DISARMAMENT FAILURE As the world disarmament conference puts off until Oct ober the task of reaching some sort of agreement, Secretary of the Navy Swanson announces a plan to build the U. S, navy up close to treaty strength ; and once again it becomes painfully evident that the job of cutting down the world's military establishments is almost impossibly difficult. There are more men under arms tyday than there were in the spring of 1914. The world s annual expenditures for national defense are far higher today than they were in 1914. The suspicions, fears and jealousies which led up to the war in 1914 are duplicated today by emotions equally strong and equally dangerous. Last winter Gen. Douglas MacArthur, U. S. army chief of staff, compiled some figures on the world's armies. He showed that Europe, Japan, China and the United States are keeping a total of 6,207,538 men in uniform. To do this, and to maintain their navies, air fleets and border defenses, these nations are spending around $4,000,000,000 a year IMore the war those armies numbered 4,063,000, and the total military expenditures were about $2,500,000,000 an nually. ' - These facts in themselves are dismaying enough. But when you contrast them with the high promises all world statesmen made their people during and immediately after the war, the situation becomes even more discouraging. We were told, then, that the nations of the world would make a new effort to keep the peace. The League of Nations would help settle disputes; there would be non-aggression treaties, arbitration agreements and what-not to make war less likely; the frightful sacrifices of the World war would be justified by the fact that no such war could ever happen again. Into the Versailles treaty was written the pledge that the World war's victors would disarm just as soon as they pos sibly could. And today disarmament looks farther away than ever, armies are bigger than ever, and more gold than ever before is being laid on the altar of the god of war. What's the answer? Will we stumble blindly along until at last we trip into a worse war than the last one or will we finally insist that statesmen live up to their promises and give us the disarmament they have promised? FRANCE ON GOLD The French insisted at the London Conference that the gold standard must be maintained. They have been alarmed and put out by the policy of the American government, allow ing the value of the dollar to depreciate. The French have 'criticized the American policy and have been made, themselves, the champion of the gold standard. However, the world should not forget that France has passed through its period of inflation since the World war, that the present gold value of the franc is only about one-fourth what it was, and that this French policy then accomplished a scaling down of internal debt in France just as the deprecia tion of the dollar will do in America. ' The French cannot adopt a holier-than-thou policy, even if it is now maintaining the gold standard on the read justed basis, because it has, on the other hand, repudiated its honest obligation to the American government and refused to pay its just debts, although continuing to spend manv times as much money annually on excessive military preparation. Personally, we are anxious to see the agriculturalists of the nation get a bettor share of the national income; one thing about these agriculturalists, they pass the coin along and evcrylwdy gets a cut at it. Merchants who wish to fight mail order businesses should, at least, imitate the mail order house methods by telling the public what they have to sell. Maybe kidnaping would end if there were no ransoms paid. This might be hard on a few individuals but in the long run it would save lives.
