FIGURE THIS IN

When you consider the accomplish
ments Of the ornaments conference,
remember one thing that its achieve
ments are not to be measured by re-
auctions in military expenditures only.
Prior to the conference, all the nations
were in competition for greater navies
and armies. Our annual apprOpria
tons for military purposes were ON the
increase. and but for the conference,
they would have continued to increase.
The most that anyone hoped to accom-
plish at the conference was check
Of the increase In fact the confer
ence was officially referred to as a
conference on Limitations of arma-
ments." But under the Hughes pro
posals, much more was accomplished
than anyone thought possible. There
was not only IA checking Of increases
but an agreement for decreases. There
fore. when you figure up the saving,
you may properly add to the reduced
military appropriations the sum that
certainly would have been appropriate
ed in excess of previous expenditures
If the old practice of keen competition
had been kept up.
