The Naval Conference.

1t is under clouded international skies
that the London Naval Conference today
embarkS upon its task. That task is to
bring about a renewal of existing treaties
of limitation or negotiation OF others to
take their place when they expire in
1886. Conditions could hardly be more
unfayorable than those which surround
this newest effort to reach agreements
which, while safeguarding the defensive
necessities of all concerned, would repre-
sent progress in lifting excessive burdens
from the backs of taxpayers throughout
the world.
In the Far East Japan is in the midst
of fresh activities designed to impose
her domination over extensive areas OF
North China, a species of aggression
which has evoked protests from both
London and Washington. In Europe the
Italian-League controversy has reached
its most critical point, with general
war looming as a. menacing possibility
If the Geneva powers resort to an en-
barge on Mussolinis oil as last recourse
to compel peace in East Africa.
Acute as are the world conditions that
darken the outlook for new naval
accord, it is the uncompromising attitude
of Japan that mainly dampenS hopes OF
success. Toxic insists on obliteration OF
the 5-5-3 ratio and supplanting it with
one that will give the Japanese COM
plete equality with the respective fleets
of Great Britain and the United States.
The two English-speaking countries
favor maintenance of the 5-5-3 balance,
believing it adequately provides for the
legitimate requirements of all three
nations. American insistence upon
preservation of the present ratio is be-
lieved to be somewhat firmer than that
of the British, and our delegation at
London, as conference strategy de-
velops, may find itself bearing the brunt
of the struggle to keep Anglo-American-
japanese strength at current levels. A
japanese fleet augmented to the degree
Toxic seeks would make the island en-
pire invincible in Far Eastern waters
and virtually seal its mastery of Asia.
European naval problems, no less vital
than those provoked by Japans I'M
perialistic ambitions, also overcast the
London conference. Italy'S mabated
demand for parity with France continues
to be resisted by the French. Germany'S
re-entry into the ranks of naval powers
presents France with additional anxiety
and necessities. Mussolini's struggle
with Great Britain over the balance
of power in the Mediterranean is yet
another vexatiouS factor. Britain is
building more cruisers. 1t will be a
miracle if out of so seething cauldron OF
rivalries, suspicious and genuine naval
needs an even approximately satiSfac-
tory agreement emerges.
AS President Roosevelt declared on
Armistice day, the American people can
not hide their heads in the sand. They
must take realistic cognizance of what
is going on in the world. This country
consistently favors progressive, proper
tionate limitation and reduction of
ornaments, but a United States Navy
second to none is the irreducible mini
mum. To it Washington's spokesmen
at London may be expected resolutely
to adhere.

A correspondent wants advice as to
raising sheep.
Another asks for a list Of books for
a young girl who must take long rest
cure.
"She thinks that, having read much,
am the person to help her. But I do
not feel capable. The task is too big for
me-"
The Department Of Agriculture issues
farmers bulletins dealing with the rails
ing of wool-bearing animals.
But who is so bold as to tell another
human being what to read? Who but
Woollcott?
There are, of course, numerous check
lists of good books, the "best books" the
"hest Sellers" the books Of the last
year, and so on.
Who is there, however, who actually
believes that he is helping another reader
by giving him such list?
The writer here, many years ago in
this column, gave a list of books which
had appealed to him, that was all.
1t is as much as any one can do.
We are afraid if we referred to that
list it would seem hopeleSsly old-fash-
ioned and out of date.
Reading habits change, along with the
fashions of clothes and hats.
Alexander Woollcott, self-appointed
guide to literature, recently got himself
gently "panned" by reviewers of his
Reader" for daring to include the fa-
nous Dolly Dialogues" in his compila-
ton.
He liked Hopes sentimental treatment
of an ageless, theme, just as he liked "Mr.
Chips" and for much the same reason.
1t is not necessary to agree with all
his selections to applaud his determina-
ton to like what he likes.
If readers of all sorts, and of whatever
age, would rely on their own likes and
dislikeS more, we would have better
readers everywhere and less bowling down
to critics, who, after all, are just as
likely to be wrong as the rest of us.
1t is easy for any one Of ordinary
intelligence to draw up list of good
books, but whether the list actually fits
the reading mind of another human
being is another question.
Recall the lists Of required reading"
in the schools.
Probably more book haters have re-
suited from those lists than from any
other two causes.
We do not mean book haters in the
sense of woman haters," but simply of
individual books.
Many book which would have found
its way naturally into readers life has
been spoiled for him beyond repair by
its inclusion in some list of required
reading"
The writer here, while great admirer
of Charles Dickens, has never been able
to read "A Tale of Two Cities"
1t was wrecked for him, many years
ago, by forced reading.
1t is needless to say that this forcing
was not physical.
No one held us down and compelled
us to read the book.
The compulsion was entirely of an
other sort. but it did its work Just as
thoroughly.

This Little World.

This Little World.
There is trouble" But we say
Its a thousand miles away"
Swiftly comes the sound of grief
That's demanding new relief.
With the speed of light aglow
Comes the call of human woe.
With their mighty wings unfurled
Airplanes hasten round the world.
It's a world which, after all,
Grows so neighborly and small!
What's a thousand miles or more?
When Grief knocks at every door.

The almanac will show.
And if the hours are insecure
In darkness few complain.

Come right side up again.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
A Friend of Mine.

There is a high post he will claim.
He rates its grandeur with smile,
Summing up all the weight and power
That will be his for life's brief mile
And yet he puts thru crucial days
Dynamic in their forward sweep;
Foes to be struck with all his force
And every valiant friend to keep.
The fight Is hard and hot and strong.
Amid the tumult, and alone,
In leadership warm-b -blooded, calm,
He'll take the post that Is his own.

G. Bernard Shaw is one of MuSSolini's
favorite authors, which fact places him
along with Dante and Tasso and several
other distinguished poets. Shaw has
usually devoted himself, like Molieres
Bourgeois Gentilhomme, to plain prose
and avoided danger Of philandering with
the poetic muse.

Guffey had a good word to say for.
Senator Joseph T. Robinson Of Arkansas,
the Democratic leader of the Senate.
"It is inconceivable," he said, that Sen
ator Robinson's seat can be seriously
contested, for it is believed that the
good people of Arkansas will feel, as the
administration does, that he has rem
dered invaluable service to his State and
the Nation" Guffey did not omit Sen
ator Carter Glass of Virginia, although
the Virginia Senator has at times been a
vigorous critic of the administration
policies. Senator Glass" said Guftey,
"exemplifies the finest traditions OF the
representatives of the Old Dominion, and
has the well wishes of his friends for
a long continuation of his distinguished
services The Democratic high COM
mand looks to both Senator Glass and
Senator Harry Flood Byrd, also of Vir-
ginia, to line up behind the President
in his fight for reelection next year
and apparently with justification.

Now that the congress or American
industry as represented by last weeks
militant meeting of the National AsSo-
citation of Manufacturers, has declared
open warfare in 1886 against the New
Deal, it becomes certain that titantic
battle reminiscent of the Mckinley
Bryan campaign is in sight. AS things
are shaping up, it looks broadly like
struggle between the industrial North
and East against the agricultural South
and West. The prospective antl-RooSe-
velt alliance between big business and
the G. O. P. assures the elephant a war
chest that may be as opulent as the one
modified by Mark Hanna to beat free
silver 40 years ago. There are already
ample indications that the impending
political unpleasantnesS is going to de-
velop into one of the most fiercely-fought
contests of our day and generation. Re-
publicanS contend that the scramble for
their presidential nomination is prima
facie evidence of party faith that the
President can and will be defeated. They
are not impressed by Jim Farley'S boast
that the election is already in the bag
for F. D. r. and point to the elaborate
arrangements the New Deal field mar
shall is already perfecting as proof that
he knows the Democrats have fight on
their hands.
