that if one mas nothing but dollar,

A DISARMAMENT POLICY.

| n a recent address in Philadelphia.
! Gen. Tasker III. Bliss mado these INFER
esting suggestions. as proposals which
the United States might make to the
! other powers for the promotion of
world peace:
we will agree with you that each
nation that so desires shall keep and
build whatever frontier and coast
fortihcations II wishes. Fortihcations
cannot stride across the earth, devas-
tating fields and destroying cities.
We will agree with you that each
nation may maintain a navy. No navy
without an army can conquer and
bold foreign territory.
we will agree with you on q date
when we shall simultaneously abolish
any military system which is solely
necessary for international war.
We will agree with you on q date
as remote as the existing conditions
make absolutely necessary when we
shall begin the grad n reduction of
our armed forces u,s they are at
the limit necessary for the maintcn-
ance OF internal order. In coming to
an agreement about this we will ac-
cept any reasonably Just principle of
proportion, provided ii results in a
reasonable and material reduction, but
admitting i'm advance that reduced
ornaments can no more be equalized
than excessive ones. We will trust to
! the good sense OF the common peoples
OF the nations, who suffer most from
excessive armamcnts, to see 10 it that
when the movement has once begun
1t In pushed an rapidly as may be to
| its proper limit.
I'VE will agree with you on the
| proper amounts OF material to be
kept on hand for the reduced forces,
and we will further agree with you to
cease the manufacture of material
until the amounts now on hand are
reduced TO what we agree upon as
necessary for the reduced forces"
Some of thcso proposals are novel,
particularly the one permitting ma
vies Of any size. provided armies are
limited. All of them are worth dis
cussing at this time. particularly,
when the League Assembly at Gene
va has made disarmament a universal
topic. and all the world is looking TO
J the United States for some word as
to lis future military policy.
