Britain's Idea

Recently Great Britain, having
preponderance OF l2-inch gun battle
ships, suggested that In revision of the
naval limitation treaty this be made
the maximum caliber for the future
Instead of the l8-inch limit agreed
upon at the Washington conference.
On the American side 1t was felt
that this would reduce the size of
battleshlps below the requirements OF
sound naval policy. The United States
hal always insisted upon the $4,000
ton limit for capital ships. The view
Is that ship proportional to 12-inch
guns Is too small to Iive," as they
say In the navy.
However. In the interest OF reaching
a preliminary agreement, the United
States Is now suggesting that 1t would
be willing to meet Great Britain half
way and accept 14-lnch guns. which
would mean perhaps battleshlps Of
possibly $4,000 tons instead OF the
35.0O0-ton. l6-inch gun fighters now
permitted. The California and the
Tennessee. which have 14-inch guns,
are rated at about $4,000 TONS

May Not Sell Land

Another interesting feature OF the
plan is that no one may sell any land.
In a way the farmers are chained to
tt--they and their children forever and
ever. Nor shall any farm OF 1875 hec-
tars or less be divided between the
children. The farm goes BY law to the
youngest son. RI there Is no son what
ever. then the farm may not go to the
son-in-law, for the daughters are
specifically barred from the Inheritance
OF land. 1t passes to the nearest male
relative who happens not to be farm
owner already. II seventh cousin Ii

pens to already own farm. then 1t
passes to some even more remote male
relative.

La deciding that the farm shall pass
tn the youngest son. Instead OF the old
est. as has always been the case In
British estates, for instance. was that
the older sons had the most advan-
tages, usually. In being sent to college
for professional training, or In being
aided by their families In getting start
ed 10 some other field of endeavor. So
the land was reserved for the youngest
son.
Farms smaller than hectars do not
come within the restrictions OF the law.

Exchange Naval Views

Leading naval powers have been for
some time conducting informal eI-
changes OF views preparatory to the
general naval conference expected to
be held next year In view OF the APP
preaching expiration OF the London
naval treaty supplementary to the
Washington treaty. The London treaty
expires December 81, 1885. and 1t Is
planned that the whole subject OF ma
val limitation will be reconsidered with
the hope of working out new agree
ment which will replace the naval
limitation program adopted In WASH
ington In 1921 and supplemented by
the cruiser agreement at London In
1890.
The diverging views OF Great Brit
ain and the United States over gun
calIbers involve the historic conflict
between them over capital ships.
Great Britain. with numerous bases
scattered about the world. has less
need Of long cruising radius and there
fore her policy has favored smaller
fighting ships.
The United States. on the contrary.
having few bases. has always taken
into consideration the possibility OF
having to cruise It's feet over long dis
tances and has therefore favored larg
er craft. both In battleships and In
cruisers This conflict became so acute
at the Geneva conference In 1927 that
1t broke up with Great Britain hold
Ing out for light cruisers and the
United States insisting on heavier
auxiliary craft. This difference was
somewhat reconciled later at the 1890
naval conference with the United
States accepting more light craft than
many American naval officers had
favored.

An Average Case

the average conservative voters men,
tai processes.
An Average Case
For instance, take John Smith. with
an Income of $1,000 a year from In
vestments, living In San Bernardino,
or any one of the many small towns
surrounding Los Angeles. At heart he
Is intensely conservative. He Is strong
for property rights. He Is bitterly
against any governmental action which
might result In decreasing his income,
taxing more heavily the corporations
paying 1t. and so forth. So. IT might
be reasoned at first blush. that he
would be desperately opposed to Up
ton Sinclair or anyone like him.
But-John Smith is also heavy
taxpayer In California. He is not only
paying high taxes at present to help
support million and quarter of I'M
employed In California. but he sees
the state debt being increased for that
same purpose. which means that be
and his children will have to go on
paying for this support of the idle for
years to come.
What will be his reaction to Sim
clair's proposition: LET me put these
people to work, producing necessities
which they can use and trade with
each other. They will not compete
with any existing business. On the
contrary they will be self-supporting
and thus save the state from bank
ruptcy. They are no good to business
now. for they have no money to buy
anything except that which you give
them"
1t Is question. Until Sinclair ar
rived In Washington. most people
were figuring the conservative vote
would all be against Sinclair. Now
they are not so sure.
Old-timers here remember a situa-
ton In Maryland. Just before prohi-
