WASHINGTON, Nov. i'll have
discussed the obstacles in the path
way of success in the Washing
ton conference. These are discov-
cradle in the conflict Of political
policies and In the existence of inter
national distrust. A difficulty even
greater lies in the popular conception
that the present international confer
ence can be an end or more than a be-
ginning. The problem of the Pacific.
which we call the Far Eastern ques-
tion, is as complicated and as difficult
as the other Eastern question, which,
having kept Europe in an uproar from
the fall Of Napoleon to the second Bal
kan war, ended by precipitating the
supreme tragedy of the World War.
Craftsmanship in Europe totally
failed to find any way of arresting the
disintegration of Turkey or of COM
promising the rival aspirations of the
great powers. To-day we are confront
ed with situation growing out of tho
impotence of China and the clash of in
terests there of the United States,
Japan and Great Britain.
Only Two Solutions Possible
There are only two possible solu-
tions this side of war. One is an
agreement between the three nations
to work together; the other is the de-
liberate remuneration by the United
States of any policy in the Far East
which goes beyond the defense of our
territorial interests, extending through
Hawaii and Guam to the Philippines.
The United States cannot have it
or even maintain its rights in the Far
East by language alone. 1t can only
serve its own interests and the in
terests which it undertakes to champion
by recognizing the rights and inter-
ests of other nations and by appreci-
ating the necessity of associatiny it.
self with other nations in the creation
and observation of conditions conform
ing to these interests.
It would be preposterous to imagine
that the present conference which still
people conference for the limitation
of armament, can settle the Far East
ern question. 1t may discover large
area in which absolute agreement is
possible. Beyond this it ought to be
able to avoid a clash where views con-
Aict, if only by the relegation of the
issues thus raised to committees, or
committees destined to report to an
other conference. For, in the very
nature of things, there must be other
conferences.
Must Look to the Future
The supreme value of the Washing
ton conference to the world at the
present day will not lie in the promul-
cation Of a program of disarmament,
because only very inconsiderable dis
armament can conceivably result 1t
will not be found in any final solution
of the Far Eastern question, because
culties which have given rise to the
Far Eastern question.
What it may do, what it must do, is
to disclose the craftsmanship of the
world as responsive to the popular de-
mands and necessities of all countries.

will dispose Of some troublesome dis
putes which might easily have led to
war between two Of the three most
powerful naval nations in the world.
Also if successful it will result in the
sea power Of the world being put on a
basis where it will not be such a
crushing burden on the taxpayers OF
the big nations.
These are the admitted objectives
Back in President Harding's mind,
however, has been desire since his
election year ago to establish some
understanding between the nations Of
the world which would not embody
the objections which made the accept
ance by this country Of the League Of
Nations political impossibility. The
"Association of Nations" of which he
spoke so often during his campaign
and to which he alluded in his inau-
gural address, is still one Of his as
pirations.
This conference will settle, it is
hoped some Of the questions which
hitherto have been the most formidable
barriers in the path Of organizing such
full it will remove the quarrels and
soreness between two Of the nations
which would have to be parties to such
an understanding if the understanding
were to mean anything. If successful
also it would mean the end Of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance, which the
Harding Administration is firmly of
the opinion should be abrogated in the
interest Of better relations between
this country and both Japan and Great
Britain.
Real Work Next Week
After Tuesdays meeting, it is hoped,
the conference will get down to real
work, with the various questions to be
taken up, such as the integrity Of
China, Yap, Shantung, naval armament
limitation, land armament limitation,
cable and radio rights and others, re-
ferrcd to appropriate subcommittee
TOR conference and study.
Meanwhile there will be what might
be termed two major committees. The
first Of these will be on limitation Of
armament, and will consist of the Mads
OF the British. French, Italian, Japanese
and American delegations. The second
will be on the Pacific and Far Eastern
questions, and will consist of the heads
Of those same delegations, in addition
to the heads of the Chinese, Belgian
and Dutch delegations

Priests Hands Scalded
Fighting Church Fire

Fire, believed to have been started
from an overheated furnace, caused
slight damage in the basement of Our
Lady Of Loretto Roman Catholic
Church, Sackman and Pacific streets,
Brooklyn, last night. The Rev. Thomas
Salla, pastor of the church, had both
his hands badly scalded while fighting
the blaze before the arrival of firemen
The pastor and his assistant, the
Rev. Father Joseph Gotti, were in the
rectory when several women ran into
the house and announced that the
church was on fire. The women had
been worshiping in the church when
they smelled smoke.
Father Gotti ran into the church and
removed the blessed sacrament and a
relic of St. Rita, while Father Salla
and some of the neighbors wen. into
the basement to fight the blaze, which
had started in the boiler room. Father
Salla attached a hose to the hot water
faucet on the boiler and continued 70
play water on the fire, despite the fact
that the hose and nozzle soon became
very hot, until the arrival of fire ap-
paratus The blaze was quickly ex
tinguished by fremen.
