Balfour-Root formula. This conceivably might upset the conference. Gravity of it lies in the effect it will have on the whole Project of limitation. To “humanize” sub warfare instead of abolishing or limiting subs is to render the whole @cheme of naval reduction rather shaky, if not impos- sible. France has a gigantic program calling for tual flotilla of 115 submarines, 67 of which Naval Conference Subterfuges Failure in the London naval limitation conference to; Persuade France and Italy to agree to abolition of the submarine as a device of sea warfare is in part offset | by the proposal to humanize their use—unless there is It is a poor substitute for the Ameri- an proposal of abolition.

There really is no such thing Secretary Stimson, however, was pleased with thé pos- sibility of getting that concession, Subs, it is stated, are to be subjected in their attacks on merchant ships to the not to sink merchant ships without warning and they are always to make sure that passengers and crew are safely embarked in lifeboats, with help near at hand, be- sea adventuring without everybody was off, but he took them aboard the Secadler and gave them champagne dinners afterward.

A current lawsuit in New York illustrates the matter perfectly. A sculptor was engaged to create a statue which the descendants of New Amsterdam's earliest Dutch colon- ists wanted to put up in a New York park. He retired to his studio and came ov’, after a time, with @ model 0: a group figure; a group showing a man, a woman and » | child, apparently surveying the wild new country in which j they had just landed. His patrons promptly rejected this group. And why? Because the sculptor had made peasants of these im- migrants of long ago. They wore the clothes of peas- ants, and on their faces was a sort of dumb wonder, an awed surprise mixed with a dogged determination—the expression, in short, that arr uneducated peasant of the 17th century might be expected to have after crossing the Atlantic ocean and landing in the untamed new world. ‘This displeased the descendants. They explained. quite haughtily, that the original Dutch cOlonists were not Peasants xt all, but well-born folk of means and culture. | So the sculptor made another model, putting fancy |elothes and aristocratic expressions on his figures; but | his patrons would have none of him. So, now, he is | Suing to collect his fee. | The whole business is hardly worth thinking twice about, except that it illustrates so aptly that peculiar pride in ancestry which erops out every so often for the ification of humbler folk. Probably it is very nice to be able to trace one’s lineage back to the scented elegants of a former generation. Yet the real aristocrats in the settlement of America were not the titled and wealthy Europeans who came over to build great manor houses and cultivate broad acres with indentured help. The country would have gone forward just about as well if those people had stayed at home. What really developed the country was the great flood tide of ordinary, uneducated folk who came blindly, des- perately hoping that somehow, in this perilous new world, they could find a way to make life a little bit easier, a little bit more pleasant, than in Europe. These were the people who filled the seacoast and moved slowly inland, past the Alleghenies, along the wilderness road to Kentucky, past old Fort Pitt to the Ohio country. They worked their lives out in stumpy clearings miles from civilization, and they died under the knives of lurking Indians; and they filled the continent, and they clung to their dream, so that it is with us yet. Many millions of these humblé, untaught folk came to the making of America; and, if you please, they are the real aristocrats. They dared the most, they suffered the most, they accomplished the most. The modern pride that prefers to trace ancestry back to the colonial blue- bloods is a strange thing. ‘Inhuman and Expensive’ ‘ Delegates to the London naval conference are attack- ing the submarine as “an inhuman, expensive and un- necessary” terror of the deep; and while that is all quite true, it occurs to us that that is @ peculiar point to raise in regard to submarines alone. All naval warfare, just like all land and all aerial war- fare, is inhuman and expensive; ang the enlightened common sense of mankind is beginning to wonder at last if it isn’t unnecessary as well. It is the dawning real- ization that stands back of the entire conference; and it is hard to see how the cause of peace is advanced much by picking out one particular weapon in naval warfare | and casting it aside while all the rest are retained. It isn’t pleasant to be on a liner that is hit by a tor- pedo; but a six-inch shell from a scout cruiser can spread a good deal of tragedy, too. It is the willingness to go to war that needs curbing rather than the weapons Today Is the | Anniversary of [ ana | themselves. vented.

The United States, which now is the leading sub- marine power, has only 111, Great Britain already is considerably inferior to France, with only 66 submarines built and building, against the French total of 99. France's full program calls for 96,000 tons of submarines, which is nearly 40,000 more than the United States and Great Britain propose for themselves, and in that event the submersible craft cannot be abolished. If France insists on the vast submarine tonnage Great Britain will require heavier tonnage in light cruisers and @estroyers. This automatically will upset the Anglo- ‘American plan to confine the gross tonnage of the British ‘nd American fleets to 1,200,000. It will be impossible for Britain and the United States flo make any limitation agreement between themselves @nd let France, Italy and Japan proceed to adopt their ‘own progress of naval construction—or even for Britain, the United States and Japan to agree on parity, with France and Italy outside. As the conference proceeds, the possibility that Presi- @ent Hoover will have to set in motion again the 15- ruiser program becomes at times like this instance a ¥ather imminent prospect. 500,000 More Automobiles duced last year.
