Ilepresentntlvc T. K. Uitrton, of
Cleveland, will picsent what ho be
lieves will provp a practical plan for
disarmament to proposo nt tho pica
cut session of tho Intcr-Piirllnmcntniy
t Union In Loudon.
Dltaiinaincnl, as n theory, has been
under general discussion for years. Ad-
I vocalcs of peace and arbitration feci
that the fritltlcssncss of this discus
sion is explained by the failure of any
ono to advance a feasible program.
Kvcn If such n program were rejected
it would shift tho talk of the woild
fiom generalities as to tho desirabil
ity of a nh'eck on war preparation lo
tho consideration of specific details.
That Is Mr. Burton's purpose, lie
desires to obtnln, II possible, an agree
ment hy tho representatives of the var
ious parliaments who arc meeting In
tendon, with tho idea that their tec
ommcnilation will receive cemsldera
. lion by The Hague conference that fol
lows. And In tho next session of Con
Jgicss Mr. Durton would tiso this
'cchcinc as an added argument against
further naval incrcaso by the united
States. After three years of effort, tho
Clovcland man succeeded this last ses
sion In holding up tho projected 20.UUU
Ion American battleship.
It Is already certain that disarma
ment will be brought to the attention
of the coming Ilac e conference. The
American dclegtt-M an to favor It and
If necessary hi lug It orwnrd. The
now liberal government of (Ircat Brit
ain has declared tavoially for the
proposition through its cabinet Min
isters In tho House of Cfiumons. ling
land, then, will be committed to the
proposition, arid her delegates, it la
understood, will bo ready to propose
Its consideration if those of no other
country do.
There are indications that France,
groaning under the burden of main
taining becond rank as a sea power,
would welcome negotiations to check
the competition In battleship building.
Italy Is leisurely with her naval con
struction and apparently satisfied with
a minor marltlpie place. Ilussla Is not
in n position lo struggle for tho priv
ilege of spending money on warships.
Germany alone Is now actively hostile
toward ihu pioptuial to check naval ex
pansion, and Is likely to prove, a Ktunin
ling block to nuy agreement, either In
the Inler-Parllapientary Union or Tho
llaguo conference,
Tho present status of naval strength,
Including Bhlps built nnd building, Is
as follows:
(Iicat Ilrltaln Battleships, CI; arm
ored cruisers. 33; torpedo boats and
destroyers, 253.
Kianco Battleships, 25; armored
cruisers, 24; torpedo boats nnd des
lioyers, 359,
United Statoa Battleships. 25; ni in
ured cruisers, 12; torpedo boats and
ilestroyeis, IS.
Ocrmnny Batlleshlps, 24; armored
cruisers, 8; toipctlo boats and destroy
ers, 133.
Japan Battleships, 12; armored
ckulhors. 12; torpedo boats and des
troyers, 129. '
Ilussla llaltlcslilpo, 12; armored
crulscis, G; torpedo boats and destroy
ers, 1GG.
Italy Battleships, 17; armored
cruisers, 7; torpedo boats and destroy
ers. 111. '
Of this strength. Great Britain has
six battleships and thirteen armored
cruisers building; France, six battle
ships and two armored cruisers, and
Japan, three battleships and three arm
ored cruisers. But the United States
has eleven battlcBhlps building, fourf
armored erulbcrs to be commissioned
this Summer and two In 1308. Tho
modest building progress of all these
countries except Kngland and the
UnHcd States shown tho pressure ol
naval cxpcndltuie on their finances. In
splto of German hostility to tho pro
posal lo stop, that empire Is not build
ing much faster than is required to re
place obsolete ships and maintain the
lighting line as It stands.
There never has been a time of such
equality among the-great naval pow
ers In point of armament as that ap
proaching when tha fleets, as tabulated
above, will be completed. This Is al
lowing, of course, that Great Britain's
claim to n necessary preponderance
civcrany two powers be admitted.
This, then, say tho advocates of reduc
ing war preparation,' Is the 'Ideal time
for everybody to stop. ' ,
If Germany argues that she should
not bo prevented from building a navy
as big as that of Great Britain, they '
will point to her present modest pro
gramme of construction, as compared
with ngland and the United States, and
ask why Germany Is not attempting
such "rivalry now, when there are no
restrictions.
A cheek on naval expansion will e
tho chief themo in London and The
Hague, at any rate.
