Washington, Nov. 14;-r-America took
leadership .Saturday in the first
movement In history for the elimina-
tion of international menaces that
threaten civilization with future war.
Reduced to simple terms, the United
States seeks:
Khwt—To prevent competition among
the great powers In the construction of
war machinery—naval, land und air.
Second—To remove sources of inter-
national friction In the l’ntlflc ocean
zone that may lend -future con-
flict. •
Itecdgnlklng the general belief that
the Far Kust Is the new danger spyt,
America ha» sought.the co-operation of.
eight other powers with vltul interests
In the Orient to alluy the (Jqiiger of a
“next world war,” '___________
1'liU Is generally regarded as the
greatest humanitarian crusade In the
hlstotrr of ulunlcma^. But it Is also a
prnctlrgj .schopie for material; rertef
from the overwhelming burden of taxa-
tion and debt. ’
Masting |* Unique in ’History.
The veteran diplomats .of Europe,
who have participated In every hupor-
taut international pnrley tor the past
half century characterized this meet-
ing as unique In world history—a
meeting called In advance of war, de-
signed t^irevent war, and a voluntary
coming together of the great nation*
to limit the size of each other's armies
and navies. *sm
The President spoke, from the head
of (he*great H-ahgpgd tubie, n'round
which sat In rapt attention the states-
men of Europe and. Asia. To the
right of him sat France and Japan,
to the left Great Britain said Italy,
and down at the fur end of the horse-
shoe were the representatives of
Chinn, Belgium and Portugal.
On either side of him Ht the head
of the table were the head of Amer-
ica's representatives. The galleries
were’ crowded with the” entire mem-
bership of house and senate, melnbers
Of the cabinet. Justices of the Supreme
court and diplomats. -‘

All of us demand liberty and Justice.
Tliere cai not he one without tha
other, ami thyy must be held the un-
questioned posse'sslqp rtf all peoples.
Inherent rights' are of God and the
tragedies of the world originate In
their attempted denial. The world to-
day.-ts Infringing their enjoyment by
arming to defend or deny, when simple
•sanity calls for their recognition
. . through common understanding.
Out of the cataclysm of the World
war cam* new fellowship* -new- con-
victions, new uHpIratlona. It Is ours
to make the most of theta. A world
staggering with debt needs Its burden
lifted. Humanity, which bus been
shocked by wanton destruction, would
nilnlinlze the agencies of that destruc-
tion. Contemplating the measureless
cost of wur and the continuing burdbn
of armament, all thoughtul peoples
wish for real limitation of armament
and would like war outlawed. In so-
berest reflection the world's hundreds
of millions who puy in peace and die
In way' wish their-statesmen to turn
the expenditures for destructlcyi Into
means of construction, aimed* at a
higher state for those who live and
follow after.

cess burdens without relief from the

PASSED BY SENATE
Excess Profits Tax andTrans-
portation Taxes Are
Repealed.«
Washington.—The much revised tax
revision bill finally was passed by the
senate Tuesday after a session lasting,
more- than-16 hour*. ------- -
The debate on the Simmons and Mo-
Kellar amendments proposing to util-
ize part of the Interest on the for-
eign debt to finance adjusted compen-
sation for the former service men -con-
sumed the first five hours of the ses-
sion Monday. Both proposals were re-
jected by decisive votes, the Simmons'
amendment 42 to 29 and the McKellar
amendment 44 to 25.
Only two republicans, LaFollette
and Norris, supported the McKeller
amendment, while two democrats,
King gnd Williams, voted against It
The vote was 38 to 23, three republi-
cans, LaFollette, Moses and -Norris,
voting against the bill, and one demo-
crat, Broussard, supporting It.
- Ab now drawn, tbe bill Is estimated
by treasury experts to yield approxi-
mately $3,280,000,000 for the fiscal
year ending next June 30, or £200,000,*

It-Is not |H>sslble to over appraise
the Importance of such a conference.
It unseemly boast, no disparage-
ment of other, nations which, though
not represented, are held In highest

Is not the conference of victors to de-

a war-wearied world, struggling for
restoration, hungering and thirsting

‘Tying for relief and craving assurance
Of lasting peace.
It lx easy to understand This wortfl-
Widc uspW8tU.il. The glory of tri-
umph, the rejtdclng In Bcbleveinent,
the love of liberty, the devotion of
ootoatry, the pangs of sorrow, the bur-
den* «f debts, the desolation of ruin—
these are appraised alike In all

All Want Less Armament
It Is not to he challenged that gov-
ernment f«(ls when the excess of Its
cost robs the people of the way to
happjiic.-s and the opportunity to
nchleve. If tbe liner sentiments were
not urging, the cold, hard factfl of Ex-
cessive costs and the eloquence of eco-
nomlrs would urge. Us to reduce our
armaments. If the concept of a better
order docs not api>enl, then let us
jsmder ,fhe burden and the blight of
continued competition.
It Is not to be denied that the world
has swung along throughout the ages
without heeding this call from the
kindlier hearts of men.’ But the same
World never before was.so tragically

tility of passion’s away when reason
and conscience and fellowship point a

Service to All Mankind.
We are met for n service to man-
kind. In all simplicity. In alt honesty
and nil fionof, there may be written
mmmm
iunds. Here In tbe Unite.1 States we
are blit freshly turned from the burial
of an unknown.. American soldier,
when a nation sorrowed 'while poy^g
him tribute. Whether it wan -spoken
or not, a hundred millions of our
people were summarising the Inexcus-
able causes, the Incalculable cost, the
unspeakable sacrifice* and the unut
leralde sorrows, and there wu* the
ever-impelling question: How can hu-
manity Justify or God forgive? Ho-
rn hute demands no such toll; sttiabl-
-
here the avowals of a world conscience
refined by the consuming fires of war,
und made more sensitive by the anx-
ious aftermath. I hope for that jinde'r-'
stan.Hwg which will emphasize the
guarantees of peace, and for commit-
ments "'to less burdens and a Jjetter
order which will trmiquillze Ihe world.
In quoh an accomplishment Mn-tv will
be added glory to yonr (tags and ours,
and the rejoicing of mankind will
make the transcendlhg music of all
succeeding time.
