opening to inject European politics
in the somnolent conversations by
insisting that Germany should be
inpited to London to sign the agree
ment. The French baked. They
did not Want to acknowledge off,
ctally the Reich's rearmament.
Air pacts and guarantee agreements
were brought to the fore BY the
French delegation.
The Italians, not to be outdone by
Paris, brought up the matter of sane
tions. And Norman Davis. seeing
that this conference Is likely to go
the way of the other peace agree
ments in which he has participated
since 1882, is mopping his brow and
asking: What in the narpe of the
Almighty has the tonnage of the bat
tleships to do with air agreements,
security pacts and sanctions?"
The British have issued trial bal
loon by suggesting unoficially that
Germany, Great Britain and the
United States sign a tri-partite agree
ment in case France and Italy insist
on bringing extraneous matters into
the naval conversations. To which
Washington is saying: Nothing do
ing. Such tri-partite agreement
would definitely place the United
States in a position of taking an in
terest in the European intrigues. We
are in London to talk navy and not
politics." And there is good chance
that if the present situation contin-
ues the American delegation will pull
its freight without more ado.
1t would not be tragedy. The Lon
don naval agreement as conceived by
its makers is nothing but new naval
race. And whether the naval race is
sanctioned by treaty or is taking
place without the solemn authorize

golden pen is matter of indifference
to the taxpayer.
