surely be in Washington before Christ
mas.
The British appeals directed TO him
regarding the Washington conference
demonstrates how interested the Empira
is and how greatly II wishes for the
81 ccess OF the conference. The apparent
perfect accord between the British and
American delegates has been source
OF great satisfaction here. and Judging
from the sentiment expressed on this
side. the conference has brought the two
nations closer together than was thought
possible.
Considering every contingency OF the
near future says the Observer. 'it IA
in our view OF vital Importance that
Lloyd George should make the personal
acquaintance of President Harding and
Secretary Hughes, and he should have
the straightest conversations with them"
The clouds which gathered with Pre-
mier Brands speech followed by Lord
C'rzon's much criticised warning to
France arc cited 10 the Prime Minister
rs further reason why he should go TO
Washington and smooth away the un-
fortunate reactions i'm the mysterious
way in which he has done such things
In the past.
I'll! as the Prime Minister can be
spared from Downing Street while the
Irish negotiations are still in midchaunci
and their fate uncertain. says the Sum
day Times, "the turn that has been
given to the discussions at Was iington
renders it Imperative that he should
cross the Atlantic without delay IL the
conference is not TO peter out inslori-
ously."
The Sunday Erpress perhaps best ex-
presses the feeling here when it says:
"'The helpless nations in Europe gaze
across the Atlantic and strain their eyes
in the hope OF seeing a dove bearing an
olive branch 70 their stricken shores.
They see an eagle, but not dove. Their
hearts sink as the chilly winds from
Washington strike their foreheads. Is
1t too late TO Christianize Washington
and save Europe? There .s one faint
hope. The Prime Minister may yet be
set free to tell the tragic truth at Wash
ington."

Sims Says Battleship
Is Backbone No Longer

XT TATERBURY, Conn. Nov.
w 27.-"The batileslip is no
longer the backbone Of the
navy" declared Admiral William S.
Sims. president of the Naval War
College, speaking here tonight.
THE battleship has no defence
against airplanes and no offensive
power against airplane carriers
which have speed enough to keep
away" he declared.
II heartily approve of the dis
armament programme. because If
the tremendous cost Of the 1916
building programme is saved and
small portion Of the money is eX-
pended on airplane carriers the de-
fensive strength of tho navy will
be greatly increased"
Admiral Sims asserted that the
nation which controls the air will
control the surface below, whether
it he on land or sea, and this con-
troll will determine victory.

"No Hostility to League"

Such conclusions seem premature, or.
ct the very least, there Is no positive
warrant for assuming this 70 be Pres
ident Harding's precise intention. But
he evidently looks forward to a sequence
OF International conferences meeting al
frequent intervals on basis similar to
that OF the present conference for the
consideration of outstanding interna
tional problems. Yet there is no hos
tility In his mind toward the League o.
Nations.
Naturally the reeliza ton OF his III
tentions depends upon the achievement
Of substantial success in this gathering
and naturally the success of the WASH
ington conference cannot be .lrmeC

sideration have been solved in principle.

Slication OF tSe principles already erun-

tonight that the right of
the British navy TO command

Value Of su ubmarines.

France wants submarines. italy will
want submarines to equal Frances ton
mage, according TO the present outlook.
The nassing OF submarines based at
near by ports 70 the Suez Canal and
Gibraltar would preclude the entrance
Of British war or commercial fleets TO
the Mediterranean Another thing
France Is In n much better position 10
menace England In a submarine war
than was Germany. Germany's SUBJ
marine bases, all her big bases In fact
are in the North Sea. It was possiols
TO confine her submarine activities n
some extent 70 this srslere Of opera
tions. But France has bases for sub
marine activities In the straits OF Dover,
the English Channel and Tor full ac-
tivlties in the Atlantic. A submarine
war between France and England would
be different matter from the last war
with Germany.
France could send submarines from
her bases at Duniirk and Calais almost
right into the British south harbors. as
they arc but few miles away. while
the German submarine had 20 cross the
North Sea before attempting any such
movement. From Cherbourg. Brest.
Lorient and Rochofort, France could
send her submarines into the Atlantic
without opposition.
The Mediterranean bases are at Mar
settles, Toulon. Ajaccio and Bonfauio.
in Corsica and Algiers. Oran and Bizerta
In Africa. A submarine campaign by
France would be very serious thing
FOR England.
Tho French have explained that with
her great capital ship strength England
could easily blockade the French coast,
and why should not France have great
submarine tonnage TO be able to turn
the tables on England?
IL has been said France desires one
moro capital ship to increase her pres
.nt feet to eight ships or one squadron
composed Of two divisions. II Is gener-
ally supposed that by these eight ships
France wishes to be able 10 replace the
ships on hand when the time comes with
the maximum sized ships allowed under
tire Hughes pan OF $4,000 tons each.
This would bring the tonnage of France
UP to q 900 for capital ships only.
while al present she actually possesses
only about 1921 in seven ships.
should the Italians demand the same
tonnage it would increase their present
total from about $4,000 to 100000 tons.

Jnkling of Jnrnn's Attitude.

Some mixing Of what Japans attitude
will be Is indicated by the position she
took when the four Power corsortiu;n
was being arranged. 1t is also suggested
by the japanese Interpretation of the
Lansing-Ishii agreement as giving to her
special advantages in these provinces
because OF gcograph ical propinqu!ty.
When the negotiations for the organ
iZation OF the consorti M were in prog
ress Jaran in q memorandum insisted
that she be permitted to extend loans 70
end exert her individua, influence for her
economic security and national defenc
over certain railroads which should be
exempted from the consortium. The
japanese memorandum states:
- The South Manch,-rian RAILWAY

way. are unaffected b. the loans to be-

East about which the British are con-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.--The diary of
this conference might we'll be kept in
parallel columns. Over one column
should be written, ''Things to BE
Remembered" and over the other,
Things TO Be Forgotten
At the head of the former column
might stand some such entry as this:
"A powerful American team is har-
messed to the conference, In readiness
TO haul it out of any rut into which
1t may sink, or to drag It vigorously
through miry places"
At the beginning Mr.. Hughes, the
chief position, cracked his whip and
the conference went Off at trot.
Then NJ. BRAND. Mr.. Balfour and Mr..
Hughes together gave it another tug.
and brought it further forward An
accumulation of impedments some
natural. somo artificial. seemed likely
to retard further progress when, on
Friday afternoon, the American driver
in chief turned the heads of his team
in the direction OF broad highway
leading toward a fair outlook.
"Americun Team Lusty."
II Is true that the conference is not q
zone horse show" or even a "one team
show; but the American team are 81
iust1, md ara oI,,-fo,,sY,y ao tr+ar.,t.i I,
pulling together and in pulling IA con-
ference on high ground that those who
forget Il are apt to be sorely mistaken
This is em.nently thing 10 be remem.
bered.
Another thing not 70 be forgotten is
| that should any members Of other teams
jib, or should their distant drivers try
to rein them in, the American team
may be found strong enough to pull the
conference merrily forward In their de-
spite.
The statement from the White House
on Friday afternoon was rather In tn.
nature of q hint than the announcement
OF positive programme. 1t showed
that President Harding and his advisers
do not regard this conference as an end
In Itself, but rather as a starting point
for a wider process of untrammelled as
sociation Of tho United States with othe;
nations 10 promote the peace and pros
perity OF the world. The suggestion that
the German and other Governments
might be requested TO accept whstevei
resolutions or agreements the confer
ence may ultimately adopt has been in
tcrpreted in some quarters as foreshad-
owing an invitation 10 German delegates
to attend tho Washington conference.
