This dues not ncan that any real harm ,.s di re by t.'ie conference. On t:;e cMntrry, all such gutiirrinps. and this one in particular, have decidedly beneficial eHocts. Ti:e rows that come to light and make the newspaper headlines do not originate, save in rare instances, at the conferences. They were there before, and were potential sources for real trouble. Fanning them up by a few agitators seeking to cause embarrassment to this or that country actually contributes to the cause of peace, and assuredly tends toward better understanding. It is all of a piece with the British idea about Hyde park, where agitators can argue for almost anything they please. It serves to blow off steam. In the case of this and other conferences it forces open consideration of issues, which were tending to become festering sores. It forces presentation of the other side of any particular controversy. It brings about a different public reaction putting the observer more or less in the position ol a judge where there might have been danger that he would become a crusading fanatic. In fact, it is a good thing for even the everybody involved would-brevolutionary if his cause has suir.cient merit. But the underlying hopes for this particular conference had much broader scope. The recent conference was not inspired by any mere desire to preserve peace in America. There was not much danger of any nation in the Western hemisphere being dragged into the European mess, anyhow. The hopes were two, both aimed at Europe. Would Set Example One was by example. It was thought that if the peoples of Europe observed this conference how all the aims and aspirations of rival nations could be settled around a council board and how the twenty-on- e nations over here bound them-- j selves not to get in any war there would be an irresistible impulse in Europe to go and do likewise. It was thought this would prove a powerful deterrent to war across the sea. Now it is true that some enthusiasts will trace the oder to return some of the German colonies to this example, but the plain fact seems to be, if one may pay any attention to the news from Europe, that the conference at Buenos Aires was simply disregarded in all the European capitals. It was overshadowed in news interest by the Edward-Mrs- . Simpson affair, but it did not even play second role to that, with all sorts of European gestures occupying what attention could be diverted fiom this problem of British royalty. The other objective of the Buenos Aires conference was to get the nations of America to agree upon a neutrality policy, with a dim hope that they might even agree to stop trading with any nation that went to war. Diplomats of all the countries involved have been telling their friends privately, since the objective became clear, that this was absolutely hopeless. Furthermore, that it would not amount to anything if obtained, as the first nation to see a chance to make a dollar by violating it would do so. The fact remains that this was the hope, and that it, like the hope for the good example, has been dashed. Some Not Happy Two comparatively small groups of New Dealers are not so happy as their colleagues over developments. It is no secret in inside Washington circles that two of this minority are no other than Justice Louis D. Brandeis and Professor Felix Frankfuter. Both agree in wanting to help the under dog, and in being against bigness not only in corporations, but in certain other things, including even labor unions. Then there is concern on the part of some of the worried group over the con: 0 n rr -- vfti, ' It I fniiin hi Emilio Kleber, commander of the l.nahst proc auneu emperor oi India. the seventy-fiftcongress. ?J ich George w of ;fent opening dofendinR Madnd.

As far as the consumer is concerned the diflieulty is very clear. All these wage boosts and hour decreases in industry mean that the consumer will be paying more for everything he buys. None of it. worth mentioning, is coming out of the pockets of the "economic royalists." In most cases, prices will be advanced. In some others, prices will not be advanced because of cheapening production, but the wage boosts and hour decreases havt tht same effect on the buyer, for they prevent what would otherwise have been price reductions. Now the view of a minority in the New Deal is that it would be much better for all the people if, instead of wages advances, the corporations granting them should make price reductions. Naturally, if the price cf a great many things is reduced, that is an increase in real wages. The same amount cf dollars would buy more. Price Reductions So far, some of this minority have pointed out to the writer, it would seem as though it did not make much u. .'Terence which method were applied. Bat it does. It makes every diilcience in the world as far as "passing prosperity around"' is con- cerned. Price reductions, they point out, cheapen the cost if living for every one. They benefit the unorganized laborers as much as the organized, or almost as much. They tend to equalize conditions, and to bring everybody up together. Furthermore, they tend to boost exports and increase international trade, highly esteemed by still another part of this dissatisfied grup as tending toward the prevention of war, as well as for general prosperity. under the trend of Obviously, wage advances and hour curtailments now going forward so rapidly, what really amounts to a small fraction of American labor benefits out of all proportion to the rest. In fact, the living condition of the remainder is slightly reduced thereby, due to the higher prices its members have to pay for every- thing they buy. A glance over any list of pay-roboosts as printed in the newspapers, members of this minority complain to the writer, shows that people are those being most benefited which need it least of all the groups ll workers. There is no such feeling on the part of this minority with respect to hour cuts, though they admit that the general effect here is the same. But, they contend, reductions in working hours have a tremendously beneficial efTect in the long pull that boosts in wages do not have. They tend to reduce the number of hours all employees work, and this improvement tends toward permanence. In fact, there is seldom a backward step on this road. Also, they provide more employment in the industries affected. Whereas wages are important only in buying power, not in the number of dollars involved. of Army Officers Worry High army officers are tremen- dously concerned over the prospect that congress may provide that all munitions shall be manufactured from now on by the government. They fear two phases of legislation one that would prohibit the export of arms and munitions at any time, and the other that the government make all its own. The immediate result, they point out when they dare speak above a whisper, would simply be to close down munitions works now operating in this country since the privately-owplants would then have no possible markets. The army tried last summer to make its case for there is very little disagreement among high ranking officers of either service. But both the army and navy realize that the public is not much interested in their recommendations. They realize also, as demonpoll last strated by a nation-widEpring, that the country is very heavily in favor of the government's making all its own munitions. is very simThe explanation ple the public has been educated for years now to believe that many wars are encouraged by munition makers anxious for business. Hence to "take the profit out of war" in the public's mind might be the most satisfactory and effective method ever devised of preventing wars. Army and navy officers are the first to admit that munition makers like to sell munitions, and that they like to make a profit on them. But they are much more concerned about some of the possibilities on the other side of the picture possibilities which the public does not consider at all, practically, but which may i can a great deal to the national defense of this country should it be forced into a war. As They See It The officers would change the preceding sentence to read, "when this country is forced into a war," for they have no doubt whatever that sooner or later this country, regardless of any pacifist legislation which may be passed meantime, will engage in another war. To them it is just a question of time. In fact, most officers in the services think that proposed steps taken with a view to maintaining peace are more calculated to get the United States into a war at some time in the future, than to keep us out. Here is their theory in a nutshell. If there are no private munitions makers in the United States, the demand for arms from other parts in the world will result in huge munitions plants being set up somewhere else, quite likely especially in the navy view--iJapan. From that day on the country in which the munitions plants arc located will be better equipped for war thar before, in that it will have these plants which can instantly be commandeered if that country snould become involved in a war. ned e C Bell Syndicate WNU Seivic.
