Disarmament Conference
Proves a Complete Failure

The recent disarmament confer
ence under the auspices of the
League of Nations, held in Geneva,
proved q failure, just as everyone
who had studied the situation knew
that il would end in failure. 1t was
a season of bluffing, backing and
stalllne, in which nobody got any
advantage, certainly not the paci-
fists. The Russian Reds, with true
Oriental cunning proposed a pro-
gram of disarmament, because they
we'll knew that neither their pro-
gram nor any other program could
be agreed on by the representatives
Cf the powers at Geneva.
The Reds got considerable cheer
ing from their sympathizers in
America and elsewhere, but their
proposals did not cause a ripple in
the general public, because the
general public knows that no coun-
try in the world is more nearly
armed to the teeth than Red Russia
itself, and less inclined to peace.
Disarmament for Europe and that
of course means for the rest of the
world, seems somewhat remote at
this time. Yet there are thousands
of pacifists and internationalists iu
America who insist that, in spite
of the developments in Europe,
Uncle Sam ought to abandon his
navy and disperse his army. None
are so blind as tho,e who do not
desire to see, and the pacifist who
cannot get a good view of European
diplomacy from what happened al
Geneva recently, certainly is uD-
willing to use his eyesight for any
sensible purpose.

lzaak Walton League
VIII Organize Here

Plans are being perfected for The
organization of local CHAPTER of
the lzak Walton League Of America,
National Organization deLlcatt d
to the conservation of outdoor
America aud publishers of Outdoor
America, one of he leading maya
zines devoted to outdoor recrea-
tional activities Next Monday
evening the local members will
meet at the Masonic Hall and elect
permanent officers and map out a
program of work TO be undertaken
this season, and anyone who is
interested and who has rot, as yet,
become member, is invited 10
attend.
Waltonism is not merely a ma
chine for the benefit of the hunter
aud the angler. Nor is it a sport
mans club.
Waltonism crystal zeS a very
definite and vital need in American
life and answers it.
Ii is d creed of outdoors and all
that outdoors means. Ii offers
health, happiness, prosperity ana
character. Outdoors and recreation
are the foundation on which out
standing character in the true
American is built. From the DAYS
of the pilgrims down 10 this day,
the outdoors has been The great
fac'or which shaped our national
characteristics and integrity. There
IS a very close connection between
outdoor recreation and our indivi-
dual and national progress in mater
la ways, II has vital bearing
upon our ever increasing national
and individual wealth. America s
magnificent outdoors and the oppor-
tunltles Io use them are the great
things which this wonderful country
has to offer you. To take full ad-
vantage of such an opportunity is
the soundest kind of good sense.
Great economists coming from Eu-
rope have found that this is the
principle differeLcs between their
countries and America. In fact
they definitely state that the great
American success is largely due to
Americas great outdoors and nat.
uraI resources. And they are right.
WaltODism is the machine-lhe
organization which our people have
built SO that il may teach the saw
ing and beneficial use of outdoors
and their restoration in all phases.
Not only to anglers and hunters
not only to campers and tourists,
but to every soul in this country is
Waltonism beneficial.
