eeneraiities. For complete realization
we shall probably have to Wau io of
time, and PERHAPS for generations % y
fulfllment. But it can be taken as q
fact that there are in these treatles
not merely one, but several factors
each of Which standing alone is a
turning point in human history.
One thing quite lost sight or ana
hardly even mentioned, is the fact
that through one of these treaties
Great Britain surrenders the unois-
puted mastery of the seas. 1t IS true
She is not stripped OF 1t by iolee,
but voluntarily, in the interest Oh a
new order in the world, admits an
equal partner. That this happens
through the processes OF conference
does not deprive it of the TACT tnat
This conference thus becomes the
equivalent OF any of the great oe-
cisiye sea battles of history.
Dominance on the sea is no longer,
as it always has been in the past, tne
possession of a SINGLE power. IL IS
now handed over to mutual partner
ship of nations. The mastery OF the
sea which Britain now, SO to speak,
turns over to trustees has been "ltniii
her sole possession for 200 years. Be
fore that, Holland had it, and before
that. Spain, and Portugal, and SO on
all the way back to Tyre, Always
there was one power dominant on the
sea, and never did it pass except
through battle until February 3, l922.
That is one of the larger factors
in the treaties. There are several
more. 1t would be easy to feel lrri-
rated with those who either through
ignorance of the past, or want OF
imagination about the future, IAN
to estimate this conference at It's
true height. In the mere mlnutlae
of the conference, in its mere me-
chanism, so to speak there was one
thing that was not less than an out
standing example of sheer genus:
Thai was the selection of the formula
Tor ending competition In naval arm
aments it was the simplicity and con-
creteness of this formula that pro-
duced the results, Balfour knows this
and has said SO. That Hughes also
thinks so can be taken for granted
from several things he has said, al
though his personal relation to it may
restrain him from having so directly.
When this conference was tlrst
proposed, the naval experts of the
various nations set to work to make
a formula for limitation. The navy
men went at it from the point of
view that seemed specifically the
most logical and obvious. They tried
to find formula which should assign
a theoretically fair navy to each of
the nations.

SEA DOMINANCE

Sullivan Calls Formula For
Stopping Naval Compe-
tition Stroke of
Genius
By Mark Sullivan in the Washington
Herald

Just as this conference began we
gave Marshal Foch twenty-nine col
lege degrees, a baby wildcat, and an
honorary membership in the New
York Bricklayers' Union; and almost
any day here in Washington you can
see a score of generals going about
the streets bowed down under the
weight of half ton of metal, more
or less, in the shape of crosses, cres-
cents, stars bars and other miscel-
laneous forms Of what those among
them, who have sense of humor call
decorative hardware" But in day
or two, ! suppose, we shall see Charles
E. Hughes quietly taking a boat to
Bermuda for a rest, dressed IN
black sack-suit, a good deal less
ornamental than that of the assist
ant purser. AS some one remarked
at the session yesterday, Its all
over but the shouting, and | sup
pose there won't be any shouting"
That is not as it should be-. l
know very wise person who has
given much thought to war and its
causes and who says that we shall
have to find some way either to
take the glamour away from war OF
Else to give glamour to the victories
Of peace. The persons. and organiza-
tons, the churches and colleges, who
three months ago were most usefully
building up a favorable atmosphere
for this conference through prayer
and other forms of organized spiritual
effort, ought now to put their minds
on finding some way of making what
has now been accomplished, as strik-
ing, as glamorous if you please, and
as long remembered as, let US say,
the Armistice Day ceremony last No
vember. Perhaps the formal sinking
of the ships, if they are to be literally
sunk, may provide the opportunity.
How great thing this conference
was has SO often been said that it
is useless to say it again in more

BONUS BILL MUST
DEVISE REVENUES

President Harding informed a group
of Republican leaders of the Senate
and House Monday that the soldiers
bonus bill must include a provision
for the raising of necessary revenue,
that it must not impose too heavy a
burden upon the public.
The conference, which was held
at the White House, was attended
by many of the Republican members
of the Senate Finance Committee
and the House Ways and Means Com
mittee. 1t was headed by Senator
McCumber, of North Dakota, chair
man of the Finance Committee, and
Representative Fordney, of Michigan
chairman Of the Ways and Means
Committee Representative Mondell,
of Wyoming, Republican leader of
the House, was also present.
The President indicated his in
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-02-08

They took into account a score OF
factors, like relative length OF coast,
/ line relative distance from potential
enemies, relative wealth, relative
population and what not. Trying to
make theoretically perfect ratio
out of all these factors they got no
where. Each factor was contingent
on another, and so they went round
and round in circles.
It was in this state of mind that
our naval experts gave it up, and
thereupon Hughes took step which
was nothing short of genius in going
to the heart Of an infinitely com,
pick matter and digging out of it all
that was essential. Hughes said to
the naval experts, in effect, "The way
to stop is to stop and the time to stop
is the opening day of the conference,
November u. Give me the exact fig
ures as to how the navies of the world
stand as Of that day. We will ask them
to stop where they are on that day.
II they won't stop on that day, there
is little likelihood of their being will
iiito CO sup vi any OLiieI Jay " "1-A
base our formula on actually ex-
listing navies and not on theoretically
adequate navies."
That, l say, was an act of genius;
| have said it was Hughes who did
it. That has been commonly taken
for granted, but it has also been pub
licly questioned. During the early
days of the conference, the wide
spread publication of a despatch to
the effect that it was Harding who
devised the formula, caused as much
gossip as almost anything that has
happened during the conference. have
also heard it ascribed to Root, and
just lately it was publicly ascribed
to young Theodore Roosevelt, the As
sistant Secretary of the, Navy. There
was nothing in this last. The formula
came from outside the navy, and the
navy is generously ready to say so.
