: British View

The Westminster Gazette says that
his statement gives cause for "the
very gravest misgivings and disap-
pointment."
''The reservation that a restricted
program of battleship replacement be
carried on from year to year in order
to save the armament works from
going to rot would be a direct attack
upon the essential principle of the
American scheme.
lie pest hope for the world is that
this specialized plan will go to rot
and that at the end of a decade it
may seem worth n%obody's while to
put it in order again. In any case,
even if we should have to put it in
order, Great Britain would be at no
disadvantage as compared with either
America or Japan.
"The suggested reservations amounts
to a proposal that we deliberately
keep alive not only the vested inter-
ests of the war, but the whole spirit
and tradition of international naval
competition as a sacred flame, ready
to burst into full blaze at the moment
the holiday is over. We I cor-incec
that, if the real issue is graspcd, public
opinion in Great Britain will never con
sent to pressing this reservation, which
so patiently knocks the bottom out of

Armament stocks fell yesterday.
Estimates have run as high as one
billion dollars, in computing the loss
to United States producers of raw
material and manufacturers, together
with transportation interests, through
a ten-year naval holiday. The ship
yards, plate and steel industry
come Immediately to mind. Back of
them lie the copper producers, and
the infinite variety of makers of
steel and brass and copper products,
back of them the machine tool indus
try, and so on throughout an ever
spreading network of industries fur
nishing the material and supplies of
battleships, and the clothing and
provender of men to man them.
The result of the adoption and en-
forcement of the Hughes plan for the
reduction of n%avies, would be like
sweeping out a gigantic industry.
Possibly nowhere in the country
would it be felt more directly than
in the belt of industry contiguous to

The day has passed when we can
shut our eyes and stop our ears to
the claims of the utilities companies.
The fact that they have become the
objects of rigid control by the public
make them also, in a sense, public
wards. The distrust which in former
days attached to them has passed
away with all, save a few people who
still think it popular to insist that
public utility companies have no
right and that to speak a word in
their defense is to be guilty of an
impolite act.-Editorial from Wash

SPECTACULAR PARTISAN PYRO-
TECHNICS
Secretary Hughes's High COckalorum
Speech Favoring Scrapping of
Navy A~stonishes the World
Caused a Billion Dollars Loss

Having deserted the Allies in the
World War and rejected the Peace
Treaty ending the war and imposing
the penalties and PREPARATIONS on the
Germans, the high brow Republican
politicians had to make some spectac-
ular display to gain world wide no
toriety to throw the League of Ma
tions and Woodrow Wilson into the
back ground in the public mind.
So a conference of disarmament was
planned. President Harding invited
Great Britain, France, Italy and
Japan. L. s., big select five. Belgium,
Spain and Holland were invited to
look on. The other forty nations are
too small to notice by the I. 5. II
other a~ristocratic nations.
These smaller nations were given a
saw in the League of Nations like the
o man is given a vote in the United
States. but they have no big navy, so
thev are not worth of notice like the
poor man.
The time set for this select five act
comedy in which the Republican big
politicians were to be made world
heroes was last Saturday. President
Harding made a notable address OF
welcome. Charles f. Hughes, Secre-
tarv of State, opened the conference
bv relating the history of previous
attempts to reduce war machinery by
international agreement, which was
almost the same written by Hamilton
Holt. editor of the Independent n
published in last weeks Penns Grove
Record. Somewhat of a copylst.
The establishment came when he
proposed a 10-year naval holiday by
proposing to not only scrap old war
ships. with a total tonnage of 5S3,3lo
but new ones being built Oh the Del
ware three at the New York Ship
yard in Camden, and two at the Phil
adeIphia Navy Yard.
Into the discard, under the program,
go Sc capital ships, built OF building,
of three nations, and the sea fighting
tonnage of three nations is decreased
1,878,043 tons.
In this reduction, America agrees
to take the lead. This nation, Hughes
said. will scarp thirty big ships, built
or under construction, with a total
tonnage of 845,740.
Great Britain, Hughes says, should
abandon % built or projected capital
ships, it'll a total tonnage of 583,375
tons.
Japan, with a most ambitious naval
building program, must throw into the
junk heap ten new capital ships,
either in the progress of construction
o + projected, and sink ten of her older
vessels. Nippon's tonnage reduction
would be 448,928 tons.
Outstanding in the American pro-
gram is that the reduction is made
immediate.
Hughes suggested that the reduc-
tions be made within three months
after an agreement is signed. Then,
if the program is approved, the big
ship lineup of the three powers will
be:
United States, IS capital ships;
tonnage, 500,650.
Great Britain, % capital ships;
tonnage, 604, 450.
Japan, 10 capital ships; tonnage,
299, 700.
Thus the relative strength of the
three nations will be maintained vir-
tually as at present.

day had the following to say on

Democrats Inaugurated Disarmament
Policy. Hopes For It's Success

POHcy. Hopes For Its success
The attitude of the Democratic
party past and present on the policy
of the limitation Of ornaments was
well expressed officially in the follow
ing resolution adopted at a meeting
of the Democratic National Com
mittee at St. Louis on November /:
Whereas, The people of the United
States and the world are burdened
with enormous taxes due in large
part to the preparation for and con-
sequences of war, which the govern
ment of the United States expended
90 per cent of its income for
past, present and future, and
Whereas, The Democratic party in
a~ugurated the policy for limitation of
ornaments, first by legislative pro-
vision in 1916 and secondly through
Article VIII of the covenant of the
League Of Nations, which was pro-
posed by a Democratic President and
Incorporated therein as a result Of his
efforts, and
Whereas, The Democratic minori-
ties in the Senate and in the House,
with the aid Of Progressive Republi-
cans, forced the administration to call
the forthcoming conference on dis
armament,
Resolved, That the Democratic Ma
tional Committee expresses its graft
fscation at the assembling of the
Disarmament Conference and further
expresses, the hope for its complete
success.
The Penn's Grove record., 1921-11-18

on the American proposal for the linn
itation of naval ornaments may be
summarized somewhat as follows:
The Japanese steel and iron indus
try, nearly half of which is dependent
upon armament production, will be
hard hit if the limitation plan is real
lied. A suspension of war ship build
ing by three of the most important
yards in Japan would NEAR the I'M
employment of t%wo-thirds of their
workmen, estimated at $4,000 persons.

Nc speech ever made by any mar
in the worlds history ever destroyed
more values than that of Secretary of
State Charles E. Hughes last Satur-
day. The shrinkage of a billion dol
lar values in stocks in companies in
terested in armament manufactures
in two days exceeded the ravages of
war. Compare the destructive values
and others under Harding to the con-
~structive values under President Will
son. Is your blind partisan fealty
stronger than your pocket nerve? Oh,

How much richer will the nation be,
by the wealth owned by individuals,

Strong partisan machines are built
in cities on political plumber, social
and business caste and prejudices, but
in the country districts of the nation
where there is freer business rela-
tons, intelmarriages, social alliances
in Churches and lodges, a political
machine on blind partisanship is hard
to maintain. Local, State and Ma
tional issues are partly new at every
election, or rather different issues be-
come more or less paramount which
effects individuals so they become
more or less, Independent voters at
