Those Who have tho right kind of talent and ability have lucrative avenues of promotion openi t'tfleWither'thlngs being equal, tfie itmitw woman'wlth'j education is most likely to be Dromoted.'' .M 2 If they really believe that, it 'seems a little inconsistent olnd even short-sighted; to urge ' specialized salesmanship1! courses in schools which ought to be giving a lilieral educa tion. Anyone with "tho right kind of talent" can be taught .the specialized elements of salesmanship in n brief, concen trated course after ho or she has finished a sound, but broad, education without such specialization. If all the .trades and professions are to be taught in the public schools there will be little time left for fundamental education and culture.

The instructions to the French' delegates show .that tho ' reduction business $s far from' sjmpic. ' .- -.. ,. . . - j; The-French government lays down -'those;, main piinci-: pjes: Thttfcr"counliics with troublesome neighboi's must bo allowed "larger armed forces than those with quiet neigh bors; that the power to arm rapidly possessed fiV indus trial nations serves 'as substitute for largo standing ar mies; that economic power and military., power by land, sea and air all must be considered. ; 4 This moans evidently that Franco's Euronean allies, be. ing regnrded as not "troublesome" and not industrial, should bp allowed to maintain larger armies than Russia, Germany ana oincr neigliliois. Also that Germany, Great Drilain and the United Stales, being so largely industrial, may not require so much armament as Fiance and her particular European friends. i There is something to this argument, unquestionably. But how far the principles may be pushed is open- to dc- oaie. r ranee is preparing to argue for a continuation of her own military supremacy on land and in tho air.
