Fortifications Fortifications also are armament; and costly. With a holiday in build- . ing battleships; it is nutural to extend the idea to fortifications. ', Little objection run. be found to th-? agreement of tho Pacific powers not to build any more furts on their Pa cific islands during the next decade, especially as "coastal islands' includ ing our own Hawaiian group, are ex empted. As long as there is any de fensive strength in forts, the UniUd States will doubtless want them in that western outpost, just as Japan will on the islands near Nippon. Hut with such an agreement the vr.rious v powers might start a general sciam ; We to fortify their distant island pos sessions all over the Pacific, for de- fenso against seizure. That could -: 'bankrupt the world, there are so many of them. It could also lead to :t war. It is bettor to tslop such mad ness before it starts.; . ; - It may not be giving up much, oil n ; r, in the way of defense. It is doubt- Jul whether any fort now existing Is ' jrood for much against present high explosive shells and air bombs. Fu tufo forts may bo little more IViiin (moderately bomb-proof shelters ' for f fighting planes. That Russian Trade tho world has be'ird much of Or many's effort to monopolize Kusslnn trijde. and the fear has been fro quently expressed that this peaceful, post-war invasion holJs n thrcnt to the world's well-being comparable to that of the conquest which the .Kais er's armies almost achieved. There may be menace in the situation, but it is hardly evident as yet. ;' Germany's 1!'J1 trade with Russi.t 5s'hardly half that of Great Hrilain and the English has enjoyed but H': per cent of the total. The United State A i a fair third, with a reeog Ttb.ed 10i percent, hut most of our ex. Iports have gone by way of Siberia, Sweden, Lithuania, Ksthonia, Latvia Holland. DtnmjiVk, Finland and Pol and have alvo bad extensive dealing with the territories under Soviet con trol.. The Baltic stales of Finland, Ei thonia, Latvia and, Lithuania are ev en now attempting the negotiations of a joint trade treaty to facilitate the marketing of their commodities in Russia. Italy, too, is interested, ami a senate committee bus just been designated to consider ways and means of resuming Kussinn trade, t not diplomatic relations. The fact of tho matter is 'that, de spite Russia's financial aid hVustrbil ruin, her trade is worth anyone's ef fort. There is money to be made there, for all the risk of dealing with the Soviet. Civilization and trade are in repayable. Who knows hut that com . merce rather than political philosophy or hunger, or force, may yet redeem the land? 'O International Education If plans now being formed are coin pleted. it is likely that the United Stales will be bust to an international education conference in litt. It wit! lie held under the nuspires of the Na tional Education Association.
