equal to enforcing open door that

It may be true we do not know.
Yet It seems a sad contemplation
t!iat nations should always he prepar
lug for war with the specific thought
that war will be. This reverts itself
to ;i st.it- of mind rather than a
state of being. With the disarma-
ment conference now in session it l
to be hoped that the state of mind
may be changed so that our thou;U
will be on disarmament and no wars
rather than war' and preparedness
