Now 1t Can Be Analysed
Westby Farmer Writes of Peace Confer
ence and Other Things
Editor Taylor and Readers:

Now that the furry of the Arms Com
ference has subsidized, we are all at ease
to analyze with the aid of micro

Two Resolutions
In the four-power treaty I find two
Of the miserable subbterfuge INDUCED |
in by the noble (?l trainers of interna-
tional destiny.
Of these is the proposal of Mr. EIihu |
Root. which is in text, as follows: Re-
striction of submarines in war, reQuir |
ing visit and search Of merchant vessels
before attack, giving ample safety for
passengers and providing for punishment
for violation Of these rules under the
laws applying to piracy"
Now, supposing a British. japanese
or French sub, depending on which of
these happened to be our enenny) had
sighted an American merchant ship and
was bent on its destruction, and that
| while on the verge of complying with
Umpire Roots rules. these noble gentle
men of the sub. sighted one Of Uncle
Sans Sub-eaters bearing down on them
with unkindly intentions. we'll sir. UNI
pire Root would simply lose his prestige

sub would simply let lose one Of the
TINT fishes on that merchant ship and
Ego merrily on its way meath the ocean
obscurity.
Now suppose the nation that owned
that ff1ischievious submarine would upon
hearing of it's misdeeds, give 1t Gun
on the ear and send it back to Umpire
Root to be duly corrected.
Second Proposal
Next. Mr. Hughes proposes abolition
of poison gas and other nations are in
vi1ed to bask in the light and security
of this new law of war! It is 'befttins
