WASHINGTON
CURRENT
COMMENT
The messages delivered
by Armistice Day speakers
covered a wide range of op
inion. Perhaps the most
prominent note was that in
the hour of peace it it well
to keep one’s country de
fended against war. Others
stated that it was best to
be prepared for peace and
let war take care of itself.
For all, whether militar
ists or pacifists, there was
the sound and practical sug
gestion that anyone who
wished to keep alive the
spirit of the time that cul
minated in ‘he first Armist
ice Day could do so be daily
sacrifice in the service of

An American contract
for approximately two thou
sand tons of bridge steel
has been handed to a Euro
pean company, and with
steel workers far from be
ing taxed beyond their
strength in the United Slat

be done about it. There
ought to be enough Euro
pean steel in America al
ready to last us a long
while. We imported a large
quantity of it seventy years

bodies of Ameriv. n sol
diers, living and dead.
The California Pacific In
ternalional Exposiiv n at
San Diego has closed i s
gates until mid-winter, al
though probably the citi
zens of the southwestern
city would resent the use
of the word “mid-winter”
in connection with their
perennially balmy town.
The list of big shows,
which may be said to begin
with the Centennial at
Philadelphia in 1876, is of
considerable length. City
folks are inclined to laugh
at the county fair. Five mil
lion persons attended the
San Diego display.
