FOR OPEN SESSIONS AT CONFERENCE
The great newspapers of the world will have represen
tatives at the disarmament conference in Washington. Seigo
Wat&nabe. of the Toyko Asahi. one of the biggest newspa
pers of Japan, has already arrived, and the ablest newspaper
writers of the other countries with representatives at" the
conference are on the, way.
S This will be the biggest "story" of the world.
r And there has been opened a strenuous campaign on the
part of. the newspapers to have the conference doors open.
I i They are using arguments something like these:
! i4A murderer objects to publicity. A thief does not want
reporters around while he is cracking a safe. An embezzler
is a natural foe to open sessions in his office while he is doc
toring his books Diplomats" imagine they can best serve
the; highest world ideals by operating behind closed doors.
The record is against them. The world war was the latest
an4 greatest proof that world diplomacy carried on in secret
is an absolute failure.
''Every international friendship that hangs in the balance
today; every cloud that lies heavy on the horizon of world
peace is the result of distrust that h?.3 come out of secret di
plomacy, with its : behind-closed-doors-gambling with the
rights of people and political advantage as the pawns.
( Freedom of the press as guaranteed under our constitu
tion relates entirely to the affairs of the government.
( There is no question but the people of the United States,
and the people of the world generally, want the forthcoming
conference to be open - The peoples of the world are suspi
cious of the diplomats who led the world to slaughter in 1U14.
Some of the ablest writers in the world are saying that
the conference will be successful just so far as it is trusted
by the people of the world, and there cannot be any trust ex
cept on understandingsuch understanding saimot come
irom official announcements prepared by biased minds. '

I Due to late spring frosts which destroyed the apple crop,
the annual Lawrence county apple show, famous throughout
Ohio, will not be held this year. Last year the county shipped
over 260,000 barrels of apples, but this year the entire output
yls barely 10,000 barrels. This helps to explain the excellent
niarKei ior our Oregon appfes of first quality.
(Lob' Angeles Times.)
As the date for , the opening
bession of the disarmament con
ference approaches the interna
tional situation is clarifying suf
ficiently to give an advance view
of the attitude of the different
nations. I
Great feritain hopes to obtain
an understanding which will en
able her I to reduce her present
armament expense very material
ly iind, at the same time, to be
assured that British interests in
the Far feast will not be Jeopar
dized. E j
France is likely to insist that
European problems shall be con
sidered, as well as those affecting
the Pacific area. She will a
tempt to secure International
agreements by which this country
and Great Britain will agree to
lend her armed assistance in case
Germany attempts a new invasion
bf French territory.
Japan hopes to consolidate the
victories that she ha3 won in suc
cessful wars,, to continue the ex
ploitation of Siberia and parts of
China without gunning the risk
conflict with the
of j an : armed
United States.
, Italy has no national aspira
tions to be furthered. She is not
immediately involved in the proh
lems of the Pacific area and will
occupy; a rather neutral position
when they are considered. On
questions of policy she is likely
to favor a rapprochement with
Great Britain- as her interests
,clash with those of the French
at a number of points.
Our own government seeks an
international Understanding that
will cause all questions affecting
the Pacific area to be settled by
an international court of arbitra-
ion and which will reduce to a
minimum thej armaments main
tained by Great Britain, Japan
and the United States in Pacific
waters, ; I , .
Such are the aspirations of the
governments which will be repre
sented I Each! of tbem is chiefly
concerned with the thing at hand,
with the problems of the hour.
The proverbial . short-sightednera
of governments and diplomats is
apparent, and perhaps it is not
is serious a fault as appears at
men recognize that they cannot
successfully oppose the united
force of the white nations; and
they are probably too wise to at
tempt to repeat the German ex
perience. They know the futil
ity of arming against a combina
tion of powerful nations. They
are intensely patriotic, but they
have given no evidence of sherr
foolhardiness. The Japanese com
missioners are likely to recognize
and bow to the inevitable.
Those who sincerely de&ire to
see the world turn from war to
peace are not expecting all the
vexed problems of the nations to
be settled at this conference.
They will be satisfied if there is
a mutual endeavor to substitute
justice for force, if the menace
of armed conflicts shall no long
er threaten international disputes,
if there shall .be a general dispo
sition to dispense with force as
an arbiter. The disarmament
conference is only an initial move
ment in the direction of univer
sal peace. Its deliberations will
probably be limited to the Pacific
area. But, if it is successful, it
will point the way for the nations
of Europe to compose their dif
ferences. If Mars can once be
compelled to cast away his weap
ons he will no longer appear so
-formidable .
The disarmament conference
should succeed in laying the cor
nerstone of the temple of peace.
That will be a great victory and
with that we must be content,
even though a generation passes
before the structure is completed.
A hundred generations have suc
ceeded only in clearing the
ground and assembling the work
men. Let us not insist on un
due haste, thereby rendering the
structure unstable.
We must cat our suit; according
to our clotli- Theman at the

first glance. One of the conclus
ions which Carlyle.drew from his
extended study of history was
that no group of men who believ
sd at the time of action that they
were accomplishing a formidable
: . . i 1
task, that they were reforming he
governments or the world, ever
succeeding in doing anything ct
permanent value, that they in
variably became bewildered in
maze of abstractions and only
made existing conditions worse.
As one views with the added
light of two years of experience
the result of the Versailles peace
conference one becomes irresist
ibly inclined j toward the Carlyle
riew. Hitching one's wagon to a
star is a beautiful abstraction
but experience proves that who
attempts to give it a practical ap
plication generally gets a nasty
fall
I There Is no mistaking the trend
of the times so far as the peo
pies of the nations thatvwlll par
ticipate in the conferences are
concerned. They are impelled by
a mutual desire for untversa
peace. Each people ha? grown
weary of arming ceaselessly
against its neighbors. Modern
warfare i is a horrible thing to
contemplate. It has lost its 11
lusions. It leaves even the vie
tors in almost hopeless misery
The sentiment of universal broth
erhood baa asserted itself. The
seeds sown in the Sermon on the
Mount ate bearing their harvest.
Peoples can no longer rejoice at
the blaughter of their neighbors.
This consolidation of the pop
ular will is certain to have its
cifect ort the deliberations of the

weather?"
The answer is yes. This is the
usual fall weather for the Wil

of last year were the unusual.
Salem ought to have more po-
