S He treats scornfully the pro posal for freedom of the seas. He says: “Americans must remember that the seas are free to every one In_ peace times. In time of war, however, one might as well talk o t Britain will freedom of the land. I am not sure that G not have to s to the allies at the peace cor ence: ‘We shall be quite vith ich a definition of freedom of the seas as wi e British navy in the unfor tunate event of future wars to do exactly what the British American has been doing for the navy, aided by the navy, last 18 morths.’” All of which, so far as we can see, is beside the point Isn't the chief purpose of a League of Nations to provide insurance against “future wars’? If not, we have abso lutely missed our guess as to American understanding of it. The one thing that Americans will remember is that so far the great mass of the British peo as distin- guished from a few of their politicians, have not yet been heard from except in a minor and unofficial way. It i her common people that payin taxes the bill for the g fleet that maintains Britain’s blue water My slacken This “fleet bill,” added to her “king bill” and her variou impressive war bills may strike the common people as con siderable, particularly if Uncle Sam should come forth with some such statement as the following: “All right, boys. I was for the I I did the best I could. If you won't have it, why we'll just go ahead with the old competition racket. It takes cash, but I’ve got it and it’s burning my pocket; I'd like to build ague of Nations, and a few of these here dreadnoughts, too, just so’s this su- premacy thing won't get all one-sided 3 The above Uncle Sam quotation is not a figment of the imagination, either. [t was hinted pretty definite! in Washington dispatches not many days ago. As a matter of simple, downright fact, every American will recognize it as a perfectly logical and reasonable answer to an Eng- lish refusal to at least try to form some sort of league, or council, or congress of nations that will provide absolute insurance against future wars. “When Ohio goes dry, you won't even beable to bring home booze in an airplane. The Anti-Saloon league has decided to include the airplane in its list of conveyances that will be prohibited from giving old John Barleycorn a ride thru the arid regions of Ohio,” says a Cincinnati paper. Which Loves the More? The other day in Baltimore a man was put on trial in the federal court, charged with a violation of the white slave law. There was another man in court, the husband of the woman who was the government's principal witness. And, too, there was another woman in court, the wife of the aceused man. The, wike.ef the defendapt stood by him steadfastly, as testimony of the most serious nature developed, such testi- mony as,has broken up thousands of homes. “TI believe in my husband. I love him.” That was her verdict. “The love of a wife for her husband is a wonderful thing,” observed the judge. The chief witness for the state told the story of her relations with the defendant, and it was such a story as has sprinkled the land with divorce court orphans. But as she walked from the witness chair she came into the arms of her husband. He did not shrink nor scorn. “T forgive,” he said. “And, so, too, is the love of a husband for his wife a wonderful thing,” added the judge. What do you say? Is the love of a wife who clings to an erring husband as great as that of the husband who reaches down and lifts up the wife who fell? The records of our courts are filled with stories of for- giving wives, whose hearts welled high with love for hus- bands accused and convicted of wrongs, which, most of all, wronged the wives. There are few instances of husbands whose love at the moment of the wrong’s discovery, for- gives. It may be because the love of a man for his wife is not as great that of woman for her husband. that man’s love has not the same lasting qualities. And, it may be that wives do not consider a husband 's betrayal in the same serious light that the husband is prone to look | they ona deceiving wife. Do you think this is the answer? If that is true, then, obviously, the love of a husband who forgives is greater than that of a wife who forgives. If it is not true, then which is the greater love, or- Are they equally great? That is our answer! Whal's inc nome? Mo}. Sawyer, who will speak to Rotary club members Wednesday, was in charge of air- plane spruce cutting in the Olym pic peninsula.
