Give Up super-Hoods.

The British also will give up their four
super Hoods which they have on paper.
While the contracts for these new ships
have been let to various firms. no work
has been done upon them and so the
cost of scrapping will be very small in
deed as compared to the cost of the can
collation. OF the contracts for the Ameri-
can ships under construction.
Also. the British will be compelled by
the treaty to scrap no fewer than seven
modern battleships and four modern
battle cruisers. They include the most
powerful and the weakest ships which
are actually in service. Following is
the list

VIII Scrap No Carriers.

No aircraft carrieres will be scrapped
by any nation as only England has any
where near her limit of tonnage. The
United States will be able to build her
full tonnage allotment with the possible
exception of the tonnage OF the OLD
collier Jupiter. In cruisers, where no
totaI tonnage Limitation is proposed. the
United States will rank third The
same condition will exist in respect TO
flotilla leaders except that the United
States will rank fifth-noe even having
SO many vessels Of this type as either
France or italy.
A naval holiday in respect to capitai
ships will commence at once and con-
tinue for period of ten years. The only
exceptions to this are that we will COM
plete the two ships mentioned now on
the stocks, that England is permitted to
construct two entirely new ships and
that France and Italy may start con-
struction in advance of the end OF the
prescribed time. There will be no holi-
6ay in respect to ships of other types,
and cruisers, destroyers, submarines.
gunboats, auxiliaries and other types
may be built without respect to numbers
Each nation may make up its total In
aircraft carriers despite the holiday
The New York herald., 1922-02-01
Rule for Requirements.

So soon as the holiday is over all the
nations will be able to build ships. Any
battleship twenty years old may be re-
placed-that is, q replacement ship may
be laid down when the ship IL Is Intended
TO replace is seventeen years old Three
wears is estimated as the most con-
yerient time in which to build capital
shin and so when the vessel to be re-
pls ced is twenty years old new ship
will be ready to take her place in line.
In 1882 the United States will be able
70 build at least two $4,000 ton ships
and it is possible that England will be
able to build like number. although
she is pledged to reduce to her allotted
s25. 900 tons within that time. Japar,
however. will be unable TO replace for
possibly a year after the naval holiday
is ended. :.
In spite OF the charges from high and
low. naval aircraft have been very ef-
fcctively limited. Only one or two
planes can be carried aboard a battle
ship or cruiser and the tonnage allotted
to the nations for aircraft carriers can
carry only n certain number of planes,
which is not apparent at present because
the ships have not been built. And so
the actual number of planes which go

Critics of the conference will be

their claims with the public presentation

the economy will be In the future in the

Harm I'm Over-Insistcncc.

While it is best to leave these dsap-
pointed scribes to their own devices, 1t
must not be forgotten in England that
over-insistence upon the sisterhood of
The English speaking nations and upon
the invulnerability ~ the Anglo-Amer-
ican concord without reference to the
rest of the world is scarcely less harm
ful when viewed from the standpoint of
broad international cooperation than
are the French dreams OF Anglo-Amer-
lean discord with France as the tertius
gaudens. The need of the hour is for
an understanding and for helpfulness all
around, but a good working understand
ing between France and England Is an
indispensable preliminary condition to
the attainment of the larger object.
This is now felt in official quarters
here. SO anxious is the French Govern
ment to not incur the reproach ofblocsing
any avenue toward a better state of
feeling among the nations that 1t now
confirms engagements contracted by its
predecessor in regard to the Genoa Con-
ference. grave though it's own doubts OF
the utility OF the conference in the pres
cnt circumstances undoubtedly are.
These doubts are not confined to France.
They are shared by many European
Governments. Indeed. 1t might also tie
said that had France encouraged the
manifestations of slepticism that have
reached Paris since the Cannes Confer
ence, there would now be very little
prospect of holding the Genoa Confer
ence at all. Under these conditions the
responsibility of those who suggested
the convocation of the Genoa Conference
and who still appear to believe in It's
usefulness becomes exceptionally heavy.
and IL behooves them to walk warily
and to be very sure OF their path before
they urge Europe in a direction that
may lead toward blind alley--or
worse.

The British Ships.

Great Britain, on the other hand. will

ships she will retain four battle cruisers.

Favors Several Consortiums.

Then again as to the consortium. It
Is our observation that every gifted
scheme for n consortium gives rise to
a counter plan equally brilliant Then
the adherents of each scheme fight each
other so hard that there is little left to
Go business with.
There are two ways OF exploiting a
country-either to seize Ii and expro-
pirate what the inhabitants cannot PRO-
tect, or TO negotiate. Russia is nation
of I50,000,000 human beings and they
are quite able to protect themselves as
they proved with weapons in hand Our
idea can briefly be put this way: We
are opposed to n consortium but not
to several consortiums. This does not
indicate that we are baking. But we
have legitimate interests to guard just
as other nations have.
"Our oil fields lie near the harbors,
so IL would not be to our advantage TO
give oil concessions to naval Powers.
At the same time II would not be to our
advantage TO give the rebuilding of our
railroads to the land Powers"

had TO say TO the American demand
that she join in the limitation OF arma-
ments.

France. If any one can succeed In re-
ducing the French army stone will

New York Herald Bureau.
Paris, Jan. 81.
The meeting between Premier Poin-
care. Lord Curzon and the Marquis della
Torretta has been postponed for some
days This action seems to have been
proposed by the italian Foreign Min
lister In order to allow more time for
consideration of the French memoran-
dunn on the Near Eastern question. The
Italian suggestion was communicated ST.
multaneousy to Paris and London and
was supported by Lord Curzon. The
date for the adjourned meeting has not
been fixed.
A careful consideration OF the issues
at stake in the Near East certainly is
preferable to a precipitate conference
The issues are broader than those which
may seem to be Immediately involved
in a settlement of the Greco-Turkish
imbroglio. They may we'll be found to
bear directly on the whole problem of
Anglo-Frcnch understandings in regard
to Africa.
Whether the French Government as
whole officially contemplates any
settlement of outstanding interests lying
outside of Europe, of France and Great
Britain. I do not know. but there un-
doubtedly are Frenchmen of vision who
see possibilities of a very broad under
tanding in regard to Asia Minor and
several aspects of an African policy,
such as to promote British interests
while conserving and developing those

Openings for Trade.

In more than one unofficial quar-
ter it has recently been represented
to me that there are wide openings for
British trade in North Africa. particu-
larly in Tunis, Algiers and Morocco,
where without competing dsadvan-
tageously with the French r1anufactur-
ers. British agricultural machinery
cotton goods and many other classes of
merchandise might find extensive and
remcDerative markets-and be paid for
in cash. Corn, iron ore and phosphates
from Tunis might also be objects of
satisfactory trade were British mer-
chants more alive to their opportunities
and we're there a good political under
standing between Great Britain and
France to oil the wheels Of intercourse.
In competent official quarters find
n dispotitioh entirely in harmony with
the general state of mind indicated in
my message yesterday. Although the
difficulties in the way of a rapid conclu-
sion Of an agreement are recognized to
be considerable. there is abundant readi-
ness to face them with constructive good
will and there is, believe. a reassuring
absence of pendantry as to the manner
CT overcoming them.
But once again 1t is necessary to insist
uuon the need Of good will on the part
or the British press and public opinion.
There are writer's and journals in France
that consistently make disingenuous. in
decd virulent. use of every incautious
word or deed uttered or done in England.
These writers and journals do not serve
France or French interests. They may
be merely striving TO prove the consis-
tency Of their harmful and mistaken no
lions. Some OF those notions proceeded
from a belief in an inevitable and incur
able antagonism between Great Britain
and the United States and from the silly
idea that from such antagonism France
The New York herald., 1922-02-01
Would Reopen German Trade.

"As to Germany. we naturally seek
closer business relations with her, all
the more because Of her industrial inn
portance. But we oppose a German
monopoly in Russia in the same way as
we oppose an English one and in the
same spirit in which We oppose an in
ternational consortium. Russia's rela-
tions with Germany can have an anti
French intent only If France becomes
ant-Russian. The Soviet Government
goes to Genoa changed from what it was
four years ago. Then we would have
agreed to anything, believing the devil
was about to get us or our enemies. To-
day we know he won't get us and not
our enemies in the near future, so we
are going to be careful not to promise
what we cannot also perform
"A lot has been written in anticipa-
ton of the guarantees we are to give.
We are expected to hold up two fingers
and solemnly swear to the sacredness Of
private property in Russia. The same
people who laughed at us for trying to
introduce communism with Soviet de-
crees are asking us now to establish
capitalism in the same way. Make it
your interest to safeguard private prop
erty and we will not be blind to our in
terest. Come to Russia with capital
give work to Russian men and feed
them. Then you are serving the Rus
sian people and no government could
abide in Russia which did not safeguard
services to the Russia people. A
formula does not give test to facts,
but facts to the formula. All arrange
ments guaranteeing property such as
civil courts will come as a natural
course.
