GAS WARFARE


Unanimously and almost without discussion the
powers represented at the Washington conference
bound themselves not to use asphy xiating materials
in other words, suffocating gases, weapon in
warfare and they invited other powers to join in
the agreement The action is one that all right
thinking people throughout the world approve.
The Hague conference of 1899 in an article of the
international code prohibited the use OF gas in war
fare and Germany agreed to it. Violating the rule
was one OF the crimes ofGermany in the late war
The Versailles treaty OF peace, to which it was
forced to agree, forbids it to import manufac-
ture materials for waging war with noxious gases
In these times of peace the whole world holds
strongly the opinion that gas warfare is abhorrent
to civilization. Can then hope that the world
has thereby abolished it? Many an eminent mill
tary here abroad who himself detests the
practice and condemns it as inhuman nevertheless
believes that no international agreement, however
it may be dignified by termng in international law,
will prevent the of gas. Those who hold that
belief predict that some country facing imminent
disaster, will repeat the offense of Germany. In
that event the enemies of the offender would regard
themselves forced to the same weapon,
though solenlnly bound to refrain from using it.,
That is exactly what happened when Germany
launched the first gas campaign at Ypres Great
Britain and France began as soon possible to use
gas and the United States used it as soon as it
entered the Few, perhaps of the American
people aware of the scale on which we are pre-
pared to it. of the service that we thereby rem
dered to the allied cause thereby The war ended
too soon to allow what we had done and were doing
to be fully available; but when it is konwn that we
could turn out a hundred tons of iquefied chic
r!ne a day, and producing in large quantities
many other chemical products to be used in gas
warfare, it will be that we chose the violation
OF the law by Germany releasing us from any OBJ
legation to obey it, In the space of nine months
starting literally from nothing, we built plant to
manufacture poison gas that employed ten thousand
Ellen and that in full operation when the war
ended
The possibility Of recurrence of conditions that
would end all discussions and break the agreement
70 abolish the practice is the reason why military
llen in several countries believe it to be dangerous
% discontinue measures that would enable the gov
.rnments quickly to produce gas in large quantities.
It is to be hoped that they will preach to deaf ears
Ne have no right to that the present CON
ract will not be kept. No country that Joined it
an be regarded Us sincere if it builds or retains
Giants fitted exclusively or even chiefly for pro-
lucing poison gas No pretense that it is for self
protection will deceive anyone If no country
makes gas for sef-defense there will be none for
