and ne.ntinte a separate peace with
Seqor Kanionn.
i fire ernck-ers As :i result the audience for several weeks has been
I bored, and people are filing out, figuratively speaking and calling it
a poor show.
Dramatieally this is true, but the surprising thing is so few people
M'ein eapable of discriminating betveen what is poor theatrically and
what is not. poor, politically. Now if the identical elements of the
present situation had been differently arranged, if the palaver had
culm) first, the Hughes naval program and I'aoific agreement last,
(here would be wild enthusiasm today over the performance, and some
perfectly sane observers would be comparing December, 1921, with
the date of the Magna Charta and the Sermon on the Mount.
For as a matter of fact, a tremendous epoch making thing has been
clone. Tho first real step toward world disarmament, in human his
tory, has actually been taken. There has been talk before, but only
talk. Here we have the world powers agreeing fo throw away bat
tleships worth a billion and declare a naval holiday, which will save
tho people of the nations concerned, at least eight or ten billion more.
It isn't the money so, much, stupendous as the sum really is. It's
the spirit behind the action. For in spite of the superficial differ
ences, behind. everything is a genuine will for peace, a universal de
sire to stop this militant madness and get back to the ways of sanity
again.
This loesn! lncnn the milhiimim of course it iloesn 'I. mean the
lend of all war, but it docs mean the first tangible constructive move
ment, toward peace on earth, good will to man, since Adam sallied
forth from Eden.
In other words, after two thousand years, the march .toward world
pence has actually begun. The march may bo a long and wearisome
one, it mav at times be a retreat, but it lias started.
There is the big fact, the truly tremendous fact, that, today lies
solidly behind tho AVashiuglon conference. Few people appear to
realize it. A number of the auditors have left the hall and other are
snoring in their seals.
The trouble has not been with the statesmen at Washington, how
ever, but with the stage managers. They have been guilty of the
unpardonable drama! ie sin, a sin necessitated no doubt by political
circumstances, of putting tho llig Scene first.

TUK winter days are colder than any days should be; in one
week I grow older than I should grow in three: oh, sorrow
.seems my potion, I'm full of sad emotion while rubbing Jimpson's

young and stalwart, no blemish did I own, except a rather small
wart fcrninsl my collarbone; but youthful years go flying, and
now you see me sighing, consuming pills ami trying to can the

while taking Johnson's Mixture of Tar and Castor lie; I'm old
and tired and gloomy, my eyes are weak and rheumy, and phar
