brought back with me out of

worthy, worthy of all the pains
you've taken with me, worthy of
the one dominant fact that you
care for me. You had to care, I
suppose. You wouldn't have taken
the trouble if you hadn't And I
do feel that I can make you happy,
Delight. We've been such good
pals, such real comrades. We like
the same things; we laugh at the

tual interests. You see I'm being
sober and sensible, and putting a
curb on myself, not just saying
pretty, loverlike things. You're not

She was blinded by tears. She
put up her hand to brush them

wandering root and fell to the
ground, heavily twisting her ankle

do. She got to her hands and

her and flung her again. She
sat holding it in her hands, Sob

the damage to her stocking with
the practical regret Of the woman

not afford to tear them. How

rush of blood, pumping furiously
through her heart. She took eau

hedge to a place where the close
woven branches were thinner,
pushed them gently aside with her
hands and tried to look through.

Why We Need a Navy of
Treaty STRENGTH

AAVoVy 0VA SASt III
A few years ago great many
Americans would have been serious
ly disturbed by an announcement
that their navy was to be built up
forthwith to treaty strength and
made literally second to none.
Today the news that this is to be
done bothers hardly anyone: and
this change Of attitude measures the
failure of American efforts to get the
other nations of the world to agree
on an effective disarmament pro-
gram.
No peace loving American need be
ashamed Of his country's record in
respect to disarmament.
Shortly after the close OF the
World War the United States fleet,
counting vessels already built, YES
sells laid down and vessels definitely
appropriated for, was by far the most
powerful fleet ever dreamed of.
If the program then in effect had
been completed, no other navy on
earth could have hoped to cope with
American sea strength. The Wash
ington conference saw this country
voluntarily throwing away the finest
fighting ships ever built. OF our
own free will we scrapped our new
est and strongest warships, accepted
parity with England and pledged
ourselves not to seek naval superior
ity.
That was magnificent beginning.
But it was not followed up; and the
fault for that failure does not rest
on the American government. Re-
peatedly during the next decade
Washington sought to extend the
arms reduction treaty and scale down
world navies, and repeatedly other
powers refused to 60 along. Some
times it was England that stood in
the way, sometimes France, some
times Japan.
AS q result, it has been made very
apparent that world sentiment has
not yet reached the point at which
any genuine, far-reaching naval dis
armament program is possible. We
have tried, we have made sacrifices,
but 1t is no go. We have what is left
Of the Washington treaty, but there
is no likelihood that anything better
can be obtained for years to come.
That being the case, what is there
left to do but build up to treaty
strength? The time has not yet
come in which we can discard our
defenses. II we continue to MAIN
tain any navy at all, it has to be
good one; and since no one else is
willing to 60 with us on a new re-
duction program, we can hardly do
anything else than make our navy
the best navy that the existing treaty
permits.
