The American people have made it pretty evident that they expect re duced armaments, therefore reduced taxes, as a speedy result of the In ternatonal Conference at Washing ton. Nearly every senator and con gressman who has returned from a vacation "back home" reports the cry for economy and peace. Leslie's it self has voiced this cry'- The public is justified in its freely expressed de mand for tax curtailment. But here's the rub. The rules of international conference are those of a poker game. The spokesmen of each nation 'sit m with certain cards in their hands which in the final show-down determine the price that nation pays for the advantages it gains. We may all fervently wish it were otherwise, but it is not, and we must face the facts. Our strongest caret In the present instance is our undoubted ability to stand a program of competitive arma ment better than any other nation. Failure to reach an agreement for the curtailment of military expendi ure will mean a more acute calamity to the people of Great Britain and Japan than to our own. Their con cessions, therefore, should be in pro portion. But if public clamor in this country is too insistent, their spokes men can use it as a club to strike a more advantageous bargain with us. and we may be sure they will push every advantage of the sort to the utmost. It is clearly the part of patriotism., therefore, to put our fate in the hands of our spokesmen with the under standing that we want peace, but not peace at any price. Was it not Mar shal Foch who said: "Remember al wavs. the enemv is more exhausted Son-c of our "best" citizens who are N: :ng and soiling liquor today secretly, of course defend them si'vcs anient: friends on the ground that the it!i amendment is not law because it has nexer been voted on. jlf they were really intelligent men lioo i''c wuuu Know mat not one ot tne previous 17 amendments to the Con in stitution was voted on at the polls either. Rut the ISth amendment actually WAS NOTED ON. This is a coun try where the laws are made by rep resentatives who are elected by the people. The representatives in the legislatures of 45 of our 4S States ratified the ISth amendment and made it a part of the Constitution of the United States. Can anybody even faintly imagine that the legis lators of 4s of the 48 States deliber ately voted for prohibition, knowing that the majority of their constitu ent a home were not for prohibi tion? In the 43 states there were 1,511 senators (state) and 4.671 repre sentatives (state), a total of 6.182 voted on the ISth amendment. Here's how they voted: To ratify prohibition, 5.030. Against. 1.147. This is what they would have us believe: a majority of 3,883 in a to tal of 5,030 representatives and sen ators sat in their seats and voted for prohibition, thus voting in defiance of their constituents and also in de fiance of all the distillers, brewers and saloon interests in the whole land.

W ar was impending, so the dic tation was endured. Since then dictation has been threatened repeatedly, but the issues wore compromised. So successful have been the threats that the unions and a large prportion of their mem bers feel that is the one way for them to get what thev want, to humor them again, in the face of their de liberately announced intent to force the decisions of the Railway Wage Board to be disregarded, is to court I ultimate disaster. "No compromise" should be the watchword, now that it is shown that compromises are futile. The unions repeatedly have been given nearly The Plain Truth. The United States National Bank of Portland in summing up the in Juslrial situation in its Business Di gest says: While it is true that most of our basic materials can hardly be pro duced at a profit; it is also true that products produced from these ma terials are so expensive that the con sumer cannot or will not buy. Fur ther deflation is necessary. Produc tion and distribution costs must come down to a degree commensurate w ith the reduction of the cost of raw materials. Wages and transportation are two of the important factors which need revision. Wages in manv lines have been reduced as far as is practical until the cost of living drops further, but in other lines there must be a downward turn, notably in building lines and in railroading. A willingness on the part of labor off! cials to urge their men to accept work at a wage proportionate to the value of what they produce, would start a building program which would absorb the unemployed.
