For Pence

During TIE final months OF 1925 the world moved
an appreciab,e step nearer an enduring peace.
When the nations OF Europe met al Locarno an"
set their names to the treaty devised there, they
gave the rest Of mankind solemn pledge that
never again would the jealouses and hatreds ara
fears of close neighhors plunge a continent into war
The tragedy of 1914 they promised would not be
repeated
= 1t was splendid thing But why stop at
l.ocarno?
rhe United States is far removed from Europe.
We long since decided that we need not take par
in Europe's deliberations; that our isolation was
su,r, that Europes qnarre.s need not concern MS
But European nations are not the only ones with
whom we have diplomatic relations. On the left.
as you face north lies the Pacific ocean; ana beyond
the Pacific lies Japan.
Let's be frank about II. For a good many years
:lave lived with the notion that some day the
United states and Japan would come to blows We
base Il big fleet in the Pacific and Japan does like
wise Very often some of the political leaders on
both sides make ill-consdered speeches that add to
the mutual suspicion and hostility.
Let's be brutay frank. War betweensthe United
States and Japan during the next decade is not at
all improbable In fact at this writing it is almost
impossible to how the United States get
involved in a war with anyone else.
This isn't lingo talk It's plain facing of the
facts. There is no use to disguise the danger that
faces U.S.
Very well; to the point Why not a Iocarnn
OF own?
Way should not representatives of japan and the
United States sit down together the representa-
lives of European nations did, with an open rccog
milton OF the pers they facing and an hones1
desire to remove them?
Could not Americans and Japanese to a,
agreement Of the Locarno sort-an agreement tina
might make possible further reduction in the load
of ornaments under which each country labors ar
agreement that would permit us to look to the fir
fo-ebodng?
Surely there is desire for peace at bottom The
average American doesn't want a war with Japan
he merely fears that day one will be neces
sary. And the vaerage Japanese feels the same wa,
about it.
After all. the exact form of the treaty isn't i'm
portant. Words on paper mean nothing unless ther'
is a spirit back OF them. But il that spirit is o.
the right sort the words everything
The spirit is waiting to be given expression. Nei
Their nation wants war Let the leaders get togethe
and free us from our last fear of armed conflict
Make the enduring peace universal Let's hav,
a Locarno OF own!

they are getting along, and how they
are feeling and all that.
1.-THE newspaper? oh, a friend al

Twenty years ago, I was told, "the
lighthouse" had its beginning.
Miss Winifred Holt and her sister
now both married-had been visit
ing in Italy. They noticed many
blind people in the theaters and an
idea came to them. When they re-
turned to New York they arranged q
fund to buy theater tickets for blind
folk.
But in the course of time they
learned that what most Of the blind
wanted was employment and educa-
ton for employment, rather than d.
version. Thereafter, the association
began to make them self-supporting
and to turn the blind beggars Of the
streets into economies units.
It has been eminently successful.
There is even a theater where blind
actors stalk about 50 skillfully that
their blindness seems incredible.

Go Down Into the Mills-and Learn

Down where the river winds it's sluggish way
through grimy forest Of towering stacks and rusty
red wharves, the steel mills raise their great iron

Inside. the mills are like weird temples of the
underworld great caverns of darkness spotted
with patches OF glowing white where the molten
metal appears, criss-crossed aloft and below with
backened Orders, miniature tramways cables
overhead cranes and monstrous machines that no
layman could name.
The mills are places of work work that taxes
muscles to the last limit of their capacity-work
that leaves mems bodies limp and exhausted, that
wrings from their brains every drop of creative
energy and leaves only desire TOR rest and quiet
Only those who :lave worked in steel mills can tell
how tired these workers get.
Yet there Is no shortage OF laborers. Day after
day, year after year, the long lines OF men with
dinner pals wind through these streets morning and
evening They come from homes that are little
more cheerful, sometimes, than the mills t;lem-
selves. With patient tired faces they face new,
days they faced new days yesterday uncom-
