No Junlling OF Navics

| I y discussing tho proposal for disarma
1 mont conference this paper has not
omitted TO warn the public against expect
ing the nations which enter il to agree on
any plan providing for immediate material
reduction Of their present military ostab-
lishments. At least two of the sea power
nations to take part in the conference have
entered upon programs OF naval cunstruc-
tion which are not at all likely to be cur
tailed by any agreement reached by the
conference. The two nations referred IN
are Japan and tho United States. Each con
siders the completion of its authorized pro-
gram necessary protection for its national
security and growing trade interests, which
extend to all parts OF the world.
While Great Britain has authorized no
such extensive building program, its present
naval supremacy calling for no expensive
outlay TO maintain its standing as the great
est sea power with competition for naval
armament in future construction eliminated
by agreement, it were an idle dream TO
expect that she would mark time and allow
this supremacy TO pass from her by failing
to provide requirements for ships taken out
Of commission as a result of deterioration
and progress toward efficiency in construc-
tion rendering them obsolete.
Hence. Lloyd Georges announcement to
the House OF Commons that it makes no
tlHtlcUCe "htlltI INC projected uiSdiiHt-
mcnt conference in Washington succeeds or
fails. Great Britain absolutely must replace
all capital ships as fast as they become OBJ
soete should create no surprise nor lessen
reasonable expectations as TO what tho con-
ference may bc able 10 accomplish. If there
! is disappointment on tho part OF we'll
/ wishors for the success OF the conference,
it must arise from misconception of tho
/ objective OF the proposed conference. Per
haps its designation as a disarmament
conference is responsible for this miscon
Ception. In reality, its purpose is to place
Il limitation upon competition among tho
nations in future armament. If this pur-
pose can be achieved a long stop toward
reducing the huge war budgets OF the va
riOus countries Will have been taken And
