the benefits that will accrue to
mankind if the conference is success
ful-the relief that will come from
the staggering burdens of taxation
if the nations agree to refrain from
or to restrict to minimum the
sinking of millions of dollars in the
present feverish race to build more
battleships, and cruisers, always
bigger and more POWERFUL; and the
relief from international tension, for
with nations continually augmenting
their war machines, their militarists
become more and more impatient
to test out their playthings.
But, under present plans, the
Washington conference will get
down to the fundamental causes of
the maintenance by the powers of
huge ornaments, and try to wipe
out these factors, which also are
potential causes of new war.
This effort is to be made in the
discussion of Pacific and far eastern
questions in the conference. To
the Pacific and far east has shifted
the clash of interests of the world
powers, and, consequently, it is in
these far-reaching areas where
lies the danger Of a new war.
The conference is expected to pro-
coed first with the discussions of
Pacific and far eastern problems,
for it is the belief of the United
States government that the posi-
bility of an effectual agreement
for limitation of armament largely
hinges on a settlement of the far
eastern question.
Much of the preliminary work on
the limitation of armament question
is expected to be carried on by the
negotiators concurrently with the
consideration of far eastern ques-
lions, so, as the situation in the
Pacific and far east clears up, the
conference can Immediately proceed
to try and reach an agreement on
limitation of armament.
Washington for weeks has been
in furry of excitement about the
impending conference.
For days, distinguished foreign
plenipotentiaries have been arriving
here for the conference. They have
been met at Union station by rep
resentatives of the American State,
War and Navy Departments with all
the usual pomp and ceremony of
