novelist, on the Washington Arms Congress, By arrangement with Th Chicago
Tribune and cw lork World.)
PEACE OB
STUDIES AT THE WASHINGTON CONFERENCE
I. .
THE IMMENSITY OF THE ISSUE AND THE TRIVIALITX OP MEN.
The conference nominally for the limitation of armament that now gather
at Washington may become a cardinal event in the history of mankind. It my
mark turning point in human affairs or it may go on record as one of the last
failure to stave off the disasters and destruction that gather about our rac.
In August, 1914, an age of insecure
end. When at last, on the most momentous summer night m history, the long
preparations of militarism burst their bounds and the little Belgian village Vis
went up in Haines, men said: "This is a catastrophe.' But they found it hard
to anticipate thenature of the catastrophe. They thought for the most part of the
wounds and killing and burning of war and imagined that when at last the war
waa over we ehould count our liases and go ou again much as we did before 1914.
As well might a little shopkeeper murder his wife in the night and expect to
carry on "business as usual" in the morning. "Business as usual" that was
the catchword in Britain in 1914; of all the catchwords of the world it carric
now the heaviest charge of irony,.,.
The catastrophe of 11)14 is still going on. It does not end; it increase and
spreads. This winter more people will suffer dreadful things and more people
will die untimely through the clash of 1 il 4 than suffered and died in the first
year of the war It is true that the social collapse of Russia in 1917 and the ex
haustion of food and munitions in Central Europe in WIS produced a sort of
degradation and enfeelilement of the combatant efforts of our race and that a
futile conference at Versailles sottled nothing, with an air of settling every
thing, but that was no more an tiid Jo disr.sti r than it would be if a man who
was standing up and receiving horrible wounds were to fall down and writhe
nd bleed in the dust. It would be merely a.nfw p1i:so of disaster. Since 1919
this world ha a not so much healed its wounds as realized it injuries.
''Decay That Spread
' Chief umong these injuries is the pro
gressive economic breakdown, the mag
nitude of which we are only beginning
to apprehend. The breakdown is a real
decay that spreads and spreads. In a
time of universal shortage there is an
increasing paralysis in production; and
there is a paralysis of production be
causo the monetary system of the world,
which was sustained by the honest co
operation of Governments, is breaking
down. Thj fluctuations in the real al
ue of money become greater and greater
in dtbey shake and shatter th eentire
fabric-of social co-operation.
Our civilisation li, materially, a
cisli and redit system, dependent on
men' confidence in the value of mon
jy. But now. money fUs us and cheats
Mi we work for waes trld they five
u uncertain paper. No one now dure
make contract ahead; no on can fix
up a stable wages secernent; jiu one
knows what one. hundred dollars or
francs or pound will mean in two
year's time.
What i.s the good of eavingt What
is thi garod of foresight! 'Business and
amploj merit become impossible. I'nless
money can be steadied and restored, our
economic and social life will go on dis
integrating, and it can be restored only
by a world effort.
But sue!', a world effort to restore bus
iness and prosperity is only possible
between Govern nirnts sincerely at
peace, and because of the failure uf
Versailles there if no such a'ueere peace.
Everywhere the (internment, and no
tably Jafnui and France, arm. Amidst
the steady disintegration of the pres
ent system of things, they prepare fur
fresh wars, wars that c:in have mly
one end an extension of the famine
and social eoliaps-e that, have already
ingulfed Russia to the rest of 4be-wrld.;
In Kuts'a, in Austria, in many parts
of Germany, this social decay is visible
in actual ruins, in broken down rail
ways and suchlike machinery falling out
of use. But even in W"steru Europe,
in franco and England, there is s
jhabbinesn, tin re is a decline visible
to any one, with a keen memory.
The" other day my friend Mr. Charlie
Chaplin brought his ken, observant
eye back to London, after an absence
of ten years.
"People are not laughing and earc
Jes here as they used to be," he told
me. ''It isn't the London I remember.
They are oniious. Something hangs
over them."
Coming as I. do" from Europe to Amerl
e, I am am a red at the apparent buoy
ancy and abundance of New York. The
place seams to possess an incihsiitiblc
vitality. Hut this towering, tt under
ing, congested city, with such a tor
rent of traffic and inch a concourse
of tieovHe as I have never seen before
i, after all, to European door of
An.er'.ca; it draws this superabundant
and astounding 'lifu from Undo, from
a trade whpse roots are dying.
New York in a Perilous Conditio
When one looks at New Yuri its a
miranee is amnnng; when one reflects
we realize itsjtremendous peril. It is
going on-as Londou is ifoing on-by
accumulated inertia. With the possible
exception of Loudon, the position of
New York seems to me the most per:
"ou of that of any city in the world.
Vhat is to happen to this immense
crowd of people if the trade that feeds
it ebbs? As assuredly it will ebb un
le th decline of Kuropean money and
builnes can be arrested, unless, that
ia, th world projlem of trade and
credit can be grappled with as a world
affair.
Th world' economic life, it civ!
Haat'en, embodied in its great town,
i disintegrating ani collapsing through
the strains of the modern war threat
and of the disunited control of modern
affair.
This in general, term is the aitu
jtjon of mankind today; this is the
ituation, tho tremendous and crucial
situation, that President Harding, the
bead and spokesman of what is now
th most powerful and influential stnte
ia the world, hn called representatives
from most of the states in the world
to Washington to disrnsj. .--
Whatever little modification and lim
itation th tmall ' cuunilg of diplo

progress and accumulation came to an

mats may impose upon the trn,s of ref
erence of the conference, tho plain com
mon sense of mankind will insist that
its essential inquiry is, "What are we
to do, if anything can possibly be done,
to arrest the nver.sa the slide toward
continuing war pn p.i ration and war and
final social collapse 1" And you would
imagine that this momentous confer
ence woul gather in a mood of eialted
responsibility, with every conceivable
help and. every conceit able preparation
to grasp the enormous issues involved.
Let us dismiss auy such debsiun from
our minds.
Let us fai a real.ty toe ofn ig
nored in the dignified discussion of such
a business as this Wash ngton Confer
ence, and that is this: that the taumaa
mind takes hoid of uch very big ques
tions as the common peace of the eartri
and the teneral security of mankind
with very great reluctance and IMS H
tarteargo with extreBj aJaerrfy.
We are all naturally trivial creature
w do not live from, rear to year; we
live frpra day to day. Our minds r..i
totally take short views and are dis

forget with astonishing racihty. An

effect is require,! if they are to be
dealt wjjji in any effectual inatie,r.

worth a half million dollars, who w:f
hot from ambush a he wns coming to
town thi morning from his f irm. He
wa shot to death as he was riding nlong
the road just outside of town in a I

implicated in the killing.
Carrying hi shotgun as usual, Pcard

spread the alarm.
When officers, headed by Sheriff
Cornwell, who was called from Nah

killing, they found tracks leading in
the direction of the woods that aroused
suspicion. Morgan denied having anv

morning to another negro, Dock McCoy,
who had not been located tonight, while
Morgan's wife told the o'-ere that the
gun had been sent to Wilson for re
pair re.
These and other circumstances in
cluding litigation involving property
owned by the negro ' fatt er, caused
the officers to place him under arrest,,
