One Hundred Cleared.

When the armament limitation
conference devised plan for re-
ducing naval expenditure. it was
hoped that war weary world would
Jump al the chance to chuck off some
Of its burdens. But while three Of
the signatory powers signed these
treaties promptly, il has proved
difficult to get them by the other
two.
The Italian Chamber of Deputies
has now removed one difficulty in
the way of these agreements, by
ratifying the treaties by nearly
unanimous vote. Now if France
will do the same thing, it will pro-
mote its friendship with the United
States. When the French ask why
sentiment has cooled a little in this
country toward their people they
have only to look at the long delay
in ratifying the naval limitation
treaty, as one cause that has alenat-
cd some sympathy for their cause.
