PEACE PACT AND THIZ NAVAL BILL iany thoughtful ing the holiday sea- ninds of citizens turn dur son to a contemplation of what may | be done in Washington regarding the multilateral pact and the cruis- ' er bill. The Scnate postponed action on both 1ssucs until January 3, giv- | well as senators take it, to weigh | ing citizens as time, if they will the claims being made for and against both. There is opinion in the country which runs this wise: If the United States is sincere in promulgating a multilateral peace pact it should not at the same moment consider the construction of 15 cruisers. On its face this argument has weight: but immediate cruisers would bring the American navy merely up to that parity allow- ed by the Washington Arms Confer- ence. One is confronted with the ad- ' ditional fact that both the British and Japanese navies are up to the parity allowed by the Washington conference—in other words, these nations built their cruisers first and clicited a willingness to sign the Kellogg pact after find no fault with these nations for 'their action; why should there be opposition to the American nation in showing a willingness to sign the treaty and bring its cruiser strength up to parity? There is another angle sometimes overlooked. The Coolidge cruiser bill specifies no time limit within which constructon must take place, This may mean the construction of these may never take the Coolidge bill cruisers in whole place. Passage of may merely be a method of placing ! in the hands of the administration a club to swing at any future naval .discussion, such as at Geneva last June, True, Scnator Hale has fathered @ 15-cruiser bill which de- mands a specified time for construc- tion, and upon the passage of this alternate hill much strength by - friends of the is Deing ex- pended.
