Professor Arnoldson says, IN part:

| is the air. And the neutrality of the
! air b. not something 60 De secured IN
| the future. 10 Is fact AN that is
needed is To- establish this fact upon
| "a basis of International right, now.
This suggestion is contained in the
well known uttcrance of Zeppelin, that
/ the construction of air ships ought
| Co be contest between nations In a
noble and brotheriy spirit
"For a long time TO come the only
/ question is OF a commercial contest
ou the seas That Germany I'M this
respect advances rapidly is of real
service even Go other countries, and
Indirectly also TO Great Britain. BY

| becomes 90 "a greater extent than ever
! q promoter of civilization. The Ideas
| of the old German philosophers that
such "a mission were 90 be carried on
with bayouets and cannon must be
entirely foreign 20 modern German
/ thinking. But the Industrial and com
mercial Germany has now become an
/ exporting power, and the expansion Of
the German mercantile navy has been
| followed by the creation Of power
| ful war navy which is thought TO sur
pass the French, and will perhaps I'm
time surpass even that OF Great Bri-
I tain.
England has at present 50 battle
! ships and 3s armOred cruisers OF about
| half a million tons. AT the same time
the German navy consists of % battle
ships OF a little over 100000 tons, ana
eight armorod cruisers of $4,000 tons. II
is evident that long time and vast
sums of money are needed IL Ger
many is 70 reach equality with Eng
land In naval strength.
The Taxpayers OF Germany are al
ready beginning TO feel the weight of
| the naval expenditures, and the par
| liaments OF the United states and
| Japan are hesitating at further racing
| for maritime supremacy.
"But even u Germany as a naval
power reaches equality with England,
/ or surpasses that country, as con-
l sequence of extraordinary efforts, and
! if I'm consequence thereof war breaks
out the difficulty OF understanding the
necessity Of Il an remains. Besides,
| 10 would be peculiar If these two great
! powers were unable to enter into
| agreements TO prevent a catastrophe
similar to those entered into by Eng
! land and other both eastern and west
/ ern, powers, more widely separated
| than the two Germanic states, par
ticularly since the Morocco agreement
has united. In a way Germany and
| France, Great Britain's ally.
What would be the use of a Ger
| man English war? Would it benefit the
| commerce? Two months of war would
| destroy more values than commerce
| could produce in a couple OF dccen-
NUNS And the gain OF the s0-called
conqueror would be at best few or
| ienta plantations and some scatter
| ed coal stations. A war between Ger
| many and England belongs 10 the
same class OF possibilities as the coll
| llsion between our planet and some
dark body In space. But the question Is
] whether there a. sufficient reason for
making life disagreeable for the sake
Of such possibilities.
