Peace Preparedness
o A New York pastor, preaching an armistice
anniversary sermon urged preparedness for peace
as an offset for military preparedness. - There are
posfeihilities in the thought here expressed that might
be well worth looking into. It appeals to the imag
ination of one who is getting a little tired of the
destructive consequences of war.
We seem to believe that it in necessary to day
careful plana for the eventuality.of war, that there
must be won and material always at hand to meet
a sudden emergency, that possible future campaigns
should bp carefully studied and mapped out long
in advance. JBut peaoe we leave to take care of
itself. There is no strategy for its maintenance, no
tactics designed to fit its practice.
The result is that when we have peace we don’t
know exactly what to do with i t And not knowing
what to do with it we proseoutg our peace campaigns
with much loss Intelligence than our military cam
paigns. Eventually we find ourselves periodically
with peaoe unable to stand the strain put upon it
and have to ease it by a disastrous war.
The peace moreover that immediately follows
war is always a difficult thing. Pretty nearly every
thing from neurosis to finanoial crises ih the past few
years has been traced back to post war adjust
ments. The peace following theworld war h a s been
only a Ettle lore trouWqaome than the conflict itself.
Obviously what we need is intensive training in
meeting the problems of peace and solving them
so that peaoe wlil
continuous instead, of iutermlt-
tat.

New York World—Senators Frasier and Nye,
insurgent republicans from North Dakota, were not
getting the patronage So they called on the presi
dent and put -up a squawk about it. It was a good
loud squawk that you could hear for a wile; and
when they had finisfied with it they got what they
wanted. And what * tale hangs therebyl
These two gentlemen, it will be recalled, were
recently the recipenta of sundry snubs and insults.
They dared cheer for La Follette, and so they were
“ read out of the party.’! Frasier, at the last ses
sion of congress, lost his seat on important com
mittees and failed to get an invitation t othe White
House breakfasts. Nye, when he was appointed to
serve the term of the late Senator Ladd, met a
oonoerted movement to deprive him of his seat;
when the vote was taken, all of the rock-ribbed re
publicans voted against him, and he won by only two
votes, most of his support coming from democrats.
But.now, how different is everything! The two
black sheep beard the strong, silent wan in his
den, and having bearded him come away with what
they want And the explanation is easy to find.
In the last eongress the senate lined up as follows:
Republicans . . . . . . . . ’. . . ............................. 52
Democrats
. . , . . . . . . . . . . . . » • « • • • « .,..,. 42
Farmer-Labor ......... ............................................
2
That meant a comfortable working majority,
so mutiny could be safely punished and the presi
dent could ret his face like flint against disloyalty
to the party. But in the now congress the senate
lines up as follows:
Republicans ............................................................... 48
Democrats ..........................................

Need one say more? If two of these mutinous
