cies of warfare in this and other

This subject, it is forecast by the

along with any proposition looking to
naval construction and the creation
of naval bases. Japan regards. for

Here is a consideration which. it is
said is not being overlooked by the
governments sending delegates TO the
conference, namely: the necessity of
the conference being successful in
of armamentS. or the peoples of the
European countries and of the United
States taking the case into their own
hands and refusing to allow their
supply-voting bodies to furnish the
means for continuing n world-wrfck-
ing rivalry in naval armament. Eng

lieved by some thinkers in official

people who furnish the money for the
support of government will not
countenance continuance. let alone
expansion, of the present system of
outlay for warlike preparation so out
of proportion with all other eXpendi-
lures.
In this view of the case. if it is
representative of the situation, 1t
would seem that the conference is
a practical working plan. The sug
gestion follows that il the United
States and England insist upon limi
tation, nations whose governments
may not be so responsive to popular
will, must fall into line.
Some distinguished commentators
upon the approaching conference
have voiced the apprehension that
the international banting interests"
will be found welding mighty in
fuence in the meeting. Secretary of
State Hughes is said not to share this
apprehension. In looking over the
list of delegates he has noted the alb
sence therefrom of names of finan-
ciers of the countries represented and
does not believe that financial ques-
: tions will come up. If the interna-
tional bankers are to be present they
will be on the side lines and Will
work under cover.

conference success: secondary, that
is to the government which they
have put into office and which is
directly charged with the negotia-

on Limitation of Armaments.
This organization is composed of
one representative of each national
organization favoring Limitation OF
armaments. Its primary purpose is
to mass the Overwhelming sentiment
of the country in favor of a limitation
of armaments and to give it express
sion.
Further, it's purpose is to cooper
ate with similar organizations of the
peoples OF other nations represented
at the Washington conference and to

The perfection of the organization
Of the national Council on the Limi-
tation OF Armamenls is now under
way Already the council has opened
it's headquarters at 532 17th street
northwest, in the very shadow almost
of the meeting places OF the inter-
national conference. Some thirty ma
tional organizations have signitied
their intention of participating in the
council and many others are expected
to Join with them before the confer
ence gets started.
This headquarters in Washington is
to be a center of information-intor-
nation as to what the conference is
doing, and information as to what the
peoples Of this country and other
countries are demanding there shall
be done. While it will have no Off
cial connection with the conference
nor will it undertake in any way to
dictate to the conference, it will keep
in the closest touch with it's consrit-
uent organizations and will suggest
ways and means by which the work
of the member organizations may be
co-ordinated, duplication prevented
and unreached territory covered. Its
information service will be very com
plete. When it is deemed necessary
it will suggest to it's member organ
izations possible lines of action tC

have been in vain.

She had lost, without counting the
Saar. the customs of which are in the
hands of the French, and Upper
Silesia, which the victors are trying
to wrench from her in spite of the
plebiscite, 8 per cent of her popula-
ton: almost 25 per cent of her iron
production; the greater part of her
production of potash. ETC., etc.
The coal output, which had already
been seriously impaired by the loss of
the Saar mines, had already suffered
lss, Germany must hand over to her
ex-enemies about $4,000 900 tons of
coal a year as part of the indemnity
she owes. Before the war 60 per
cent of the coal output came from
the Ruhr basin, % per cent from Up
per Silesia and per cent from the
Saar.
The Saar coal mines have become
French property; there has been a
mysterious and persistent plot against
the Ruhr collieries, and the mines
of Upper Silesia are threatened b$
the political situation created by the
allies, who first sought to forge by
every Illicit means a plebiscite in ac-
cordance with their aims, and who
later failed to respect the plebiScite
which, in the face of violence and
opposition. had resulted in favor Of
Germany.
Germany, which, in observance of
the clauses Of the treaty. has al
ready handed over all her merchant
fleet, all her colonies, all her credits
and the property of her citizens
abroad, all her rights and interests
in the world; Germany, thus deprived
of all that Is most necessary to the
life of nation, is subjected more
than ever to a series of controls
vent production, from the occupa-
tion Of the left bank of the Rhine
to the punctilious and absurd re-
strictions of transports. GERMANY
produces under difficulties and with
tremendous efforts, and her internal
and economic situation grows worse
from day to day.
Many business men, in order to
obtain high protective duties, cause
it to be said through their press
that Germany profits by the depreci-
alton of the mark. In other terms.
that she exploits her very defeat.
Undoubtedly low rate of exchange,
within certain limits, acts as a
stimulus to exports and a barrier to
imports. But an exaggerated rate Of

There are plenty of fools ready to
echo the theory proclaimed by Gym

Germany finds herself in position
enninently favorable to her commerce.
In a certain measure she herself, it
is alleged, has brought about the de-

to beat other countries in the race for
