A BLUNDER
WAiKmaTOir promises to be a. bit crowded
The AmarlUo Nows thinks It has
discovered ft blundor on the part of
President Harding. Says the Nows:
President Harding has made an tin
fortunate blunder in his reply to a re-
quest for the. appointment of a former
service man on the American Com-
mission to the International Disarm-
ament Conference. This request went
Up to tho President from Representa-
tive Lamar Jeffera of Alabama and
from the American Legion In "Wash-
lngton.
Responsive to these requests the
President wId that there was no ex-
sorvlce man of the World War of out-
standing qualifications to be n mem-
ber of tho American Commission and
therefore the pollto declination was
voiced.
This is most unhappy for President
Harding who as tho head of his party
.. oii n ffitof rvrheuttvo of the Qov-
c.a . - -- .
ernment. Is expected to guard ngamsi
vexatious blunders. According to the
W6rld War Veterahs and their numer-
ous friends tt Is held that an error
was committed.
Former service men are of the opin-
ion that they have among their num-
bers men capacitated to hold any po-
sition In the world from president of
the Unitud States downward and there
ts a feeling of rcsontment expressed
among them and by their friends all
vcr tho country.
It might have seemed well to Pres-
ident Harding not to name an ex-
service man on the Commission and
this of course ho had a perfect right
to do and could have gotten away
with it all right but when tho renson
for the declination was given thore
went up a pretest tho last of which
has not bcen heard down to now. The
fp.t la tbat there are likely to be ech
oes of this statement or declaration!
heard during the next general eioc-
tion.
FULL OF THE SUBJECT
There is a growing belief In Lon-
don dispatches assure us that tho
mandate questions and the European
debts to tho United States will be
among tho subjects discussed at tho
coming ctjnferenco on limitation oi
armaments.
If this Is true then the conference
Is to be JU of subjects.
Japan will not willingly discuss
anything unless It be the question of
Japanese rights in America. England
wants her debts forgiven and also
wants the United States to talk over
mandate matters. France has a word
or two to slip In edgewise on tho
subject of Upper Silesia.
It Is probable the question of arma-
ment will take up less of the time of
the conference than any other sub-
ject It la even possible that it will
not be discussed at all.
Thero is also a possibility that the
whole thing will break up in an in-
ternational wrangle besides which the
meeting at Versailles was tame and
insipid. The cupidity of nations and
tho ambitions of individuals- will ho
given full Play at Washington with
tho result that tho whole affair will
come to naught.
Anyway wo all hope something
good will come out of the conference
but the prospect is not particularly
cheerful Just at this moment.
POINTS THE WAT
Amarill Tribune:
People must forget the inflated val-
uos caused by the war and so-called
business booms following and got
down to the values of today Is the nd-
vlco of H. C. Wright local real es-
tate dealer who adds with much cor-
rectness that the whole country will
got back to normal conditions and
wo will all bo in much better shape
when that is done.
There is sound logic in the assertion
of Mr. Wright. It is tho key to tho
wholo situation. Inflated values must
be erased. There is no otner way
around tho "bstaolos confrontng tho
commerlcal and industrial world to-
doy. Inflated values As apply to rents
building costs materials homos la-
bor coal estate and tho commodities
neceHsary to thp ovoryday life of tho
inuiviuuai muji no eruneu.
Wo aro standing face to face with
tho cold facts- Why dolay action? Aro
all ready to accept tho loss in wiping
out tho inflatod values? If you are
ready to do your part you are ready
for business to get down to the sound
bnsls on which it must return and
stay.
WEST TEXAS GREAT FAIR
Fort Worth Record:
Tho West TcxAB Fair ht Abllono has
taken on the aspect of a stato of
Texas institution rather than a locnl
oxponllon although It emphasizes tho
greatness and tho posslbllitcs of the
great nrca generally known as West
Texas but which contains much of
North and Central Texas.
Last week saw tho closing of the
1921 fair and all rccqrds for attend
ance ana ror tno excellence ot inc
exhibits as well as for interest and
enthusiasm are reported to have been
broken. At tho close 6f a year which
has bcen marked by goncral business
depression throughout the country.
West Toxas demonstrated her sound
economic foundation and tho promise
of her future.
Tho vast empire Included between
Fort Worth and tho Now Mexico
boundary and from the Rio Grande
to tho topmost tier of tho Panhnhdlc
countries la probably tho richest area
potentially in tho country and one of
tho richest in tho world its suriace
has hardly been scratched aiid tho
real extent ot its treasures has hard
ly been gutssed.
Fort Worth extends its congratu
lations to West Texas on the succtsb
and tho significant magnitude of Its
fair and to Abilene on tho way lrt
which the big show was handled nnd
tho hobpltailty of the fair city. Ono
Can easly look forward to the time
when tho West Texas fair becomes
one of the dominating expositions of
statewide anneal and from the 1021
showing that time is close at hand.
Of similar significance to the Ab-
ilene fair is tho success made this
year by the West Texas fairs in gen-
eral. They havo shown a remarkablo
vitality in the faCe of what looked
from the opening to be a discouraging
year for fairs New confidence in the
soundness of West Texas has been
created by the fine fairs held all over
the West Texas area such as those at
San Saba and that just opening at Lub-
bock. Tho Record has been giving
much space to these community events
not only becauso ot their presents
news valuo but because of their prom-
ise for. tho future bf West Texas.

That school of statescraft which
professes to believe America should
have nothing to do with the rest of
the world probably wonders at all this
talk about America giving up its
claims on Europe for dobts. It is
urged that America forgive her deb-
tors in order that America s foreign
trado may prosper and In turn mako
America prosperous. If America de-
pends on foreign trade for her pros-
perity (which she doesn't do alto-
gether) then how can America ro-
maln isolated? Tho answer is sho
can't. Tho nations which owe money
to Uncle Sam should be made to pay
to the uttermost farthing. If they nro
jiot able to pay now they will be able
to pay some day. Extonslon of the
loans rather than thclj complete wip-
ing out should bo the method pursued.

IS IX FULL SWING
The Stato Fair of Texas is In full
swing. This is perhaps the. greatest
state fair In the United States both n
point of 'the crowds it attracts and
the extonU and value of the exhibits.
It started from & small beginning and
has been kept going by tho untiring
labor and ungrudging generosity Pf
the people of Dallas. In course of
time tho West Texas Fair at Abilene
can be made as great a success as thi
'State Fair of Texas but it will require
long and hard work
The New York Giants oven the scoro

Wed the mighty Mays. It all goes to
s"how that a good start is not all. How
often havo you seen infant prodigies
make medlooro men? How often havo
you cen happy-go-lucky youths turn
out mighty men of finance or com-
merce Or statescraft?
