An international "smokc screen"

q RATHER startling hypothesis is that sent
from London by correspondent to the
erect that the freedom f-the-seas issue is
not ana never has been an issue at all; that
lt never has been anything more or less than
a smoke screen" or piece OF political camou-
fage, behind which President Wilson and the
allied statesmen could work undisturbed To-
"aro an amlcable and lasting settlement OF
those issues which very real There is
snlhclent TO make one believe that the corre-
spondent has sized up the situation Alright.
Ills conclusion is strengthened by President
WILSON'S statement to American newsnaner
men that There is complete agreement he
tween Great Britain and the United states
on all peace problems" and the concord that
mas Deen very apparent in all Of those mo-
mentous conferences in London
The Presidents assurance OF complete
agreement leaves no room for doubt that the
two great English-speak king nations will he
and act as one at the peace table that the
efforts OF Germany to SOW the seeds of dis
cord and bring about rupture in tho ranks
OF its enemies have been futile, and thar M
selfish aims on the part OF any one of the
victorious nations will endanger the making
anu cementlng OF peace that shall be nm
broken throughout the coming ages The
complete agreement, Of course, includes
the league OF nations, on which President
Wlisons heart is so firmly set as the surest
may be guaranteed as the outgrowth of this
devastating war.
1t never was seriously believed that any
real threat was hidden in all the talk about
the freedom of the seas. Most OF it has been
academic or in ignorance of what the phrase
really means. The British navy has heen
the defense and the savior of civilization
and there will be no dismantling of that
Grand Fleet which has been essential IN the
life OF that far-fung empire. Neither will
the United States forsake its faith in the
strength Of its navy, but undoubtedly there
VIII be cessation of that naval building race
which has borne down so heavily on the.
shoulders of the taxpaying people and all but
threatened to impoverish the nations The
details or future ornaments on land and IN
sea may be left to the peace conference In
Versailles, but there is happy augury in
President Wilson'S statement, and confidence
that with the two nations in accord no ont
law people ever will have strength enough
to dare attack them. Whether the agree
mcnt as to the freedom of the seas was
reached in Downing Street, in buckingham
Palace or i'll Washington before the President
sailed for Europe does not matter The
agreement is fact and no DEVELOPMENTS
are likely to alter it.

In Vienna alone it is cal culated that scores of thousands of non-smokers must have registered as tobacco consumers, presumably for the benefit of their freinds. The result would have been the appor- tionment of about one cigarette daily to each applicant The whole scheme has now been dropped.
