President Hoover traversed with Pre-
mier Laval in their conversations IN
Washington.
Hope springs from it, of course. be-

In the torturous path which the
world is following may turn out to

which we used to hear so much bu,

Economic stability, reparations and

two Of these are very dangerous from

Weavers OF cotton cloth sometime

to attain that end. More than most
Americans, he has a broad interna-
tional viewpoint, and doubtless few
men see all the ramifications Of the
worlds commercial fabric better than
he. It may we'll be that the
United States should scale down
the war debts as the Hoover-Laval
conferences limited. It Is true that
we might do both ourselves and the
world a favor by accepting reductions
in the amounts due us, OF even can
ceiling them altogether.
But it is hardly probable that the
country will accept President Hoover's
leadership in this matter any more
than it was willing to accept Presi-
dent Wilson's leadership on the
League Of Nations question a decade
or so ago.
It might be good economic policy
to cancel or cut down the war debts,
but the right and wrong of the mat
ter cannot be changed by that. No
one denies that we have a just right
to collect the money and-at least
to date-there has been no DISPOSE
ton on the part of the American
public to do otherwise.
The record of the French govern
ment in the last 10 years is none too
favorable from the American view
point. The country may be expected
to keep in mind, when war debts
are discussed, the fact that France
has done more than any other
European nation to keep things
stirred up during the last decade.
Whatever Mr.. Hoover and Premier
Laval agreed upon, the proposals
must be submitted to the senate,
treaty-making body of the country,
before they can take effect.
If these tentative agreements are
what the newspapers hint they may
be, America may see another IDEALS

New York, Oct. 27.-As I walked
across Thirty third street this very

was blocked by a crowd Of paraders
forming In q large arcade.
They were bearing banners carry

For all these names had been writ

autumn sun fell upon the banners.

We Can Be Ashamed Now

Thirteen years after the world
wal the United States government
worries itself about the situation in
Manchuria where war clouds threat
en-. Indications are that both the
Chinese and japanese nations are
being wrought up to fighting pitch,
although the Japanese advance the
rather unique theory that there can
be no war because the Chinese will
not fight.
Nevertheless, the hysteria which
leads to wal is growing in China and
almost anything may happen.
Just how sever and unreasonable
war hysteria may become Is called
to mind by a news item from Chicago.
It tells how representatives of g.
600 German clubs In the United
States, including delegates from
North Dakota, met there to reor-
| ganize the German National Alliance
banned by congress in 1917 for de-
handing American neutrality in the
war"
Compared to China, America is a
literate and vastly enlightened coun'
try, but IA years ago 1t took legal
!! action to suppress an organization
which was making a plea for peace.
In the light of subsequent events,
the conscience of the nation probably
Is a little bit ashamed of that Incl
dent now, although under the stress
of war times it seemed-and perhaps
was-the logical thing to do.

NAVY Day

NAVY Day is being observed in
North Dakota and in Bismarck in a
way to commemorate the valiant
deeds Of the nations sea-going heroes
and in a name commensurate with
the occasion.
Speeches, pilgrimages to the Roose-
welt cabin, flag-raising ceremonies
and other observances tend to lend
interest to the day and should do a
great deal of good by interesting the
citizens and the youth Of our land
in the present-day navy as well Us
in it's history and traditions.
Because he is regarded as the
father of the present-day navy and
because it is his birthday, the name
of Roosevelt will figure large in the
speeches made in connection with
Navy day. Most of them also will
stress the glorious history of. the
American navy and it is glorious.
But few of these speeches will be OF
the type that Roosevelt made when
he was gaining the title of Father
of the Modern American Navy"
For Roosevelt did not hesitate to
point out the weak spots and the
ignoble things in the navy's history.
His book on the naval val of 1912
constitutes II of the most scathing
indictments of American naval policy
and one of the most ruthless expos
ures Of the seamier side OF Americas
naval history in print today.
Great naval victories helped the
nation to preserve itself in the war
of 1872, but not all of the battles
were victories. as even a casual per-
usal Of the former presidents book
will show.
The tragedy of that war, as dis
closed by the president, was the woe
full lack of a constructive policy and
the tremendous ineptitude shown by
the nation in its peace-time support
of this branch of the national de-
Tense. The brightest spot in it is
the clearly demonstrated fact that
no nation in the world has possessed
more able sailors than we, even
though their ships sometimes were
inferior and their armament toe
light.
1t is of the men of the modern navy
and their equipment that we SHOULD
think on this Navy day. They are
defenders Of their country and ii
time of invasion would be called upor
first to make the sacrifice which pat.
riotism might demand. They ar.
entitled to the best of equipment
The most gallant men cannot be ex'
pected to work miracles.
With conditions as unsettled a.
they are throughout the world, it be-
hooves America to give every reason
able support to its present-day navy
To recount the glories of the past i
no substitute for a forward lookins
patriotism today.
The average American car hes
serve his country and the navy b.
being critical of our sea forces an,
our naval policy, just as Roosevelt
was. A glorious past is no safeguar,
against ignominy and defeat in tn
future. To recount the things of on
naval history which are favorabl
and ignore those which are unfavor
able is only to lull ourselves to sleer
If W. are to follow the example 9
Roosevelt we should evidence a con
tinuing interest and should voice
determined demand that the natio
look to the future in its naval policie
as well as to the past.
