after the long series of discussions,
We're giving some attention to the
question OF what would be the re-
action to the suggestion in the
joint declaration adopted at the f.
nal session that the second Wash
ington conference. set for August
1881, be advanced to an earlier
date. 1t was explained that this
suggestion was made with a view
to putting into effect before the
capital ship construction program
started in November of that year,
any conclusions reached at the sec
ond Washington conference.
While there was general regret
that the conference failed of its
real end-a treaty for the limita-
ton of auxiliary naval craft, cruis-
ers, destroyers and submarines -
the pleasure of all the parties con-
cerned could not be concealed over
the fact that the parting was SO
cordial. It was a course of consid-
cradle satisfaction that the declara-
ton pointed out that the extent of
the agreement reached and the
work accomplished toward clarity
ing the positions of the countries
concerned would make a reconcile
alton of the divergent views and the
attainment of an agreement on
limitation of auxiliary vessels pos
sible at an early date.
The underlying cause OF the
breakup was the insistence of
Great Britain that the United States
should build about II 10,000-ton
cruisers having S-inch guns. viz
tually restricting her other cruisers
to 5000 tons having G-inch guns,
and the countcr-insistcnce Of the

Profit From Experience

Mindful Of the G~ster to their party which fol-
lowed the rrOtracted strife 49, marked the Madison
Square Garden convention, those wHe are promoting
the. presidential aspirations OF Governor smiiS sse in
tent upon finding some way by which harmony in the
1928 convention can be assured.
The most hopeful prospect Of the 1898 convention,
from their viewpoint, is that there will be no William
G. McAdoo to oppose Governor Smith and cause a
deadlock. Smith leaders, however, are not 50 conf
dent that the prohibition question will not be injected
into the convention, and they frankly admit that the
only way to prevent a repetition Of the 1924 battle is
to keep that vexing in the offing.
The anti-Smith group OF 1924. after McAdoo took
himself out Of the pre-eonvention race, has been
without a leader, and as yet there is no indication that
they viii be able to unite upon a standard bearer be-
fore the next convention. Some modern Bryan may
arise to lead them, but this is hardly probable.
The wet-and dry-issue, which furnished Mr.. Nc
Adoo and his following their chief ammunition, and
the religious question which came to the surface in
1924 in the bitter clash over a proposal to embody an
anti-klan resolution in the national platform. will
doubtless be present and is even more likely to cause
trouble, due to the apparently sure prospect now that
Governor Smith win be the nominee.
Strategists in the Smith camp, who for weeks have
been bordering the problem Of how 20 shape out Of
discordant elements a peaceful convention, have been
very s~eeretivs regarding their deliberations. They ad-
nit that q tentative plan has been worked out, but
has not yet received the governors sanction. IL 1t
becomes effective, they state, the democratic national
convention will proceed TO make its nominations with
full knowledge that unless there is assurance that
Governor Smith can be nominated on one Of the early
ballots he will not be a contender for the nomination.
In connection with this plan it has been said by
Smith supporters that it was not intended to hold the
possible withdrawal OF the candidate more likely to
win a victory for his party than any other that the
convention could name as a threat over that gather
ing. IL was to be regarded, it was said. as an indica-
tion that the governor, realizing how likely a long
drawn-out conflict over candidates would be to result
in a serious split within the party, was not willing TO
be placed in a position where he could be charged
with permitting personal ambition to stand in the way
OF party harmony.
Governor Smith is well aware that if he be nom
mated after q fight such as marked the democratic
convention Of 1924 the nomination would be Of no val.
No to the party or himself. Party harmony would de.
mand that concessions be made, and the Smith follow
ing would doubtless rather preserve a harmonious
party than to nominate their candidate.
