SELFISHNESS
TO DOMINATE
ARMS FARLEY
Gold School Diplomats, Not
Humanitarians, on
Delegations.
ENIGMA FROM JAPAN
By ]. w. T. MASON.

Selfish national interests and not in
ternatiOnal generosity will dominate the
Washingt disarmament conference This
fact is shown by the kind of men who
have been appointed delegates to the con-
ference There Is no humanitarian on the
list. Prince Tokugawa of Japan is the
only prominent man Of the foreign dele
cations who is neither a politician nor an
old school diplomat.
For the United States to make the con-
ference even a moderate success, ii will
be necessary to offer to trade with the
delegates. There will be suave faces in
front and loaded guns behind at the con-
ference table. No nation present will
be 4ilIins to make sacrifices for the good
Of humanity Unless an ultimate person
al profit is shown. Practical politics
will rule all Washington when the inter
national statesmen come together as II
rules in the Senate and House OF Rep
resentatives.
EALFOUR MASTER
POLITICIAN.
Arthur Ba!fouT who probably viii head
h British delegation is the master poll
dcian In international areas in the House
of Commons. He has never been known
so give anything away without getting
omething better for his country in ex-
change.
Premier BRAND Of France and his chief
assistant, ex-Premier Viviant, have no
interest in anything outside the boun-
daries Of France. Their political prestige
! always has depended on not giving any
, thing and getting everything.
Ambassador Ricci, who is to head the
ITALIAN delegation, thinks In terms Of
secret diplomacy. Italy is interested in
the conference only to the extent Of pre-
venting any interference with her i'm
perialistic plans IN Africa and Asia
Minor. Ricci will have TO prevent the
adoption OF any rule for the reduction of
1talys army below the requirements Of
colonial expansion. Secret diplomacy
will be used to this end.
JAPAN'S DELEGATE
PROVES ENIGMA.
The one enigma of the conference dele
cations Is Prince Tokugawa OF Japan.
He is the adopted son Of the late Prince
Keih TOkugawa, who was the last of
the Shoguns. The japanese Shohunate
system gave Japan her present military
temperament.
But Prince TOkucawa has had no mill
tary training and IS not mentioned as
the first president if the monarchy should
be JverthrOwn. This contradiction IN the
ancestry and character of Tokugawa will
make the Washington conference a mys-
terry gathering. He alone has pose in
his personality of sudden idealism. If
he follows the bent of his ancestors, the
conference will fail. If his natural per-
sonality is allowed full freedom, the con-
feren e may possibly result in a sensa-
tiOnal success.
