UTLEY the recent naval conference began in London it was BEFORE conclusion that nothing in the way of a treaty between the principal powers limiting or reducing the quantity of naval armaments would result. Prevention of a world naval race was the highest hope held out by any of the delegates. Conditions were uncertain with war clouds brooding over Europe, Asia and Africa, and with Japan already having announced her ratio of the old Washington and London intention to break the pacts. pttrtunt. No Quantitative Limit. Success or failure of the "information- till j the worth of the treaty would be reduced. for the I'niled States and Great Britain are not only agreed to maintain the ratio by keeping pace with Japan's building, but would have to design their new building programs to offset the com petition in the Far East. The size limit for battleships remains at 8o,HK) tons, because of the need for that type of ship In the United States navy, with Its extensive coast lines to defend; minimum Is 17,5(10 tons. Cutis are limited to 14 Inch size tentatively; If Japan's new ships carry lGlneh guns, the limit will move up two Inches. There Is a second category of battleships which has been created for the nations whose purses will not permit the giant capital ships. This "IV category comprises ships of not more than 8. 'MM) tons with guns of at least 7 I dimension. t 1.1 - 7im ?

Should depart drasticalin her neoly from these limitation natal building it is almost certain that fife -J . Large-Cruise- r "Holiday." Under the division of "light surface vessels" come three classes: (a) Ships up to KUKM) tons carrying S inch guns; (b) ships from ;i,000 to S.IXX) tons carrying not over 0.1 inch guns, and (c) ships under 3.00D tons carrying not 1 over guns. No construction will be permitted between the minimum of IT.oOO tons for capital ships and the top limit of cruisers of 10.000 tons. Since a "holiday" has been declared on the construction of tO.OOO-tocruisers for six years, the tion construction zone will actually exist between 8.000 and n.fiOO tons." The United States, which prefers the larger type of cruiser, will begin building some of the 10.000-toclass when the "holiday" Is over. S.l-inc- h New U. 8.

It Is believed that the ?arlous nations will be able to effect annual agreements which will be mutually satisfactory. To the lay observer It might appear that the notification principle might hasten a naval race rather than deter It. But delegates to the London conference were Inclined to the opposite view. Norman 11. Davis, the American delegate, said that the foremost accomplishments of the new treaty were "the provisions which for the first time Introduce the principle of advance notification of building progruius combined with a rigid and detailed system of exchange of Information." In his speech at the signing ceremony, Pnvis said : "W't have undertaken to keep each other informed not only of our current in navies, hut also of our projected construction. We undertake to notify each other of all I'essels which M'e contemplate laying doun. Anyone who thinks lor a moment u ill renlize the manifest advantages of such an undertnkinf. Dread of the unknoun has been a seriously disturbing factor in international relations. "The fear of what your neighbor Is about to do causes distrust and suspicion which may In turn lead to a competitive Increase In armaments. We hope to eliminate this fear In respect of naval armaments by telling each other frankly and honestly In advance of our Intentions. We believe that such an act will tend so to regulate the rapidity and development of the construction of one nation that It cannot be regarded as a menace to others." Hop Japan Will Sign. The treaty was signed by Great Britain, France and the 'United States. Japan Is going to sign the submarine protocol agreed to during the negotiations. Italy, It Is believed, will sign the entire treaty before the year Is out. It Is hoped tbat Japan will also sign It. Assuming tbat the proper bodies In each of the signatory nations will ratify the treaty. It will become effective January 1, M'17, which Is the day after the treaties of Washington In 190 and London In 1031 expire. Katiflco- . by being regarded as Inferior.

Particularly are we blind to the enormous growth of the main body of the monster, Illicit distilling, compared to which smuggling and Industrial alcohol diversion have been mere trilling ex-- : creseeuces on its gigantic frame."

But out of the wreckage of fur nier treaties arose a new Idea which gives fair promise of bringing a solution to the problem of meeting changing international conditions over the years a problem which all too often treaties with rigid renders long-terlimitations Impractical. Even more Important Is the tendency of the new plan to do away with nations' Inherent distrust of one another. Under Its precepts the signatory nations, rather than conceal their naval building programs (often because such programs are out of line with treaty limitations), furnish one another with complete Information each year as to the entire building programs which they plan for that year.
