to bring about a direct discussion be-
tween the responsible legislators OF
Great Britain and the United States as
to naval policy. 1t was even suggested
that I should be prosecuted under a

Facts in Navy Situation.
Now that the shouting and tumult
that accompanied the passage Of the
cruiser bill through the United States
Senate have died away it should be pos
sible to view the actual facts in the
naval situation directly and dispas-
Sionately.
The people of America, who are pay
ing a naval bill Of $3.50 ,ooo, 900 a year,
and who may be called upon to pay
more, are entitled to know what their
money is being spent for and the ne
cessity for the expenditure. They are
entitled to know also what they are re-
ceiving for their money and whether
the return is commensurate with the ex-
penditure.

To understand our naval needs and

review events of the last few years.
Naval Conference Results.
The Washington naval conference of
1922 between the United States, the
British Empire, Japan, France and
Italy put an end to expensive rivalry
in the building of battleships and So
called battle cruisers. 1t placed the
nations, with respect to such ships. on a
relative basis measured by the proper
ton 5-5-3-1 .67-1 .67--for the cour-
tries named, respectively. That agree
ment Is still in effect. 1t will continue
to limit and restrict the building of
large battleships under ordinary peace
conditions until the end of 1886. and
indefinitely after that unless notice of
termination is given by one Of the five
nations party to the treaty.
But the treaty failed to put limita-
ton on smaller fighting units: ships
under 10000 tons each in displacement
and carrying guns not exceeding 8
inches in caliber. Great Britain and
Japan indicated that they were not un-
willing to adopt a ratio basis for
cruisers, destroyers, submarines and
other smaller naval vessels similar to
the plan devised for limiting battle
ship strength. But France and Italy,
having conceded battleship superiority
to the other nations, apparently were
not willing to accept like limitation OF

Six of Edward Grieg's
Letters Given Museum

Six letters written by the famous
Norwegian composer, Edward Grieg, and
covering significant period in his life
have been unearthed by Erling Monson,
Norwegian ship owner in London, who
has presented them to the museum in
Bergen, Grieg's birthplace.
Written in German to a friend in
England, the epistles are dated at diff
ferent times from 1870 to 1894. Those
years witnessed the rise of Grieg from
poor and obscure musician to IA
nous and well-to-do composer. In q
letter dated 1879 he calls himself "ein
kleines kind" Ca small boy) and con-
fesses his great wish to appear in Eng
land, but hesitating to make the jour
ney without an engagement at a fixed
salary.
Ten years later the situation is
changed. Then. in connection with an
impending concert In England to which
| he has been invited to conduct his own
works, Grieg communicates his pler sure
to appear without compensation except
! travelling expenses for himself AMI his
wife.

What happened?
Nations Start Building.
Almost Immediately every country
party to the treaty except the United
States, began a tremendous Shipbuilding
program. The British, after the treaty
was signed, began to build or appro-
priated for rs vessels, with total ton
mage of nearly 100000. Japan built or
appropriated for 127 ships of war or
auxiliary craft, with a tonnage of AS
000-exceeding even Great Britain's
program.
France, with Germany disarmed and
French troops occupying German soil,
laid down or appropriated for 100 naval
vessels, with nearly 100000 tonnage.
Italy. even though in desperate finan-
cial straits, laid down or appropriated
for SO ships. with a tonnage of 181, 900.
On the other hand, the United States
made no substantial addition to its
navy, other than two aircraft carriers

nations had embarked on huge building

President OF the United States was au-

ships In the event Of limitation by

Il simplified and reduced our naval
problem. 1t did not wholly solve
that problem.
The mere building of ships, and more
ships, aircraft and more aircraft, SUBJ

Tense.
That problem involves something
more than the question of parity with
other nations in naval equipment. IT
involves, quite as much, the question OF
international good will and friendship
and the relief from excessive tax bur-
dens of the nations on both sides of the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
The United States must and will have
Navy commensurate with its interests

the mere agreement of Great Britain
and the United States, or even the ad-
0ition of Japan, the third great naval
power, to the agreement, would not solve
the great and pressing problem Of the
worlds naval ornaments.
Why? Because Great Britain's naval
problem is not mere matter of COM
