Disarmament at Genoa

= The economic conference at Genoa seems un-
able to discuss purely economic problems without
paying some attention to the political questions
that underlie. The insstence of the Russian
delegation for consideration of the reduction of
armies is case in point.
France in objecting to that discussion, shows
that she still is acting under the impulse of fear.
A badly frightened country, with her political
mind still parayzed by the presence of even an
enemy, it seems she has not been able to learn
the lesson that Germany and England already
have profited by, in the reduction of their armed
forces and the turning of their energies toward
production.
In spite Of the stories from Russia the last
few years, it is not surprising thing to see the
j Soviet government take the lead in an argument
for decreased armies Russia has been a country
that has continually feared outside intervention,
a feeling that was inherited from the czarist
regime. Military support Of the allied to Wran-
gle and the White Army made the Soviet army
a necessity but with the collapse of opposition,
the natural inclination of the Russians for a
placid existence cannot be denied.
The influence of the United States, and of the
conference for naval limitation lately held in
Washington, has been too strong for most coun-
tries to attempt to dodge the issue of mill
tary reduction. The conference was called to dis

The new boards purchased by the

For the past two months, the company

cause of being handicapped by the

phones were in demand. The new
boards had just been purchased and

cuss economic questions, but the disarmament
question, while classed as political, has too many
economic ramifications to be disregarded If it
cannot be discussed and even tentatively settled
at Genoa, the fault can be definitely laid to the
"war-fear' that still has France tight in its
grasp. Yet without complete submersion of
such fears" the economic conference can never
expect to reach any definite solution of strictly
economic questions.
Lloyd George, seemingly emuating the ex-
ample set by Secretary Hughes at the Washing
ton conference, proposes at Genoa that the Eu-
ropean nations refrain from attacking each other
for number of years. This plan if accepted
would eliminate war for definite period.
How the French and Poles will accept the pro-
posal when its details have been worked out, re-
mains to be seen. If the same pressure can be
brought to bear on the delegates that was ex-
erted effectively at Washington, the two nations
may see the light of the new day.
America, say the Czecho-Slovakians, does not
understand the complexity of the European sit
uation. Because America can easily reduce her
army is no reason, they assert, why every Euro
pean country can follow the example. Conditions
in Europe are far different from America, they
believe, because Of the many frontiers. America
need not fear Canada or Mexico, is their argu-
ment, but most European nations are beset by
nations that may become enemies on short notice.
All of which has some truth in it, but after
all, America has grown strong not because she
made war to attain power and influence, but be-
cause she abhorred senseless conflicts and be-
lieved that international affairs should be regu-
lated on the basis of high principle. If some of
the European countries would acquire more of
our respect for the principles of Righteousness
and justice, they would lose some of their desire
to make war.
