ADMIRAL KATo's POSITION SAID
TO INVITE NAVAL RIVALRY
BETWEEN GREAT NATIONS.
BUILDING RACE MUST STOP
Contend Departure From 5-5-3 Ratio
Would Mean Disguised Continuance
of Capital Ship Raee-"If You Don't
Stop Some Time, You viii Stop No
Time, American Delegates Argue
Against Nipponese.

Washington.-The American dele
vation 10 the armament conference Is
opposed to the japanese demand for
an increase In capital ship tonnage
over that allotted them In the five
fye-three Hughes proposal. The Brit
ish delegation stands with the Ameri-
can delegation on the ground that the
original proportion should stand. In
the Consideration Of the japanese pro-
posal as announced by Admiral Baron
Kato, the Japanese, therefore, stand
In a distinct minority.
The attitude of the Americans Is
based on the fundamental premise that
the ffve-fve-three ratio represented the
comparative naval strength of Eng
land. America and Japan on Novem-
Der II. And so, to meet the American
stand, made known here, 1t Is alto
gether likely that the japanese will
reply that it is possibly just that the
proportions should stand in the rela-
hon to the strength of the three navies
on November II, but they will argue
that those relations were not five-five-
three, but something like five five
three and half. That, naturally. will
cause long expert discussion-if the
japanese push the contention they are
mentioning.
Arthur J.. Balfour, head of the Brit
ish delegation, made it very plain in
his speech accepting in principle and
pirit the Hughes proposal that his
government agreed to the ratio of five
ive-three as measuring the strength of
the three navies, and believed that
ratio should be maintained in the final
settlement. understand that "a hours
after the announcement of the Japa-
nese demand the British delegation
sees no good reason for retreating
from the position Balfour laid down
In the name of his government.
II Is the attitude of the American
delegation that 1t Is proposed to stop
now competition in the building Of
naval offensive ships, which are capi-
tal ships. Having carefully figured
the comparative strength of the three
Dig navies as Of November IL, IT is
the American position that the ratio
OF hve-five-three represents fair ratio
70 De adopted, and that any departure
nom this ratio means not cessation of
competition in capital ships. but dis
galsed continuance of the competition.
In other words. If the naval race is TO
stop It should stop.
( II you don't stop some time you win
mop no time, Is the way the Americans
zee 1t. And, always regarding the
nve-fve-three ratio as fair, the United
States delegates hold that it does not
mean stopping naval competition to
pe competing In an effort to get little
more than the ratio representing where
tne racing nations stood on the day
u was proposed to call a halt.

NO TIME FOR ARROGANCE

This is no time for arrogance on
the part of any interest involved in
the railroad difficulties-and that in
cludes everybody. This in substance,
but with application, President
Fiske of the Metropolitan Insurance
Company told the president of the
New York Central railroad, remark
ing: I'VE think the present truculent
attitude of some railroad administra-
tons towards the operatives great
mistake which may lead to disaster.
and that it is time all concerned in
the properties should show some con-
ciliatory disposition"
If any management can make a
more disagreeable display of trucu-
lence and arrogance than was that Of
the labor unions when demanding the
Adamson law it would indeed be
worthy of comment, but not of COM
mendation. In school the boy that
is bullied often becomes a bully lat
er, when he gets chance. This may
be what is the matter with some of
the railway arrangements.
Business, which is daily being
robbed by the extortion in force on
our transportation lines, doesn't
want to mark time while railway
arrangements fight to take it out of
the labor bully. This is no time for
bullying anybody. 1t is time to tell
any party that attempts it what
Lloyd George told the mine DULLES of
England. that they were in an impos-
sible situation. Events prove that he
was correct. Any party to the pres
ent railroad situation who attempts
to play the bully should be told that
he is in an impossible situation and
events will back it up.

Editorial Comment
A Voice from the Grave
(The War Cry)

A message sent by General William
Booth, founder of the Salvation
Army, to America upon the occasion
of his eightieth birthday, but not be-
fore published:
o Americans! Your splendid recog-
milton of The Salvation Army; your
generous cooperation in it's efforts;
your kindly interest in myself per-
sonally, together with numerous re-
quests for a message applicable to
the occasion Of my eightieth birthday,
embolden me to speak to you and to
speak to you from my heart.
o America! How vast is your OPP
portunity for making lasting mark
for good on the entire human race!
Endowed with meaSureless material
resources, enjoying the unbounded
confidence of your own people, fav-
ored with the concentrated light of
earth and Heaven, possessed of an
influence covering, like a shadow, all
the world beside, what a power you
must be destined to become!
What will you do with this mighty,
magic force? If you are permitted to
realize your ambition to lead the
world, whittier will you lead it?
Where else can you lead this poor,
blind, stumbling world of ours but to
a mighty, just and holy God: to the
obedience to His commands; to the
practise of righteousness, purity,
honor, kindness and simplicity, and
to self sacrificing service Of man
kind?
0 America Dear America! I
invite you to the actual realization of
the Christian principles you profess
and to practical imitation of Jesus
Christ, who came out of His Heaven
to seek and save that which was lost.
Come along, then! Let us grid up
our loins and go out of our heaven
and put our arms around the per-
ishing multitudes and bring them to
Christ, purity. peace and Paradise.
| invite you to make our common
Christianity an ungainsayable reality,
and thus wipe out the reproach fast
gathering over us that it is nothing
more than an exploded tradition, a
fashionable association, or a lifeless
ceremony. Then, when wondering
world asks:
I'm what country can / find the
thing described by the letter of the
Bible, and set forth in the life Of
Jesus Christi" the answer shall be,
You will find it in America"
GENERAL WILLIAM BOOTH.

readers that April 10th was the birth
