DISARMAMENT OF THOUGHT
Secretary Hughes, of the state de
partment. made a notable address a
few days ago at a conference of social
wrorkers when he gave a-’ a formula
for international peace, “disarma
ment of thought.” He emphasized his
remarks pointedly by declaring also
that “there is only one way *o the
goal—a long and difficult way—that is
by the cultivation of the spirit of
friendship and good will among peo
ples through which alone the sources
of danger can be dried up."
One of the reasons why America
stands high today among the peoples
of the world is that it has tried to
disarm thought and pursued no selfish
objective in its dealings with other
countries.
Notable among the recent achieve
ments in this direction was the Wash
ington conference which—to use Mr.
Hughes’ words—"managed to scrap
distrust as well as the w'eapons o'
war and ended wasteful competition,”
which spelled not security but suspi
cion. American relief agencies have
also accomplihsed much to heighten
the standing of the United States and
conferences with the Latin-American
countries have done much to promote
understanding and goodwill.
The United States has done much
and continues to strive unceasingly
for “disarmament of thought” and its
example is one which the world re
gards with growing appreciation even
though the feeling of distrust and sus
picion and the elements of intrigue
and disruption have not ceased to fer
ment. If world peace comes it will
come through the adoption by the
world of the American policy.
AMERICAN TIMBER A CROP
Since the available timber supply
of the United States is being consum
ed four times as fast as it is being
replaced, the United States depart
ment of agriculture in its year book
Tor 1922 says timber should be re
garded not as a mine but as a crop.
Nearly half the land area o( the U.
S. was originally forested, but this
area has been reduced to 238,000,0'0
acres of virgin forest^ 250,000,000 acres
of comparatively inferior, culled and
second growth and 81,000,000 acres o.
barren land, a total oi 1%'s than 1*(|
000,000 acres.
A large part of this destruction has
come about through forest fires. A
vast tract of land has been burned
over annually, and this timber is ab
solutely lost both to the producer and
the consumer.
Campers cannot be too caretul "hen
in the forests in the dry season
W. Gustafson arrived in Seward Sat
urday from Canyon creek, where he
