By Williams Crater Laite ; In W inter T û » 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. > P ctta T o e s a m ’ B eef w as been F aroners zrSf* V in t MAMV A FIRM 1M B u S i u n s S » S P U D S CRO vs /OIKJ’ HIS OC FARQ n ER O q T I What Others Say | Have Some Postmasters! 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 .......................................... 47 Farmer-Labor J— .......................
