The pattern is so ingeniously ar

goes without saying that America
will not be party to any proposals
that would require us to cut down
our skeleton army below it's already
slender proportions.
Ship Cut Favored.
Things are different as to further
limitation OF naval armament. The
United States is just as ready today
as Ii was when the scheme was frus-
trated in Washington in 1922 to ad-
yocate an agreement to limit auxiliary
naval craft. The Hughes plan,
which the former conference adopted
virtually in full with regard to capital
ships (battieships. armored cruisers
and aircraft-carriers), provided for a
limitation Of light
cruisers, torpedo boat destroyers, sub
marines and airplanes. But that haf
of the American program was
wrecked, mainly on account of the OBJ
jections of France. which was deter
mined to retain without restriction
the power to protect itself against
of the seas by Great Brit
aims superior fleet Of capital ships.
The French think that with a great
fleet of submarines and destroyers
they would always be able to hold
Britain at bay. particularly in the
sea lanes through
which France would derive her sup
plies Of troops and other sinews OF
war from her African colonies.
The Washington conference was as
much q success as ii was because
Secretary Hughes confronted the
naval powers with concrete PROPOSE
tions based on tonnage allotments for
capital ships. There is reason to be-
lieve that the American delegation at
Geneva in May will submit some
equally specific program for the limi-
tation of auxiliary craft. Our people
will very urgently represent the Cool

ARMAMENT ENJOYS
HAVE CLEAR PLANS.
U. S. ParIey Delegation Will
Seek Completion of Un-
finished Task.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Americas delegation to the pre-
liminary arms conference at Geneva
will sail from New York on May
/, with definite instructions as to the
United States Governments hopes and
wishes. These can be tersely stated.
America seeks, first, the taking up of
the business left unfinished at the
Washington armament conference of
1922; and, secondly, only such fur.
ther limitation of ornaments as takes
fully into consideration the funda-
mental question of security and world
problems" as they exist at the present
moment.
The unfinished business of the
Washington conference concerned the
limitation of construction Of auxiliary
naval craft Cruisers, destroyers, sub
marines and aircraft). The world
problems which the United States
has mainly in mind are certain
potential causes Of conflict throughout
the world, in which it might be\ neces
sary for this country some day to
take a vigorous hand. 1t is not the
desire of the Coolidge administration
that in such emergencies America
should be without the armed strength
TO assert itself with adequate force
fulness. Nor is it our expectation
that other countries are unmindfuF
Of such considerations.
10 L. S. Delegates.
The United States delegation at
at Geneva, where proceedings are
due to begin on May II, consists of
10 men. The chief of the delegation
is Hugh S. Gibson, American Min.
lister to Switzerland, who has as his
diplomatic lieutenants Allen w.
Dulles and Dorsey Richardson Of the
State Department and Allen r. Wins
low, secretary of Mr.. Gibson's lega-
ZION at Berne. The War Department
is represented by Maj. Gen. Dennis
Z. Nolan, Brig. Gen. II. A. Smith and
Maj. George V. Strong. The Navy
Departments representatives are
Rear Admiral Hilary r. Jones, Rear
Admiral Andrew I. Long and Capt.
,Adolphus Andrews. Subordinate
military and naval advisers may be
added to the delegation, as becomes
necessary, by drawing on our
European staff of Army and Navy
attaches,
Nothing of any definite character
will be done by the representatives
of the comforting powers at Geneva.
They are meeting purely as a pre-
paratory commission. Their job is
TO find out whether any proposals
for any treaties or agreements fur
ther to limit ornaments can be work
ed out and laid before a general con-
ference or conferences with any real
hope of success. But the Geneva
curtain-raiser is expected to deter
mine with a good deal of clearance
whether or not the future holds out
any prospect of relieving the nations
of existing armament burdens.
Security Will Be Urged.
Although our spokesnlen' in Switz-
Nrland will leave no doubt of the
coolidge administration desire to
continue the limitation work begun
at Washington four years ago, they
will not put forth any Utopian no
ions. On the contrary, they will
stress the fundamental necessity of
national security as the only basis
upon which any country can afford

states is geographically far more

The reason for this is simple. While
the circuits controlled by the second

fact that they are both fed from the

tuned by the first condenser is being
energized by the antenna and ground
system. and is therefore unlike the
