Iu a recent statement Iord Weardale declared: "The summoning of the Washington conference by President Harding, in my judgment, constituted the first genuinely constructive effort in the re-establishment of a profoundly discordant world. In the east the prospect is consequently more reassuring. Discordant interests in the Pacific have been composed and a great advance achieved in the drastic reduction of naval armaments. In the western hemisphere, however, the outlook is less favorable. " "Militarism is still lamentably apparent in certain quarters and the growth of the Napoleonic spirit in Frajace, inspired it is true, by a Roulevard press and, I ,irut not wholly shared by the French people, is most disturbing to all thoughtful observers. Until the spirit of ransom and revenge is laid to rest and higher influences are allowed to prevail, it is futile to anticipate the revival of prosperity and concord in the world. "The United States has before it an even greater work than the one already so happily accomplished. A second conference of all embracing character as sequel to that of Washington, summoned to consider the grave economic problems which now overwhelm mankind and through an association of nations as tentatively suggested by President Harding to consider the accomodation Of these differences which, while maintained, are an insurmountable obstacle to general pacification would be a new beacon of hope. I trust 1922 may see the fulfillment of that ardent and general desire."

and France will do if the proposed treaty to limit naval armaments be consummated, isn't it? What ia that you say? We shall, in turn, dictata how many battleships Japan, England and France may keep- and how many ureadnaughts they shall scrap. Oh, that's altogether different, al-to-geth-er. As for Mr. Hearst's official Pharisee was he not loudest of the clacking clackers when it was rumored that Japan aws to establish a naval rendezvous in the Gulf of California, by arrangement with Mexico? Did not the eagle screfchers screech that the United States could never permit an Asiatic power to set up a stroug-

jhcld near or on American coast.

Oh, that's altogether different, al-to-geth-er! ' The smug, holier-than-thou selfishness of Heart's demagogic' Pharisee satisfies those who accept bunk at lace value. Hearst and those who ape him have dona all they can from the beginning to bedevil to death the arms limitation conference. They will not succeed. Some day they will' find themselves slewing in their own broth.

KORE HEARST BUNK. Listen to this from Mr. Hearst's official Pharisee: ' "It appears that the Washington conference has put in treaty form a rule forbidding the United States to establish a military base at the Philippines. And there is under discussion a suggestion that the United States be forbidden to establish fortifications on the Island of Gaum, property of this country." "What do the American people think of allowing Japan, England and France, Japan especially to decide what the United States may do with its own territory?" Bunk! For that matter, what do the American people think of allowing Jajan, English and France to dictate how many battleships, cruisers or other vessel3 we shall have? For that matter, what do the American pecple think of allowing Japan, England and France to dictate as to how many $40,000,000 dreadnaughts we shall scrap? That is exactly what Japan, England.

KIPLING AMAZES US. If it be true as stated in dispatches that Kudyard Kipling has declined the Order of Merit tendered by the British government, it is a rare instance of a British subject refusing an honcr offered by favor of the crown whether it be a title of nobility or other distinction. The Order of Merit was established by King Edward VLL as an acknowledgement of pre-eminence in military or naval service, or in art, science or literature. That the membership is limited to twenty-four

jis proof of its exclusiveness. No reason is given for jthe actiuu of Kipling, which is unprecedented in this order. One is warranted in supposing that those here

tofore favored in ths respect were delighted to be thus set apart. British society is stratified and most of the people stay put where birth lands them. However, there is ambition to climb and some accomplish the feat by generous gifts to seme favorite enterprise of the

Often, doubtless, the distinction, be it little or great, is fully earned, yet rare indeed is the recept of the honor great enough to decline it. Mr. Kipling has written nruch and well yet it would not make him a better author were he to be distinguished by becoming a member of the Order of Merit. Whatever his fame be in history it must rest on what he had done with his pen, not on what the British government does to him. We suspect it is not easy to decline an honor that carries with it unusual distinction. At least few who might refuse do refuse. However, it seems to us that cne who by one's own efforts attains an eminent which warrants one in being considered as worthy of a rare distinction has not a cubit added to stature by acceptance. In refusing one shows an individuality so rare as to be a greater honor than the distinction which is declined. Of course, a 'Subordinate honor might be declined through pique because a greater one was not offered. In this case we assume that Mr. Kipling refused the tender because he did not' want it. At least it would add nothing to his ability as a writer and its through the output of hs pen that he is known.
