Forty-seventh street. from Sixth to
Seventh avenue, is lined with theutri-

street In New York might be called
that; even the fashionable ones. This
is city where people come from all
over the world, and often their bag
gage consists of the little dreams, and
the lonesome dreams, and the dreams
that they thought were truth; the
DINNER dreams of the older years, and
the golden dreams Of youth. New
York's famous skyline is the result
Of the dreams Of boys from the farm,
or ranch, or little town. There is tam
gible proof Of that in such structures
as the Woolworth tower, or the Chrys.t
Ter building, or Madison Square gar
den.

has been accomplished in the pre-cor-
vention negotiations, it can be said with
assurance that the sessions at London
will constitute a conference in the
truest sense of the word, and not a
ratification meeting to present to the
world completed program worked out
beforehand.
Conference Has Many Phases.
Speaking broadly, the public disclos-
ures thus far have indicated near APP
proach to real agreement between the
United States and Great Britain; a
disagreement of some proportions be-
tween these two and France; a separate
ard difficult rivalry between France and
Italy; and a disposition by Japan to
keep aloof from these involvments, but
to ask for slightly greater recognition
than she has had heretofore in the
naval world.
This situation will be seen to embrace
much that is encouraging and much
that might easily be hazardous. TAX
ing into account the past events which
always are a part of such negotiations,
here is partial picture of the way mat
tiers stand as the delegates assemble
in London:

This was the famous SIS agree
ment. France and Italy were given
ratings we'll below Japan. It was agreed
likewise to suspend all battleship build
ing until 1881, but an attempt to lint
cruisers, destroyers and submarines
failed, primarily because of the attitude
of France.
The next try was at Geneva In 1927.

The Farley Background
Naval Delegates Conscious of Real Differences
of National Viewpoint.

States, Great Britain and Japan, were
represented. The only result was 9
serious falling out between the united
States and Great Britain over cruisers
and particularly over the largest type
of American 10,000-ton cruisers.
At London efforts are to be made
once more to limit all types OF war craft
and to extend for another period OF
years the holiday in battleship building
The principal hope of accomplish
ment, to Judge by the public utterances
of statesmen, rests on two considera-
tons: First, that a new international
atmosphere has been created by the
Kellogg peace pact; second, that the
United States and Great Britain have
overcome the differences of Geneva
and have agreed that the American
and British navies, all down the line
shall be equal hereafter in fighting
power.
Terms Of Invitation Broad.
The terms of the British invitation
to the conference are broad. Almost
anything relating to naval reduction
might be brought into the debate
France even has suggested an agree
problem in the Mediterranean-a thing
quite far afield, for instance, from
American naval policy.
Some subjects, such as the freedom
of the seas, have been ruled out in adj
vance, but every one knows that even
II issues like this are not mentioned by
name, every delegate will be conscious
that they still are lowering nearby.
All of which means that hasty de-
cisions at London are scarcely to be
expected. Every delegation will be
weighing its problems in the light OF
the most sweeping considerations OF
national policy.
