Wise Friend

the President invited these i've 10 a
conference on the limitations Of ar
mament8, in connection with which
Pacific and Far Eastern matters
would also be discussed. He says
that it would have been most agree
able" to the President to invite all
the powers to take part in this con-
ference.
1t would have been more pleas
ing" to the President, said Mr.,
Hughes, to have invited all, bat the
necessities were so immediate, that
other things should yield to the prac-
teal requirements. For this reason
the invitation was given to the group
known as the principle allied and as
ISOLATED nations which control the ar
mament of the world.
THE opportunity to limit arma-
ment lies within their grasp
Thus Secretary Hughes and the
president DtllcNC IlldL II was bEtt'l
to call the five great powers, who
possess the ability to accomplish that
upon which they decide.
But stating that the discussion of
the Pacific and Far Eastern qucs-
lions was not for the purpose of en-
barrassing them, it was recognized
that the interests of other powers in
the Far East made it advisable that
they should be present in the discus
sion of these questions, and with the
approval of the five powers, an invita-
ton to take part in these discussions
of these questions has been sent to
Belgium China and the NetherlNnds,
Secretary Hughes insisted that
there was no intention to postpone
these questions, but that they should
be taken up in proper order they
were now facing the problem of limi-
/ tation of naval ornaments. This is
| hoped to be disposed of Immediately.
! Then on with the other matters.

New Stock Brokers' Building at
New York Progressing Well

New York, Nov. 16.-Contident of
becoming an international market of
greater proportions and to some eX-
tent assuming the position held for
generations by the London Stock IN
change, the New York Stock In
change is steadily pushing to compile
ton it's handsome 23-stOry addition.
Daspite the reaction which has fol-
lowed almost two years of unprece-
dcnted speculation and inflated val
ues officials of Americas leading Sc
curity market apparently have ab-
solute confidence in the return to the
country of business prosperity.
While trading is slack, they are i'm
proving their opportunity to provide
greater facilities for future which
to them seems limitess. In addition
to marketing and making otherwise
negotiable some $55,000,00O 900 OF
American stocks and bonds, the Stock
Exchange has listed about 0,0OO,-
COO of foreign securities for trading
on its floor.
The site Of the new Stock Exchange
wing occupies the block upon Wall
street between Broad and New streets
in the very heart Of the financial dis
trict. The steel structure, which rests
upon a Golfer dam extending to bed
rock 70 feet below the street, is fin
ished and the Georgia marble facing
of the building should be in place be
fore the snow nise.
Owing to the complicated meChani-
cal and electrical equipment to be in
stalled, however, almost a year will
pass before the new building will be
made ready for use.

A REDUCED GRAND LIST.

When it is learned that a grand list
this year will probably run below.
that Of last year, it is often a good
sign of an improved city,
The building figure has been large,
but when it has been increased by the
acquisition of schools, a nurses home
new church and smaller non-tax-
able property, the fact that the rev
enue to the city will be smaller than
that of last year should not create
CONSERVATION, but rather, pride.
These figures show that in the
midst Of hard times, or toward the
end OF them, as ws trust, New Britain
did not forget those who cared for
the sick, nor the little children who
must be taught now, or lose forever
the time that would have been theirs
for this purpose. It is expected that
much more money will be expended
for property which, also, will be non
taxable,
In not allowing New Britain to fall
behind in making it famous for its
Normal school and other schools and
for Frightening it in every spot where
a lack Of foresight would dun it, we
are building up, as far as we may in
such times, a foundation for strength,

ACCEPTED.

Until this time it has been not
quite safe to say the American dis
armament plan had been accepted
Now that declaration may be made,
Two New York newspapers of re
pute assert -Four Great Powers ac-
cept the American Proposals; Dele
gates begin Drafting terms of Naval
Agreement; Two formulas for Pacific
adjustment are prepared" and Bril-
tain and Japan accept Naval Plan
amid cheers. Far East Problem to-
day; Hughes Moving Cautiously; ia
pan would Quit Shantung; Wants
Manchuria Open"
Another takes the pessimistic view,
In headlines, that "Britain's Terms
Bring Severe test to Hughes Plan;
Japan will demand an increase in her
Sea Quota; France to Reduce Army
only on her own Terms"
An added comment is that of the
well known author, II, G. Wells:
Mass of British Public Would Side
with America, should War with ia
pan ever Break out-Probably France
also-but War is Unlikely"
Openly and with binding, solemn
words, England agrees to give up her
traditional Supremacy of the seas"
and share it with the United States.
Her representative praised eloquently
the idealism of the plan, and making of
it practical to the point where Eng
lands and Japan's experts lauded its
brilliant audacity.
France and Italy are with us.
Mr., Hughes said that ample OPP
portunity would be given for full
consideration Of all suggested modi-
fications, that such was the first de-
sire of the American government.
we may commit this matter to a
technical examination with the as
surance that there will come out of
this conference an appropriate agree
ment for satisfactory, important, es-
sential reduction of naval armament
to the enc that offensive naval war
fare will be no more, and this great
advance shall be made to the accom-
plishment of enduring peace"
This, it must be remembered, was
the statement of the originator of the
plan. The shadow of trouble lies in
the committee Of experts who will
consider details and in approval OF
their work. But they are not mem
bers of the conference, violent par
tisans though they may be. Their
plans must be approved, of course
by the conference, But may we copy
the headline of a great New York
papers editorial: Peace Idealisn

FRANCE AND ITALY.

Latest reports from the conference
at Washington tell Of the complete
understanding which exists between
France and Italy, and of their strong
desire to accept the ideas of the Unit

assure success for the conference, and
have even gone further than the dip

The policies of the countries were de-
clared, even before the policies of the
other countries were. known. The
frankness which marks this confer

and a first step in the ladder of sue

Italy go the credit for accomplishing
this display of confidence.

right to expect daily news of the con-

the closed door will at least have a
latch string of understanding hang

given news Of value from day to day.
The diplomats do not seem to be coy
when it comes to publicity-therc is
spirit of trust everywhere-France
and Italy are the two countries which
augmented that spirit by their frank
declaration OF yesterday, In short
they were in accord when it comes to
