In their political significance they may not be so far apart as that. In 1920, when the people of the Punjab were aroused by two irksome sedition laws imposed upon them by the government, British Troops sta tioned at Amritsar fired upon the na tives, with terrible consequences, some 1,000 men, women and children being killed. Gen. Dyer, who was in command, reported that the mob, seeking to secure release of two of their number under arrest, attacked the troops, who thereupon opened fire, though the mob was in part made up of women and children, even mothers with babes in their arms. It approximated what American Marines stationed at Ocotal did a week ago last Sunday. When the rev olutionary army fired upon the American position part of the towns people went out and joined in the at tack, a sufficient commentary, sure ly, upon the popularity of our occu pation. Fighting with such crude firearms as they could rustle, as we ourselves did at Bunker Hill, the wretched inhabitants, crazed by love of country and resentment c.f its ' desecration by a foreign foe. exposed themselves to the crack armament of ' the most powerful country in the world, which, with machine guns, ' quick-firing cannon and bomb-drop-i ping planes, quickly snuffed out the lives of COO Nicaraguans and redue- I ed their sublime sacrifice to the hol . low mockery of folly. I Great Britain has never recovered . in the Orient from Amritsar. There I is not a man. woman or child m India who does not know about it. The least Chinaman in the fastnesses of the celestial mountains, or the humblest peasant in Tibet, knows j that at Amritsar the Europeans, with j their great guns, massacred the de fenseless Orientals, making no excep tion of women, children or infants in arms. That massacre has cost Brit ain more prestige in Asia than all the cruelties of Lord Clive or the in- credible bumptiousness of the opium Tt x j . . .1 , i : 1 . , , i .. i -. .,.-,1 of Britain's rupture with Russia and to the Mediterranean. In a long cal endar of folly, of blunder piled upon blunder, the arch blunderer, Britain, never excelled that. Is this what Ocotal is to be to us? It is very likely. We may be sure that every Latin American willj know about it. We may safely as- J sume that every tiny hamlet in the Cordilleras or the Andes, every ; ' thatched-top village in the Amazon j wilderness, will know that on one j side was conquest, with its wealth j jand its arms, and on the other only j the defenseless native. This is thei sort of thing that needs no radio and i no press. It is the sort of thing that j will do to our prestige in Latin ! America what Amritsar has done for' British prestige in the Orient. j jf there is a greater folly the' T - njtf.d States could commit the Post- j Dispatch dees not know what it is. St T.nni Post-TMsnatch. :o:- KEEPING UP WITH NEIGHBORS Once upon a time there wfre two neighboring families who went under the well known names of Smith and Jones They had been young folks to gether, and were distantly related. They had had a few family feuds, but they got along well together on the whole, and had prospered. When automobiles came in, each family had its automobile. When it became stylish to have two automo biles, the Smiths were not far be hind the Joneses. One day the Sm5ths took a notion into thpir hrjd that they should have more auto- j to- mobiles than the Jones. They bought . ... i!u i 1 a car ior eacn oi me cnuuieu, auuj-' one for their servants. The Joneses said that this was the t)lv j?

Call the Smiths I England and tne Joneses America, use the word cruiser In place of the word automobile, and you have the whole story of the disarmament con ference impasse and deadlock. Reduced to simplest terms, it comes an absurdity. ! :o: "Will vou please give us a guess " . , .7 t r.-jo,.-'?" on the vote of the first primarj ? asked a subscriber. Sure.
