which Disciples attending the three
conventions of the brotherhood united
also at Constitution Hall and the
Washington Auditorium for the closing
services of the day.
Short of Ideal of Christ.
Mr. Long in his dedicatory address at
the church said:
I'VE have done a very poor thing If
we have only added another beautiful
structure to the architectural beauties
OF washington, Out we nave zone
worthy thing If by this enterprise we
have indicated to the world our pur-
pose to assume some share toward infiu-
encing the Nations life for God and
giving moral and spiritual direction to
those who pass this way.
Probably no nation on earth can
rightly be called Christian nation.
Not one measures up to the ideal Of
Christ.
But from the time of the Pilgrims
America has been influenced nightly
by Christian ideals. A government is
Christian according to the people and
those who hold official positions.
What could be more encouraging to
religious effort than the fact that we
have in the White House a President
whose spirit is that of the humble dis
ciple and whose ideals and purposes for

1922-The Washington conference
was held at which the United States
Great Britain, Japan, France and Italy
limited the tonnage of their capita
ships and the caliber of their guns anc
set up the famous 5-5-3 ratio fol

1924 draft treaty of mutual assist.
ance and a definition of aggression
were submitted to the third assembly
OF the League and their adoption was
recommended by the Assembly.
Draft Treaty Rejected.
1e24-The draft treaty met opposi-

provisions and was rejected. An agree
ment was eventually reached in the
fifth Assembly and the Geneva pro-
tocol" was adopted renouncing war and
recognizing the principle of compulsory
jurisdiction of the World Court in GER
tain defined cases.
1925-The protocol was rejected by
the big powers, but was soon followed
by the famous Locarno treaties, drawn
to create a feeling of security among
European nations. Rejection Of the
protocol also was followed by the crea-
ton of the preparatory disarmament
commission of the League to prepare
for general disarmament conference.
1927-The preparatory commission,
while failing to establish a text to serve
as basis for further discussion at a
conference. reached Lnanimity on GER
tain points.
During this year the Tri-Partite Naval
Conference took place at Geneva on the
invitation of President Coolidge. The
United States, Great Britain and Japan
were represented by delegates, while
France and Italy declined the invita-
lion, but were represented by observers.

agreement on cruisers, destroyers and
submarines and adjourned" to give the
powers opportunity for further study.

France is the country whereat these

This is an unmistakable concession
to the French viewpoint that arma-

Tardieu's readiness to tackle naval
ornaments at London as opening the
way to success of the whole effort for
disarmament" is substantial departure
from the position the French were
thought to hold. namely. that nothing
the London conference might do could
have anything but advisory interest for
