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.
