Sixth, in considering naval i strength, there shall be included mer- jchant marine and all auxiliary ves- sels which can possibly be convert- ‘@ into warships in an emergency as yell as all bases fortified and unforti- led which could be used in naval op- rations. In‘ reducing armament ex- yense, it is essential to consider the alllions of dollars which are spent \nnually to maintain naval bases and ‘epair stations at remote points. This question is most acute in connection with a possible naval conflict in the Pacific where bases are quite as im- portant as the number of naval ves- sels available for a theoretical en- gagement. The foregoing principles, as worked out by our naval experts, have been given to the American delegation consisting of Secretary Hughes, Sen- ators Lodge and Underwood, and Former Senator Root. They are ba- sic ideas, but of course no single plan can be drawn up which will take care of all contingencies. It is up to the four members of the American dele- gation to determine just how far each principle can be applied. The navy is really presenting alternative plans. One plan may be predicated on a diptomatic settlement of certain dis- putés in-the far east. Another plan may be predicated on an absolute agreement with reference to fortifica- tions. The navy is furnishing all its ideas to the American: delegates, re- lying upon the latter to, use those principles as the discussion develops. ‘Thus far it would seem as if the naval men would like to see limita- tion carried out Iterally by permit- ting the completion of existing pro- grams but many of them realize that this will not satisfy American public opinion which has hoped the confer- ence would not merely bring about an equilibrium as between navies but which would actually reduce the an- nual expense. Reduction of arma- ment involuntdrily becomes the ob- jective and the real problem of the naval expert is to evolve a plan which will reduce expenses by elim- inating the superfluous parts of.a navy without altering its main fight- ing strength. When the American program, how- ever, is finally developed after the Aiscussions have already begun, it ould not be surprising to see the American delegation feel its way to- ward further reductions of expense even presenting proposals for radical cutting of naval programs now un- der construction. This is at this time merely. conjecture. The American delegation is prepnring a moderate Program to lay before the conference, hoping eventually to modify and still further reduco expense. The navy department considers its function to keep the American delegation advised as to how far the navy can be re- duced “consistent with domestic ' f res eer safety.” ‘But the American delega- tion which has the responsibility of making America’s policy at the con- ference, must first obtain assurances and explicit agreements concerning the willingness of the other powers to make equivalent reductions in ex- pense, The conference will not be a single nation’s affair. It depends for success on co-operation. America will not mit her armament alone, nor will she reduce it alone. ~All must agree to practical measures which are £0 definitely described as to leave no loopholes for international. misun- derstanding:'That's the trend of policy, in thy preliminary discussions, which now in pf kl NEWS PLANT IS WRECKED EAST CHICAGO, Ind., Nov. 9. — Four masked men broke into the Twin City Sentinel newspaper office early this morning, gverpowered the Night Watchman Albert Rhodes and wrecked the printing press, linotypes. and other equipment. The damage was estimated at between $9,000 and $20,000. Indications were that sledge hammers or other blunt instruments had been used in an effort to destroy the equipment. The Sentinel, a recently organized publication, supported John B. Rep: pa, Republican candidate for mayor, who was defeated in yesterday's elec- tion by Frank Callahan, Independent. Feeling over the election was declared to have been running high and yester- day Reppa appealed to the state gov- ernment at Indianapolis for protec- tion. Maj. A. P. Mellon of the Indiana national guard was ordered to East Chicago yesterday, but no signs of dis- order prevailed until the wrecking of the newspaper plant. REHABILITATION PLANNED. VANCOUVER, B.
