FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

I'm 1927 the United States and
Canada paid ont approximately
81. 100000 for losses and for
protection and insurance against
fire. The actual fire loss amount
ed to S5OO.OOO,0OO, the balance of
the huge sum paid out going to
the upkeep Of fire departments, the
maintenance OF water supplies for
fire fighting and the payments Of
insurance premiums. On tins
basis the two countries are paying
an annual rate of 3 per cent on a
total business of $5O,000,000,000
and, furthermore, they have been
paving approximately that rate
for their heedleSsnesS and careless
ness in the mater Of fire waste, for
years. The value of the property
destroyed during the last forty
wears is estimated at $7,000,000,-
900, and at the burning rate estab-
lished last year the value OF the
property destroyed in the next
forty wears will reach S20,000,-
100000.
In additional to the actual loss
from fire waste, the two countries
must go on paying out annually
in fire insurance premiums and for
the upkeep for tire fighting facili-
ties something like , per cent on
S5O,OOO.OOO,OO0. The value of
the annual business turnover in
this country is variously estimated
at from S50,O0O,0O0,000 to sos
OOO,OOO,OOO.
1t seems incredible that the
business Of the country could
stand such a tax, and yet the fig
urcS are reliable and they do not
lie. Without knowing what it has
amounted to percentage OF buSf-
ness turnover. the two countries
have gone ON carrying the burden
in sort OF iataliStic spirit, feel
ing perhaps that it was inevitable.
Yet the burden can be liehtcncd
materially. In the first place, high
insurance and premiums reflect i
high burning rate. \ reduction
in fire waste means a reduction i'll
fire premiums. With a normal
burning rate, based on European
experience, we might even hope
to cut down the expense OF main
fire departments. Fire
Prevention Week viii be observed
in this country from October ;
TO o and it should be more than
a formal observance.

ARMS FARLEY FAILURE

The much boosted arms con-
ference treaties, it IS now believed,
viii never be ratified by all OF the
five nations whose representatives
negotiated these treaties in Wash
ington last winter. For months
the Harding administration boast
ed OF these treaties as is greaeSt
achievement. but of late no men
ton has been made TO them.
The United States, Great Brit
ain and Japan have ratified the
treaties. but France and Italy the
other two powers have not and
until they do not a ship will be
scrapped nor viii there be a re-
duction OF single dollar IN taxa
ton for the American people. The
failure of the treaties thus far has
come as a keen disappointment to
the high hopes of the whole world.
This failure IS due TO both the
present situation in Europe and
to the languid interest OF the
Harding administration in the
fate of the treaties from the be-
ginning.
Great Britain was opposed to
signing a naval disarmament
treaty without the participation OF
both France and Italy. That IS
chiefly why the two latter powers
we're invited to send representa-
tives to the conference. Since the
close of the conference the rcla-
tons between Great Britain and
France have been none too friend
" for working allies and for more
than generation France and Italy
have been rivals in the Mediter-
ranian and the Near East 1t Is
now regarded as extremely doubt
ful that France and Italy would
consent to scrap their navieS TN
less great pressure is brought upon
them by Washington. And Great
Britain observes that at this very
moment she would be helpless in
the straits OF Gallipolli without
the very battle ships she agreed at
Washington to scrap.
But from the outset the heart
OF the Harding administration
was never enlisted in the naval
disarmament venture. When Ser
aror Borah made his move i'm the
Senate for naval disarmament the
President put every obstacle i'll the
way OF the move that he coulC
command. But public sentiment
proved to be too strong tor bot
