No accomplishment of magnitude but what has its imperfections and occasions d. appointment Since the signing of the histor! pact that ended the most destructive of all struggles, there never has be:n a moment’s cessation of the rattling of scabbards and the unsheating of swords, | and economic depression, which at first was felt in only a few places, at last has spread to all parts; of the globe. | The World War was not futile in lasting good | to race. The struggle brought the realization Lhat‘ in this age of rapid transit, quick communication and expanded commerce resort to arms by any | nation imperils the peace of all. Since the great conflict, statesmen of the leading powers, with a dilig:nce hitherto unknown in history, have con- | cerned themselves with devising means of prevent- ing hostilities, and in the event of their occurrence | of limiting their boundaries. The titanic combat | created a strong and widespread sentiment against recourse to force in the attempted settlement of| international disputes, and, while this sentiment has not controlled in some instances, it has dom- inated in many and u]umntelv it is mors erly than not to be the guiding influence in all. The World War again has emphasized that no permanent economic benefits can accrue from armed conflict. From the victor as well as from the vanquished heavy toll is exacted, for prosperity, like peace, is dependent on international conditions. The hope for an end of all war may never be fulfilled. But the laudable desire has won rather than lost in the last 13 years. It never was closer to approximate realization than on this anniversary of the Armistice. Thirteen years ago, from preserve JOIN THE RED CROSS. Today signalized the opening of the Annual American Red Cross Roll Call, the fiftieth year in its history. Workers have been assigned to every community in the Juneau Chapter of the society and it is to be presumed they will extend to every individual in its ju iction an opportunity to be- come a member. It is an opportunity that every- one should welcome. It is indeed a privilege to be associated with the Red Cross and to make it possible for it to continue its great work that has caused it to bz known throughtout the world as America’s answer to humanity’s ills. It is a great organization in every sense of the word. It is great because of the character of the service it renders. It is great in scope of action and in the spread and numbers of its membership. Juneau Chapter is one of 3,603 similar branches in the United States and insular possessions which with their branches touch almost 15,000 communi- ties. Last y2ar these chapters enrolled 4,075,649 members. Membership in the Junior Red Cross to- talled 7,106,268. All of these might be termed stock- holders in the world's greatest corporation—one whose dividends are declared not in money but in goodwill from all men and every nation because cf its beneficent deeds. Last year's relief work by the society was the heaviest since the World War. It required the largest expenditures of funds since that time.

Some skeptical and not overfriendly forecasts of the Hoover-Laval parley had it that only a mouse would bz born from the mountain. Its conclusion| was followed in Paris by partisan comment that only a “tourist trip” for Laval was the net result. The international markets were seemingly dis- appointed at the outcome. No sweeping, concrete program for world amelioration emerged, like Min- erva from the brow of Jove. The joint statement| chiefly confined itself to suggesting cml} Eur cymnn\l initiative under the Young Plan for “some agree-| ment” as to inter-governmental debts covering thew depression period and to stressing the joint aim of “monetary stability,” on the gold standard in France and here, as the major influence to world economic revival. Yet is that so very small a Each of thosz objectives is pretty big in itse}f.‘ articularly in its implications and in its relations {0 today's international problems. Pledge of mutual effort for protection of gold holdings and stability of exchanges may mean only putting the states- men’s seal on the previous endeavor of banker: but it means a determined co-operative effort by |the two powers that are so much the strongest in thase respects. The language as to debts is a plain invitation to Germany to make the necessary appeal for re- lief soon enough before the end of the holiday year o that a confirence for reparations revision may be summoned. Then will inevitably follow an in- terrelated Allied plea for corresponding war debt relief. Then will ensue another “capacity to pay”| commission hers. Those intertwined steps are all, clearly visible. And calling such an initial confer- ence might well lead to hroader efforts.—as through the World Bank—than mere reparations revision. Beyond that the two conferees did not go; and their excluding many other thorny topics—whatever Mr. Borah would have ventured,—was wise in itself. Th:y have marked out an adequate allotment of contribution or sacrifice by their respective coun- tries. Beyond that they couldn’'t make commitments that would bind. as much speed as possible, however may seem to impatient markets. There is another intangible gain in this face- to-face diplomacy. Its imprint may show later. Such contact gives a new meaning to every smile or frown, nod or shrug, glance or inflection, which even radio—or television of the future—could not catch. slow results The Gentleman from Indiana. (New York Herald Tribune.) Hitting a man when he can't hit back seems to be a popular sport with Represzntative Will R. Wood, of Indiana. With statesmanlike restraint he accuses naval officers of circulating “pure damned lies” to arouse public sentiment against the propesals to cut the Navy. Trying as this must be for our naval officers, who have been officially gagged by thc Administration, they may console themselves with the thought that such intemperate abuse is in no sense a reflection on them, however revealing a light it throws on the man who uttered it. It is beyond our powers to say what it is that ails Representative Wood; but mention can be made of some of the facts which prompted his use of these tactics. When the naval cuts were announced s2ts of facts were made public no one of which has to this day been questioned. These facts revealed the low state of the Navy and showed that at the present rate of neglect we would be in third place in another year. These facts, ti may be added, were compiled and issued by civilians. With his masterly clarity, Representative Wood has interpreted these facts issued by civilians as “pure damned lies” issued by naval officers. One wonders how such confusion is possible. Was it due to genuin: lack of intelligence? Was it due to a deliberate desire to confuse and mislead the pub- lic? Did he want to slander the Navy or did he know that by attacking naval officers he was strik- ing a defenseless group, whereas by attacking the responsible civilians he was incurring a deservedly shattering reply? bursements promise to be as large as for the year Just ending. At one time, during February of this| year, the Red Cross was giving drought ssslstance!c""sses which the Republican Party has to bear is alone to 2,071,000 persons, and branch of its activities. It needs all possible from memberships. Juneau, in fact every Alaskan community, has| always been in the forefront of the society’s lme" of support. It will not do less this year than in| the past, and it can afford to and probably will do more.
