World place is a matter of good neighbors. The United States and
Canada are examples. The two countries have been at peace for over a
century, despite an unfortified frontier more than three thousand miles long.
So unneighborly are the rest of the nations that such a thing could
n’t happen anywhere else in the world.
That is something for the Disarmament Conference to pomb-r over
during its efforts to solve the problem of abolishing war.- -if indeed there
is any real desire on the part of th" participating powers to rid the world
of the arbitrary force of might. Some of them, we feel,still harbor de
signs which can be accomplished only by usurpation and aggression and are
secretly adverse to tying themselves to a restricted armament program.
On the very eve of the conference one of the participating powers lias an
nounced through its leading representative that it intends to proceed with a
naval program which in twelve years will place it in the lead of all others
jin naval strength; while the chief spokesman of an even greater power
than the one referred to has declared that his nation must maintain its
naval supremacy despite the formulations of the disarmament conference.
Indeed there is much reason to doubt if any of the powers aside from the
United States and France are wholeheartedly in favor of disarming or re
stricting armaments to more than moderate extent. From what can he
learned of the situation in this remote region, it appears that the seeds of
war abolition must need find more fallow soil to bring forth a harvest of
universal and perpetual peace. The nations will not be neighborly until
they overcome national selfishness and desire for aggrandizement and
Jtearn, to know their neighbors. They must follow the example of the
United States and build along their borders monuments in commemoration
of decades of peace instead of forts bristling with the instruments of hatred
and destruction.

Reflections on the American-Canadian relations recalls that •
lean thirst for Canadian firewater is going to do a lot toward making Yank
ees and Canucks better acquainted with each other. Booze is ordinary
not a very stable basis upon which to build permanent friendship, we admit,
but It is certainly due to operate in that direction in the case of Americans
and Canadians. Tens of thousands of Americans cross the line into Can
ada each month in search of the inspiration born of Canadian stills and th
number is increasing steadily. In addition, preliminary reports show that
close to one million Americans will have crossed the line into Canada for
other purposes by the close of the present year.
More of them should go and more Canadians should visit the United
states. As we said in the preceding article, neighbors should know
each other. Then too. the younger generation, even in such English
hotbed9 as Toronto .are privately discussing the possibility of Canada
eventually breaking away from the British Empire and coming under the
American flag. Whatever may be the attractions of the United States for
Canadians, there is a vast field for Americans in Canada.
Our northern neighbor produces 85 per cent of the world’s ni. k)*\
DO per cent of its cobalt. 88 per cent of its asbestos, 32 per cent of its pulp
wood, 20 percent of its lumber, 20 per cent of its cured fish. 12 per cent of
its silver, 14 per cent of its gold and the same of copper. In addition 12
out of every 100 bushels of wheat In the world are grown in Canada its,
climate is not near as cold or severe as the moving pictures seem to indi
cate. In proof of this it may be said that Canada grew 20 million pounds
of tobacco last year.
Canada is a good country to go to and the more that go the better
friends we will become and the more confidential and trusting will be our
relations.
THE HOMELAND HELPS
Before the war, the chief European nations were too powerful and
self-complacent to worry over the emigration of their surplus population.
The western hemisphere, they felt, was more than welcome to it. There
was, they decided, no necessity for definite emigration policy. Th>- war.
however, revealed two disagreeable facts; that each nation was harboring
disloyal aliens within Its borders, and that its own loyal sons on foreign
eo|1 had been ignored Until they w’ere beyond reclaiming.
Every important European nation now’ has anlmmigration policy in.
fluenced by these two discoveries. Every nation is encouraging the emi
giation of alien nationalists from its borders; which explains a tremendous
exodus of Hungarians from Czechoslovakia and of Jews from all of Eu
rope. Every nation is refusing to receive back into its fold aliens who left
It during the war to fight for their mother countries. Every nation is
determined to keep track of its own native emigrants; to see that they are
well protected in foreign lands, and thus win and keep their loyalty. Hol
land has already called a conference of European states to consider uniform
plans for affording such protection, and it has been one of the first coun
tries to open immigration aid bureaus in foreign cities.—Exchange
BULLY FOR MR. HAYS
Postmaster General Hays has issued a general order directing all
postmasters to "clip from all newspapers or periodicals,’’ all comment fav
orable or unfavorable, and all suggestions referring directly or indirectly
to the department, including editorial a tides. The department, the
posttaaster general tells postmasters, is particularly anxious to have all
constructive criticism called to Its attention.
This sort of spirit on the part of the postmaster general will get
just what ho asks. Mr. Hays has shown, from the very first that he is
determined to make the postal service one of the most efficient, as it is one
of the most Important services in the world. For that reason, if there
wore not a-hundred others, the American people would rally (o his support.

SENATOR’S URGING PROTECTION
FOR GOLD INDUSTRY
A renewed movement to protect
the gold mining industry and restore
production to the normal standard
is indicated in the following resolu
tion recently passed by Senate Com
mittee on Mines and Mining and
later presented to the Secretary of
the Treasury Andrew Mellon, after
receiving the endorsement of nearl/
one fourth rf the Senate members,
whose names are appended.
RESOLUTION ON THE GOLD

WHEREAS. Gold 1 the standard
of value and the basis of all credit,
and its production is virtually im
portant to the financial and commer
cial life of the nation and of the
world; and
WHEREAS. The production of
gold in the United States has de
clined from $101.(135,000 in 1915 to
^$49,509.000 in 1920. a decline in
excess of 50 per cent, due to the fan
that the price of gold is fixed by the
government while the cost of produc
ing gold has greatly increased; and
WHEREAS. The consumption of
gold in manufactures and the arts
increased from $37,820,000 in 1915
of $75,490,000 jn 1919. an increase
of 100 per cent, due to the excessive
demand for luxuries and the fact
tha* the government has been sup
plying the industrial consumers of
gold with the metal at the per-war
deflation will not be sufficiently rap
id to prevent the further decline in
the production of sold and the wast
age of developed sold are resources
due to the flooding of mines; and
WHERKAS. The -old standard can
not be permanently maintained with
out gold production, and the nation
is confronted today by the prospect
of a heavy drain upon the monetary
gold reserve which will necessitate
a still further curtailment of credit:

T. .McFadden. Chairman of the Hank
ing and Currency Committee. ha«

a provision to levy an excise, in ac
cordance with the Constitution, has
been introduced in the House of Rep
resentatives, and referred to the
Ways and Means Committee thr-rof;

both the policy aiul administration of
the Treasury Department has been
referred by Chairman Fordney to the
Secretary of the Treasury for an
opinion; now. therefore, be it
RESOLVED. That the undersign
ed, members of the United States
Senate, urge upon the Secretary of
the Treasury the significance of his
reply to Chairman Fordney in de
termining the status of the gold
mining industry, which is vitually
important to the maintenance of the
gold standard and the financial se
curity of the nation; and he it fur
RESOLVED. That if upon thn
analysis of the Secretary of the
Treasury reasons cannot be definite
ly assigned for opposing the provi
sions of H. R. 5025, the Secretary is
requested to endorse the same in
order to expedite the action of the
House and permit the bill to be con
sidered by the Senate; and he it
