By the Associated Press. ROME, January 9.—More than 22,000 men of arms, the pick of Italy's con- tingents, passed in review today before the new Princess of Piedmont, Italy's future Queen, who until her her mar- riage to Prince Humbert yesterday was Marie Jose of Belgium. As the cclumns the royal stand at the Parioll Race Track, just outside the city, they made “eyes right” in honor of the royal spectators. The families of both the prince and the princess witnessed the ceremony. ‘The crown prince commanded his own regiment, the 92d Infantry, from Turin, and composed principally of his own native Piedmontese. It was well in the van, Tdeally Situated. ‘The Parioli ground was ideal for the ceremony. It lies on the left bank of the Tiber, with the height of the Villa Glori on the east, the whole of Rome on the south, the dome of St. Peter's in the background and Mount Mario, with a range of pine groves, on the west. On one side of the royal reviewing stand was located a stand occupied by members of the diplomatic corps. Another stand on the other side held the cabinet, members of the Senate and chamber and the Fascist Gramd Council. The Kings, princes, their suites and foreign military attaches, all on horse- back, made a brilliant spectacle witn their gorgeous uniforms and spirited mounts. They were cheered and ap- plauded by a large crowd. Reception for Tonight. ‘This evening the square before the Quirinal Palace will be lighted bril- liantly and a special fireworks display set off on the historic hill to the west of Rome, lighting up the statue of Garibaldi, hero of the struggle for Italian unity. There will be a brilliant reception at 10 p.m. by Prince Bon- compagni-Ludovisi, Governor of Rome. ‘The royal couple will not start their honeymoon until Saturday, leaving then prob-bly for the royal hunting lodge at San Rossore, near Pisa. Formal entry will be made into Turin, Humbert's city of residence, some time next week. by e |19 GROUPS TO COMPETE IN PLAY TOURNAMENT Preliminary Contests Will Begin January 22, With Start of Finals February 7. ‘The fourth annual one-act-play tournament sponsored by the Com- munity Drama Guild of Washington will be participated in by 19 amateur drama groups.

This is the anicies on'h BY EDWARD PRICE BELL. “Commensurate expression on the seas” is a phrase sometimes used with reference to naval power—fighting craft, as differentiated from commercial ship- ping—in its relation to the economic possibilities and trade of a country. ‘What the phras: muu is that a na- tion should build a navy proportionate in size and military value o the agricul- tural, ral, manufacturing, trading and financial interests of which it is the first line of defense. “Build a navy as big as your cco- nomic base will allow.” That is what “commensurate expres- sion on the seas” comes to in plain words. Now, if America built such a navy it would have a very formidable fleet in- deed, because America is economically broad-based and almost incalculably rich. Its farms, mines, forests and fac- tories, together with its genius and vigor in their exploitation or conduct, are so extensive and productive that their equivalent, so to speak, in naval power would hold a kind of Damoclean sword constantly over the head of the non-American world. Great Fleets a Threat. ‘Would there be much of the spirit of international adaptation in that? Would there be much promise of peace in it? Would it not have the appearance of an established threat of oppression? Would it not bring the natural reaction of a coalescence of the non-American world for its own economic and political de- fense? President Hoaver, among others, af- nrms that it would. rroducuon, in the existing re- l-uom of peoples, undoubtedly betokens overseas trade, and overseas trade be- tokens shipping. Shipping, in its turn, ‘seventh of twelve special power.) view less despairingly the civil compe- tence of mankind—those who see a| chance for rationally regulated and per- | manent peace. ‘The proponents of the economic base as the measuring device of sea power are, of course, strict nationalists. They are the nationalists, too—equally, of course—of nations with economic bases 50 large and lavishly endowed by nature as to portend mercantile and naval pre- dominance at sea. Their doctrine, that is to say, is megalomaniac. “Let us be a8 big navally as we can,” is their coun- sel. “Let us stand severely aloof from others—and brush them aside if they get in our way!” What do you think of that philoso- phy? Does it seem to you sagacious? Do you feel that it is up to date? For my part, I judge it a philosophy rau- cously out of mesh with all th» great tendencies of the time. I think it ob- solete, I think it a philosophy of ig- norance and war, Seek Smallest Safe Navy. And, what is of real importance, the American naval delegation to London, instructed by President Hoover, goes abroad not for the largest Navy we can build, but for the smallest Navy com- patible, on & basis of relativity, with effective American national defense. ‘What we may term the pure naval- ists esteem themselves peculiarly pa- triotic—or at least peculiarly intelli- gent in their patriotism—and they pivot their argument upon economics. They see mountain peaks of national prosperity rising out of severe economic particularism. Our continental i)nsltlnn is an enormous treasure hou [t holds the certainty of an unmatchable volume of overseas trade. This trade will re- quire a vast merchant fleet. Let us go in for domestic production to the utter- most_and for all that such production foreshadows on the seas, including— lly—a majes- 50 long as war and piracy may appear | ti at any moment in the marine sphere, calls for armed preparedness afioat. The only apposite questions are: How much armed preparedness? How is this pre- : ness, this necessary naval power, to measured? Is it to be measured by the economic base of a nation or by the armed and armable menace to the na- tion’s rights and wealth on the water? “By the economic base,” replies pure navalism in America and abroad. Measure by Danger. “By the dimensions of the menace,” reply those statesmen, moderate naval officers and unofficial publicists who | re desire to diminish the burden of arma- ments and bring to maturity and com- pelling nutbnmy the moral .and legal resources of peace. The controversy is the anclent one of those whose faith rests exclusively in war and those who bhrst Line on the A/ URICE CHEVALIER . = 70-NIGHT 830-9.00 STATION WMAL as I understand it, is the per- oration, as it were, of the oration of pure navalism. U. S. Prosperity Aids Others. ‘Well, with much of it—with the sub- stantial part of it—no good American, nor, in fact, any astute foreigner, will wish to quarrel. We all want prosperity. It is good for us and for all who have any relations with us. No development of this kind, however great, is going to injure the non-Ameri world or cause it to draw away from us into a coali- tion of fear, distrust, dislike and armed ness to strike. But an excessive ‘war fleet under our flag—that would be a very different thing. It is just here that we find the car- dinal and irreconcilable disharmony be- tween the standpoint of the extreme reta navalists and that of President Hoover ice district, 1723 F street. D. C., THURSDAY, and his delegation to the lofl.hcomlnu conference in St. James' Palace. . The former see big and secure business in * big nee'.-—tho supreme fleet which would be commensurate, or sup ly so, with our unrivaled economic base in its free trade setting—while men of the Hoover school see big and secure business only in all-round military and naval intrenchment, with their ex- pected consequence of international trust, friendship, peace and prosperity. Heavy Arms Assume War, Excessive battle fleets and their coun- terparts on land (such as the German army before the Great War) always have been predicated upon war as an instrument of national policy. Treitschke, for instance, laid it down as |an_axiom that war is policy—national policy at work through force instead of throulh diplomacy. Treitschkelsm received a deadly check 10 or 12 years ago. War, operating as policy, broke upon the granite of a tree{ | world resolute to remain free. In place | of war as policy, or as an instrument D( policy, we now have a formal and world- wide repudiation of war in that bar- baric and catastrophic role. Conciliation, arbitration and adjudi- cation are now the accepted agencies of international life; and bloated arma- ments, whether on land or sea, have be- come one of the many anachronisms of | a more benighted and brutal age. American policy, confluently with that of what we may believe is the over- whelming_majority of nations. now is steering firmly peaceward. Movement in that direction may be slow; it is cer- tainly difficult; but it is just as cer- tainly steady. In going to London (orl a Navy of defense, and strictly of de- fense, President Hoover and his dele- gates are dmnf all they can at the mq ment to consolidate and accelerate that movement. If sea power was once the main as- surance of the safety of commerce in its widest field, sea power is such no longer. The safety of commerce today is not in war power of any kind, but in peace powez. International economic co-operation, the poles apart from com- petition in armaments, actualizes the only valid {xln:l ple of prosperity and the only reliable national defense.

Will Rogers Says: NEWTON, Kans.—That royal wed- ding in Rome yesterday; neither one had much choice of selection, unless they married outside royalty. If you think that wedding attracted a lot of attention, you wait till one of Mussolini’s sons marries one of Ramsey Macdonald’s daughters. They offered Babe Ruth the same salary that Mr. Hoover gets. Babe claims he. should have more. He can’t appoint & commission to go up and knock the home runs. He has te do it all himself. Lindbergh refused the St. Louis statue.
