Pay Your Doctors to Keep Off
 the "Dead Beat" List

The recent publication in these columns by the Territor- ial Medical Association of an advertisement urging the pub lie to pay their doctor bills with greater promptitude was in our opinion we'll justified, although to some such action might ap- pear an unseemly departure from the old time ethical con- servatism.
 Doctors bills, however, are entitled to ~no less considerat- on than those of the butcher md baker, but on the whole there are few who do not leave the settlement of their doctor bill until at least the bulk of
 heir other debts are paid.
 The good doctors of the com nunity are deserving of the most prompt reward for faith 'ul services rendered at all ;imes. This can come only through prompt payment of Tour doctors bill and a kindly word for the good work they 10. There is no question that he doctors are the worst inn posed upon set of professional nen known, but the happy part )f it is these servants of human ty are getting away with the lead beat just as are all good business men. It is right that
 hey should in order to render .he deserving patients the bes, 'arvice. In real charitable ;ases, of course, there are few doctors who do not go the linn t, but it is not right for them 70 suffer at the hands of the
 mpostor and the thankless. I It is just as necessary for you to pay your doctor as promptly as you can as it is to pay the butcher or grocer or any one else from whom you obtain
 ;elvice or goods. They have heir bills to pay regularly and we are we'll aware that they not infrequently find it hard Q do so owing to the failure of
 heir patients to play as fair with them as they do with oth- er creditors.

WASHINGTON

George Washington was a man who could live in his time, yet ahead of his time. He was a polished, captivating English gentleman, and he was our much-beloved American. He owned vast estates, he kept slaves, rode in a coach and lived on a high social plane. He wore a powdered wig, knee britches and buckle slippers. His tall stature, noble counte- nance and manly bearing gave him an air of superiority. He was grace and dignity, stateli ness and honor personified.
 His was personality tha impressed others with tremen dous reserve power. His stat uesqueness and nobility ant withal his sympathetic quail ties made him the mightiesi leader of the eighteenth cent ury, and history holds the names of precious few who wrought as he did.
 He possessed rare sagacity of judgement. He had fore sight and insight. His counse was always of the best, for his decisions were deliberate and sound. As a military chieftain his triumphs were many. The seige of Trenton was a glory all it's own. At Monmouth, Prince ton and Yorktown he showed himself true knight, brave as the greatest hero, unflinching as the sturdiest patriot. He was always calm in defeat, modest in victory.
 The first president of the nat. ion he had made by the sword he moulded those states into z mighty, compact union, ant gave the world the first grear inter p1etation of nationalism inspiring those defenders who came later. A most wonderful man; a veritable super-man il that history has shown him tt have been one of the greates of all human figures of whom history bears record; tht organizer of new principle of government that has built ul the mightfest single nation tht world has ever known, he rich ly deserves to be called "Tht Father of His Country"

 Great Britain couasered fa,at in view of the French program, she could accept no limitation upon construction of anti-submarine craft which means cruisers, destroyers and all smaller types of combat vessels.
 At that point the Washington conference abandoned the effort to limit by treaty any other form of naval construction than battleships and airplane carriers.
 Treaty Definitions
 It did, however, write treaty defi- nitions affecting other categories of ships. Under the Washington treaty no vessel other than 8 battleship may carry guns larger than 3-inch bore and no combat vessel other than a battleship or airplane carrier, whether for sur face or sub-surface use, may ex- ceed 10000 treaty standard tons in displacement.
 It also provided that no merchant ship could be equipped in peace time to carry guns larger than G. inch bore.

was who conceived the project of the world economic conference which was held with such success at Geneva several years ago. He believes in international coopera- tion and is an enthusiastic packer of the League of Nations.
 In expanding his ideas, M. Lou cheur gave importance to two eco- homie factors. One was the indus trial power of the United States. The other was that Europe with two million unemployed knows but mediocre economic existence, He said:
 The activity of the United States has developed because of it's mass production, while Europe produces only on small scale The United States has an enormous internal market with the average American having a much bigger purchasing power than the average European
 M. Loucheur thought that if the 200 million people of Europe could be grouped under the same eco homie banner the purchasing power of Europe would be immensely in creased.
 He believed it possible to ar range for rationing of production m ong European countries and pointed out that at Geneva ex- perts already are trying to work this out in respect to sugar and coal.

 He then invited the five powers to reassenble, but France and Italy found themselves unable to accept his invitation Rather than aban- don the effort completely, MT. Coolidge reduced his project to a three-power conference between the United States, Great Britain and Japan.
 Parity Basis
 That met in Geneva and made no progress, due to conflict be- tween Great Britain and the United States as to the size of the cruiser fleet each would retain on a parity basis.
 The United States wanted redue- tion to 250,000 tons; Great Britain wanted upward of 500,0O0 tons. The question of Japanese cruiser ra- tio was never reached.
 Following failure of the Geneva conference, the Baldwin ministry in Lcndon negotiated naval &C., cord with France.
