PROGRESS ON DIsAE1AazENr.

Disarmament continues to make prog ress If the action of the foreign rela- tions committee of the senate is basis for judgment. And it is apparently the belief of that committee, as indicated by tho recommendations it will make to the senate, that whatever move Is made in the way of reducing our armament should be done under an agreement reached with the other two leading naval powers.
 The Borah proposition for a naval hcl- iday has undergone some changes. Nev- ertheloss it is indicated that there is a willingness and desire to engage in dis armament provided others will do SO. The effort at first was to have this country start out alone, set an example to the world and anticipate that the others would follow. Under the plan we would make severe cut in our naval con struction, thereby reducing our expendi- lures and at the same time decreasing our additions to the fleet, but that did not obiigate the others. Rather did il give them a chance to forge ahead ali the more quickly and with less outlay We would in fact be inviting the others to take headstart and then at some future time wake up to the fact that VI had played the other fellows ganie
 What is desired is to stop the everlast ing competition in the building of war ships, policy which is bound to mea1 an increased expenditure each year ant yet the nations would hold the sam relative position as to naval strength That appears to be the effort of the for eiEn relations committee in its recon 'inendation to the senate. Under the ide: of bringing about a cessation of maya construction or at least a reduction, 1 would mean that the navies would re main practically the same as they ars that attention would be given to replace ments rather than increases and the bur densone outlays for, the navy as fore casted by competition would be eiiminat ed
 Such policy must be accomplishe however by an understanding anon the nations and certainly there is7 n better way of ailaying suspicious tha by making such deal and living up | its requirements.

 The great trUuhae 1t seems about the whole matter is that he isn't following me adxtee of some wonld4be cabinet mak- ers. that he hasn't hastened to accept the srggestions offered whether invited or moi and that he is apparently determined to set the best cabinet material obtainable |.
