There Is much IiIkIi powered dlplo
matlc talk about China and tho Chi
nese and how they are going to he
hiivfid. A Chiuamiin has no gumption
unlosH it concern. u Hhirt in the laun
dry, or a tons war. 480.000,000 Chinks
lot 90,000,000 Japs cuff 'oin around,
mid holler for the rest of the world for
help. One fierce grunt on masse
would solve the Kar 'Kast problem.
The 7 days commencing tomorrow
have been officially designated as
Hoine Brewing week.
EX KOL'TE WASHINGTON, Nov.
All the way from Snn Franc-two,
the talk in the smoking room nan
li(ivii'd around the arniaimnt purify.
The croii oui look, luck of rain and
nmiv, litisiiifKH conditions and th'
Usual druiiiiii'M 's Htorirn Ifave bad at
tention, hut the arms purify has been
; uppermost.
Tins is a Hif,'nifir:int thing for r
transcontinental train In a living rroHh
Hf'Otiou of th land, and it iniore.st is
liouml to be t tit count i y's inU'inst.
There ean Ik no doubt, therefore, that
tliis eonferenee in Wustilnuton iiccu
pieK t he pnblie interent from t he
fiolden ndtf to Sandy Hook. the
people are talking about It, thinking
about it, and wondering what it wilt
really amount to, after all.
Early (hit; morning a couple of citi
zens boarded the train at I'Inc liluff,
Nebrawka. They looked like typical
country town merchant, well fed,
good natured. and apparently pros
perous, In spite of the low price of
corn. They wasted no time In pre
limluarlcH. but grabbed copies of thin
morning"t Denver I'ost, lighted cigars
and proceeded to devour the highly
colored contents.
"Well, what do you think aliout It
anyway (.'hurley?" ons of them asked
putting down his paper and regard1 --
ing Die tip of his rignr, "think they re
goin to do anything?"
"Looks like this man Hutches give
'em Homethfng to talk about," said
('ha rley.
"Hut how about thin Jap dope. Hay
they'll be good if we'll give 'em a
free hand in Siberia and those coun
tries around there. That sounds like
the oid bunk."
"Weil, I don't know much about U,
but It looks like if the Japs scrap
their fleet as we ask. and give up
their treaty with England us we ask.
that we'll have to do something they
ask. It's all a game of bluff and bac k
Hcratchin'. If we do this, then you
must, do that. And tho .laps are there
on that sort of game. They'll beat us
In the end."
"I don't know about that. It lirnlcs
to me ns though the Japs were in for
a trimmlu' with this man Hughes on
one side and I-loyd, George on the
other."
"Perhaps so. but If you'get tho best
of "em then you'll have to fiht 'em.
1 tell you Ijury, it look thin way
why not let the Japs run tilings ovi-r
'there and let us run things over here,
and then keep nut of all this foreign
! business. We ain't Koin' to, finht
jjapan for a lot of piK-tailed laundry
!nien over in China, wo why pretend
'we are. And Japan ain't goin' to
ifiKht us if .she can help It. I say let's
everybody agree to mind his own
.'business, ami we'll be belter off."
I "I'erhaps so. only there's a lot of
! trade over there and t his open door
you hear so much about."
j "I suppose so. I. ut there's more
j trade riKlit here if we only stop this
army and navy business ami get down
.to a ten-hour day aain."
j "You're right there Charley, but
! these big guys don't seem to see it
'that way. Anyway this plan Hughes
popped over can't he lost in the shuf-
tle entirely, -i no people are waxeu up
!to H. If they try any funny business,
ahd don't start Hcrappln' fleets, the
people will want to know who spilled
the beans and they'll come pretty
near finding out."
"I guess so. Hut It's as this man
Hrisbaue says. Cutting down arma
ments don't mean the end of war
any more than putting boxing glove
over bare knuckles means the end of
prize fighting. 1 suppose there will
always be more vr less fighting, but
If we can cut down the expense, why
;no much the better.
"Hut the trouble is with them Japs
lean you trust 'em. We say we wid
jdo this all right, but how do we know
it he Japs will do what they say. 1 te.'I
you I don't trust 'em."
1 "Neither do I. Well, there's the
j first call for breakfast. Let's go in
and eat.''
j And they did.
I have an id'a this dialogue fairly
represents the general mental attltudi
' of a majority of the people of the
! middle west . a ge n e ra 1 hope f o r
j good out of the conference, hut a
'sccptium that up to the present tlire
'rather overshadows it.
