HAYS ON DISARMAMENT
Noted Engineer Says Uncle Sam
Must Have Greater Navy.

John Hays Hammond, in recent
speech before a technical society
showed the way clearly toward that
naval holiday which the world needs
and over which the senate has voted
to seek a conference.
Mr.. Hammond said in substance
that the greatest and most powerful
nation on earth today is our own. Not
only that, but we have on our side a
great weight of moral force We are
naturally the leaders in any d.sarma
ment plan. And yet we cannot simp-
ly disarm and wait for other nations
to follow us That would be folly.
However we can at a conference Of
powers say that we do not propose to
let any other nation on earth surpass
us in the size of efficiency OF its
navy. We intend to maintain the
greatest navy in the world, and are
amply endowned both financially and
intellectually to do this.
Therefore any nation which aspires
to a great navy must accept the stu
alton that no matter what navy she
may build we propose to go her one
better. But we are willing to call for
naval holiday and to reduce arma
ments to a minimum if Others are
winning to do likewise.
There is good sense in this pro-
posal Of Mr.. Hammonds, Having no
selfish ends to serve, we simply
pledge ourselves either to reduce
ornaments by means of naval holi-
day or outdo the highest bidder in
race for supremacy. We can do
either, but prefer to celebrate with
all the nations a holiday The sug
gestion sounds as though it would
