DIARMAMENT DOOMED

Discovery that Norman III. Davis,
American ambassador at Large" is one
of those who accepted favors at the hands
of the House of Morgan has not helped the
cause of world disarmament, that idealis-
tic dream of those who refuse to be prac-
tical even at the expense of human life.
Davis had put his foot into his mouth
by promising at Geneva that in return for
general disarmament agreements the
United States would stand pledged to take
up arms against any nation that invades
another.
This startling statement, said to have
had Roosevelts approval, proposed di-
rect reversal of the traditional American
policy of neutrality.
1t proposed the setting up of policy
which, had it been in effect year ago,
would have had us already at war against
Japan for invading China.
Fortunately the U. S. Senate has turn
ed thumbs down on the proposal.
The incident perhaps has served to
awaken few more Americans to the total
lack of European sincerity in its several
disarmament gestures.
They are for disarmament only so long
as we do the disarming.
