"Now" Means "Now"
(New York Times)


\ week ago Judge Gary, speak
ing for the Iron and Steel Institute
said that the elimination of the
twelvehour day from that industry
"a reform which President Harding
earnestly desired and to the urging
of which he gave some of the last
thoughts and efforts of his life
would nov" begin. Yesterday it
was announced that some of the
largest plants of the United States
Steel Corporation would go upon an
cight-hour basis on Monday next
and that at all its works the same
reform would be effected as soon as
the needed additional workmen could
be obtained. 1t was confidently
forecast that by the end of the pres
cnt year the entire iron and steel
industry of the nation would be on
that basis.
Thus now" means "now." The
good faith of the directors of the
Iron and Steel Institute is vindi-
Gated. 1t is again demonstrated
that there is always some practi
cable way of meeting any of the
great demands of human welfare
This great reform is now being cf-
fected at a much earlier date than
was only a little while ago thought
possible. We venture to think that
its results will involve less curtail-
ment of production and less increase
of cost than some have thought in
cvitable. The Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company reports that since it's
adoption of the eight-hour and
e-shift schedule the output has
increased and the cost has de-
creased. We shall not be surprised
to hear like report from the plants
of the United States corporation.
The announcement concerning
next Mondays beginning of the
new rule was not published until
after President Harding's death, but
we must hope that it had been i'm
parted to him in advance. We
should be unwilling to believe that
ne passed away without full assur-
ance of the immediate realization of
the great reform upon which his
heart was so greatly set.

Editorial Comment
Geo-cia and the Lash
IVA shin crton pnctl


The constitutional amendment
committee OF the Georgia legis-
lature's lower house has killed a bill
that would restore the lash in con-
Wet camps. The lash is so foreign
to American ideals, is so violative
of prevailing concepts of the States
obligations to those whom it con-
trolls, that it is impossible to follow
the reasoning by which its advocates
seek to justify that instrument of
cruelty. Legal authority that deals
cruelty with those under control
tends to defeat one of the prime OBJ
jccts of imprisonment. which is re-
form of the prisoner. Cruel treat
ment often hardens and embitters
the victim and turns him out worse
criminal. Realization of this, to-
gether with realization of the re-
voting barbarism of the lash. is be-
hind the nation wide Indignation
that has been reused by recent dis
closures from prison camps. In re-
jccting the bill that would have re-
stored the lash the Georgia leeisla-
tive committee acted in accord with
the obvious demands of American
public opinion and of civilization.

Germany Finds Defeat unpleasant"
(Puhlic Ledger

1t would be difficult to determine the
degree of unmportance that should be
attached today to an official utterancc
of the German Government. The van
ishing point in real significance has
been reached.
The only possible effect that Chan
cellor Cuno's blubbering in the Reich
stag might have had has already been
negatived. 1t might have convinced
that element in England which has
favored making things easy for Ger
many that their efforts were futile and
thankless But the tide had already
turned in England before Herr Cuno
had expressed his lack of appreciation.
Cuno displayed in his statement that
curiously twisted mental viewpoint
that the world has come to recognize
as Enthusiastically Teutonic. lie
told his hearers that the British note
was unpleasant" to Germany. What
a shame Germany had to be subjected
to the unpleasantness of losing the
war! He said that England. in an eff
fort to maintain good relations with
her comrade-in-arms. meaning France.
had gone extraordinarily far in her
concessions to the French viewpoint.
Why. he asked his fellow Germans,
didn't England supply a convenient
bed of roses for her former enemy-in-
arms? And all his hearers wiped tho
tears from their expression Of injured
innocence.
"Unplea sant?" Germany doesn't
know the half of it. Pleasantly sur
rounded by their fields. unsecured by
war, amid their great industries
financed by a system of indemnity
evasion and bankrupted currency, the
Germans believe that they may yet be
able to befuddle the Allies and escape
the just penalties of their crime
against civilization.
Germany has not a friend in the
world. The Germans scarcely believe
Cuno when he tells them. so bankrupt
are their mental and spiritual pro-
cesses. Germany has her back to the
wall and must fight to the finish-so
Cuno tells them. But the Germans do
not fancy such talk; they have never
in all their history had any use for

SENATOR REED REGARDS
GOOD WILL DELEGATION AS
FORCE FOR WORLD HARMONY
Especial to Kennebec Journal)

NSDeCldl 10 henTeDeC JOurnal)
Paris, Aug. Ill believe that the
American committee for devastated
France, through its Good Will delega-
lions. is the greatest force operating
in the world today toward international
understanding" said United States
Senator David A. Reed of PENNSYLVANIA,
who is touring Europe. "Misunder-
standing and distrust always stop with
understanding. and the Good Will dele
cations are achieving this. The effect
OF the delegation movement is incalcu-
liable, just as Is the work of the COM
mittee among the French people,"
ReVisiting the country in which he
fought as an American soldier, Senator
Reed was treated to a revelation, His
last visit to France was made three
years ago, when but little had been ac-
complished in rcconstructions and rec
lamatlon. During his present visit
Senator Reed found France to be a
country which appears new and to
which L feel like stranger"
1T is a wonderful revelation" he
said. land speaks volumes for the de-
termination and industry of the French
people. Everywhere l saw new viii
lagos, with only trace of devastation
here and there. Whole areas Of farm
lands have been reclaimed, farm build
ings erected, roads made smooth and
solid trenches and barbed wire filled
in and raked away, houses and villages
repaired and reconstructed. 1 could
hardly believe my own eyes"
Senator Reed has long been a stu
dent of international affairs and Of the
problems which now confront the
world, and he realizes that the United
States must sooner or later have some
share in the solution of those problems
He made no attempt to obscure the
difficulties of the international situa-
ton and dealt candidly with various
misunderstanding that stand between
various nations.
international distrust," he said, ais
at it's highest point"
The senator took the opportunity dur
ing his visit to study the work of tho
American committee for devastated
France. Coincident with his visit one
of the Good VIII delegations was MAX
ing a tour of France. and the senator
met this group at Belleau Wood, where
he delivered an address on the occasion
of the dedication of the wood as a me-
mortal to the American soldiers who
fell there. After the ceremonies Sena-
tor Reed made motor trip to scissors

grew so angry that he picked up a
great rock and if it had ever hit

nothing left of Little Jack Rabbit

Russia imports German mechanics

United States must do something.
If the race is on. we. must enter. So
the experts in Washington figure on
doubling our air appropriation by
next year and proceed to popularize
the idea by ns-continental flights
and speculation on a trip by air
around the world. Facing the facts
as they are, this is wise business.
But there is a better way out.
That is to alter the facts-to end
this crazy air race as we ended the
crazy naval race. 1t is worse than
folly to say it cannot be done. 1t
is stupidity to say so, because it
can be done. An international con-
ference for limitation of air arm
ament could remove this menace.

AN INTERNATIONAL AIR
LIMITATIONS CONFERENCE

That international relations Will in
time bring about a condition leading
to a reduction in all forms of arma-
nasty appeal to arms when disagree
ments arise, is the hope of the
American Legion. The United States
should always be prepared and as
long as other countries provide for
expensive armament, equipment and
forces for offensive and defensive
purposes this country should not fall
far behind. Service men recommend
when ALI the nations will see the
wisdom of limitation of all kinds of
armaments.
An air limitations conference to
end the race for international SUI
premacy is now suggested as the
need Of the day. The American
Legion Weekly points out editorially
that the questions of land and sea-
power now give no alarm, but with
the question of air-power this is not
so. In the amazing development Of
air armament France has taken the
lead" that publication asserts. For
a long time she built quietly, ap-
parently unregarded by other ma
tions. Then suddenly the world
awakened to the fact that France
had so armed the air as to render
herself not only virtually impregnable
from attack, but had constructed an
offensive weapon more swift and
terrible than anything yet known"
Continuing the magazine of the SER
men declares:
"The sensitive mechanism OF
Europe diplomacy registered
alarm all over that continent. TAX
Ing counsel Of their fears Britain and
~ feverishly began voting stag
ing credits and constructing
ines to meet the French threat:
