OUR NEW .FAITH
WHAT OK T1I13 FUTURE?
'pnB JJnlted States government Is
' pursuing a tremendous naval
building program, costing millions of
dollars. The program contemplates
for the most part dreadnaughts.
Since the war there has been
lengthy controversy as to the status
In future naval warfare of the dread
naught. .There is question as to
whether the speedy battle cruiser
- "'ill ' render the dreadnaught Impo
tent; what effect the advent of.sab
i urines and super-submarines Is to
have on the reign of the capital ship;
what effect the developed airplane ta
to have, and whether the new modes
of naval war and new' devices may
not render the dreadnaught obsolete.
Even naval experts do not agree that
the present capital ship is to control
the sea a few years hence or is even
to play a major part in naval opera
tions. "
The first lord of the British ad
miralty, in a statement explanatory
of the naval estimates for this year,
declared that, "in our' opinion, the
capital ship remains the unit on
which sea power 14 built up.' but
added that "it is even possible that
the present battleship will change
to one of submarine type or even of a
flying type."
'Admiral Sir Percy Scott, conceded
YOU got a new baptism yesterday.
When, at noon, you, heard the
buglers, saw traffic become motion
less and saw the people on the streets
stop still and tand with bared heads
in tribute to the things that Armis
tice day means, you knew, after all,
that all won in the war is not lost.
You couldn't contemplate that sud
den silence, that abrupt paralysis of
all motion, that manifest devo
tion, universal. wKh the bugle notes
over all, without renewed faith in
the purpose of the republic.
Though it was zero hour in the
busy news room of The Journal,
where dozens of writers and editors
were in the climax of making a news
paper for the day, the men, without
preconcerted signal or understanding
or suggestion, arose to their feet and
stood in reverent silence, full of
thought for the meaning of the pass
ing hour and its weighty portent. It
was doubtless the same in all the
great hives of business and Industry.
And when the great military pa
rade, carrying the emblems of what
the war meant and what the war did,
swept through , the streets with the
plaudits of the thousands upon thou
sands of onlookers, many a time the
deep emotions stirred within you
struggled to be expressed. The
strains of musio stirred yon. The
disabled, veterans, not drooping but
Joyous, won your admiration. The
erect young marohing men, with
quick step and many a gleaming
medal for bravery at the front,
aroused you. The white-haired vet
erans of another war; the nurses,
with their record of relief and serv
ice "over there"; the Salvation
Army; the Multnomah club, with
more than a thousand stars on its
flag, and all the other splendid units,
reflecting service and sacrifice, re-
baptized you in faith and hope of
things yet to be.
And at The Auditorium, where the
spirit of the occasion climaxed in
music, plaudits and patriotic ad
dresses, you saw again the bloody
panorama over there; saw political
autocracy fall to Its doom; saw man-
Wind astir with new plans and new
objectives; saw, indeed, a world that,
after all the discouragements and
after all the present distresses and
complexities, seems determined to
be reclaimed from passion and hate
and bankruptcy and error and the
many incompetencies of man.
It was a day symbolic of what
Armistice day is yet to be; a day to
e rank with that other day, when

there was proclaimed the great doc

evidence that dry agents reported aa
having committed suicide were in
fact murdered,,
Verdicts of suicide in eases of en
forcement officers found dead have
been rendered in instances when they
were found shot or hanged. McCor
mick says there is reason to believe
the men have been the victims of
carefully laid plans of a murder ring.
Lamentable as it may be," people of
prominence as well as people of no
prominence patronize bootlegger&
An Oregon sheriff tried to get evi
dence against a bootlegger known to
be guilty, and was told by prominent
citizens to whom he applied: "You
will not .get information from me;
he's my bootlegger, and I don't want
him punished."
One of the greatest dangers now
confronting the republic is the possl
bliity that millions may lose their
vision of the sanctity and majesty of
the law. Life, liberty' and the pursuit
of happiness, won for us by the Rev
olutlonary fathers, are secured to us
by the constitution and the laws.
Only so long aa law and constituted
authority are held in reverent regard
by all are our free institutions secure,
Whatever forces are at work in
this country to lessen the dignity of
the law, or to undermine authority
conferred by. the law, strike at the
very heart of. the nation. We can
not allow open violation of any spe
cific law without abetting the spirit
-of anarchy, which eventually would
hold all law in contempt. Every citi
zen who countenances the evasion of
any law is helping his country to drift
toward anarchy and lawlessness.

ONE of the marked features of the
interchange between members of
the Japanese business mission and
their Portland hosts last week was
the" intimate familiarity evinced by
the visitors with our port facilities
and the corresponding Inability of
Portlanders to speak with informa
tion as to the business conditions
and opportunities of Japan.
They knew the channel depth, the
size of the appropriation for terminal
facilities and the volume of Columbia
4jriver commerce. "It was a Japanese,
the resident manager of Mitsui &
Co., who called attention to the fact
that Portland is handling three
quarters of the Northwest's grain ex
ports and half the lumber exports.
Further, that .Japan has bought since
last spring 200,000 tons of wheat and
flour handled through this port and
nearly 170.000,000 feet of lumber.
The visitors learned through the
words of the same Japanese that
the value of outbound cargo from
this port during the past year equals
that of Seattle and Tacoma together,
that Portland shows commerce gains
in the fac9 of losses by other ports,
that we have the regular service of
three or four lines to the Orient, In
addition to tramp steamer service,
and that 70 ocean-going steamers
Lreached Portland during August.
Aa a youth in Japan, the Mitsui
manager bad learned the name
"Meriken Ko" for flour from this
country. In college he acquired the
impression that it came from Min
neapolis, but in trade he learned that
Portland was the port. of export for
"Meriken Ko.". In the same way
he learned that "Beimatsu" is
Douglas fir from the Colombia river.
He added: . .
Trade is the barter of commodities
required by one another, and It leads
one to acquaint himself with others, and
u really la also the trade of civilization
for the benefit ef mankind. It is
matter of fact that much more can be
learned by being in close touch with
the people interested in such things and
oy seeing lor ones self the places be
tween which such, trade takes place.
It Is not to be wondered that the
Japanese, with such grasp of prin
ciple and detail, are occupying an ex
panding area In the world's trade
field.

"Propaganda against propaganda"
may be a bit difficult for the lay mind
to grasp but such homeopathic treat
ment, self -administered,' Is evidently
what the "fourth- estate" purposes to
cure . a disease contracted during- the
war. The Journalist in the White House'
recently made a plea for the eradication
of the "propaganda habit" to the jour
nalist or tne world assembled at Hono
lulu, and he has made an impression.
President Harding,' "t u r n e d lexi
cographer." as the New York Times (Ind.
Dem.j Put it, defines "propaganda" and
vducation" in such a way as to make
them s diametrically opposite." The
former, he says, "aims primarily at shut
ting up the mind against other conclu
sions than those which the pronaeand-
lsti design to Implant," while the latter
"aims to open the mind and to. urge it
to formulate its Own conclueioijs." And.
the Times continues. "It is a discerning
sense of these definitions which have
not yet come iito the dictionaries, that
the press of a democracy must have,
and perpetually hold against all tempta
tions, if it is to deserve the president's
conclusion that, in the work of educa
tion, "no single force Or influence of
which we now know can be expected to
exert so great a potency as the press'.'
.
In no public utterance, 'declares the
Brooklyn Eagle (Ind. Dem.) "has the
Ohio statesman got closer to the truth
on a topic deeply interesting all the civ
ilized nations. For Great Britain, for
France, - for Italy, ' and particularly for
Germany, the opening of men's minds
la a cardinal , desideratum today, and
everywhere the press must do its part in
accomplishing this task" The Knoxville
Sentinel (Ind. Dem.) believes "the presi
dent is within the bounds of accuracy
when he says that propaganda has be
come a 'habit,' and it observes that "a
habit is a hard thing to cure," but- "if
President Harding can change the na
ture and discourage the practice as man
ifested to date he will deserve the grati
tude of his fellowmen." So extensive,
Indeed, has the habit become that the
Indianapolis News (Ind.) finds "people
who see propaganda In everything that
is written that seems to 'lean to opin
ions of which they disapprove."
...
If this practice has become "almost a
code among journalists," it is a product
of the war, and as. such, the journalists
themselves agree, It must be abolished
with all the rest of the war-time
measures. "It served its purpose and
served.it well at a time when all minds
were concentrated upon a single purpose,
and that purpose a matter of life and
death," but now, the Denver Times
Ind.) declares, "it 'is time to be done
with propaganda," because the habit con
tracted during the war "has since-been
employed by all and sundry for less
worthy objects." Editors "are becoming
skeptical again," the Times believes, and
they "will welcome President Harding's
cry for removing the -embargo on in
dividual thought, for removing . the fet
ters upon original ideas, for discarding
mental pabulum of the canned variety,
and it is to be hailed as "a sign of im
provement" when "the press protests
against having somebody else's conclu
sions rammed down its throat and when
it, in turn, declines to ram its own con
elusions down the throats of others,"

"Newspapers are becoming weary of
pubiiamng propaganda." tha Birming
ham Age Herald (Ind. Dm.) agrees, and
furthermore," the New "York Tribune
(Rep.) remarks, they "do not flourish
in an atmosphere of news distortion.'
A great majority of readers, the paper
continues, "however willing to be non-
veracious personally, object to being lied
to themselves. So selfishness, a desire
to get circulation, checks falsification
hence the aversion of normal newspaper
offices to propaganda, to censorship and
the like." President Harding has
'shown that sound statesmanship is
compatible with sound newspapering."
and the Tribune suggests that he go even
farther and include consideration of
action limiting propaganda to the "peace
measures" which the Washington confer
ence will discuss, because "among the
needs of the world is untrammeled and
undirected information of what other
natrons think"
a a
The president suggests, and a number
of writers emphasize, the definite danger
mat lies in the continuation of the
"propaganda habit" in connection with
the armament conference. In which, as
the Minneapolis Journal (Ind. Ben.)
says, "the press will play its part for
good or 111.- "Public opinion should re
main calmly poised and Judicial in this
country the next few months," says the
Journal, and it will be within the power
of the press to "make or ruin." - By
"prejudice, appeal to passion, suppres
sion or coloring of the news," the press
would "negative the best efforts of the
conference;" while merely as "a dis
tributor of the news and a guide to nub-
ue opinion, in may do much to further
the cause of' peace In the world. The
Ban Antorio Light (Ind.) warns that
"any newspaper indulging in publication
of distorted news while this conference
is being held will lay .itself open to
suspicion of foreign control." because
"no American newspaper worthy of the
name would add to an already pre
carious world-wide situation by accept
ing the propaganda of intriguers, arma
ment makers, shipbuilders or foreign In
fluences.-
a a a
But "open-mlndedness" In relation to
the conference, the Philadelphia Bailo
ut- (Ind. Rep.) points out. means just
mat, ana in tne elimination of propa
ganda there are other considerations
than "outside influences. While "it la
easy to recognize the point that anti

Delegates Must Face. '
Portland. Nov. 11. To the Editor of
The Journal rColonel Harvey, our am
bassador to -Great Britain, Is again, the
object of severe criticism, and especially
by his 'Republican literary associates.
Harvey has very bluntly told the world

States would enter no league to preserve
peace, or Into anything that looked like
a I league. Harvey still holds his job.
Notwithstanding his speech Is opposed in
thought and sentiment to the Yorktown
speech of . President Harding, he con
tinues to be the mouthpiece of America
as its ambassador to the foremost nation
of the old world.
One might be bewildered, if 'it were
not that politics is the dominant factor
behind the scenes. For more than two
years national as well as international
welfare has been sacrificed for politics.
For men have been willing lo sacrifice
the best interests f thia country and to
continue world chaos. They, are still
doing it However, it Is some satisfac
tion to know that very soon they will
have to answer the question, "Are you
willing that the Monroe doctrine shall
become an International policy as well
as a national policy? Are you willing to
join other nations in announcing that
any attempt by one nation to gain a
foothold In any other nation Shall be
deemed an unfriendly act?" If they are
not willing to do this, how do they ex
pect France and other nations to agree
to limit armaments?
The game of politics is still being
played, but a showdown is coming very
soon. B. F. Wilson.
