morrow, for the new Ford is not only new
in appearance and performance :. it is
new in mechanical design. Many features
oft are exclusive Ford developments. Some
are wholly new in automobile practice.
Its low price is a reflection of nlanufactur-
ing improvements and economies that are
as epoch-making as the Car itself.
Nineteen years of experience in building
100000 automobiles are behind the
new Ford car and have counted in its
making. Resources unmatched in the
motor Car industry are its heritage and
its birthright.
The Ford policy of owning the source
of raw materials, of making virtually every
part, of doing business at small profit
per Car, has cut many dollars off the price
you would ordinarily have to pay for
car like this.
So we say to you-learn about this
new Ford car tomorrow. Compare it
with any other car in the light-car field

speed-for quick acceleration for fex-
ibility in traffic +. for steadiness at all

US. NAVAL STRENGTH DEPENDS ON RESULT
 IF GENEVA FARLEY
IF TRiPARTITE CONFERENCE FAILS WILL WEAKEN LEAGUE
 OF NATIONS

GENEVA, June 24. P)-Whether Great Britain and Japan are ready to agree on Animation, if not reduc- ton, of their naval strength is the question which the American govern ment desires to see answered at the three power naval conference which opened here June 20.
 The answer-affirmatiWe or mega tive, as the case may be-is expect ed to determine whether the United States will be content with keeping up her present naval power, or, push ed into preparedness, decide to de- velop considerably her fleets, per haps, indeed, entering naval arma- ment race, which President Coolidge has indicated he wishes to avoid. 1 ident Coolidge, is vital for the three participants, the United States, Great Britain and Japan, but in a wider sense it's result is expected to influnce the problem of world dis armament in it's entirety.
 If satisfactory, experts are con- vinced it will help forward the gen. eral conference for reduction of armaments-sea, land and air which the League of Nations is pre- pairing. If the tripartite barley fails they believe it will weaken the gen. eral league movement, already en- feebled by the failure of the prepara- tory disarmament commission to se- cure accord on big issues, including that of the best methods of reducing navies.
 The object of the three-power con. ference is to evolve a treaty fo1 the reduction or limitation of maya strength in cruisers. destroyers and submarines. The Washington con ference has already taken care O battleships and aircraft carriers anf limited the size of individual cruis CTS to 10000 tons, though it in nt way restricted the total number oI total tonnage of cruisers which th, great powers may build. Since tht Washington conference both Grea Britain and Japan have jumped ia, ahead of the United States in cruise, strength.
 Counting ships built, building O. projected, American figures show that the United States has IS cruis CTS, Japan 32 and Great Britain n Naval technicians think, however that fairer way of estimating maya power is by comparing the tota tonnage in given type of warship Using this system, we find that the United States possesses a total cruis- CT tonnage of 155,O0O, Japan 211,O55, and Great Britain 454,91O.
 In destroyers, the American posi- ton IS more favorable The United States has, or will have, 2S4 destroy CTS as against POI for Great Britain and 115 for Japan, but many of the American destroyers have been out Of commission since the war. Ameri- can submarines number 126 as a. gainst 90 for Great Britain and 76 l for Japan.
