EFT us take an example in Europe The British
l. believe that it necessary for the restoration
of prosperity for the return Of even toerabe living
conditions, that Germany be permitted to regain her
old commercial health They believe that only in this
way will hatred of France be extngushed and peace
be perpetuated They advise the French to change
their tactics to assist rather than hamper German
recovery and they the French that such
change of policy will not only protect France but
give the only possible guarantee against German
Of revenge otherwise inevitable.
Rut the Frenchman has his country twice
wantonly invaded in half century, he counts the
decline of his population and the wreckage OF his
cities and he that if Germany becomes strong
commercially and industraly, then she can become
strong mitarily and employ that strength in
new INVASION In such situation the Frenchman
does not accept British reasoning; he will not yield
to British nsisence and have ever recurring crises
between British and French statesmen, Of which the
recent debate Upper Slesa is only the latest.
Now in the way, what is the use OF attempt
ing from the American standpoint to convince the
Japanese that the American view is wiser that in the
long run the "open door" in China will prove the
better course for Japan and obviate the otherwise
certain struggle between China and Japan, when
China in a future perhaps remote achieves the
sary organization to employ her gigantic resources
in a war of liberation We may be right, just as the
British may be right in Europe, but we have less
chance of persuading the Japanese than the British
have of convincing the French In both cases the
immediate profit is plainly for the moral pleader and
for "he other fellow" this is sufficient since the first
cost must be his
The problem of peace in the Pacific will
not be materially affected by any agreement reached
at Washington to limit naval construction. 1t would
not be affected by any agreement to reduce military
strength such agreement conceivable, as is
not Given present strength given imme
date and ultimate resources, given the proof of
capacity to organize supplied by the world war, given
the attitude of Canada and Australia, Japan will not

Must Not Be Credulous.
IF there is in the Pacific we shall have to
i carry it to Asia. But there will be war in the
Pacific if insist that Japan shall agree give up
those advantages which she has acquired in recent
years in China and in Siberia and accept status Of
equality with and with the rest OF the world in the
markets Of tho Far East 1t would be a profound
pity il we should in Washington give credence the
legends accepted in Paris, legends that the
people of the world prepared down arms"

Disarmament Conference Bargain Counter--Simonds

to give up national interests and selfish advantages,
to seek peace at any sacrifice.
We ought to know now how foolish such
legends We ought to perceive that the French seek
ing security the Rhine not prepared to risk
future invasion in order to remove an obstacle to
future peace We have how the Poles felt, we
have Witnessed Runanian views expressed in Budapest
and in Kchinev, italian emotions to Fiume and as
the upper valleys of the Tyrol We are today see
ing the Greek armies fighting in Asia to realize aspira-
tons which are more than 1000 years old. Every
country in the world believes in peace is eager to
it, but every epeople in the world has an
irreducible minimum of national advantage which it
perhaps accurately calls national necessity, which it
will sacrifice to the of universal appeasement
and only be forced to- sacrifice by war,
which, in ITSELF would destroy the dream of universal
peace. ,
A Pacific settlement is possible if will retire
all our policy of the "open door" and accept the
Japanese claim for special privilege in China and all
of the Far East But, since the Japanese are resolved
to fight rather than part with this advantage, no other
settlement is possible. Since our part are
unwilling to concede such advantage to Japan no
settlement is possible. What remains possible is a
transaction. Neither side at the moment desires war;
neither the public of the United States that of
Japan is demanding decision by battle, on the con-
trary both prefer to avoid the issue at the moment
To Arrange Transaction"
q UGH being the fact the business OF the diplomacy
- represented at Washington will be to arrive at
a transaction sort of bargain which has in reality
other merit than postponng real clash Up to
the breaking point and for a price, as l have said
Europe will support the United States. But at the
breaking point European diplomacy will intervene and
furnish Of those Characteristic adjustments which
save everybodys face but settle nothing, adjustments
of which the Paris conference supplied many examples
adjustments such mark the progress of the his
tory of the Eastern question all the way from the
Crimean war to Armageddon.
Everybody wants peace but wants to pay
for it, this is the fundamental fact in the world. No
Engishman is willing to buy peace at the sacrifice Of
the empire, Frenchman at the cost OF inviting a
German invasion. AS for the American any
solemny assert that prepared to forward
the of peace by resigning claims to equal
opportunity in those Far Eastern markets which are
the greatest potential field for industrial expansion
and commercial prosperity in the immedat futures
Washington can, hot impossibly, find a useful for
mula which may postpone materially; in existing
conditions il can do So far in human history
no international conference has done and many
have promoted not prevented conflict.

Board now have under consideration
outlined to cover the expected ac-
tivities of the board. following the
recommendations of John a. Petty,
executive secretary, made at the an
nual meeting this week.
On the membership committee will
devolve the responsibility of increas-
ing the membership of the board Suf-
ficient to produce dues to cover the

basis. it is explained.
Inasmuch as the luncheon meetings
of the board have proved successful
an enlarged committee will be ap-
pointed to take up this work. 1t is the
intention in this way to develop these

Legislative Committee.
Heretofore there has been no definite
or systematic study given to matters
of legislation and taxation which
vitally affect the property owner. A
special committee of realtors will be
formed for the purpose of making a
close study of all proposed legislation
affecting real estate in the District OF
Columbia with the idea Of presenting
to Congress or the Commissioners def
mite and constructive suggestions
which will aid in the framing and
enactment of laws pertaining to real

especially qualified by experience and
close contact with real estate and it's
development to render valuable assist

facts derived from careful. systematic
study.
A standing committee on public
affairs which would be somewhat Of

Usual Groups.
In addition to these special groups,
committees, usual to any organization,
will be appointed by President Harry
