Ratification will clinch the sue
cesses, leaving the way open to future
conferences and the righting of this
conferences failures. Refusal to rat
ify would not only lose for us whatever
good the conference brought us, but
the nations which have elaborated
with us, at our invitation, would accept
the gesture as direct slap in the face.
And once more we would be headed
straight for war, this time with the
active hatred of the civilized world
weighing us down.
