Peace and Preparedness.

On this nineteenth anniversary of the
United States entry into the World War,
celebrated. in accordance with custom,
as Army day, the Nations thoughts are
naturally attuned to the subject of
national defense. The event had no con-
nection with the historic occasion today
commemorated, but the launching at
Newport News on Saturday of the air.
craft carrier Yorktown provided Mrs.
Roosevelt, who performed the christen-
ing ceremony, with an appropriate oppor-
tunity for discussing the relationship
between peace and preparedness. It
would be difficult to put in more pithy
terms than she did the case for ade-
quate American armed strength.
After the new ship had been well and
truly consigned to the cradle of the
James River, Mrs. Roosevelt dealt in
formally with the question Of whether
she considers the sponsorship of naval
vessel in any respect incompatible with
her public addresses against war. "one
country by itself cannot limit arma-
ments." she said. ''I hope some day the

e. Cherry Blossoms.

Unkind weather may spoil the cherry
blossoms for which Washington deserv-
edly is famous, but nothing-not even a
gale-can hurt the values which they
symbolic. The flowers, as everybody
knows, came to America as q sign of
the friendship of Japan; they were a
pledge Of international amity, and as
such they should be viewed.
Yet 1t may be wondered If the people
of the United States are Temperament
tally competent to appreciate the mean
ing of the cherry blossoms to the Japa-
nese. The West, possibly, is too rich
to comprehend the poverty of the East.
But only when the difference is realized
can there be adequate understanding
OF the factors involved in the beautiful
gift. The fact is that it was part of
herself, part of her national soul, that
Japan sent over the Pacific to adorn
the Potomac Basin.
Look at the map: The islands of Nippon

nations will agree to arms limitations,
but until then we must build our Navy
to treaty strength, in order not to be
defenseless."
That expresses the United States posi-
ton precisely. 1t epitomizes the atti-
tude successive administrations have
taken ever since the desirability Of limit
ing ornaments by international agree
ment has been considered. This country
has consistently proclaimed its readiness
to 60 as far as any nation in lifting from
the heavily loaded backs Of taxpayers the
burden of excessive ornaments, but the
United States has as persistently main
tanned, as Mrs. Roosevelt SO succinctly
points out, that it can only limit arma-
ments to the degree that other powers
are willing to do so. World conditions
being what they are today-and seldom
have they reeked with greater possibility
of war-the duty of the United States Is
to remain on that respectable defensive
posture Recommended by the first PreSi-
dent in the Farewell Address, until such
time as the nations evolve practicable
methods of curtailing the armed estab-
lishments now required by the elemen-
