Japan's Hesitation

Many conservative japanese
statesmen are shying at coupling
discussion of the question of the
Pacific with discussion of the
question of naval disarmament.
They say: "Why not also discuss he
Balkan question, the Anatohan
question and the Silesian question
and their repercussions on .disarma-
ment?"
The Japanese rejoinder would
have more weight if naval armament
figured materially in the settlement
of the Balkan, the Anatolian and
the Silesian questions. In Europe
to-day there is only one great naval
power--Great Britain. Naval con-
struction competition has ceased.
The German and Russian navies
. have been wiped out. France and
Italy do not seek mastery on the
seas.
What naval competition there is
in the world is kept alive by the IN
certaint;es of the Far Eastern stu
alton. The United States, as a Pa
cific power, has to consider its ca
pacities for self-defense in that
ocean. We have the Philippines and
Guam to protect. We have also the
Open Door policy to maintain. Japan
has her national interests to care
for and her economic future to con-
slider. She has fleet about half as
strong as ours on paper, but nearly
equal to ours when her advantages
Of position are taken into con-
sideration.
Japan also has defensive al
lance with Great Britain. That
alliance, both signatories say,
is not directed against the United
+ States and will never become opera
tive against us. The British domin-
ions fronting on the Pacific-Can-
: ada, Australia and New Zealand
all oppose renewal of the alliance,
Canada Internationally and the
other two except with notifications
o. agreeable to America. The Union
of South Africa favors a Pacific
concert which will include the
s United States.
Great Britain, Japan and the
+ United States--the three great ma
val powers-are thus vitality inter
3 ested in an examination and adjust
ment of their relations in the Pacific
sphere. The size Of their respective
naval establishments is determined
at present by the Pacific situation
and will continue to be determined
by it. General relief from the bur
dens of naval expansion can come
only from an agreement based on
Qualification of the policies of these
Il three powers with regard to thu
Chinese Open Door, to Siberia ant
Y Mongolia and to the economic de
velopment of the backward region
of Eastern Asia.
All the powers invited to tn
Washington conference, Japan ex
cepted, welcome a genuine examina
ton of the causes of dissension il
the Far East, now more of trouble

hold out against discussion of the
real obstacles to naval disarmament
But if she does so she will invite hel

diplomacy.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: What is the navy's greatest
present need? Some will answer air
craft, others airplane carriers, others
cruiser submarines, and so on indef-
nitely; but no one seems to have any
exact or authoritative data on which
to base his reply. Does not this d.
versity of opinion therefore really in
dictate that the navy's greatest present
need Is, above all, an organization ca
pable of making comprehensive war
plans and then clearly presenting to
Congress and the public the facts in
regard to the most efficient and eco
nomical tools for carrying out these
plans, together with the reasons why
these tools are best?
Doubtless certain degree of secrecy
is necessary in regard to war plans
and the reason for selecting certain
tools for carrying them out, but if the
amount of data in regard to our sup
posedly secret naval matters which are
thorities of all interested foreign gov
ernments were equally available to the
people of the United States at large
there would be much clearer compre-
hension of naval matters among the
voters of the country. Moreover, most
of the published interpretations of the
data made public in regard to naval
matters must under the present regula-
tions be made by persons with rela-
lively little naval knowledge or expert
ence.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-07-19
Inform, the People

This brings up the second greatest
need of the navy-namely, the removal
of the present restrictions which have
SO long prevented public discussion of
naval matters by the class of people
best qualified to discuss them intelli-
gently--that is, naval officers them
selves. Even if certain secret and con-
tidential matters were made public as
result of such discussionsy the harm
done by this publication of secret and
confidential matters would in all prob
ability be far more than Offset by the
benefit derived from this unrestricted
public discussion. What the navy gets
from Congress depends only partly on
what the Secretary of the Navy asks
for; the rest depends on what the
people Of tho country, as expressed
through their representatives in Con-
gress, think the navy really needs, and
the people of the country are badly in
need of accurate information and in
telligent, we'll informed guidance in
forming their opinions,
Both these needs of the navy have
already been many times pointed out
by our greatest living naval officer, Ad-
miral Sims. But since reorganiza-
ton of the administrative departments
of the government is now under con-
sideration, if not actually under way
the present appears particularly APP
propriate time for all friends of the
navy to agitate by every means for q
reorganization of the Navy Depart
ment.
During the piping times of peace
many of us forgot our past military err
rors as shown by the tests of war. We
forgot how lucky we were during the
last war in being able to hide behind
the British navy until we were ready
to act ourselves, and how even then
the British navy bore the greater part
of the burden of the war at sea. I'm
doubtedly We helped, and helped ma
terially, but our naval forces were the
indispensable reserves rather than the
main body.

FIRE RISK ON THE FARM.

This being fire prevention week, a mention, or
some of the causes of fires in rural districts is timely.
From statistics gathered by the department Of agri-
ulture it appears that farm fires cost the country
about $40, 600, 900 a year. In 1918.a at least one-third
Of the fires on farms were from causes classed as
preventable, over one-third from causes partly pre-
ventable, and the remainder from causes unknown,
but quite certain to have been quite largely prevent
able. Fire fighting on a farm is almost a hopeless
task. 1t is impossible on the ordinary farm to pro-
vide adequate equipment or adequate help to man
such equipment were it present, and the farm fire
that gets a good start is certain to be disastrous.
The one satisfactory method, and this applies to
cities as we'll as to farms, is that Of prevention.
caused fire damage to the extent of nearly two mill
lion dollars; sparks on roofs, one million; careless
use Of matches, one million explosions from petro-
leum and its products, three-iourths of a million !;
and from stoves, furnaces, etc, nearly seven hundred
thousand. Most Of these fires were entirely pre-
ventablc.
Among the items listed as partly preventable
appears the loss from lightning, amounting to al
most four million dollars; and the department of
agriculture is responsible for the statement that
constructed and placed lightning rods
would have prevented nearly all of this damage. Out
ct all of the losses by lightning on FARMS, not one
was on a building protected by lightning rods.
The statistics collected by the department. show
that the country is paying enormous toll for fire
losses on farms, which with a little care and a little
could easily be prevented. Methods of
construction should be improved, and above all
things carelessness is to be deplored. If individuals
were taught to be scrupulously careful wherever a
fire might start, that would reduce the loss from
fires almost to the vanishing point.

FLATS WANTED.

Persons who have had occasion to seek flats, or
rooms for light Housekeeping are convinced that
there is a golden opportunity for some one i'll Grand
Forks to supply apartments of this character to per-
sons OF moderate means. Single rooms appear TO be
fairly numerous. But the small family in search
of two or three rooms, with bath, and possibly with
kitchenette, is having a hard time Of it.
The Herald is not instructing real estate men
er builders in how their business should be handled,
but it is apparent to anyone that within a few blocks
of a business center of the city there are sites now
occupied by old structures which have been patched
and toggled up, which, if occupied by plain, but sub
%stantial and convenient buildings, containing apart
nents suitable for small families. would yield a
handsome rental, and that these could be kept occu-
Cied all of the time.
! Building of this kind, as we'll as of other classes,
has been retarded during the past few years by con-
ditions which applied to the country generally. But
the conditions are being adjusted, and it is to be
hoped that before the beginning of another school
y car this need, which is a very real and pressing one.

apartment houses such as have been mentioned.

CLEAN UP.

The mayor Of Savannah, Georgia, has issued a
proclamation of which the injunction "Clean up
Faint up" is the keynote. The proclamation breathes
the right spirit, for it presents to the community the
desirability of making those improvements which,
though often small when considered separately, bulk
largely in determining the status of a community,
and which, if observed generally, would go far to-
ward solving the present problem of Unemployment.
During the period of extremely high prices
much building that would otherwise have been done
has been deferred, and there has been a quite general
neglect Of repair work. The tendency has been
quite strongly in the direction of shabbiness. That
is a bad thing for a community.
The statement was made during the war that
in certain commando the men were required to shave
every day unless absolutely insuperable obstacles
presented themselves. 1t was not supposed Cat the
! mere act of shaving would cause a man to fight bet
ter than he would have done otherwise. But the
] idea was that in shaving the soldier underwent a
! process of freshetling up. The clean, fresh face
! called for the freshening up of his entire person
! His attire must be put in order and his equipment
! put into shape. And in spite OF dirt and the gener,
] ally uncomfortable features Of camp or trench life
I the man who had undergone this process felt like a
| r1eWr creature, and was able to begin his day more
9ourageously and hopefully than if he had permitted
thimself to drift into slouchy habits.
A few bits Of lumber and a few gallons Of paint
will do much, not alone for the appearance, but fo1
the morale of a community. The neighborhood that
has been gingered up by the making of a few i'm
prove1nents will find itself in much better shape tc
tackle the really different problems of existence
Hence the slogan "Clean up-Paint up" is a good
one for any community.
