PERIL OF CONSCRIPTION
" The dangerous violence now under way in China puts a
new emphasis on the old question of the limitation of arma
ments. Japan, throwing a highly-trained and exceedingly capable
conscript army into the fray, proves once more that treaties
to avert war are not of much use as long as no limits are
put on the size of the armies which the signatory nations
can maintain.
Furthermore, the chief villain in the piece seems to be
conscription compulsory military service for all young
men. The device that the French invented after the fall of
the Bastile, when the "levy en masse" appeared the only
possible way of preserving the revolution from the armies
of jealous European monarchs, has got entirely out of hand.
For militarists everywhere it provides an implement which
no treaty can fully curb.
Among the chief powers of the world, only three the
United States, Great Britain and Germany rely oh volun
teer armies in time of peace. All the rest have conscription
laws and call to the colors each year a certain number of
young men of military age.
These young men, kept in service, for one, two or three
years, constitute the standing army. When they retire to
civil life they become the trained reserve a huge body 'of
skilled soldiers, ready, for use at any moment, and vastly
more important, in numbers' and potential effect, than the
standing army itself.
For example: Japan's peace-time army strength is rated
at approximately 230,000 men. But to get an army many
times tlat large, ready for instant service, Japan needs only
call up her reserves. The job can almost be done overnight.
Consider the figures. A 3'oung Frenchman serves with
the colors for 18 months and remains in the reserve for 28
years. A young Japanese serves for two years, and remains
in reserve for 23 years. A young Italian serves for 18 months
and stays in reserve for 19 years. As long as such systems
are retained, armies cannot be materially reduced.
There is the situation that is made to order for the mili
tarist. No sabre-rattling government will be ready to listen
to reason as long as it possesses a large trained army reserve
ready for instant service. If such threats to world peace as
the present turmoil in China are to be averted, there must
be world-wide recognition of the fact that conscription ais
too dangerous an implement to be tolerated any longer.
LAVISH STATES
While private business and private citizens were paring
"expenditures to the core last year under the duress of the
depression the state governments as a whole were piling
another 230,000,000 upon their already swollen budgets
of 1930. Perhaps they had not heard that a major depression
was upon the land.
The 48 state governments spent a total of 2.290,270,059
last year, compared with $571,503,220 in 1917. The tax
oppressed who complained back in 1917 about the high cost
oi state government did not know when they were well off.
They were paying less than a fourth of the present state tax
bill and had more, business and employment and high wages.
Operation of the general departments of the 48 govern
ments' cost the people 1,890,505,636, or 11.40 per capita,
last year. To their education bills alone was added 28,811,
109. The interest on their debts amounted to 101,430,49S,
a fifth of the total cost of state government 15 years ago.
Statistics of this kind at a time like this raise two ques
tions in the mind of the average citizen and taxpayer:
What do we get for this astounding expenditure of public
funds? Can the country afford it?
None is so naive as to believe that he is getting a dollars'
worth of service for every dollar of taxes collected. Nor does
anybody think that the states, under present business con
ditions, can much longer support their governments in the
manner to which they have been accustomed.

FRANCE AND BBIANO
The Jcaleidcecoplc charapter of
French politics 1a disclosed In the
summary of the activity of tbe Ute
Aria tide Biiand. He was premier 31
times, foreign minister 16 times,
minister of the Interior four times,
minister of Justice three times, and of
education twice. He was in official
life 25 years and served in 25 cab
inets. In m&ny European countries tbe
government stands or falls with tbe
parliamentary majority. A shift In
a vote on any Important question
which leaves the government In the
minority results In the resignation
of tbe cabinet. As political lines are
far looser In France than in this
country these shifts come frequently
so a government survives only a
comparatively short period.
But French policy persists. No
matter who may bead tbe cabinet
or the foreign office there is a con
tinuity in attitude which other
countries may count on: and that
attitude will be predominantly for
France. The French cherish few illu
sions. With aU their Gallic temper
ament they are as conservative In
their political thinking as any people.
Whether monarchy or republic
France is still France.
Briand was one of tbe world's hope
fuls. He seemed to sense the need
for a reapproachment with Germany
and with other countries. His efforts
on behalf of peace seemed entirely
sincere, yet even Briand failed In the
critical moments last summer when
France's delay in responding to the
, Hoover moratorium proposal let a
, slow paralysis spread over the world.
The name of Briand is linked with
that of Kellogg to the Peace Pact of
E Paris. Tbe idea for the outlawry of
i war was original with neither. But
each had the courage to espouse It
and secure Its approval by the na
; tlons of the world,
j Briand leaves no successor In
world favor. Tardleu and LAval are
French politicians whose viewpoint
is strictly national. But the Briand
leaven is at work In France; and
some one wiU arise to take bis place
in the universal urge of peoples for
world co-operation. Oregon States-
man.
ANOTHER VIEWPOINT
As we read the dispatches coming
out of Washington, we gather the
impression that the b!g job of con
gress is to provide money enough to
support the government.
But might it not be better states
manship to reduce the expenditures?
Might not this be the biggest work
confronting the lawmakers?
At a time like this, economy should
be in tbe saddle at Washington,
economy that wiU put an end to
reckless expenditures, that will stop
the trend toward pat renal ism? Isn't
It a time for the congressmen and
senators to tell their constituents to
abandon their raids on the treasury?
Of course, the financial rehabilita
tion legislation had to come. The
government was confronted with an
unusual condition. Our national pro
duction bad so far outstripped our
capacity to absorb and sell, that our
entire economic structure was out of
Joint.
But why cannot congress pare
other expenditures?
Industry, regaining Its feet after
its severe illness, should not be bur
dened with excessive taxes Albany
Democrat -Herald.
A NEW BEGGING RACKET
The magazine Variety prints a dis
patch from Hollywood that is surely
one of the oddest of all news stories
produced by the depression. It is a
story telling how panhandlers in the
film capital have taken to hiring
women and children to act as "sup
porting cast" for beggars.
It works like this; a beggar will
engage a woman and child and wiU
take them along as he goes down
the street asking for quarters. Men
who would ordinarily give him noth
ing grow soft-hearted when they see
his supposed wife and child, and
shell out liberally. The beggar. Variety
says, can average from $10 to $14 a
day in profit, after paying his "as- j
slstant" 94 a day. j
Th chief moral to be drawn from j
this little tale Is: don't give money
to street beggars. Make your con
tribution to a regular charitable or
ganization and let it do the rest.

Chickens Strong
With Supply At
Low Point Now
PORTLAND, Mar. -16 VP) Extreme
scarcity of chickens in the local ter
ritory and strengthening of the tone
at northern points, has kept the lo
cal price not only high, but in some
instances late advance In the bids
of killers Is reflected.
Practically everything in tbe chick
en line is today being sought by
killers. The expected avalanche of
live fowls as a result of the extreme
low mark for eggs, has not material
ized to the extent that leading kill
ers believed would be shown. They
figured upon picking up hens at
whatever price they cared to offer.
The shortage in light weights has
not been due so much to the lack
of offerings, but to tbe increased de
mand for such stock because of the
low price. However, heavy bens are
really scarce and during the last day
or so showed quite fair advance in
bids as a result. Mediums are firm,
while in the spring chicken division
several raisers appear to have a mo
nopoly of current offerings.
