Aerial Disarmament
Seen Ringing on France

It is not So expensive TO build air
planes and dirigibles as il is to con
struct cruisers and battleships, but
the aerial armament race has assumed
such large proportions that there Is
a general feeling that 1t should De
halted as the naval construction race
was halted by the Washington CON
ference. This feeling had been ao-
mirably voiced by Prime Minister
Macdonald. who had officially stated
his Willingness to cooperate In any
movement for the calling OF new
disarmament conference. He refralnS
from taking the initiative because he
is uncertain as to whether or not his
suggestion would be favorably. re-
ceived. He is in a receptive mood,
and would welcome any opening
which would lead to international
economy and at the same time
strengthen the security of the worlds
peace. ,
No one doubts that the next war"
if there is to be next war-wilt
be fought largely in the air. The de-
yelopment of aerial warfare during
advance in aviation and in the con-
struction of aerial fighting machines
leave no room for question. France.
limited by the Washington agree
ment to an inferior navy, has beeH
seeking to make herself the foremos'
aerial power. Great Britain has been
forced to spend large sums in meet
ing this French advance. Prime Min
lister Macdonald, who is an ardenI
advocate of the Anglo French entente
and who believes that European Sc
curity is largely dependent on the
maintaining of this entente. deploreS
anything resembling a warlike COM
petition.
France should be willing to meet
Macdonald half way. And if France
and Great Britain are desirous of Il
general agreement il is far from
likely that any other nation will feel
impelled to interpose objections. In
principle the folly of aerial compe
tition is as great as the folly of naval
competition, and if naval disarma-
ment is wise aerial disarmament is
equally commendable. - Cleveland

Ret11n of the Experts.

Charles c.. Dawes, Owen d. Young
and Henry NJ. Robinson, American
members of the expert commission on
German reparations, reached home
yesterday on the I.eviathan, having
finished their task in Europe. Antici-
rating a bombardment of questions,
these three commissioners had pre-
pared a statement which expressed
their views on the situation, and beyond
which they would not go in significant
personal comment. The plan in the
preparation of which they have con-
tributed must stand for itself. Their
summary of the situation is as follows:
The plan means much to the allies; it
means more to Germany in her present
economic condition. II asks her TO as
sumo a burden OF taxation commen-
,'urate with, but not greater than, that
Of the other countries of Europe. 1t
,ioes not require impairment of her
standard of living. We have assumed
the good faith of Germany in the ac-
"eptance and execution of d plan which
she is able to fulfill. Every step taken by
Germany thus far indicates that our
assumption is we'll founded. The prompt
acceptance of the reports by the repara-
ton commission and by the allied gov
srnments leads US to hope that the time
Of substantial controversy is passed, and
mat of concerted action by the European
.4llieS and Germany is at hand.
It is distinctly gratifying to the peo-
pic of this country that the services Of
three American economists have been
rendered so effectively to Europe in
this crisis. They saw the situation
e-Dr,, an ,r,ar4iaI non @al;tioa1 ,,o;rt
Of view, and were able without preju-
dice to analyze it and TO propose rene
dies
Nothing that the American experts
have said at any stage of the matter
affords ground for computing the part
they played in drafting this plan of
reparauons. But it is known, never
theless, that they were chiefly instru-
mental in proposing and securing the
adoption of the present project. 1t has
been called the Dawes plan" Gen.
Dawes himself deprecates this designa-
ton, and urges that the report was
that of the entire committee. He gen
crously says that Mr.. Young was one
Of the best minds in its preparation.
Notwithstanding this modesty, it is
known here, as it is probably known
abroad, that the American experts
solved the problem. 1t is impossible
10 estimate the value Of their contribu-
ton to European peace and stability.
Thus through them the United States
has rendered an invaluable service.
Europe was on the point of economic
collapse through the failure of 4 plan
for this adjustment. That plan is now
provided, has received approval and is
At the point Of execution. In it's execu-
ton the United States will be called
upon to contribute in terms of loan
which American bankers stand ready
20 underwrite. In 1917-1S American
troops went to Europe for its salvation
from conquest by a selfish militant
power. 1t has lately gone there through
its economic experts for the solution
OF a cruelty difficult problem. 1t will
now go once more to the rescue with
its dollars to make that solution ef-
fective.

The Primaries Today.

Voters IN both parties in Massachu-
setts and Ohio are going to the polls
today to choose delegates TO the two
national conventions. The outcome
promises to be a one-sided affair in
each state. Massachusetts,, Of course,
will stand by President Coolidge's
candidacy, only one candidate for dis
trict delegate having expressed opposi-
tion to him, and he is practically as
sured Of the thirty-eight other dele
gates.
In Ohio, former Coy. james NJ. Cox
is expected TO receive the support Of
the Democratic delegation, although
William c.. McAdoo is in the field as
d candidate for the nomination. On
the Republican ticket Senator johnson
Of California is q candidate, and has
made Il vigorous campaign in the
state, having delivered many speeches
at various intervals. The politicians
think that Ohio will repeat what oc-
CURED in Illinois, where the California
senator also made a strenuous cam
paign which proved unavailing when
the voters went TO the polls.
y side issue in the Ohio primaries IS
the candidacy Of former Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty for delegate. The opin-
ion is said to be that his candidacy
will not affect President Coolidge's
fortunes. When these two states have
spoken there will be little left Of in
terest in the primaries except next
week in California, Senator Johnson's s
own state, where he has been making
n fight for the delegation.
