LONG WAY TO GO

DR.. William E. Rappard Swiss
delegate to the League of Nations,
said in New York recently that while
the London naval conference is a
step in the right direction, it must
not be regarded by Americans as a
promising precedent for. a general
world disarmament. DR.. Rappard
declared:
1T does not follow because three
powers have been able to agree on a
limitation of their naval armaments
at London that all the states repre-
sented at Geneva will be able to
agree on a limitation of all arma-
ments. Indeed, the political and
technical difficulties which confront
those engaged in the pursuit of this
much more ambitious goal would
seem insuperable. No ratio of rela-
tive needs and possibilities, such as
that which the United States, Great
Britain and Japan agreed upon at
London, can be devised in Geneva to
satisfy the conflicting views of Eu-
ropean powers"
He continued that 'the relative
potency of land armament cannot be
measured and controlled as easily
as that of naval forces. Therefore,
if progress on the road to general
disarmament is effectively to be pro-
NOTED in Geneva, the methods
adopted will have to be radically
different from those successfully ap-
piled in limited field in London"
There is doubtless a great deal of
truth in the above assertions. We
have had two naval limitations con-
ferences which have been able to
reach agreements because the United
States, a growing naval power, was
able to use its potent influence for
naval disarmament. But when it
comes to land armaments the situa-
ton is different. Uncle Sam does
not have a big army, not so large
in comparison as many of the third
rate powers in Europe. He cannot
insist on land disarmament because
he has nothing to offer in the way
of sacrifice.
Now if the nations of Europe, with
their tremendous armies are as
much interested in peace as our
own internationalists profess to be-
lieve, let them keep up the good work
started by Uncle Sam and cut down
their armies in proportion to ours.
Will they do it? Not so anyone
can notice it. They would perhaps
be willing to listen if Uncle Sam
were to guarantee each of them i'm
from attack by a neighbor
and promise, i'll case of trouble, to
send a few million of our boys over
into Europe again. But unless Uncle |
Sam agrees to this-and he will not |
agree-there will be nothing doing |
about reducing the size of the arm
les.
Our own piffling pacifists and in
have often tried to /
picture for us a militaristic Uncle
Sam standing, with his efficient
navy, in the way of peace. Now with
his tiny army Uncle Sam is not
standing in the way of peace. Some
body else is doing that so far as land
is concerned, and it is
now up to our paciflsts to try to
remedy this situation. Let them try
it and see how far they get.

THE NAVAL TREATY

Many senator's want to go home
before considering the naval reduc-
tion treaty signed at the London con-
ference, but the president feels they
should stick it out and settle the
question this summer. The public
has felt that the senate has delayed
a settlement of the tariff question too
long, hence it is hardly in a position
to plead the need of vacation now.
If it had acted as promptly on the
tariff bill as the country desired, it
would not have had to debate the
naval treaty in the hot weather. The
minds of most senators are probably
made up on this treaty, and if so,
they might as well vote and get this
matter out of the way as to have it
delay regular progress of business
next winter.

Black walnut planted in unused or
waste places" ON the farm or in
good-sized openings in woodlands is
likely to make profitable crop.
Rough, hilly places where the soil
is good but otherwise poorly adapt
ed to crops, large fence corners,
fence rows, hollows, ravines, stream
banks, and large pockets of good soil
among rocky Out-crOppings in fields
and pastures are excelletn places
for growing black walnut. Do not
let sycamore, soft maple, alder, will
low, beech, black gum, dogwood, or
worthless shrubs occupy such
places, says the Forest Service.

COMPLAINING OF COMPETITORS

1t is customary for many business
people to complain of the competi-
tion of modern trade. 1t would be
better sense to study this competi-
tiOn and initiate it, instead of com
planning about it.
Usually when some business con-
cern gets trade away from it's
neighbors, and other localities, it
has done it by advertising it's mer-
chandise better. Instead of COM
planning because some concern hurts
your trade, why not initiate the
methods by which that concern got
your trade? Try a little advertising,
and build up your own trade, in
stead of worrying about what some
competitor gets.

THE NATION,S PERIL

Many thoughtful utterances were
delivered to the country on the re-
cent Memorial Day. Among then
was one by President Angel, oi
Yale University. He remarked that
the greatest peril confronting the
nation is not faithiulness to public
trust, nor corruption in it's more
overt forms.
The greatest peril, according to
DR.. Angel, is from the tendency of
"sordid and vulgar" people, to mag
Nifty money and the power which it
conveys as the dominating forces in
our national life."
According to this point of view,
many people who denounce corrup-
tiOn in politics as the nations great
est peril, are themselves a still
greater danger, from the spirit of
money grabbing and money worship
ping which they manifest. Political
corruption is a disgusting sort of
thing, but the amount of money
which it steals from the people is
limited. But when people worship
money, they introduce an element of
deterioration into the national life
that spreads far and wide. Their
false standards divert the minds of
millions of followers from the truly
noble ends of life. They create a
selfish spirit that keeps the country
in turmoil through class conflict.
People are thereby led away from
those simple and genuine interests
that give the best satisfactions, and
are induced to follow aims that give
them no peace or happiness.
When people value money so
highly, they become hard boiled and
cynical. Feeling that the possession
of wealth is the one desirable thing,
they often resort to sharp tricks to
gain possession of it. Thus the spirit
Of dishonesty spreads and pervades
The community. 1t should be the
business of churches, schools, col
leges, newspapers, magazines, and
all sources of enlightenment, to
spread the idea that the pursuit of
wealth is not the first aim of man.

STRENGTH FROM THE SOIL

The young men value physical
culture, and if sincere in that feel
ing, it will do them good to get out
on some farm this summer and pitch
hay and hoe corn. The physical pow
er thus gained will be a help in
carrying the football next fall.
While the indoor workers are
bending over their ledgers, restrict
ing the normal movement of their
physical organs, breathing air laden
with human impurities, the farm
workers are inhaling natures purest
ozone. There seems to be some
strength giving quality in the soil,
and when we work ON it is passes
into our bodies. When we quit it
and live OH the footing of man made
buildings, we lose contact with fun
damental sources of energy. The
young man who would be strong,
should have some contact with the
soil.

If the retail dealers went to the
factories and bought their products
without being solicited, then perhaps
they might logically expect the pub

without being solicited by advertis-

FACING LIFE

Much of our attention here in Del
aware is given about now to the
young folks who are graduating
from schools and colleges. Here we
have a million new recruits coming
into the world of activity. With what
hopes do they face the future? Do
they tremble on the brink of the un-
known, or do they face life with
buoyant courage?
The spirit of confidence with which
these youngsters face the uncertain
ties of the future has something
very cheering about it. It. is an en-
couragement to people Of all ages.
For courage does take people long
way. Many folks fail to accomplish
much in the world, because they fear
to tryout their powers.
The young people come out from
their studies with a feeling of
strength and forcefulness. They be-
lieve they can do things. They are
not afraid of a few failures. They
have a feeling that the world is
kindly, and in the long run they will
get along.
When people have that attitude to-
ward life, they usually do get along.
They may get knocked down a few
times, but all the time they are gain
ing experience, and learning val
liable things. They may learn more
out of a failure, than lot of older
folks do out of years of routine and
mediocre success.
The older man with a wife and
children dependent on him goes
slow. He hesitates long before he
risks a small certainty for a large
uncertainty. The youth starts out
in life with freedom to choose. All
the world is open to him. He knows
he can make good somehow.
If the captains of industry won't
take him into their offices, then he
knows he can dig dirt, and he is
willing to do anything to make good.
Such spirit will carry many of them
a long way, and the energy and cour-
age of each class of graduates helps
carry business and industry and
community life to higher level.
