E HAVE determined to maintain and can maintain, our own political independence, but our economic independence will be strengthened and increased when the economic stability of Eurojie is restored. We hope further that such a condition will be the beginning of a secure and enduring peace. Certainly it would remove many of the present sources of disagreement and miiftindcrstanding among the European nations. When this adjustment is finally made, aud lias liad sufficient time of operation to become a settled Eunqicau policy, it would lay the foundation for a further effort at disarmament in accordance with tlie theory of the Washington conference. Although that gathering was able to limit capital battleships, it had to leave the question of submarines, aircraft and land forces uusolxed. The main reason for this was the unsettled and almost threatening condition that still existed in I'mvjn?. A final adjustment for the liquidation of a new era of peace and god of reparations ought to be the will. Our past experience should warn us not to lie overconfident la the lace of so many failures, but it also justifies the hoe that something may ne done where already there has brtit some success, aud at least we ean demonstrate that we have done all that we ean. The world knows that we do not seek to rule hy force of arms; ottr strength is in our moral power. We increase the desire for jwace everywhere by being peaceful. We maintain a military force for our defense, but our offensive lies in tlie justiee of our cause. We are agaiiLt .war because it is destructive. We are for peart because it is constructive. We seek concord with all nations through mutual understanding. We Believe in treaties and covenants and international law as a permanent record for a reliable determination of action. All these are evidences of a right intention. r Hut something more than these is required to maintain the peace of world. In ita final determination it must cotne from the heart of the the people. Unless it abide there, we cauuot build for it any artificial lodging place. If the will of tlie world be evil, there is no arlilice by which we can protect the nations from evil results. t Ins.)

There is no divine assurance that America will keep ita greatness. In any community where intelligent people do not assume the responsibility of parenthood barbarism will follow in a few generations. Our intelligent young men and women have inherited all that is fine from the ages that have passed. Only through them can that inheritance be transmitted to the future. The woman who decides that she personally will not assume the responsibilities of parenthood is a traitor to the race. No amount of social service or skillful government can make up for that irreparable loss, and no indignant revolt of feminism can alter that fundamental biologic fact An education which sees the end and aim of womans education to be preparation for a calling, with the probable or necessary sacrifice of a horn and family, is far from the last word. one-fourt- Turnips, Now York Style.
