Isaiah 40: 31. - . . , SUCCESS AT GENEVA? ' A survey of national armaments these days gives scant reason for- anyone to .hope that the approaching Geneva conference will he successful. Far from preparing- for arma ment reduction, the major poweis seem to be almost unani mous in their determination to increase their strength. A glance around the arena, for instance, shows such phenomena as the following: France has built a' great chain of frontier forts and has increased her army by 65,000 men. Germany .has boosted her army and navv budget from $208,000,000 to ?358,0OO,00O. . ..... Russia has increased her army by more than 100,000 men. Japane has added somewhere between 100,000 and 400,000 men to her armed forces in three years. Italy has added 43,000 men to her navy and her air force; Poland has increased her forces by 61,000 men; Poland, Bel gium and Czechoslovakia are spending huge sums on forts; England, Japan and the United States are working fast to build up their navies. .; ...... i... This certainly is not a picture of a world getting ready for a long era of peace and co-operation. The nations of .the world seem to see trouble ahead; and they., see trouble because there are in the world today in numerable situations which cry aloud for settlement Polish corridor and trade wars, disputed territory in, Manchuria and in Silesia and along the Adriatic and heaven knows where else oppressed national minorities, onerous treaties, and so on. It ought to be clear by this time that inviting the nations to disarm without first setting straight these causes of trouble is futile. The armament race is a dangerous and distressing thing, but it has certain definite and obvious causes. Before it can be stopped, there must le intelligent and far-sighted action to set the fundamentals straight.

(Continued Prom Page One) Another was that the president has consented to a summer furlough for Prank C. Walker, chairman of the national emergency council, but has asked him to return to his govern ment post In the fall. Mr. Roosevelt also said he would send a message to congress very soon relating to the controversial war debts issue. In a letter to Chairman Logan of the senate mines committee and Chairman Ray burn of the house In terstate commerce committee, the president asserted that Illegal pro duction of oil is threatening the structure of the newly organized oil production control system. President Roosevelt expects the NRA to evolve through constant changes, but he Is giving no public consideration to the Darrow report condemning alleged monopolistic practices under tlie program. The president will stand by the Blue Eagle of NRA for the second year of its emergency flight, -and has told In- quircrs he Is keeping an open mind on Just how far the government should go a year hence In seeking a permanent arrangement between the government. Industry and labor. He plans to survey the results in his tour across the country this summer. The opposition faction on Capitol Hill, however, showed no signs today of relaxing Its criticism. - i NEW YORK, May 23 (- Tha stock market found little in the news of a bullish character today and ' prices drifted to further lower kvels in ex ceptionally' dull trading'.
