The American Plan of Reduction

It HE United States starts the conference
GU limitations OF ornaments Off with
n concrete suggestion for easing the nations
naval burdens. It is SO drastic as to he
startling even to Americans who are COM
mftted to the reduction policy. Speaking
through Secretary of State Hughes, the
United States. in effect, tells the ambassa-
doris of Great Britain and Japan that the
way TO reduce ornaments is to reduce them
Whereupon it presents n program which
calls for ten years cessation in the build
ing of naval vessels and pro rata scrapping
of present vessels, which would if 1t or any
thing even approximating it were adopted,
tighten the naval tax loads OF the co-operat-
ing rasions and initiate against wars which
immense armaments encourage
Americas program is so sweepinr i'm jts
suggestions that it is probable its adoption
by the conference would arouse n storm OF
resentment in this country TINT might de-
feat 1t. Yet it is valuable in Offering p
basis from which the conferees may get to
work upon the great questions at issue In
mat IL Will serve the end to which II has
been presented. pro rata reduction, such
as Secretary Hughes suggests, may seem
the only practical method of effccting the
purpose for which the conference was called
but there is foreseen certain difficulty of
agreement in determining that pro rata.
even it if be accepted in principle. Under
the program the United States. in its terri
torial isolation, would have II navy practi-
caily equal in strength to that OF Great
britain. with its far-Hung empire and it's
paths or ocean commerce on which its life
depends, to protect. Great Britain will
hardly deem that just proportionate
strength. Nor is Japan likely TO consent
Willingly to II plan which cuts its naval
strength to approximately one-half that OF
the United States. And the fact NAV not
be biinked that, with the strength OF the
United States reduced tu tho point sug-
gesteu, while defensively it might be strong
IL would be necessary for 1t to abandon it's
"eil-dehned foreign policies should the time
come when they were threatened
Inc hughes program, then, reduces itself
to merely working basis-a starting noint
for the conference, while at the same
time 1t is an evidence OF Americas good
faith in its suggestions for armament Iimi-
'ation' from it some sort Of an agree
hieht may cventuate, but il may be set
down here that no such drastic program.
ana perhaps no program at all, can be ac-
cepteu until those International controver-
sizes "hlch make heavy ornaments necessary

objectionable alliance between Great Britain
and Japan, which under the Hughes figures
would give them combined naval strength
nearly twice that of the United States. ter
minated, ana with unmistakable proof that
inc two great Anglo-Suxon nations will stand
together before the world, there could he
niue opposition to the plan which the con-
terence now has before it. II is to such
agreements that the conference must adj

LEGION MEMBERS AID POLICE
Lend Assistance In Combating
Crime Wave.

In conformity with the stand for
law and order which the American
Legion takes, thousands of Legion
naires are assisting the police in COM
batting the crime wave, which has
menaced life and property in larger
cities all over the country, according
to reports received at Legion national
headquarters.
New York department headquarters
promptly offered to put 5000 veterans
on the streets to assist the police when
the orgy of murder and robbery was
at its height, while during the Christ
mas season a number of Legion men,
bers aided in eliminating holdups in
the shopping district by serving as
guards in large retail stores and
wholesale houses.
Five hundred st. Louis Legionnaires
assisted the police in patroling the
city and rounding up suspicious char
acters. AT st. Paul, Mimi, the serv-
ices Of Legion members were volun-
teered in the formation of a series of
network patrols.
Legion leaders explained, that their
organization in volunteering the serv-
ices of its members for maintaining
law and order did not imply that the
police were inefficient, but that there
was recognition that an abnormal stu
alton existed under which the Legion
was pledged to act II 1t wished to live
up to the principles Of Its constitution.

In good season a tree fifteen
inches in diameter will yield sufh-
cient sap to make from one to six
quarts of strip, which in turn can be
concentrated into two to ten pounds
of sugar. Larger trees under the
same condition will produce CORE
spondingly large yields of strip and
sugar. All hard maple trees, eight
inches or more In diameter, may be
safely and profitably tapped for strip
and sugar production.
This industry is not confined to cir
cumscribed areas in New England
and New York. There are many "sug-
ar bushes" throughout eastern and
northeastern United States and south
to include North Carolina and Tennes-
see; west to northern Missouri, Iowa
and Minnesota.
A considerable number Of maple
trees of sugar-yielding species ara
found in Washington and Oregon.
