The Taxpayers’ Burden; What Powers Will Spend on Navies in 1921
r pilE administration has finally tak
en the public into its confidence
in respect to its plans for trying to
bring about an international agree
ment for limitation of armaments.
The president, through the secre
tary of state, has Xelt out the four
other great powers—Great Britain,
France, Italy and Japan—as to their
general attitude on the subject.
Ihe first step is more or less in
formal and unofficial. But the re
sponses are favorable as it was hoped
and expected they would be with the
exception of a detail in Japan’s re
ply, which undoubtedly will be ad
justed, and the proceedings will like
ly pass at once from tl.e informal!
and unofficial to the formal and of-1
ficial stage.
Each of the powers will be invited !
to send delegates to a conference to
be held in Washington.
Certain “irreconcilable ” senators,
who refuse to be pleased with any
thing the administration doe-', criti
cise these plans because France and
Italy have been included and because
it is proposed to discuss the question
of policy in the Pacific as well as
armament limitation.
This seems to be a narrow and :
prejudiced view.
So far as France and Italy are,
concerned, while they have not the j
same interest in the naval aspects 1
of disarmament as the other three!
powers, they are great military na
tions and their participation in 'he!
proposed conference will greatly add ‘
to its importance and prestige.
Either of these nations is quite as j
likely to furnish the moral leader
ship which is necessary to the sue- :
cess of the great enterprise, as is i
America, Great Britain or Japan.
As to the wisdom of including a
discussion of policy in the Pacific —
the program of the conference—-the
critics of the administration haven’t

I a leg to stand on. <
That is the one thing that must be (
jdiscussed and de’cided if the confer-'
j once is to have any good results i
i whatever.
The mad race for naval superi-_j
ority is largely due to fear.- ami sus-
I picions among America, Gicht Erit-|
! ain and Japan, regarding the policy 1
i in the Pacific. ’
Once these, fears and suspicions
I are removed, in the only way they ■
I can be removed, by frank discus
i sion, the great :st obstacle to an \
agreement for the limitation of naval 1
armaments will have been overcome. I
By including this Pacific question <
in the conference program, the pt--si- :

dent has taken the direct route to
the very heart of the disarmament
proposition.
Is Japan impoverishing herself to
build a navy big enough to attack
us or to protect herself against an
attgek she fears from us?
If the latter, it is up to us to give
her assurances and guarantees that
her fears arc groundless and by the
same token t demand of her as
surances and guarantees that her
Pacific ambitions are not in conflict
with our rights.
WheHiw- or not the British-Japa
nttse treaty is to be renewed is a
(juestion which has a direct, in fact,
a vital, bearing on this whole subject
of Pacific policy and naval limita
tions.
We have a right to know to what
extent the proposed renewal of this
treaty is directed against us and the
broad basis which the president has 1
outlined for the conference is notice ;
to both Great “Britain and Japan that |
if they enter it, America will be
satisfied with nothing less than that |
they lay all their cards face up on i
the table.
