Sffhnma just now It is the belief of
this paper that so lom: us (be par-
ty is lorn by factional strife there
.*li be no hope of suecess. The iacl
i but Oklahoma went republican in
Ih last election is noi an assutauc
that ;he people will repeat the p-r
[nrmauce.
Now (hat the parly leaders have
i..ilen together uml huriiiouy pre

t'-ah time that the rank and Ule of
the parly follow suit and woik lo
gather. It Is Imperative that this he

The appointment of Secretary of
H.’atc Hughes. Senator Lodge, Sens
lor Coder* ood and Eilhit Hoot to re
pteieni the I’nit-d States ut the coin
.nu disarmament conference places
our national Interests In the hands
of able and experienced men.
They are not men who cult be Muff
• d. cajoled or hoodwinked.
They are not mtn who will ex-
change something for nothing, nor
will they expert it of others.
We believe them to be men w ho
will go into the conference with open
minds, clear consciences, and two
great objects in view the limitation
of armaments and the settlement of
th- far eastern question on an equi-
table basis that is fair and just to
all nations and to all peoples
If the delegates from other coun-
tries come to us In the same spirit
there is hope that some good may
result from the conference. Rut if
the' come as they went to I’aris. w ith
the seem determination to wrest
every possible advantage for their
own governments rerardles* of the
rights of others, then the conference
la foredoomed to failure and the only
thing left for this country to do will
be to train atinle* and manufacture
it unltlons of war.
In such a contingency it will be
ear- of fight or peri«h
It l.« sit prising how p rsislt in cer-
tain people cult he in th< c efforts to
effect tin ranrellmlon of the billions
of dollars in delns that the alius owe
to this country
What is behind this insidious raw
paten? 1 |
Hate these people oi theil musters
bought hear ily of depreciated lot
tegn money especially French anil [
tjerni.n uid do they expect that
the cancellation ol the allied debts
will raise the value oi ibis foieign
money, thus creating additional lor
tune* for themselves
Ur have they other irons in tin
Ore wheieby they hope to reap lirli
rewards through (lie creation of a
atupenduous loss to their countiy?
Are they volubltarty cancelling
any of the debts olhher peupie owe
to them? They are not.
They claim that the cancellation of
lhe aliieti d. to would re.-torc woild
equilibrium*
ff that is true, why wouldn't the
cancellation M the debts 'hat oth-r
propie nwt them restore American
equilibrium*

Well well, well! Pres* dispatches

Quite an achievement, indeed!
Keep up your stride. Mi. President

Restoration of the rountry to some
