There's something about the occupation which

farmer can with justice ask for something else

The Naval Reduction Mandate

Tho rrasident wanted an expression of public
oDinion on the London naval conference. He has It,
TIL appeal of 1900 prominent and women
hroughout the country-Governors college presidents
business men, ministers iudges-and OF twenty ma
tional organizations is typical of public opinion so
far as the peoples will be aScertained the same
onnea1 II, essence has been made by the majority OF
the press.
II is a simple appeal 1t merely asks delega-
ton at London to stand by the official American policy
of naval reduction as pronounced and pledged by
President Hoover 1t gives the President the hearten-
ino assurance that the American people are backing
him in that reduction policy. 1t says
1--WE base our expectations upon President Hoovers
arn,istice dav speech in which he declared, We Will
reduce our naval strength in proportion to any other
Having said that only remains for the others to say
how low they will 60 1t can not be too low Tor us
We protest against any possibility that this policy OF
reduction may be abandoned
Eve pledge to the President and American delega-
ton our active and continued support for the con-
cuson Of such agreements enabody the principles
OF reduction and conference and at the same time
meet the Justly aroused expectations of the entire
world.
I'VE can not impress too strongly upon the Arneri
can delegation the caamtous effect which the failure
Of the London conference to achieve these principles
would have upon American opinion"
In addition to the Presidents pledges the appeal
tes the Kellogg pact in which all the powers at Lon
don have agreed TO war in favor OF settling
disputes by peaceful means
Finally the appeal urges the Importance of taking
steps at the London conference TO utilize the principle
joint conference in the case of dispute which other
wise might lead to war"
The Importance of this appeal is not that it raises
any new issues or that it throws light upon the
London mpaSSe. The same things have been said re-
peatedly by individuals groups and newspapers in the
United States and by American correspondents and
observers at the conference.
The significance of this appeal is in showing that
he responsible and representative leaders Of the
country are alive to the danger that the London
terence viii force wholesale naval increases instead OF
reductions and that the United States will be loaded
with billion-dolar naval building program
Furthermore, all observers there agree that i've
cover reduction treaty of any kind is virtually i'm
,ossible unless the United States signs political
eaty similar to 1922 Pacific pact agreeing merely
confer with the other powers If ever threatens
But the American delegation mas rejected both the
British proposal for batteship reduction and the
French proposal for consultation pact Therein Is
the danger which has called forth the appeal Of the
400 for q return to the Hoover policy.

1T SEEMS TO ME By HE EYo91S

NF course, have my prejudices,
" but it seems to me that the
first day of the dryS before the
house judiciary committee was not
impressive. For one thing, there
was a lack of teamwork.
Samuel Crowther, the magazine
writer, opined that "the amount
spent by a moderate steady drinker
in the old days will buy an auto
on the installment plan"
And just a few minutes later, the
Rev. DR.. Daniel A. Polling, president
Of the Christian Endeavor Society,
was denying the corruption Of youth
under Volsteadism, and insisting
that the most potent cause Of jul
venile delinquency was the auto
Seemingly, if the gin doesn't get
them, the rumble seat must.
But the strangest part Of the dry
drive was it's general unconcern with
moral factors. Once upon a time
it was held that prohibition was an
ethical concept. We were even told
that it was an experiment, noble
in motive"
That argument has by now been
largely abandoned. For instance,
Crowther, the opening big gun for
the VoIsteaders, said frankly that
he was not interested IN any moral
or legal phase of the prohibition
problem. He offered the country
golden pottage garnished with

ever before are not inclined to
blame it on the inherent depravity
of boys and girls.
We say it's good generation and
a bad law, and that any spirited
group will always meet a frivolous
and a hypocritical shalt not" with
rebellion.
Generally, am puzzled as to the
sources which investigators tap in
their search for information. Thus,
DR.. Polling attempted to settle the
question of drinking by under
graduates with the statement that
he had telegraphed to sixty-two
college presidents, and that out of
his twenty-Six replies, only four had
admitted that such condition ex-
listed.
1t seems to me that one of the last
persons likely to have close and
Intimate knowledge of student alco-
holic activities would be the presi-
dent.
Least Of all was I impressed with
the testimony Of Edward Heating
editor OF Labor, who seemed content
to rest his Volstead adherence on
the fact that the modificationists
could not muster even 100 votes in
the house.
Since when has any American
considered it reproach to be a
member of a sincere and honest
minority?
