It must ba clearest the outset that both In tha light of foreign and omeatlo condition President Harding has chosen his moment for Inviting the allied and associated powers to a conference at Washington with pu- of London, the most important gathering In the history of the British empire. has halted before the problem of the Japanese alliance. In the United States there Is unmistakable insistence upon j policy which shall avoid a new race for armaments and a Pacific rivalry which might spell war. In his present course It Is plain that the president has substituted the conception of The Hague for that of Paris. He is sbeklng to bring about, not an international partnership for world regulation, but an International agreement on certain questions which can and will be enforced by the public sentiment of the nations which are parties to that agreement. At Pa?is the league of nations was created to regulate, admlnster and control international affairs and relations. The frontiers of states were to be guaranteed; In the larger sense the league was to seme as the executor of the treaty of Versailles and all other treaties which together compose the Paris settlement. But in leallty, in practice, the whole conception broke.. down, because the people of the United States, Britain, Italy and Franc were not prepared to send their armies and sacrifice their sons and their resources In establishing Armenia, restraining the Bolshevist or dlai Ipllning the Turk. . Hague Plan Simpler. - Id contrast. The Hague Idea, to which now has resort, is inflnitelv eks to go no further than simpler. It to find a method of employing the popuwill In all countries to desire and lar avoid rivalries and escape conflict as between each other. If it be true, and I think It is, that the people of the United btates, Britain, France and Italy aie Mr. Harding equally anxious to avoid naval competition. and between all of them there Is the same lack of cause lor fear of aggression. then nothing is simpler than for the representatives of all four to sit down at a table and agree upon a naval holiday As for Japan, conceivably the Japanese public opinion is the same. In that case, then, there Is nothing left for Japan but to depnonstrat this fact by her course In conference, precisely as Germany demonstrated a similar view In the matter of land armaments as well as naval In the two Hague conferences and thus put the world on Its guard.- - From these two episodes dates the full recognition In Europe of German purpose. Japan Must Show Hand. l Refusal by Japan to 'attend the conference. refusal to share In the decision!, which for the other representatives are already forecast and must mean reatric-tio- n of armament, will be for Japan to toilless to purposes which must lead all ihe nations hating Interests In the Pacific to precisely that kind of an entente which followed German at The Hague. If Japan means to attack us or our Interests in tue Pacific, there is no mechanical device which can rrevent the attack, whether It be the league of nations or some expanded Hague tribunal. The maximum of human skill must be to prevent wars which are not willed In td-- . vance. The conference of Washington, If It Is attended tig .Japan, and Japanese refusal would be significant. In Itself, must lead to a frank placing upon the table of all the cards. It Is not merely that the United States wishes such a result; Canada. Australia and New Zealand all have similar objectless, and. In the recent London conference, have given unmistakable proof that for them any alliance must b predicated upon American assent. As for France, concerned because of her Asiatic colonies, of which a is the most Important, she has already sugggested such an arrrangement from th conference of - Mi mightemerg London, not an alliance, hut a general agreement between all the great powers Anglo-Japane- Indo-Chln- Anglo-Japanes- e, Army Reduction Less Simple. The suggestion that the limitation of armies, a well as navies, should be considered at the forthcoming, conference, which Is also heard. Is less appealing, for the simple reason that, while the public opinion of all the recently allied and associated powers, with the possible exception of Japan la united on the heed to avoid naval rivalries and restrict naval expenditures, and the elimination of Germany has removed the last disturbing element on sea, the conditions of these same powers on land are too dissimilar to permit common agreement. Britain, with her grave colonial problems In India, Egypt and Mesopotamia; FYance, with her German and Syrian difficulties. and the lesser powers, such as Poland and Rumania, With their Bolshevist dangers, must look upon th question of th reduction of armies from totally different standpoint than do Americans, whose most menacing land danger now comes from Mexloo. Patently, progress toward th restriction of naval expenditures now will help enormously when It become possible, as K ultimately must, to discuss the reduction of armies; but Faria failed because It tried to do everything.
