GO NEW YORK BOSTON A Disappointing Conference It is difficult to have an opinion about the London CHICA Navel limitation conference. It is a dense subject like | the Einstein theory of relativity. There seems to be something very much like backing and filling about the proceedings. Sticking out of it from all points are in- dications that somebody mistrusts somebody else or is jockeying to take adavntage of somebody else's gullibil- ity. For an American it all is very disappointing. It is ® super-optimistic peace enthusiast who can derive any satisfaction from it thus far, for it hasn't talked any 1g that sounds like peace since the introductory words were spoken with such a ring of apparent sincerity. Bince then all that has been discussed is how many shtps the participating nations may build under a limitations agreement, and in each instance it seems the limit is Beyond doubt the delegates are doing their best Pre- miler MacDonald and Secretary Stimson, the two leading spirits in the conference, are quite obviously sincere. A genuine desire for peace is evident in all quarters, But somehow the whole business is very unexciting. It lacks the spectacular thrill of the Washington conference of 1921. There has been no grand gesture, no startling, Hughes last sat in the supreme court--a world that seems ‘ar removed, ncv, as the era of the Civil war.; "But it was only 14 years ago. \ If Mr. Hughes’ return to the bench sets his memory working, he will have plenty to think about. \ Aviation Sets a New Record . Despite accidents, commercial aviation continues to gain, sf A report from the Aeronautical Chambes of Commerce of America,-Inc., shows that niiles flown by the 27 mae jor air transport companies in the United States reach- ed 2 total of over 20/000,000 in 1929—double the 1928 to- j tal. .Furthermore, the number of passengers carried on | these lines tripled, the figure for 1929 being 165,263 as compared with 52,934 in 1928, . In air mail, likewise, there was an amazing gain, more than 7,000,000 pounds being carried last year—twice the amount carried in 1928. All in all, American aircraft flew nearly 200,000,000 miles during the year, and three- fourths of this mileage was run up by commercial planes, Commercial aviation is definitely establishing itself. These figures indicate that the industry is quickly pass- ing the fledging stage. i ’ The Sidewalk Loudspeakers New York City is on the verge of adopting an ordi- nance whith would prevent the use of radio loudspeakers onthe’ streets outside of shops, except on-such special occasions as world serles, political conventions and the like. At such times, however, the owner would have to .get a permit from the police department before turning hhis loudspeaker on. There is an ordinance that a good many other cities might well copy. The sidewalk loudspeaker is usually nothing on earth but @ public nuisance, It is raucuous On February 15, 1898, the U. 8.

In 1921 the thing was handled better. The conference then was hardly begun when Secre- tary Hughes got to his feet and took the world’s breath away by announcing that the United States would toss half a dozen great battleships onto the scrapheap if oth-| @r nations would do the same. His announcement instantly put opponents of naval reduction on the defensive.

Indeed, the latest report is that the ‘American proposal includes the construction by this country of a brand-new super-dreadnaught! ‘The average newspaper reader, by this time, has doubt- fess passed hisswerdict on the proceedings at London by simply ignoring the lengthy news articles about them. ‘These daily stories are too hard to wade through. They fare, to but it bluntly, dull and boresome. A diplomatic chess game is in progress; and it might be remembered that is a game at which European diplomats are ordi- marily far more skillful than Americans. ‘Whatever the upshot of the London conference may. be, the stage-managing, to date, has been poor, There has been nothing to fire people's imaginations, as the’ ‘American proposal of 1921 fired them, And that is pre- elsely the thing that is necessary if any enthusiams for aval reduction is to be generated.

North Dakota's senator is very kindly giving time and attention to affairs that he might easily have passed up as being of no concern to his own state or his duties.
