TAFT SAYS DISARM
In a discussion of the disarmament
rjuestion, former President William
Taft recently declared that ‘“the j
enormous burden of debt of every,
country makes it almost indispens
able that the necessity for arma
ment be removed. You can only do
that by joint action and joint agree
ments and by promises of settling
all differences without fighting.
“They are already discussing in
the United States an agreement for
disarmament or the limiting of arm-;
ament, and strangely enough this'
comes in part, at least, from men:
who have been vigorously opposed
to any league at all.
“I am very hopeful that under Mr. j
Harding we shall reach a conclusion i
with other leading nations for an!
association or league which shall■
mark the advance brought about by j
the war toward reasonable machm-!
ery for the avoidance of future
conflicts. This will involve the sitting;
around :he council toMe of all im-!
portant nations and will imply the j
taking of joint measures to compose!
differences and to restrain a resort.
to the unsatisfactory and bloody a;
bitrament of war.
“Lately I have often been ques
tioned as to the attitude of the
United States toward Great Britain. >
Of course the United States consists
of some 110,000,000 people with j
many different currents of thought.
permeating the mass. Many diflerent;
groupings, too will be found and
there are some of these groups, more
vocal than representative of real
public opinion who manifest bitter
feeling against Britain. But when an ;
important question arises, when a
real issue comes before us, then the j
sober public opinion of the United j
States asserts itself. j
“I never have had the slightest |
concern over the relations of the j
two countries. We form the strong-'
i
est union for peace between nations i
that exists in the world today. We
have got into the habit of settling
all our differences by moans of ne
gotiations and arbitration. The great
body of the people of the United,
States cannot conceive of a war fee-;
tween the two countries because they j
are confident that any matters In j
dispute can and will he settled ‘
either by negotiation or by the judg-'
ment of a court as with people In;
any domestic jurisdiction where law;
and order prevail.’’
Of business conditions in the'
country at the present time, Mr. |
Taft says they are not alarming. Hej
points out that we are a very re- j
silient people and can fight our way!
back to prosperity, as we fought out ,
way back to peace.
It is understood that Tom Aitken j
is preparing to abandon his opera
tions on the Quigley property in
the Kantishna district. It is known
that he is offering his supplies for
sale and it is said to be this inten
tion to return to the Kuskokwfm.
A steamer arrived at Seward on
Sunday with a large, quantity of
supplies fo Xenana merchants. The
shipments include fresh eggs for
the local market, and new cigars
to replenish depleted stocks.

One Pair Did Not Wear Out!l
I'I' was a scientific expedition composed of three
white men and five Indians.
Thev tramped clear across Labrador, five months of
that heart-breaking going through rough country
that simply means death to footwear.
One man wore Goodrich “Hi-Press” and the rest
wore—other makes.
And before the traverse was completed every sol
itary boot and shoe had worn out except Goodrich!
The chief of the party (who wore the Goodrich) sent
the shoes into us as proof. You should see them—
the corrugations on the sole are not all worn oft.
There is no doubt of the superior wearing quality
of Goodrich Rubber Boots and Shoes. It has been
proven time and again.
Fishermen, laborers, hunters, miners all agree that
the footwear with the Red Line ’Round the Top
stands supreme for comfort and all around service.
