In its initial inception the arms con-
ference was for the purpose of re-
ducing and limiting the expensive
naval armaments of the world. It is.
then. very natural that the burden Of
the conference viii fall upon the
various naval delegates. The tech
nical problems are enormous. The
scope in this respect cannot be ex-
aggerated. The warships cf each ma
ton are entirely different in both con-
ception and details. The various con-
structional and tactical problems would
take years TO fathom. And everything
must be consummated al the short
time OF the conference.
A most gratifying list OF technical
advisers for our navy has been given
out. At the top of the list is Assistant
Secretary Of the Navy, Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, who is extremely well posted
as an adviser.
Next on the list comes Admiral f: e.
roontz, the Chief Of Naval Operations.
This is possibly the highest position to
which ar American naval officer can
rise. Admiral Coontz is admitted to be
one of the worlds greatest experts on
modern. postwar strategy and tactics.
The general board of the navy corre-
spends to some extent TO the general
staff Of the army. 1t studies the prob
lens with which the nation Is confronted
navally and then makes the proper
recommendations to the Secretary of the
Navy. Nearly always the Secretary Of
the Navy follows the policies laid down
by the general board. 1t was extremely
important, therefore, that member of
the general board be placed upon the
advisory staff OF our delegation.
zone Of the wisest heads in the navy" ="
TO quote the opinion of naval officer
of high rank was chosen in the person
of Rear Admiral w. l.. Rodgers. Admiral
Rodgers has for some time been the
chairman of the executive committee OF
the general board. one Of the most re-
sponsible positions within the power OF
the Navy Department.
For some time there has been rather
violent discussion regarding the exact
naval value Of airplanes. The navy's
position has been quite completely out
lined in the report of the Joint board on
the bombing test. The attitudes of the
foreign service have been more con-
cretely expressed by the fact that they
are building or intend to build carital
ships. In order that the subject Of avia-
ton should be fully covered Rear Ad-
miral William A. Moffet, chief OF the
Bureau OF Aeronautics has been placed
on the advisory committee. Admiral
