England can give him nothing
more. He il giving her every
thing, the last years OF his life,
the last Of his vitality.
This writer, as correspondent
for Charles A. Dana, in London,
reported Balfour's appearance
in the house as secretary for
Ireland a good deal more than
thirty years ago, when Tim
Healy. Redmond, John Dillon,
and O'Brien fought him, and
could not disturb him.
Time has changed him, soften

AnRlo-Irish situation. But yes

here, the. same as thirty-five
years ago under the big clock
At Westminster, Balfour was
firhtinR to get for England
WHAT SHE WANTS.
Only once he hesitated, seek
ing a word. He knows exactly
what he wants, England always
does. and he knows how to make
4 sound as though it were what
everybody OUGHT to want.
Referring to secretary
Hughes plan for ten years of
no battleship building, Balfour
sayx. s.I am the first to take up
the challenge, because of all
powers here represented, the
country / represent, as every
BODY knows, il the country most

Thus, gently, he takes from
Hughes and hands to Lloyd

william Jennings Bryan, who

Bryan and Balfour. Balfour's edu-

whan Elizabeth Was queen, and
Ralfour's relative, Lord Burleigh,
Also "a Cecil" was her minister.

although that country is first and
ALL to him.

ALL to him.
How gentle and inoffensive Bal.
four is, working with words in that
mixed. suspicious gathering as
carefully as any surgeon with his
steel ever worked inside a human
brain. He will hurt nothing. shock
ma one, but will perform his opera
ton.
For ,ysstsrday Balfour confined
himself 70 two things. First, he
made clear the situation Of the
British Empire. scattered all over
the world. Second, he described
this country, "solid, fmpregnable,
self-sufficient-all its lines of
communication protected, doubly
protected, from every conceivable
hostile attack"
mot merely one hundred and
twenty million people. not merely
the richest nation in the world
(ten years ago England didn't
expect to say that. but safe in
its position. etc"
In other words. the United
States is all right, doesn't need
big fleet. He doesn't exactly
say it. He leaves you to say it.
Then he asks you to consider
Great Britain: Suppose your
Western States, for whom you
are responsible. were suddenly
removed ten thousand miles across
the sea? Suppose you depended
on oversee trade for food and
raw materials?
Suppose you never had more
than seven weeks food for your
population
In other words. England must
have the gigantic navy that YOU
Americans do not need. Again
he leaves you to say it.
In the rear, back Of the big
table-you can just see his face
between Senator Lodges right
shoulder and Senator Underwood's
left ear-sits Samuel Gompers.
He represents working men.
and sits far in the rear. War Is
being discussed. When war
comes. those working men are
moved to the front. Statesmen.
great ones Of the earth. retire to
the rear.
That's why we have so many
wars. If the workmen stayed In
the rear and pushed statesmen to
the front line of fighting. It
wouldn't take 50 many centuries
to abolish war.
Balfour has shown YOU that
the American geography makes
a big American navy unnecessary.
He has shown you that the geog-
raphy of the British Empire
makes a huge British navy in
evitable.
Next comes. only second in I'M
portance. his view of submarines.
He objects, for England, to
Mr.. Hughes submarine program.
England will oppose use of mod
ern great submarines that are
submersible battleships, with ten
thousand miles radius. A dozen
of them might wipe England's
commercial fleet from the seas,
and starve Great Britain. He
doesn't say that, but does say
that the small submarines are
innocent, because they are in
tended for defense. You have
them under your nose and send
them out when fleets come to
attack you; you don't send them
far off to attack others.
The giant submarines are for
attack. They could rise to the
surface, lombard a city or q
fleet, twenty-five miles away,
then sink out of sight. They
keep England awake at night.
