The former can be done IL Mr..

TO set up a new association Of ma
tons. The latter can be done sim
ply. by q joint agreement between
the three greatest naval powers Of
Europe, America, and Asia The
latter is the alternative more than

IT'S much easier to see WHY the
approaching conference on limita-
ton Of armament should attain
large measure Of results than HOW 1t
Is going to do so.
The world need for drastic reduc-
ton in all form Of governmental ex-
penditure Is so obvious 1t Is idle to
restate the case. To my mind. the
economic phases Of the approaching
gathering are on a parity with the
possible formulas that might be
evolved, that in some measure might
act as war '.preventives" in the
Pacific.
The view Of the American navy
that Q financial standard cannot be
used as the measure Of reduction or
restriction on future navy buildIns'
believe absolutely sound. It must
be worked out on a tonnage basis.

As to the Far East phase Of the

in all likelihood will be scanty. I
look to see some positive good now

IF the thought of the world Is
ready for the Inauguration OF
Il movement looking, toward
gradual disarmament the forthcom-
ing conferences will mark an epoch
in the history of mankind. Public
servants were never so responsive
to public opinion as they are to-
day. The outcome of the confer
ence Is likely to depend largely on
the expression of public sentiment
in the United States. President
Harding and Secretary Of State
Hughes realize this to be the case,
and are expressing the hope that
the people Of the United States,
through mass meetings, through
their newspapers and through other
channels will speak out. Observers
pretty generally are Of the opinion
that the world Is ready for the
step that Is proposed. The people
OF every land are tired Of war.
Now is their opportunity. to make
a beginning toward permanent
peace, and they are looking to the
United States to lead the way.
Any attempt to shroud the con-
ference in mystery would cause the
people to lose faith in 1t at the
outset. This does not mean that
the elaboration should all be pub
lie, but It does mean that the con-
ferees should keep the people fully
Informed in regard to each days
DEVELOPMENTS. Publicity Is as much
a part Of the proposed new order
as limitation Of armaments. Un-
doubtedly the United States and
Japan will be the outstanding fig-
ures at the conference. II they
can come to an understanding as
to the principles and policies that
are to control in the Pacific and
Far East, the problem Of the con-
ference will probably be compare
lively easy of solution. Subtle in
iuences against the great purpose
of the conference will undoubtedly
be active. Human greed is SEEM
Ingly still to be reckoned with.
