ment while preparations for fur
ther war goes on, with an under

mat over control of the Pacific.
So the L. S. says that we will
have a navy second to none and
gets busy building same. Great
Britain says per Lloyd George
chat the existence Of the British
Empire depends on the mastery
Of the seas, while Japan over
flowing her insular boundaries,

her alliance with Japan and
maintains that there is nothing
in the treaty inimical to the in
tereSts of the United States, and
as for war perish the thought.
Did we not all band together to
win the last one?
The query is if each Of these
world powers friends and allies

their navics especially who are
they afraid of? What is the
idea with all these expressions
Of amity friendship does not need
to be maintained with enormous
navies and clouds of airplanes.
But commerce, trade with other
nations, you see, must be pro
