Washington, Nov. 25.-The United
States today was preparing to cope
with a new danger to success of the
arms limitation conference. Three
was tendency or the part of some
delegates to delay settlement of the
naval armament limitation question
for the apparent purpose of making
a better bargain on far eastern mat
tiers. While the Chinese angle of the
far east problem presented difficult
ties of it's own today, these were dis
tinct from the danger seen by the
United States. An American official
told the United Press that in some
quarters there seemed to be an inten-
tion to withhold assent to the naval
program until all angles of the far
east question had been canvassed.
The game, as this official termed 1t,
is to see what terms can be arranged
regarding the Anglo7Japanese alli-
ance, Japanese and other foreign
spheres of influence in China, Siberia
and elsewhere, and If these terms
are not satisfactory to refuse agree
ment to Hughes program until salts
factory bargains can be made. The
American delegation is determined to
forestall this situation, If possible.

for the payment OF an indemnity
nine or ten times larger than the
interests of the debts which they
themselves are unable to pay, al
though winners of the war. How
can a suitable solution be found
to this problem?
8. Russia, who is not a van
quished enemy. but a fallen friend,
has been attacked and circum-
vented in every possible way.
Attempts were first made to recon
stitute the ancient regime. Then
Russia was blockaded and isolated
But the resurrection of the old
regime is extremely unlikely. and
the blockade has been almost as
harmful to Europe as to Russia.
Without recognizing the soviet
government (Which would be a
great mistake), would it be possi-
BILE to lay down the principle that
its recognition is subordinate only
to the respect and observance of
international laws? In other words,
is 1t possible to solemnly repudi-
ate. once and for all. that Shylock
policy which subordinates the re-
sumption of relations with Russia
to the latters recognition of the
pre-war debts contracted by the
czarist government?

g. The collapse of Europe neces-
sarily causes a state of great de-
preston in America. For the most
important center of production is
always Europe. After the war
there are about thirty states all
showing a marked tendency to iso-
late themselves. There is a gen.
eral attempt at cornering raw ma
terials; there is an ominous de-
crease In production, coupled with
an increase of consumption. The
United States has acted wisely in
refusing to lend any more money
to the states Of Europe. By grant
ing fresh credits to further a pro-
gram based on folly it would have
rendered itself responsible for new
disorders and fresh ruins. But
how can We now build up a new
regime of life?

been yanquished and the con-
querors of the European continent

est errors committed on both sides
and preventing the decadence of
Europe and the economic ruin of
the world?
These problems cannot be dis
cussed: some of them are not fit

not be discussed without placing
in an embarrassing position those
taking part in the discussion. But

Postmaster General Cortelyou called
attention to the fact that the year be-
fore the actual cost to the United
States of ocean mail service was
$2,965.624. while the proceeds were
$6,00S,SO7. However, the mails were

or was up to 1914; Great Britain pays
s5,00O,000 annually for carrying the
foreign mails. In 1915 Japan paid
$12, 100000 in subsidies for overseas
navigation. and $1,250,000 for coasting
and near-sea service. This has been
a powerful factor In building up the
Japanese merchant marine. This pay
was for both mail service and direct
subsidy.
The United States grants no sub
sides; only compensation for the
transportation of foreign mails. I'm
til 1920 the great bulk of this COM
pensation was paid to foreign steam
ship lines. Much is paid to them
now.
The cost of transmitting the United
States mails to and from foreign
countries has increased enormously.
From 1902 to 1911 the cost averaged
between $1,125.000 and S1.450.00O.
From 1914 to 1920 1t averaged be-
tween $3,150,000 and $4,125,000. In
1920 it was $4,002,193.
Canada, New Zealand, Australia and
South Africa pay large amounts an
nually in the form Of mail subsidies.
If section "a of the Jones merchant
marine act is repealed. the American
merchant marine must be maintained
by a system of subsidies.
Will Congress adopt this program

Opposes Navy Reduction.
To the Editor Of The Star:


The American Navy, which would
very soon have become the most DOW
erful in the world, was built for the
protection of our coasts, and not for
conquest. The British navy Is now
first upon the seas, but England Is
in financial difficulties of so serious
a nature. that she must, in any case,
almost entirely, cease to build capital
ships, from sheer lack of money. For
this reason. the command of the seas
would have fallen to the United
States in a very few years, auto
matically and without an effort. We
should thus have become absolutely
safe from foreign attack. Under
these circumstances, to propose to re-
duce our Navy. to actually destroy a
number of powerful warships, built
for our own defense. would be suicidal
