= "At this hour. when the purposes OF
civilization are challenged, when unrest
is rampant, when new problems and
new Valuations call for new leadership
it is well for America to view again the
honor, the purity and the unselfish de-
votion of him who became the keystone
in the making of the Nation and who
rightly won the imperishable title OF

To surround new means of national

Hardly had Secretary Stimson an
nounced his decision to leave Europe
than a spokesman of the British dele
CATION intimated that Great Britain
will be forced to apply the "escalatol
clause" provided in the London navaI
pact Of 1880. whereby Great Britain
Is allowed to increase her tonnage OF
warships in case Italy's and Frances
combined naval constructions exceed
the British tonnage.
Since 1t has became obvious at
Geneva that politically France and
Italy are as far apart as ever, the
British admiralty believes that both
nations are going on with their naval
race.
Although Signor Mussolinis budget
for this year does not provide for any
appropriation for the navy, it is known
in naval circles that besides his coed
intentions there Is also another reason
for his action. Since last May the
Italian government has ordered from
the various navy yards no less than 81
warshipS, destroyers, cruisers and sub
marines. Even If funds were appro-
Pl AdLCo 1OL naval COAloIl
there would be no room in the Italian
navy yards to start the building of new
ships.
The same thing applies to France
The French Chamber has just appro-
priated the necessary funds for new
q, ,000-ton battleship, and Frances pro-
gram for the construction Of new
cruisers, submarines and destroyers is
probably the most comprehensive of any
nation in the world. France has no less
than 101 warships of all types, either
building or appropriated for. Both
France and Italy are spending in this
year of limitation of arms conversations
over 100000, 900 for new constructions
and requirements.
Great Britain was going slowly with
her naval constructions because of the
precarious situation of the treasury
The British have achieved a remarkable
recovery and the admiralty feels now
that the country is in a position to
spend the necessary moneys to offset
the dangers of Britain being inferior In
strength to Italy and France.

many is fully and equally armed with
the other powers. On that day, it may
be said parenthetically, the treaty OF
Versailles will be ended.
Meanwhile, it is admitted the attempt
to coerce the French-chiefy the
Anglo-Saxon attempt-into yielding
principles will possibly result in harden
ing the French to make little or no
concession to Germany in the matter
of reparations payments at the Lau-
same conference in the middle Of
June. But since the Germans do not
intend to pay more anyway, the only
thing the French can 90 is to prevent
the beginning OF the recovery of world
confidence by the settlement for all
time of the reparations strife.
This refusal, the Germans think, will
again prove to the world how the
French spoil everything and how they
refuse all international cooperation
except on the basis of permanent
French supremacy.
Thereby, in the long run, it will help
the Germans in galvanizing world
bloc against the French, wherein they
place hopes of a fairly speedy treaty
revision.
NdLlOudASI newspapers III OcEmaIly,
meanwhile, are openly laughing at
Tardieu's diplomatic illness and are
taking the opportunity to attack Chan
cellor Heinrich Bruening for his belief
that it. was possible to do something
with the French behind closed doors
and his failure to come out at the full
assembly before the world to announce
that Germany demands armament
equality with other countries and that
if this is long refused, it intends to arm
in defiance of the treaties.
