THE DISARMAMENT DISCUSSION.

The prospect that the question Of disarIna-
ment or Limitation of ornaments Will not, after
sll, be discussed at The Hague. or that il will
merely be introduced in formal and perfume
tory manner and then will be laid upon the
shelf is doubtless 10 be attributed TO the re-
cent positive refusal OF Germany TO take part
in any such debate. The German Chancellor
made himself quite clear on that point few
days ago. and 1T must be confessed. however
disappointing the result of his utterance may
be TO some, that he supported his position with
q good deal of logical force. q"
Prince Won Billow recalled the fact that this
question was introduced at the first Hague con-
sress. with the, result that the powers were in
vited TO give 1t their particular consideration.
The German government has done so. but II
has not been able 10 devise any practicable
and equita bic means for putting disarmament
into effect Neither has it learned that any
other government has been more successful in
deyising such a scheme Therefore IL believes
that a discussion Of the matter at The Hague
would be barren OF profit, and might actually
be mischieTous. 1t would not go so far as to
follow the example which was set years ago
by another great power and refuse 10 enter
The congress unless this topic was excluded :
but IL would leave all discussion OF the tonic
to other powers.
With that attitude II is impossible 10 quarrel
We have hitherto pointed out in these columns
the difficulty, IL not the impossibility, of de-
yising disarmament scheme which would he
equitable and effective, and we believe II TO
be quite true, as Prince Won Biiow said, that no
nation has yet suggested such a scheme There
may be marked difference OF opinion as TO the
propriety Of discussing the matter at The
Hague, but at least we cannot dismiss as idle
Prince Won Bdlow's objection that If In all the
time since the former Hague congress nobody
has been able TO contrlve a plan there Ia little
hope Of doing so during the comparat iyeIy brief
session OF the present congress. Reintroduction
OF the topic and renewed commentator of II TO
the powers for consideration would be unob
5ectonable but that would be very different
from taking up large part of the congress-
time with debate in which nobody was pre-
pared 10 offer any definite basis of action
Nor can we challenge the sincerity Of tbe
Chaqcellors jusufable boast that Germany
has not only practised but has also vipdicsted
the principle that peace is best TO be secured
by being ready for war Certainly no power in
the world has for the last thirty odd years made
greater readiness for war, and at the same time
IL would not be easy 10 point 10 any which
