Effect ON America.
The alternative of selling at cost or
less than cost will mean supercompe-
tition in the world market. This will
come home to us in the United States,
because the effect will be to cut down
heavily our own exports, which are
already declining, and thereby force
our SURPRISES back upon home mar
kets and cause supercompetition
among ourselves.
1t will, therefore, pay Americans to
help Europe out of her difficulties. The
way out for Europe is to adopt the
same scientific production methods
mass production and mass distribu-
tion--which are proving so effective
here; and good business policy re-
quires Americans to help bring this
about.
Mass production would enable for
elgn industries to operate at full
capacity, pay high wages, sell at low
prices and thereby build up strong
home markets. With industries oper-
ating profitably at home. manufacture
ers could sell at a profit in the worlds
markets what each country Ia
equipped 20 produce cheapest and
best. In this way. and in this way
alone. can European countries again
become prosperous customers for our
snrpluses. and so help US to continue
our prosperity.

An economic warfare has developed
ing all the rest of the world in its
effects. This sprang from a lesson of
the war: That many industries in
time Of emergency could be converted
into war industries. Consequently,
each nation has felt 1t necessary to
prepare for future conflict. 1t does
this not only with armed forces, cam
non and poison gas, but also by MAIN
tanning, through special tariffs, es-
sential war industries for which in
many cases the country is not suited.
The inevitable effect of these special
tariff barriers and other re-
strictions on international trade has
been to destroy the export markets of
the several nations. AS result the
nom exportable SURPRISES of goods
have forced cut-throat competition at
home, with partial stoppage OF pro-
duction. The result Is general bust
ness depression, higher living costs,
wages and extensive unem-
ployment (added to the already heavy
burden Of debts left by the war;. with
all their inherent danger to political
Export Markets Needed.
Today, therefore, more than ever
the countries OF Europe need export
in order to obtain gold with
which to balance budgets, stabilize
currencfes and meet debt obligations.

ports with which to guarantee its
currency, greater and greater imitation
occurs; and as prices and the cost of
living are raised by these processes
the difficulty Of preserving a decent
standard Of living increases.

growing worse, all European nations

next two or three years, at least, to

made by the then Secretary Of State Charles
Evans Hughes, who headed the American dele
CATION. 1t was proposed that the tonnage OF
the various kinds of naval vessels be limited
for the three nations as follows: Capital ships,
United States and Great Britain, 100000 tons
each, and Japan. 100000; auxiliary surface
craft, United States and Great Britain, 900
tons each, and Japan. 100000; submarines.
United States and Great Britain, 10000 tons
each. and Japan, $4,000 aircraft carriers.
United States and Great Britain, $4,000 tons
each, and Japan, $4,000
The British through Lord Balfour, head of
the delegation, accepted the entire proposal
after several days of consideration. Addressing
the conference, Balfour said:
"The government of the country which /
represent is in the fullest and the heartest
sympathy with the policy which the United
States has brought before us for our considera.
ton. They have as we think most rightly,
taken the battle fleet the aggressive unit
which they have in the main to consider: and
in the battle fleet you must include those auxil-
larry ships, without which modern battle fleet
has neither eyes nor ears has little power of
defense against certain forms of attack, and
little power of observation, little power of deal
ing with any foe to which it may be opposed.
Taking those two really belonging to one
subject, the battleships themselves and the ves-
sells auxiliary and necessary to battle fleet,
think that the proposition between the vari-
ton of amounts is reasonable; we think it
should be accepted. and we firmly believe it will
be accepted"
France Stirs New ISSUE
But after France had demanded 300 900 tons
Of auxiliary craft and 5000 tons of submarines,
The British insisted upon the right to build
any auxiliary surface craft which she deemed
necessary to deal with the situation. This
however, was not rejection of the 5-5-3
ratio as it applied to the United States.
For the Japanese Mr.. Hanihara said that
delegation Thought it would be q misfortune
IL the conference failed to come to an agree
ment as regards the limitation of auxiliary
combatant craft, but, generally speaking, to
maintain the tonnage allotment of auxiliary
craft provided in the original American pro.
posal Of November IL Q921), in order that an
agreement might be reached between the pow.
ers concerned on this basis and that full and
final success Of the conference might thus be
assured"
Here was acceptance by Japan Of the
5-5-3 ratio as it applied to auxiliary craft
as we'll as by Great Britain. II the ratio was
just in 1922. Americans will ask, is it not
just now. as between the three powers in ques-
ton?

~HE United States, at Geneva tomorrow
enters into a naval limitation confer.
with Great Britain and Japan,
seeking to minimize the probabilities
of war, to lessen the burden upon the taxpay-
ing people and to put stop to in
naval construction, developed since the close
of the Washington arms conference.
These are laudable objects. President Cool
idge had them In mind when he issued the in
vitation for the naval limitation conference at
Geneva.
But the United States must not. and the
American delegates at Geneva will not, over
look the fact that the proper defense of this
country is not to be bartered away in order
that something of an agreement may be
reached by the three great naval powers at
Geneva.
The United States is going into the Geneva
conference prepared to ask that the 5-5-3
ratio applied to capital ships and aircraft car.
riers at the Washington conference, in 1922, be
extended to auxiliary naval craft-to cruisers,
destroyers, submarines and other lesser vessels.
This ratio puts the navies OF the United States
and Great Britain on parity. 1t puts the navy
of Japan in the ratio Of 3 to as compared
with the navies Of the United States and Great
Britain

comes of the 5--5-3 ratio developed at the

sessions demand a greater cruiser strength
than is needed by the United States What
becomes OF the 5-5-3 ratio under such argu.
ments?
Comes further from Great Britain the sug-
gestion that "for the sake Of economy the
tonnage Of cruisers be limited to 5000 tons,
instead of 10000, as provided in the naval limi-
tation treaty growing out Of the Washington
conference.
On its surface, this last proposition looks
like both a peace and economy move. But
American naval authorities looking below
the surface. 1t is essential they do If Ameri.
can national defense is not to be forgotten.
They find, for example, that Great Britain is
far better supplied with naval bases than the
United States, even paraeling the coast OF
this country, and that the smaller cruisers
can be operated much more effectively with
ample naval bases than they without such

Boston. Dec. 16.-UP) ica's law in stitutlons are most thoroughly the institutions of 17th century England with the exception of the attitude toward the trial judge. Dean Roscoe Pound Of the Harvard law school declared in a speech here last night.
 "The whole procedure has been to limit him. Dean Pound said, speaking of the trial judge" to tie him down; to prescribe everything for him with the possible exception of assigning the hook upon which he shall hang is hat and coat"
 Dean Pound pointed out that no other country had given its appellate court justices such powers as had the United States.
 Three periods of law development in this country, coinciding with three waves of mmigration-from England. Scotland and Ireland accounted for the attitude toward the trial judge, he declared, for tyrannical judges in the three named countries accounted for the emigra- ton.

he beloved by Americans; his is honored through
the world his story has been translated into many

The simplicity of his character the sublimity OF his
courage and devotion to duty above ALL his broad SYM
pahy for those who toll for the oppressed and the un-
fortunate have about his memory halo OF re-
verece that shall last as long time itself.
AS youth struggling for knowledge in the mean
backwoods life of frontier country; little known
lawyer defending petty year after year as the
leader of great involving the life OF his country
and of millions of his countrymen; as beneflcent
friend to his late enemies when the cause was won,
rather than ruthless conqueror, Lncoln's intense
humanity stands the dominating trait in an un-

Recently enjoyed account of Lincoln's life by
an Englishman-Lord Charnwood. Written with the
advantage of 90 year background since Llncon's
