Up to'You to Decide

Standards of living have changed,
but the necessity for love and the
inspiration that love gives has not
changed. Perhaps, since you both
love each other so dearly, it would
be far wiser to marry and suffer the
loss of few luXuries, a few trips,
a few parties, than to struggle on
separately, while you wait for your
fortune to accumulate.
Those are matters that you must
decide. And since you love this
girl, they are matters that she
should have a hand in deciding.
I'm a promoter for this love in a
cottage business. but, heavens, why
grow old and decrepit waiting for
the first million if you are both
strong, ambitious and sensible?

NAVAL FUNDAMENTALS

The naval proposal presented by
 the United States 10 the preparatory
 disarmament conference in session
 at Geneva reaches to the fundamen-
 tals of naval strength not touched by
 the Washington arms conference and
 would affect certain other powers more overwhelmingly than it would
 particular, are France and Italy.
 These two powers have a liking for auxiliary ships, particularly sub-
 marines. destroyers, air units and
 supplementary vessels which are an
 aid in the transportation of troops across the Mediterranean. and favor large land armaments. The ratio for ca pital ships between the United States, Great Britain and Japan was fixed at 5-5-3 at the Washington arms conference: and for France and Italy the ratio of such ships was 1.1o. The United States has felt fairly satisfied with this agreement re- garding capital ships, and under ft relinuuished it's rights to extend its Notifications in the Philippines and Guam. But with the accord not con- trolling the lesser vessels. France and Italy have made quite race of it
 on the assumption that their securit, depended on how quickly they could transport colonials from Africa ir case they were needed. Perhaps the, are right in this premise: but huge air fleets, destroyer fleets and sub marines also have a bearing upor armament power in general. The United states and Great Britain have taken this into due considera
 ton. While they are restraining themsrlyea in the construction o' capjtal ships, the others are feeling no restraint as regards the othel ships, and it has always been a ques. ton in the minds of naval experts whether these supplementary ship: cannot be a considerable of a hui

protection at all. Travel to Berlin has been vastly improved Of late years and it is possible for the ball. bearing equipment to roll along at 30 miles an hour for the most of the dis,ance-a feat that was impossible when the wash board pike con- nected the city and town.
 If Berlin were a part Of New Brit ain, as certain civic boosters think it might we'll be, there would be fire house in Berlin and a local company to attend to the re-fighting. In all probability there also would be an improved water system, and it would not be necessary to pump water from brooks and claypits so fre- ouentIy- Berlin's present sufferings are due to not belonging to the larger city, although it also gets along with a considerably lesser tax rate. Perhaps that is one of the leading reasons why Berlin IS in no hurry to join up with New Britain. If so. and considering that it's tax rate is low, it probably will not find 1t difficult to meet the eNactlons of New Britain regarding fire service. Or, if it prefers, it can well afford to provide it's own tire-hg ghting com- pany and equipment.

Berlin now is faced with the most serious fire protection situation in il years. which has been the life of the present compensation to New Britain for furnishing the fire fight ing equipment and the smoke-eaters when Berlin furnishes the fires.

sance in case of international trouble. Great Britain, for instance. has looked upon the large air and submarine fleet of France with con- siderable misgivinss. The United States, being further away. is not subject to the same fears, but on gneral principles regard restraint in all things better than restraint in the manufacture of capital ships only. Italy is strongly opposed to either reduction or limitation, assuming that the nations future is dependent upon arms and power to 'set what it wants"
 The main feature of Amba ssador i it reflects the international accord | desired through the medium of the Kellogg pact. If the pact is to mean anything tangible in the history Of the world it cannot be accompanied with old style armament races. Though the speech was that of Mir. Gibson. the sentiments undoubtedly
 were those of President Hoover. The 1 President proposes to achieve some i thing in the realm of international i armament control. and by empha- i sizing the need for friendship and | good will and repeatedly mentioning
 the Kellogg pact, the effect in i Europe has been to elevate Amerl- can ideals. and to cause Europe to realize that American suggestions
 are based upon a willingness to show
 the way if the others are willing to
 join in the plan to rationalize inter-
 national ornaments.
 The American plan whereby a ! total of tonnage would be assigned to each nation and this total di-
 vided into "categores Of ships the
 totals to equal the tonnage assigned,
 was taken up by Paul Boncour in
 1927, and always has been the
 American plan. It is predicated
 upon the logical assumption that in
 q world where capital ships and air 1 plane carriers are limited. supple
 mentary naval ships likewise need to | be limited upon d tonnage basis. Though all naval details are highly
 technical, totals of tonnage are easily
 understa ble; and likewise is the plan to predicate naval armamen1s upon the need for security rather
 than aggression.
