A waiting throng stood outside In the

Others have done nobly and we count
over their names with devout remem-

South Africa Despite Trade Reversal
Clings to Gold as Money Basis

Africa, in contrast with the rest Of
the world, was enjoying a period Of
prosperity almost approaching that of
1929. Gold, South Africa's greatest
expert, was in greater demand than
ever and the American drought. cou-
pied with crop failures in the Argen-
record market in Great Britain Aus

ly a competitor any longer.
Now Australian money is at a dis
count Of nearly 80 per cent in terms
Of South African money. and Britain
is buying from the antipcdes in pref
erence to South Africa. In fact, the
British public simply cannot pay the
prices asked for South African prod
uce, and great agricultural industry
has practically been destroyed.

"by technical consideration of this par
ticular form of armament or that! And
let us concentrate upon one form OF re-
duction Of armaments! Let us demand
definite cut of rs per cent in the total
military expenditures Of the powers
represented at the conference. Each
state should be bound to effect such a
reduction in the expenses OF its navy,
army and air force"
This plan Is, of course very simple.
But here also there are objections.
There is, among others. the objection
that, since the World War and since
they became members of the League
Of Nations, all the nations have not in
creased their electives or their military
budget in the same proportion and to
the same extent. One nation, for in
stance, might have increased its
national defense budget by 100 per
cent since 1918, whereas another
country spends approximately the
same amount as 1t did 19 years ago.
duce their budget by IS per cent it is
an arithmetical fact that nevertheless
the first country will spend so per cent
more than in 1918 and the second one
rs per cent less. The reduction is
therefore greater for the first than
for the second.
On the other hand, budgetary ex-
penditures are not always q fair cri-
terion of the military or naval strength
of a country. Some countries, the
United States, for instance, have a
higher standard of living than others
and pay more to their officers and men.
Some also produce their material and
their machinery at a higher cost. A
nation may consequently spend more
for the same number of men under
arms and for the same number of guns
manufactured at home than another
nation. Is 1t fair to apply to both the
same method Of calculation and evalu-
alton?
Here lies the second range of OBJ
stacles to the limitation of armamants.
But there are other difficulties which
might well be quite insuperable.
Suppose that all nations agree TO cut
down to a certain extent their arma-
ments: some one will have to control the
execution of the agreement.
1t was proposed in the preparatory
parleys Of the conference 70 intrust the
control to the Geneva league. THE
observance Of the obligations contracted
by the various states" wrote Lord Cecil,
should be insured by permanent dis
armament commission established at
the seat Of the League of Nations and
exercising its control equally over all
nations" Well and good. But is it a
certitude that the United States. which

Stumbling Blocks to Peace

has constantly refused TO have any
thing to do with the League Of Nations,
will admit the control of the league over
its Army and Navy? Is there any
chance that Russia, which has shown
herself bitter opponent Of the league,
will admit 1t?
Control Presents Problem.
Moreover, how is the control to work?
1t is hardly conceivable that perma-
nent commission established in Geneva
would be satisfied with the mere COM
munication by the various powers Of
statistics and data. Will every state
allow a delegation Of foreign experts to
investigate its arsenals, its dockyards,
its warehouses, its ammunition plants,
its account books? In Germany there
has been passed law under which any
German citizen giving information
about war material, even II Such lnIor-
nation is inaccurate, commits crime
against the state and is sent before the
High Court of Leipzig. Will this law be
maintained? And what If other nations
pass similar laws?
What, also, about the control OF aerial
armaments? 1t Is rather easy to agree
that an army will not have more than
so many airplaneS in service, and II
is even easy to control the agreement.
But what about commercial aviation?
Are We going to limit 1t and at the
same time limit progress of trade and
transportation? Or are we going to let
every nation develop its aerial traffic
at will? And how will We be able to
guarantee that honest commercial air
planes will not in the space of two days
be transformed into war engines.
Finally, it might be asked how the
complex question Of the physical train
ing of young people will be solved. Italy,
for instance. has decided that her youth
shall be compelled for a certain number
of days each year to take form Of
physical training which looks very much
like military training The young men
learn shooting, camping. climbing,
marching and drilling, yet they will
certa:n :nly not be accounted for SOL
6iers in the army. But who could deny
that in case Of conflict nation
having 100000 young men trained 70
fight has a distinct superiority over
another nation with the same army
forces. but having no trained youth?
1t is without any maliciousness that
I have drawn up this long list Of
queries. They will be put at the con-
ference, and they will have to be an
swered. They tend only TO show how
delicate and how extensive are the
problems facing the parley.

1t was the privilege Of the writer
to have known Susan B. Anthony per-
sonally. and one Of her last utterances
was, Whether in the body or out of
the body. I shall never cease to work
until women all over the world are

Therefore, were Miss Anthony living
today, I am sure that she would be
willing to continue her efforts until
the 100000 citizens of the District Of
Columbia shared the same rights and
privileges with other citizens Of the

Susan B. Anthony was, and still Is.

One thing that can be marked down
to the everlasting credit of the British
colonial system is the Sudan Slavery
Patrol. In recent years not single

sinia across the frontier dhey come in
twos and threes and sometimes in
groups numbering as many as 1901
has been handed back to the Rases.
The modern underground railway" as
such routes were known in American
Civil War days, leads to Kurmak, in
the Fung province on the Abyssinian
frontier, where an ex-slave community
has been founded, ct Gharb-el-Gash,
near Kasalla. Here work and liberty
ere assured the native. Some even find
husbands and wives and establish them
selves upon the land which is furnished
to them.
Slavery Their Business.
Oficial reports by Lord Lugard and
other investigators tell OF powerful
Abyssinian families which for genera
tions have made the slave trade their
chief business. Like Amer can boot
leggers. they have their agents, spies and
paid hunters. Contacts are made with
the Mussulman traders and with Ital-
ian Eritrea and French Somaliland.
The Shiek Of Aussa, for example, still
levies a fixed charge of 30 thalers per
head on slaves transported through
this territory About 5000 slaves are
said to pass along this route yearly.
Once slaves enter Arabia they are
lost so far as protection or interven-
ton by the civilized colonial powers
are concerned. There is no way Of
checking up on them, either. Conserv-
