NAVAL ARMAMENT.

There is more friendliness in con-
gress toward the big naval plan than
might have been expected. The House
naval committee has reported with
It's unanimous approval the three-year
construction plan providing for the
spending of $3.50, 100000 a year on
new warships The measure seems
likely 20 pass the House.
It is winning public approval, too.
as its purpose becomes better under
stood. It is seen not as contradic-
ton Of the American peace policy, but
as a measure meant to strengthen
world peace; not, as threat against
Great Britain, but as program Of
self-respecting preparation for bearing
an equal part with Great Britain in
guaranteeing the freedom of the seas
and making effective the mandates OF
the world peace league.
II costs money. But the additional
year of war that everybody expected
would have cost far more. Any war
hereafter would cost far more. Wei
can we'll afford the money. And IN
the end we ray save billions by it.
The measure is not committing the
country to permanent policy Of big
naval armament. It is expected that
when the League o. Nations has be-
gun to junction smoothly, as it may
within a few years. such big arn1a- .
rnents will no longer be needed, even
for policing purposes.

On the other hand. Germany has

Those 10 ,0oe, ,oe0 Aus;rians will not
compensate for the other 10000, 900
Austro- Hungarian subjects who were
formerly al the service Of Prussia.
Germany has TO go it alone. More
over, henceforth she will find her
progress to the east and south block
ed by chain of strong, independent
and democratic states.
The rev situation is therefore not
SO menacing as it might seem. There
is enough menace in it, however. TO
demand that Germany shall be sharp
~ watched and guarded for at least
half century, lest that solid group of
100000 Teutons-who will soon be
100, 900, ,000-break out again in the
old mania of conquest.
