Italy to be permitted to maintain

Mediterranean power. This of
course does not include the British
Empire as such. although Britain
controls the Mediterranean through
Gibraltar and the Suez Canal. But
we are nation of 10000, 900 and
the new census probably will in
crease that figure. We have no
mineral wealth and have to depend
for our coal and ores on other
countries. We can feed only half
of our population and must import
foodstuffs from the United States,
from Australia and the Argentine.
Thus We must be able to protect
our lines of communication.
1T was because we had to buy
all of our food supplies that the
war cost Italy so much. We were
at the mercy of the extremely high
rate of exchange. We had to pay
wartime prices on a falling rate of
exchange with the result that pro-
portionately the cost of the war
was greater on Italy than on any
other nation"

New Flood of Propaganda
Follows Brands Speech
Efforts Had Been Checked by Amazing
Harmony of Arms CONFERENCE.-THE
Master of English but Keeps Interpreter.

There was the most intense ac-
tivity yesterday about the headquar-
tiers Of the various unofficial asso-
Citations which are working for the
cause of disarmament. or Limitation
Of ornaments, as the case may be.
The elaborate plans for a nation
wide propa ganda received a rather
grave setback on the opening day
of the conference when Secretary of
State Hughes announced a program
that was in all ways a satisfactory
one; in fact. a program that went
to greater lengths than it was be-
lieved likely. There really was very
little left to be accomplished through
propa ganda. and as one by one the
powers agreed to the Hughes pro-
gram, there seemed little use of any
effort. But Premier BRAND changed
the situation for the disarmament
propa Eandist. His announcement
that France could not with safety
disband her army furnished them
with an unusual amount of material
and much of the sort of activity
that was in evidence in the days
before the opening of the conference
was revived yesterday.

ADMIRAL kATO SHOWS
KEEN SENSE OF HUMOR

Admiral Baron Kato, of the Jap
anese delegation, enjoys possibly a
greater advantage than any of the
distinguished visitors who submit
themselves to the ordeal of an in
terrogation by the gentlemen of the
press. He understands English quite
well and can converse in it, or so
it is said by a number of writers
who profess to have talked with him
without the aid of an Interpreter.
But in his conferences he uses his
native language. 1t gives him the
opportunity to well consider his re-
ply before making it, or of frequent
ly interpolating a remark while his
reply is being transformed into Eng
fish. But even this renowned diplo-
mat. who during this conference, at
least. has shown no disposition to
converse in anything but his native
tongue, and who wears a most I'M
readable expression, has great diff
Guilty in concealing a smile when

which are calculated to excite his
rather keen sense of humor.
