BABSON SEES GAS BOMB AS GREAT
 FINANCIAL FACTOR IN OLD WORLD

"A very interesting fact has de= veloped in connection with the eon- ference for the limitation of arma- ments, At first thought this fact makes one feel very discouraged but on further analysis 1t has some very optimistic features, In other words the one thing which Is causing the conference the greatest trouble, may be the one thing that Is to bring the nations together, refer to the gas bomb.
 Tt Is n simple matter to make an agreement relative 10 the building Of hattleships and to hold nations to such an agreement, IL takes couple of years to build good battleship and 1t Is impossible to hide battle ships. The nations of the world know when any nation lays down n new keel for a new battlcship. Battle ships cannot be kept in safety deposit vaults or hid in government build ings. The limitation of submarines and certain other forms of armnments Is also practically possible. Big ber- thas are not as cumbersome as bat tie ships: gun factories arc more cas- fly hid than ship yards; but in the long run the making of these cannot be kept q secret
 Tt, however, is absolutely impossi- hle to keep in touch with the manu- facture of gas bombs. The German government could keep in the base ment of one of its palaces, enough compressed gas to destroy all the peo- pie in Paris and Il good proportion of the French army. Therefore. though all nations might agree on the limita- ton of gas from warfare, yet there would be no way to enforce such an agreement. Moreover as the com mercal interests of the world demand the building and use of airplanes in times Of peace, the means will always be available for the dropping of gas bombs Hence, although the confer ence may be successful in limiting the building of battleships, submar- | ines and even other things, yet it is helpless in limiting the manufacture of gas bombs, the most dangerous and deadly of all implements of war.
 "As a result of this the delegates are passing through, a most interest ing spiritual renaissance. They came to Washington armed with statistics and accompanied by the greatest legal talent of their countries. They are gradually coming to believe that fig ures and agreements are of little value and that they need specialists on feelings" rather than on figures In short those who came to scoff have remained to pray. There is a strong belief among the delegates. of today that the only solution of our international problems is the golden
