ARMS CONFERENCE
VALUE IS DOUBTED
Italian Policy Thrown Into
Relief by Article in
Roman Paper.

By the Associated Press.
ROME, December 2S.-Italy's re-
alistic policy in foreign affairs Is
again thrown into relief by a long
and apparently inspired article pub
lished by the Messaggero on the
forthcoming arms conference. Citing
grave doubts on the practical value
of such a meeting, the article de-
clareS 1t is impossible to accept a
reduction or limitation OF ornaments
which definitely sanctions the SUI
periority of one nation over others.
If II is desired seriously to guar
antee world peace" the paper con-
tinues, the bases of the problem
must be charged, substituting for
limitation an equality of ornaments.
This does not mean that China or
Uruguay should have navies equal
to that of Great Britain, but simply
that the latter should not be superior
to that Of Italy or France.
Fleet i'm Mediterranean.
why should England keep in the
Mediterranean the biggest and best
of her naval forces and assure abso-
lutte mastery of the Hellenic Sea
when Italy, France and Spain have
guaranteed freedom of passage toward
India and the Far East"
The Messaggero gives insignificant
juxtaposition the news of America =
participation in the conference and
the recent recommendation of the
United States War Department to
Congress for a notable increase In
the armed forces of the United
States. 1t places particular emphasis
upon the program calling for increas-
ed fertilization of the Panama Canal
and the establishment of Il naval
base at Pearl Harbor.
Menace Not Comprehended.
After outlining the recommenda-
tions. the paper says that what men
ace would warrant such a program
is incomprehenSible, and adds:
Nobody thinks of attacking the
United States or bringing into the
discussion the principles of the Mon
roe doctrine; certainly not Japan,
which after the earthquake and other
calamities has been forced to reduce.

Strinqina the Chinese

CTRINGS as long as from here to Hall
~ fax are attached to the promise OF
the great powers TO discuss with China
the question of allowing her TO run her
own courts in her own territory.
First, Pekin has been warned that "evi-
dences of its ability and willingness to
enforce respect for the safety OF foreign
lives and property" must be given before
eXtrateriltorial privileges will be yielded.
This means Chinese workers must not
go on strike for better conditions in the
foreign-owned cotton mills and elsewhere.
lest the act be interpreted as lacking
respect" for foreign property.
II also means they must not strike back
when foreign police shoot down unarmed
students parading thru the streets of Chi
nese cities-as recently happened-lest the
act be regarded rs lacking respect for
foreign lives.
In short. they must take kicks. cuffs
and other foreign favors lying down.
Next, the powers make it perfectly
plain that the mere establishment of
courts and the enactment of laws in con-
fornity with their views will not suffice.
China is told she must first establish "a
stable government"
This, in itself, is mighty long string.
Nine years ago our own congress promised
independence to the Philippine islands as
soon as the Filipinos could establish "a
stable government" Such government
has been functioning nearly decade now
and the Filipinos seem farther from indie
pendence than ever.
Not only will the great powers inevitably
have the say as to when China has "a
stable government" but individually moth
ing is to prevent them promoting civil
wars between the provinces in the future
as in the past. Most of China's recent
wars have been between native tuchuns
in foreign pay.
Anyhow, Chinas troubles are far deeper
than extraterlitoriality And it won't help
her particle if that were given up now.
She is the victim of her own corrupt poll
ticians lending themselves to foreign
intrigue for gold. She must find way
to get rid of these boodlers and medders,
both foreign and domestic before she will
have even Chinamans chance of getting
back on her feet
