zation which viii attempt to prevent
war from breaking out by system OF
compulsory arbitration and conci1ia-
ton.
Frances Attitude.
At the forthcoming London confer
ence France will probably agree to q
reduction in its building program, pro-
vided that the United States in turn
agrees to participate In the task OF
organizing world peace.
It is improbable that the other pow
er will attempt to induce the United
States to agree to participate in an
economic boycott against an aggressor
state, such as the Capper resolution
envisages. But 1t is not impossible that
these other powers will ask the United
States to sign treaty providing that in
case two states threaten to violate the
anti-war pact the other parties will
consult together In an attempt to ef-
feet friendly settlement.
In participating with other govern
ments in mediating the dispute between
Bolivia and Paraguay last January, and
in taking the initiative last month in
warning China and Russia not to vio-
late the anti-war pact, the United
States seemed to have accepted the
principle of joint mediation.
What the attitude of the American
delegation will be toward the French
suggestion for the embodiment of this
principle In a treaty is not known.
There are, however. a number of
Senators in Washington who feel that
the United States should follow an iso-
lationist policy, and that it should not
accept any commitments, even implied,
to cooperate with other powers in pre-
venting the outbreak of war. 1t is pos
sible that the attitude of such Senators
may influence the stand taken by the
American delegation at London.

battleships, which equal in strength the
battleships in the British Navy.
It Is declared also that the United
States, which has few naval bases. can
not afford to give up the battleship,
which has wide cruising radius. To do
so, 1t is argued, would simply increase
the advantages already enjoyed by the
British Empire by virtue OF its large
number of naval bases.
The final question to be decided at
London, and which underlies all OF the
questions already discussed, Is whether
the question of naval limitation is to be
linked up with the question OF "se-
curity." It is possible that a duel upon
this question will be fought between
France and the United States.
The American Government hitherto
has taken the view that the naval ques-
ton can be solved apart from political
questions.
The French government on the other
hand, has always taken the position
that arms exist for the purpose OF de-
Tense against attack, and that no gov
eminent can afford to disarm until 1t
has received some substitute in the form
Of international guarantees.
League Is Embryo.
In its memorandum of December %,
1929, the French government declared
that the famous anti-war pact did not
offer such a guaranty. The embryo
Of a guaranty did. however, exist in
the Covenant of the League of Ma
tions, which provided "the basis of
complete system of security based upon
the application of methods of peaceful
settlement and assistance to any state
unlawfully attacked"
It is only when it is convinced that
the League can succeed in providing
world security that France is willing
to disarm and France does not believe
that the League can succeed in this
aim without some form of cooperation
from the United States.
The United States has attempted to
gain security through the principle of
parity" But France argues that this
is false basis of security. Even If
the British and American fleets were
automatically equal, they would
never have the same combat strength
unless they met each other face to
face in midocean. But this kind of
battle is never fought.
In time of war the British fleet would
be divided among the seven seas. The
same principle would hold true, If to
a lesser extent, of the American feet.
Moreover, the principle of party over
looks the questions of allies. The
OAheCu 0ouOCS may AiSlob upUII d llSCb
as strong as that of Great Britain,
but what If Great Britain and Japan
should combine against the United
States? Great Britain may insist
upon having a feet larger than that
of France, but what If France and italy
and Spain should combine against
Great Britain?
It is the French view, therefore, that
parity" and the whole system of ratios
is delusion and that the only real
security lies in international orgarIb

The Farley Background
Peace Pact Regarded as Starting Point
for Conference by Britain.
# peace in the practical affairs of an

| Of peace in the practical affairs Of ar
armed world.
There can be no question about the
high hopes of the two leaders chiefly
responsible for the London conference
Again and again President Hoover and
Prime Minister Macdonald have pre-
dicted that the powers would come tc
the conference table in an entirely new
international atmosphere: that the ole
doubts and jealouSies that have beset
world diplomacy would have to give way
to the frank and open ways of peace.
Unquestionably, too, those who hope
for most from the conference base their
expectations upon precisely that ground
They offer the treaty as practical In
strument of diplomacy for the solution
Of international problems which they
concede would, otherwise, be almost
hopeless.
Do Not Guarantee Peace.
Yet it is to be remembered that no
one of the five powers is proposing abso-
Lutte disarmament. To this degree even
the most ardent supporters of the peace
pact verge toward agreement with the
viewpoint of France. They do not look
upon the treaty, in itself, as an absolute
guarantee of universal peace. Treaties
often have been broken. The question,
as 1t is discussed by statesmen just on
the eve of the conference, becomes one
of degree It states itself thus:
Shall the conference place much or
little faith In the restraining effect the
pact would have upon the peoples of
the world when, in the future, their
emotions are famed by threats of war?
interviewer as they are with the
treaty, will the success or failure of the
London negotiations determine what
place the treaty itself is to have
throughout the whole future of world
diplomacy?
These are questions which only the
unfolding drama of the conference it
self can answer

posed to reduce the size of battleships
from $4,000 tons to something under
$4,000 tons. Likewise, they proposed
to extend the life of such vessels from
20 to 20 years.
In October, 1928. the italian govern
ment proposed that all requirements of
battleships under the Washington
treaty be postponed from 1881 until
1886. Neither the French nor the Ital-
ian government has taken advantage
of the provision in the Washington
treaty whereby each could build new
battleships in 1927 and 1929.
The japanese government is known
to be willing to go as far as any other
power in reducing battleship construc-
ton.
On January z, 1880, only few days
before sailing for London, Secretary
Stimson expressed sympathy with this
general desire.
Thus all five governments have ex-
pressed willingness to reduce the ex-
pen6itures In connection with new
battleship construction, which, unless
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-01-20

the Washington treaty is amended at
London, will begin in 1881.
If Great Britain and the United
States agree to reduce their present
battleship supremacy, 1t will be difficult
for France to insist upon the right to
construct an unduly large cruiser and
submarine tonnage. 1t is even possible
that If the two Anglo-Saxon powers
agreed to the eventual abolition Of the
battleship, France might consent to ac-
cept the demand for the abolition OF
the submarine.
Arguments Advanced.
From the American standpoint, a
number of arguments have, however,
been made against the abolition of the
battleship. It is declared that the
United States Is now inferior to the
British in cruisers, and that this in
feriority will continue until the IS
cruisers authorized In the act Of 1929
are completed.
Meanwhile the American Government
should not, 1t is argued, surrender its

DIsCI SSING nAORCI.

While religious groups here and there have been busy discussing the divorce evil and what to do in order to stabilize domestic happiness and prevent aggrieved couples from separating. dispatches from Ottawa indicate that the Province of On tario IS liberalizing it's divorce laws by way of making it possible for those who are not we'll to do 10 ob- tain dtEorces without going to the expense of obtaining g, special act by the provincial parliament.
 Ontario is only one province, al- though q rather large one, and this evidence of a growing disposition to make 1t easier 10 obtain divorces there IS significant. Probably resi- dents Of Ontario reason that the province itself might as well go through with its divorce plans con- sidarlng that many of its unhapnily married in the past have been wiIl- ing to set up a legal residence in NarloGs American states long enough to obtain divorce. That done. the provincial authorities have been forced to "recognize" the divorce thus gained.
 In Denver, Colorado. report vas printed the other day showing that since the first Of the year there have been more divorces in the city than marriages. One religious group, in convention in Denver, declared it was time for Colorado to tighten up on its easy divorce law; yet Colorado has not as easy a law as, for in- stance, Nevada
 Another religious group meeting in Charleston. $. C., also took Up considerable time in discussing di- Torce. and it appears there were as many 'Aberal' clergymen as others with opinions on the topic. One such liberal speaker made the point that there IS little need for religions groups 10 attempt 10 legjslats their ideals on marriage into laws as f IS for them to attempt legislation of other ideals of the Lord into law.
