AMERICA TO HOLD
TO NAVAL SECURITY
No Danger of Sacrifice to
Public Seen in Attitude at
Arms Conference.
BY EDWARD PRICE BELL.

By Radio TO The Star and the Chicago
Daily News. Copyrigbt. 1890.
LONDON, England, January 28.-Any
apprehension on the part Of Americans
that excessive idealiSm or influences
of whatever nature may lead the Amer
lean delegation at the naval confer
enceS to sacrifice the country's de-
fenSive interests would be baseleSs. Our
delegation very earnestly wants a re-
duction Of naval ornaments. It wants
even more earnestly to end compe-
tition in warship construction. But
before either of these two things it
wants security for every rightful adj
vantage of the public.
President Hoover's faith in the
Briand-Kellogg pact is shared by prob
ably all of his delegates, and more
particularly by the principal ones, with
Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson
at their head. These men believe that
the pact will hold. This belief was
strong when they came to London and
it is stronger still since their init
mate talks with other delegations. Yet
none of our delegates in the present
world would think of intrusting Amer
lean security wholly to the pact-they
would not ask any other nation to
do so.
Hope for Economy.
All that is hoped for now by the
Americans or by their conferees is q
good start toward economy and sub
stantially increased international trust
Economy will ease the strain upon
the nations. That alone will conduce
to an amicable mood. Non-competi-
ton in naval ornaments will break
down barriers Of suspicion, irritation
and fear among the maritime powers,
thus clearing a way in q vast area for
building up permanent relations pro-
motive Of peace.
Protected and aided by these condi-
lions, the Briand-Kellogg pact and
other LOCALITIES directed against war are
expected steadily to gain In practical
said Tsuneo Matsudaira, Japanese Am
bassador in London, to me, "as the
minds Of the people catch up with the
progress already made by craftsmanship
In the slow journey toward peace. Our
need is not only for the right laws, but
for universal faith in their suf1ciency."
In making sure that the defensive in
tereStS of America shall not be sacri-
feed in an effort to save money and
ameliorate world sentiment the Ameri-
can delegation bears constantly in mind
the peculiar relation, or what it deems
to be the peculiar relation, Of the bat
tleship to the martial efficiency Of the
American fleet.
Battleships, not cruisers, as I have
said heretofore, were the primary cause
Of the London Conference. Not one Of the
main naval powers desire to enter upon
burdensome replacement programs at
the end Of the 10-year holiday, as pro-
Vided by the Washington treaty. That

Fuu-Time Graded
Glasses Are Each
Under One Teacher

The Stars attention has been
directed to the fact that the
school survey articles, now being
published, do not include the
number Of teachers in each
grade and in each school build
ing. This information can be
obtained and an effort will be
made to include It in the later
articles.
At this time, however, certain
generalities governing teachers
and their use may be cited.
Every full-time graded class
(flrst to eighth grade, inclusive)
whether In O permanent school
house or in q portable, has one
teacher in charge, regardless of
its enrolment. Large kinder
gartens, those Of approximately
48 or more enrolment, generally
have two teachers.
Two part-time classes use q
single room, each for three and a
half hours. When the teacher on
the first shift dismisses her pupils
she remains for the second class,
to assist that teacher in provid-
ing more intensified instruction
for the children who at best have
their Schoolday abbreviated. The
second-shift teacher similarly is
required to work an hour and a
half with the morning class.

was the urgent thing that would brook
no delay. The cruiser problem was i'm
portant, but relatively Infinitely less
pressing" to quote an authority who
knows more about the aims and inten-
tons of America at this conference
than does any other.
BattIeships Required.
We do not wish at once to begin lay
ing down battleships. It is highly
doubtful that we ever shall wish to
begin laying down 35,oO0-ton battle
ships. But battleships the American
fleet does require, assuming that Ameri-
can naval experts know their business
and battleShips it will have so long as
maritime war Is judged within the scope
OF possibility. American sea distances
are long and its naval bases are few and
far apart. It can be martially effective
on salt water only through heavy war
ships capable not only of great resist
ance, but OF distant cruising and unex-
celled destructive power. The American
argument for the battleship is virtually
the American argument for the battle
cruiser.
Combat relatively is a phrase often
heard in authoritative American dis
cussions on the international sea prob
lem. The idea enshrined in this phrase
Is the uppermost idea In the minds
Of the American delegation. We want
as far as possible, while effecting parity
with Great Britain, to scale down naval
strength as 1t now exists without weak
entng relatively the naval defenses OF
any nation. We want, In other words
roughly to preserve the naval status quo
in respect Of fighting relatively while
achieving an enormous saving Of money
ing worldwide moral impetus for an
ultimate substitution of confidence In
law for confidence In force. It is al
ready obvious that the American idea
can prevail, II at all, only after much
negotiation and some concession, but II
remains the American idea and will be
urged to the limit Of righteousness.

French PROPOSALS
GIVEN FIRST PLACE
Counter Offers by Italy Also
to Be Heard at Next
Session, Thursday.
Continued From First Page.)

| conferees first would be asked to ratify
formally q compromise method of ton
mage allotment under which each ma
ton would be permitted certain total
figure without binding limits on each
category of ships.
After that method is settled upon, 1t
Is expected the conference will turn to
actual limitation proposals, with cruis-
erS at the head of the list, as advocated
by the American delegation.
While the committee extraordinary
today debated agenda, proposals for
settlement of the Franco-Italian parity
disagreement were stirring in other
conference circles.
It was said with some authority be-
fore today's session that Italy probably
would accept a plan to do away en-
tirely with ratios and conf1ne the prof.
ected treaty merely to building declara-
tons for the next five or six years, al
though the Italians steadfastly declined
any promise that this method would
satisfy their demand for naval equality
with France.
Discussion was continued in some
quarters of the French proposal for a
security pact in the Mediterranean.
Some suggestions were that all five
nations might be invited to participate
IN such an agreement in some form or
another.
u. s. and Japan as Advisers.
The United States and Japan, it was
said, having only distant relations in
the Mediterranean area, probably would
be asked to participate only in a con-
sultative capacity, If at all, under
the theory that such q pact would be
an expansion Of principles laid down
in the Kellogg anti-war treaty.
Beyond saying that no definite ap-
proach had been made to them on this
subject, members Of the American dele
cation declined to comment. Manifestly
they regarded the proposal as too I'M
related to present stages OF the con-
ference deliberations and were reserv-
ing any announcement of their position
Personal consultations on many sub
JectS which now have come into the
conference picture continued in many
directions today and in each case the
participants declared that the progress
being made made the outlook hopeful
One OF last nights interviews provided
another opportunity for exchange of
Franco american views, with Amhas-
sador Dawes calling on Premier Andre
Tardieu OF France for a short talk.
The center of all these 1nterchanges
was Prime Minister Macdonald, who
as chairman of the conference has the
task OF keeping abreast of opinions
or all delegations. He rearranged his
schedule today to permit certain private
conversations he was forced to post
pone yesterday because of the extraor-
dinartly long meeting of the big Five"
and the necessity of attending certain
duties In the House Of Commons.

UNIFORMS BANNED
/. AT LONDON BY i. S.
Order stripping" Officers in
Delegation of Gold Braid Is
Laid to White House.
BY FRELERIC WILLIAM VILE.
Stan Correspondent Of the Star,


By Radio to The Star.
LONDON, January 2e-While Great
Britain makes its graceful gesture in
the direction of creating a peaceful at
mosphere at the Naval Conference by
abandoning construction Of a pair of
cruisers, America responds in a some
what less substantial character by de-
creeing that the American naval uni
form shall not introduce q note of in
consistent military color in London at
this time.
To date, not q single splash of
Yankee naval splendor has been. trotted
out, although enough was brought along
to make P1ccadilly gay with gold lace
and braid on the slightest provocation.
The orders, which are said to have
emanated from the White House, de-
cree that none of the American adj
mirals, captains, commanders, lieu
tenants and others attached to the
delegation shall appear in their regi-
mentals.
Quarterback Air Is Banned.
The idea apparently is that this is
peace and disarmament conference.
Therefore nothing externally savoring
OF the quarterback Is to be on display
and the civilian atmosphere is to be
preserved throughout the conference by
those intrusted with or connected with
stating Americas views on naval dis
armament.
The uniform embargo comedies with
the Presidents dispatch to London of
a delegation consisting exclusively of
non-SerVice men. None of the Sailors"
connected with the American group has
ranking above that Of advisers or ex-
perts.
There is no little remorse manifest
among the dashing American sea dogs
at the Ritz Hotel and st. James Palace.
Some of them brought q half dozen
exits" along. Several had special
trunks made to carry their gilded ward
robes. Now, they have been given to
understand that the limit in extra
sartorial adornment is miniatures of
such orders and decorations, American
or foreign, as they may posses. These
were the only trappings on exhibition
at last weeks Guildhall banquet. the
governments dinner at the Savoy Hotel
and Premier Ramsay Macdonald's party
at the Lancaster House.
Capt. HalIa Is Envied.
Tonight, the Americans are to be
the dinner guests of the Pilgrims So
ciety, but civilian garb will be the order
OF the day for all naval officers or
other attaches and members of the
delegation.
The most envied American officer In
London today is Capt. John Halla of
the United States Marine Ccros. one

also Q White House aide. He is allowed
