Cibson's Speech Held
Fine Start for Peace
From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

rTolH the St LOUIS POSI-DlSpHLCU.
The preparatory disarmament COM
mission has made an impressive start
by reason of the address of our Ameri-
can Ambassador to Belgium, Hugh
Gibson.
AS Mr.. Hoover's spokesman, Mr.. Glib
son made it plain that the United
States was ready for drastic reductions,
that it was welded to no particular
formula, but was prepared whole
heartedly to enter into any equitable
program. Substantial results are what
are wanted. Methods are secondary.
The old notion of "gun-for-gun and
ton-for-ton" is discarded. The special
necessities of different nations are to
be recognized. Within the tonnageS
agreed upon the signatories are to be
allowed broad freedom of judgment as
to the size and number of units in
the various categories.
Mr.. Gibsons address was a declara-
"tlon of peace. Reference was made to
the kellogg pact. The remuneration of
war as a national policy has, it was
argued, cleared the atmosphere and
made effective accomplishment possible.
The nations can now undertake dis
armament on the basis of prospective
friendlineSS rather than of prospective
| hostility. Old fears and suspicious may
be junked. The most striking para
graph in the Americans speech was
this:
IF We are honest, If the solemn
promise of our pact means anything,
! there is no Justification for a continu-
ance of a war-taxed peace. Great
ornaments are but the relic of another
age, but they will remain a necessary
relic until the present deadlock is
broken, and that can be accomplished
only by decision of the powers pos
sessing the greatest ornaments to
initiate measures of reduction"
There is sincere good will in Mr..
GibSon'S words. Optimism is war
ranted. The cause of disarmament has
been given momentum The dream of
peace has taken on the outlines of
logical reality.

The Bus Terminal Impasse.

The new Public Utilities Commission
will inherit the problem of seeing to the
establishment Of centrally located bus
terminal for Washington. 1t is to be
hoped that it will find solution. The
matter so far. has been allowed to take
care of itself. The Public Utilities Com
mission has conducted two trips OF in
spection to other cities far ahead OF
washington in the matter of bus
terminals. and while these trips have
produced interesting information regard
ing the efficiency and general utility OF
bus terminals they have apparently
done nothing TO expedite the building OF
a terminal here. The result is that the
bus-riding public is inconvenience and
the public in general loses the use Of a
generous portion of the streets upon
which the bus companies enjoy free
parking privileges.
A recent hearing before the commits
sion developed several suggestions from
real estate men as to the location OF
bus terminal. The real estate men were
present as interested parties with prop
erty to sell. The bus companies were
interested spectators, but apparently are
not in the market for downtown real
estate. The Public Utilities Commission,
Of course. cannot buy the property and
erect a terminal There the matter
ended and there it stands.
The Public Utilities Commission mas
taken the attitude from the beginning
that its authority in the matter Is re-
stricted to its right to order buses to
make use of a terminal, if and when II
ia built II has left the construction OIL
such a terminal to private interests
which might find the venture CONNER
cially attractive AS no such interests
have presented themselves the terminal
remains unbuilt
How long can such a condition OF
allowed to continue? Do the bus COM
uanies bear no responsibility? lncreas'

ether transportation lines that do, the!
are permitted to sit idly by while tn
public and the Public Utilities CommiS

Commission that will solve 1t.

Tennessean Strike
Significant in North
From the Utica observer-D Dispatch.

from the utica ObSerVer-DiSpatch.
There is significance for New York
and New England in the strike of 1000
men and women in a rayon corporation
at EliZabethton, Tenn. The strike IS
for an increase in wages ranging from
Is to 80 per cent.
This is significant because textile
mills have been moving or establishing
branch plants in the South where labor
conditions, it has been explained. are
more favorable than in the North.
These favorable conditions include
lower wages, longer hours, lack of State
laws designed to protect workers from
fire hazards. unhealthy working condi-
tons and other evils. Some of the
labor laws of the North are reasonable
and some of them are needlessly ex-
pensive and unjust, but the South is
notable for the lack of laws of either
kind. So the mills have been moving
South.
This strike is one indication that the
history Of the rise of industry in the
South will repeat the history of the
North. If wages are decidedly lower in
the South than in the North. it is nat
ural to expect that the workers will
seek to bring them up comparably with
those Of the North.
Reports from the South indicate also
that labor legislation, such as work.
mems compensation. laws. is being
agitated Probably such legislation will
come much quicker in the South than
1t did in the North, because of the ex-
perience and example of the North.
Factories and mills had no such legis-
lation of consequence in the North for
many years. 1t will probably be differ
ent i'll the South.
1t need not be surprising. therefore.
If the labor advantage of the South
will be wiped out within rather short
period of years.
If the South can still talk of its
nearness to the raw product, the North
can speak of It's presence at the great
markets AS for power rates. the
North, with the st. Lawrence and with
coal, need not be at any great disad-
vantage.
Moreover. the history Of man has al

Survey of War Gains
Made on Anniversary
From the Terre Haute Star.

From the Terre Haute Star.
The twelfth anniversary of Americas
entry into the World War passed with
little notice. Among the references
to the date down at Washington were
assertions by two members of Congress
that the great conflict was fought in
vain. George w. Norris. Senator from
Nebraska, was one of the La Toilette
group which voted against the declara-
ton of war. He is the lone Senate
survivor of that band. He stated that
he had no regrets over his attitude in
1917 and that he would adopt the same
course again.
Representative Britten Of Illinois,
chairman of the House naval commit
tee, said that the war had been fought
in vain, since the world had not been
made safe for democracy. He predicted
that it will require 500 years to over
come the disaster of the war. That
estimate, of course, is nothing more
than one mans guess. Mr.. Britten. 1t
will be recalled, sought to ignore diplo-
matte precedent by writing directly 10
the British premier about naval arma-
ment.
Many attempts have been made TO
gauge the results of the war in the
light of world peace and a permanent
order of Safeguarding states rescued
from the patchwork of Europe's auto
cratic regime. The conflict was not a
success if weighed by the assurances of
guaranteed peace, or gagged by the
number of men now under arms or
the cost of armament budgets. 1t was
not successful in automatically assuring
the full rights of citizenship, of free
speech and religious worship 10 all
minoritieS.
On the other side of the ledger, how
ever, are movements toward the goal
of peace scarcely dreamed of before
the guns began to roar in the late
Summer of 1914. The League and the
World Court may be controversial sub
jectS in the political field but they
mark a step never attempted before.
International hatredS and jealousieS
may remain, but experience has DEM
onstrated the terrible price of war, and
thus the world conflict acts as a partial
deterrent.
The will for peace exists now as never
before. and 1t must be respected in those
nations where popular opinion still finds
expression. DictatorShipS of the type
which governs Italy may create perilS
to peace, but they will pass. Limita-
ton of armament is discussed and some
progress has been achieved Science
has made the prospect of another war
so terrible that countries must pause TO
weigh the possibilities Of arbitration.
The peSsimist can find arguments TO
support his contention that the same
hatreds are sowing the seeds of the
next war. The last one left its fall
ures. But it was by no means entirely
futile
