Three Power Conference
The object of the three-power
naval conference is to complete
the work of limitation of naval
strength begun at the fiye-power
conference in Washington. There
a treaty was signed in 1922 limit
ing the tonnage of battleships for
the United States. Great Britain,
Japan, France and Italy, limiting
also the total tonnage of air
craft carriers and limiting the
size of individual cruisers to ten
thousand tons. The Washington
treaty laid down the now famous
ratio of 5-5-3 and resulted in the
scrapping of a large number of
battleships.
BY the treaty, Great Britain
was permitted to have total bat
tleship tonnage of $4,000 tons,
The United States the same ton
mage, Japan, 315,000, and France
and Italy each 175,000 tons. The
giving to France and Italy of a
lower ratio than to the others
caused in later years consider
able criticism, especially in France
where it was openly stated that
France could never accept a sim
liar ratio for auxiliary craft, de-
stroyers and submarines, which
are to be treated at today's
conference.
Maximum Tonnage
The Washington Treaty fixed
35, 1000 tons standard displacement
as the maximum tonnage of each
capital ship to be constructed by
the signatories, and fixed the
maximum calibre of guns aboard
at 16 inches. The total tonnage
for aircraft carriers was placed at
1876 900 tons for the United States
and Great Britain, $1,000 tons for
Japan: and $4,000 tons each for
France and Italy.
Although the treaty fixed the
maximum tonnage of individual
cruisers at 10000 and the maxi
mum gun calibre aboard at z
inches, no limit was placed upon
the number of cruisers that any
signatory could construct. And
one result of this fact has been
that both Great Britain and Japan
have built up cruiser forces in
excess of that of the United
States.
A feature of the Washington
conference was the United States

EXAMPLE IN BUILDING.

One of the most outstanding ex
amples of the solid construction and
interior and exterior beauty of the
homes of our fOrefathers is Nassal
House, the residence of President John
Adams.
The house was built in pre- Revolu-
tionary days and purchased by John

bers of his family made altera tons
and additions which made the man.
sion unique in America.
The interior was remarkable in many
ways, particularly one room, which
was wainscoted from floor to ceiling
in solid mahogany. 1t was in this
house that John Adams received Gen.
Lafayette upon his visit to America
in 1925.

COPPER EXPORTERS, INC, Will
BRING CONSUMPTION OF COPPER
CLOSER With PRODUCTION Line

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.--(F1--A world
wide export Association recently form
ed to control the marketing of copper
has started to function as part of an
ambitious project to bring the con-
sumption of the red metal into closer
alignment with production, valued an
nually at nearly $5OO,000,O00.
Under the plan formulated by the
new Copper Exporters, Inc, American
methods of direct selling will be ex-
tended to the international markets in
an effort to Increase trade, stabilize
prices abroad and combat harmful
speculation.
For many Years ATTEMPTS to cult
vate world trade in copper have been
t h w'arted by denoralizing, price
changes caused by factors other than
supply and demand. The price Of cop-
per in many foreign markets has been
dominated largely by the action of
spectators without any financial in
terest in the production of the metal.
