AMERICA AND THE WAR-MAKER.

(Continued from Page 1.)

Americs, over all its length and breadth, has accepted the ac Donald-Hoover declaration as hon! that war between Britain and America is ended forever. Mac Dogald may go will go. Hoover may go will go. The ins" of to-day will be the "outs" of to- marrow, But the British and the American people will remain, and their voices will be raised with ever greater, never lesser, insistency for peace. The Briand-Kellogg Past violated or menseed, Britain and America, will say to each other; "What shall we do about it and. they will do about it that which will preserve their own peace and put the aggressor in the position he deserves.

America is serious about this. Hoover is serious about it. An American remarked to me about the President :--

"Have you noticed that thick- ness at the back of his neck 1, A .bull-neck, they would call it, I sup pose. When you are putting a buil neck on somebody, put it on a sane man who hates war.

Now a word about parity. Ser- face students of the United States utterly fail to grasp America's rea son for secking naval parity with Britain. Such students judge this attitude of a great people and only those who know America best know how great she is to arise from nationalistic egoism or egot- iam, America's head is swollen. She wants to be all dressed up mavally, even if she has no place to go. She is a child longing for the trappings of war.

I wish it were possible for me to enable the peoples of Europe to understand how egregiously wild that impression is. Armies and navies, as such, make absolutely-no FARES NOT TO BE REDUCED. appeal to the American heart. or

Washington, April 2-The United States Shipping Board to-day ap- proved of the Trans-Pacific Passen- ger Conference Agreement between to day abruptly closed their pro-the American Mall; the Canadian hibition testimony before the House Australasian, the Royal Mail, the Los Angeles Steamship Co., the Judiciary Committee when they Canadian Pacific, the Dollar Line, filed statements by Mr. F. Scott the Matson Navigation Co., the Mcbride, general superintendent N.Y.K. and the Union Steamship Co. of New Zealand, whereby these of the Anti-Saloon League. of companies agreed not to reduce America, and several others. fares, increase commission or alter regulations in such manner as to decrease revenue without unanim ous agreement.

This followed evidence by Mr. Weston Allen, a Boston lawyer who quoted several 19th century court decisions bolding that American citizens cannot legally make what ever they desire to eat and drink, The testimony was intended to op pose the manufacture of home liquor legally.

Representative Fiorelly H. La Guardia of New York, well known "wet," expressed intense disap pointment at the sudden winding- up of the "dry" side of the case.

"Here I've waited 10 years to cross-examine the Anti-Saloon League," he lamented, "And now I'm denied the privilege!"

The "wets" are to be permitted to introduce testimony in rebuttal f that recently given by the pro- hibition, forces. This will occur on April 16.

Members will adhere rigidly to their published fares, while free or reduced rate passages will be pro- hibited except through unanimous agreement.

That mighty continent was theirs. The irresistible pull of their des tiny was away from war, not to- wards it. It is so to-day. And the measure of this pull is the measure of America's abomination of war It is this measure, and it is also an index to acute curiosity as to what America will do if some Power, overriding its pledges to mankind in the Pact of Paris, affronts the world with the international crime of aggression.
