WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington d. O., Dec 14--The
big express companies have naturally
been greatly displeased at the growth
and progress Of the parcels post sys-
tenn. Friends Of the parcels post see
in the bill recently reported favorable
to the House by Mr. STEVENSON OF
Minnesota, blow at this great insti-
tuition This bill blouse Bill 8441) au-
thorizes the Postmaster General to
restrict the use OF the special deliy-

be sent through the mail with special
delivery service added The most im-

cry stamp IS 70 cause the prompt de-

a disaster and the loss of customer.
Some members Of the House from ag-
Iicultural districts are already OPP
posing this innocent-lo hooking little
four-line bill, claiming IL is the en-
tering wedge that seeks TO break
down the parcels post system, built
up at such labor and expense under
the Democratic administration.
While the President hectored the
Southern white people by saying at
Birmingham; Whether you like II or
not, you have to give the negro polit-
ical and economic equality" he does
not seem to be practicing what he
preached. He has appointed but one
negro at an office Of sufficient impor-
lance to require confirmation by the
Senate, and that confirmation has
been refused on account Of the char
acter OF the appointee. Henry Lincoln
Johnson was Republican national com
mitteeman from Georgia and was giv-
en- the place as Recorded Of Deeds OF
the District of Columbia in order TO
get rid OF him in Georgia. About TWEEN
ty white women-mostly widows are
employed as clerks in the Recorders
office.

Failure TO Fill Agreements

PARls. Jan. 2.--Marshal Fochs report

The German delinquencies in executing
the disarmament clauses of the treaty
and the Spa agreement are said to be
principally the maintenance OF civic
guards in Bavaria and Eastern Prussia,
the organization of security police. and
failure to destroy the required amount
OF artillery in the eastern and southern
frontier fortresses.

Special Cable to THE NEW YORK HERALD
Copyioh., >5y THE New YORK Herald.
New York Herald Bureau.
Paris. Jan. ..
President Wilson's reported intention
to call an international conference with
q view of bringing about disarmament
by all nations so far has failed to stir
up any noticeable enthusiasm In French
official circles, wherein it Is apparent
that little confidence is placed in the
utility of such project since the League
of Nations Assembly and Council, which
went into every possible phase of dis
armament during the several weeks at
Geneva, failed TO find even a semblance
of solution.
Highly placed French authorities, to
whom THE New York HERALD corre-
spondent broached the subject, pro-
fessed they could not see any advantage
III all nations studying the problem of
naval disarmaments. which was vital
principally to the United States, Great
Britain and Japan.
France is not greatly worried about
naval supremacies." said one authority
"Our problem is one of military dis
armament, and the key to its solution
lies in the disarmament of Germany,
and the Allies evidently are beginning
to appreciate the necessity of compelling
this at all costs. Once that is settled
Europe can begin disarming its land
forces and France will then be found
to have done her share just as soon
as any other nation"
1t was asked how Mr.. Wilson could
expect to get results at Washington

at Geneva and bearing the fullest
credentials of their governments. could
not attain.
"Our statesmen. however. DO not wish
to dampen the ardor of any effort which
will make for world peace through dis
armament" another authority said. IF
the conference actually is called France
probably viii be represented. although
il cannot be seen wherein there lies any
hope OF preparing a naval disarmament
agreement by having nations present
which are not directly interested. and
which have other equally important
problems and policies demanding tie
closest attention.
This does not mean. however, that
France does not desire an amicable ar
-rangement of the naval question between
Great Britain and the United States. In
fact. this is one of Frances sorest
worries. as her Gipiomatlsts admit they
must continually walk warily lest they
give the appearance of favoring one or
another nation in this matter.
1t also is appreciated here that the
abandonment of big navy policies by the
great Powers probably would tend to
calm the financial markets and enable
France and other sufferiss countries to
get loans which, are now refused on the
ground that the wealth of Great Britain
and America must be conserved for the
possibility of q naval conflict.
The PARISH MIDI to-day discusses the
American naval policy, admitting that
1.-The United States has maritime ira
dition which the logical succession Of
events demands that she must fortify.
Every time the United States has been
| worried in the past her sea power has
had something TO do with it. For instance.
the. war of 1912, and even the last war,
was no exception to the rule. If Ger
many had not committed naval crimes
the United States probably would not
have entered the war. but would have
continued the controversy with France
and England in regard to their blockade.
which admittedly was not in conformity
with American doctrines of liberty"
The same newspaper contends that
the complaint of the American people

Mr.. Wilson subscribed was that it did
not provide a freedom OF the seas

clause. which is perfectly justified from
a national standpoint, as the United
States has right 10 take steps so that
her commerce IN the future cannot be
disturbed by the battles Of other nations.
But" the Pdrs-Midi continues. 1T is
ridiculous 10 assert that because of this
a conflict between Great Britain and the
United States is inevitable. There often
have been bad family relations between
the two countries. but they are only
family affairs which do not demand the
shedding of blood. To be precise, the
United States is the only nation in the
world which can endeavor TO create a
fleet equal 10 that OF Great Britain or
even superior with such certainty that
Great Britain must accept It rs an ae-
complished fact. II IS apparent that the
Anglo-American naval rivalry must end
by an agreement between the two ma
