SECRETARY DENBy's PLAIN
TALK.

The address of Secretary Of the
Navy DENLY before the graduating
class of the y. S. Naval Academy al
Annapolis, this year, was a clear
forceful and patriotic expression o.
the ideals of the young naval officers
should carry away with them and be
governed by in future years, 1t was
indeed splendid speech, terse and
epigrammatic in expression and high
minded in principles enunciated.
The keynote Of his speech was
struck when he said: you must be
officers, not snobs.'' In this he ex1
pressed the true American idea Of
what an American military or navel
officer should be. We want no 'Prus-
sian militarism'' in this country, we
want to class distinctions in the army
or navy and we want only such sub
servience to discipline as the ne ;es-
stiles Of the case require.
Being officers but not snobs means
trat tie superiority Of the Officer is
not personal. it is entirely official, for
personally every Ameriea1 considers
himself as good as every other amer
lean An officer Is placed over the
rlen under his command fjr military
or naval purposes only. lie is not
placed over them to show his lordly
personal superiority. Tor Americans
recognize no such thing as that. In
CIVIL life every American Is the equal
Of every other American, ard il IS
olly for disciplinary purposes that
cheers i'll the military and naval es-
Adjustments of this county are given
authority over those under their COM
mand.
An American officer can be an Off
Ger and at the same time NOT be a
snob. He can be an efficient officer,
without tyrannizing and lording ii ov-
er the men under, him. He cannot be
an efficient officer and he will not be
tolerated If he attempts to exercise
the same superiority over those under
him that is exercised by officers in
some European countries. so Secre-
tary DENLY struck the bulls eye when
he told the naval cadets Of tho yradn-
ating class that they must be Officers
but not snobs.'
He gave the cadets come very good
advice along other lines. He told Of
the glorious traditions CT the Ameri-
can navy, Of the splendid deeds Of
our naval heroes, OF the unbtcken
line Of victories that history tells and
of the untarnished name the Amer
can navy has always held.

OUR GREATEST QUESTION.


The greatest political question in
the world today Is disarmament, and
incidentally that question nas a 6is-
tinct bearing on the economic situa.
ton, for the tremendous sums now
being spent In military and naval ar
maments are eating the heart out OF
national wealth.
President Harding has decided 10
call conference OF representatives
of five leading nations of the world
for the purpose of considering this
momentous question THAT is Mr.
Harding is now feeling out these ra
tions with reference to calling such
a conference to meet at Washington,
should the replies be favorable.
Mr. Harding. while perhaps not Of
as high an intellectual standard a.
Mr.. Wilson, Is splendidly balanced
character, Of good intentions and hu,
man principles. He IL not governed
by an overweening ambition He de
sires what is best for humanity, and
wishes to impose on the world those
ideals and institutions that are fol
the good Of the whole people.
Already Great Britain and France
have received the Presidents propo
sition with favor, and depressed 1nan
clal conditions in Italy will nndnnbt
edly cause II TO be met with favor n
that nation. Some doubts are express
ed in regard TO Japan's acceptance Of
the invitation, but II is our opinion
that those doubts are LARGELY chimer
Iical.
