While the topic was "The Possibility of Disarmament," Judge Clarke naturally dipped into the League of Nations and General Mitchell very forcibly expressed his views on aircraft. The discussion became quite spirited and the speakers came back several times to answer their opponents. On the whole, the speakers seemed to concur in but one proposition, that reduction of armaments would not necessarily lessen the danger of war.
The meeting seemed to make the writer realize the dangerous morass through which Europe is dragging. It is discouraging to realize that civilization is very possibly sinking to a new period of the Dark Ages, and that only the greatest care and foresight will prevent such a catastrophe.
ATTENTION, COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN!
The Bar of Fargo is extremely anxious that its work of months shall
not be nullified by the inactivity or laches of those whose business it is really to formulate the work of the annual meeting.
It is, therefore, urged upon every chairman of a committee to present, in writing, on or before August 5th, a report of the work and recommendations of that committee.
Remember, the report should be in the hands of the Secretary by August 5th, to insure the publication of an outline or summary in the August issue of Bar Briefs.
