Mr.. Moore told the visiting
speakers that the people of Arlington
County felt greatly encouraged by
the warm interest they were showing
in the future of the county. He told
his audience that this outside inter
est was not because the future of
Arlington County links with the fu-

visualize another beautiful city in
the good work.

was anything he could do toward
congressional action. He enumerated

EUROPE MAKES

Among Foreign Peoples
Says Sen. Borah

The United Press recently car
ried q lengthy dispatch from
Webh Miller, i'll London, show
ing that the old world is stead
lily advancing aTmament in an
ticipation of another war. SEN
ator William E. Borah of Idaho,
i'll the following special article
based on Miller's dispatch, de-
clares that it is the govern
ments and not the people of the
varicus nations who are respon-
sible for the trend toward an
ether great struggle.
BY SENATOR VyM. E. BORAH
Copyright. 1926, by United Press)
BOISE. Idaho, Aug. 3.-There are
many things local in their nature
contributing to the unrest which Mr..
Miller portrays, bat the fundament-
al, underlying reason which caused
the British premier to declare
" fear broods over Europe is the
difficulty which governments are
having in mteaching the people the
lesson which these same govern
ments taught the people during the
war. The governments have chang
ell their attitude, the people have
not.
The people in every part of the
world heard from those in author
ity all about self determination,
anti-imperialism, democracy, the
rights of subjects people, etc, and
the people accepted the new doe
trine. They desire to put this doe
trine into practice, in other words,
the new creed is coming in conflict
with the old.
Imperialism Reigns
Self determination has been found
impracticable in the minds of those
who are in authority. Imperialism
reigns throughout, and the rights of
subjects and peoples turn out to
be the right to be exploited. The
situation. for example, results from
DENYING TO the Chinese people every
principle upon which the world war
was fought. The most fundamental
principles Of national integrity are
disregarded and the right of the
Chinese to an Independent govern
ment is being thwarted by foreign
powers. My opinion is that the
cause of peace viii be greatly ad-
vaneed by adhering to the underly-
ing principles upon which the world
war was fought.
As one looks over this dispatch
and realizes that in all probability
the facts are modestly stated, he
concludes that these governments
which aTe spending more money for
armaments than they expended prior
TO the war, might settle their for
cign debts by curtailing Il small
portion Of their ornaments outlay
As matters are now going along, the
American taxpayer is really contrib
uting very large amount to the
maintenance of these great military
establishments of Europe.
