AFTER LIMITING ARMS

High hopes are fixed upon the
Washington Conference next
month. Yet prudent men will
not expect too much from it i'm
mediately. If far-reaching and
sanctioned agreements regarding
the Pacific can be reached, GER
tain cutting down Of naval arma-
ment, and of plans for it, would
naturally follow. Both the diplo-
matte settlement and the limiting
Of military expenditure would be
justly hailed as great steps in ad-
vance. But would not other
steps remain to be taken? The
conference would not have re-
moved the causes Of war or plac-
ed al international disputes in
the way Of peaceful settlement.

In the Moslem state Of Turkey the

on the basis Of the Koran, the Hadith,

ever, has enacted statutes as suited

ington Conference may be in its
necessarily limited objects, it
looks and leads to something else.
This point of view is set forth
with lucidity and force in the
October Atlantic by Ex-Governor
Samuel w. Mccall. He has moth
ing but praise for the summon
ing Of the conference. 1t may
bring about happy understand
ings. 1t may result in welcome
savings. But it will leave the
general question Of peace far
from a final settlement" What
will be lacking, after Washington
has done its best, will be an ar
rangement among nations" not
to take up arms until after peace
full methods Of settling disputes
have been thoroughly tested. Mr..
Mccall does not believe that the
plan Of the League of Nations
was perfect, but he declares that
it was ''the noblest attempt at
practical idealism that has ever
been made by any statesman.
So the question recurs, after linn
iting ornaments, what then?
Governor Mccall asks us to carry
our thoughts back to Armistice
Day. If the President of the
United States had then announc-
ed that he would not consent to
enter any combination of nations
to prevent war, Ibis declar-
alton would have been received
with general eyecration. But
the situation today is really the
same as it was three years ago,
and "the course to be taken as
clear" There is already a union
of nations. In effect, America
is the only part of the organized
world that stands aloof." Let
us, urges Mr.. Mccall, make
clear the conditions upon which
we will "join hands with the civ
ilized nations. After the Wash
ington Conference it will still be
imperative to deal with the larger
issue.
As a veteran of many Repub-
lican campaigns and a student OF
our political history, Governor
Mccall makes light of Ambassa-
dor Harvey's assertion that
America has solemnly decided by
1000, 900 majority to stay out OF
the League. No one can tell just
what was decreed by the voters,
observes the Governor. Great
race groups were fqnctioning and
voting with reference to their
father lands" And Mr.. Mccall,
out of his experience, sizes up
electoral tidal waves" for what
they are worth. "Grandilo-
quent majorities sometimes indi-
cate that the political atmos-
phere is seeking its equilibrium
by a tempest, and that the set
tied current of popular opinion
may ultimately blow in the op-
posite direction" In any event,
the United States, after the
Washington Conference, will be
facing the same old inescapable
choice. We may show a will
ingness to let the world go on
as it was subject to the danger
that some maniac may throw
the brand" which will wrap it in
flames. Or we may s''play the
part Unreasonable creatures and
unite with the rest Of the world
to make the thing measurably
impossible by extending the
reign of law over nations. -

BRITISH BANKERS
 NOT IN FAVOR OF
 REDUCING POUND
By Associated Press

London, December 10.-Suggestions advanced by certain economic the orists to stabilize the value of the English pound at, say 15 shillings gold thereby reducing the American exchange from $4.86 to a new parity of sS.65 to the pound and creating a gold premium of 33 per cent do not meet with the approval of prac- tical British bankers.
 Sir Charles Addis, president of the institute of bankers. in an inaugural address to that body, made a strong plea for continued efforts to restore the gold standard.
 He said that a return to pre-war parity could not be accomplished un- less new and unexpected imitation should take place in America with out a considerable amount of further deflation in Great Britain.
 Deyaluation proposals. he de- clared. were premature, inopportune and inexpedient. He refused to be- lieve that the British people could be induced to trample on their mon etary past and to relinquish the dearly purchased gold standard, which they believed to be bound up with the prestige of their national credit and their supremacy in inter national finance"
