Visionary Aims
Of Armament Meet
Will Be Shunned
American Delegate to Con
fcrrnce Hold That Com
l1ete Disarmament T Not
PottiiMe at Present Time.
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNINO.
Wellington, Sqt. 2' Formula,
(mn o the American iHcy m i
international ctmlerencc on the
limitation of armament will be be
Kiin next k, when Elihu Root
will arrive in Washington to ronfcr
with the other member ot the
American delegation Secretary of
State HuKlie. Senator Lode and
Senator Underwood.
, It i now Ktillc to outline the
consideration which will guide the
American delegation in the negotia
tion to achieve what is honed will
he a notable itep toward the picscr
vation of world peace.
To hold fait to the practical and
shun visionary aim will be the con
Mant endeavor of the American dele
gation in whote niembcrshi:) prac
ticality and absence of viwonary
tendencies are a common trait.
Self-De.'enie Imperative.
The American delegate agreed
that complete naval or military dis
armament i impractical at this stage
of the development of mankind- A
measure of national iclf-defcuse, it
is conceived, will be imperative for
srencratiom to come. No other na
tict would agree to complete dis
armament and manifestly the United
States could not afford to disarm
atone. Hence, complete disarma
ment is classed as visionary and it
i& desired that' the people srould
understand that this is to be 9 con
ference not on disarmament, but on
the reduction of armament to the ex
tent it may prove possible to agree
updn-"
An international agreement to re
strict and reduce armaments grad
ually does appear to the American
Kovcrnment to be not only far from
visionary, but intensely practical.
True, it may turn out to be imprac
tical to reduce land armament on ac
count of the attitude of Franre and
Italy. France, particularly would re
quire guarantees of protection from
a restored Germany which it might
prove difficult to provide.
' Ready to Halt Building.
But when the question is narrowed
down to the reduction of naval arm
ament by the three naval powers,
the United States, Great Britain and
Japan, it appears still more practi-J
cal. ihc United States, therefore,
will go into the conference prepared
tq enter into a binding agreement
to halt naval building, bjn by agree
ment only. Each party 'to 'the agree
ment must curtail its building pro
gram to the same extent as the oth
ers. The Navy department is already
drawing, up various plans under any
ol which an equal reduction of arm-
amcnt would U: achieved.
President FArdinc as taken a
firm stand-avainst th baeifists. whftil
woufir TjaVe the United States re
duce arniamen.even though other
nations refuse;, and his views are
shared by the American delegates.
The ! other . nations at . the council
boarid wil learn , that reduction of
armament is acceptable but not im
perative from the American view
point. If other nations are unwilling
to enter into a fair agreement, the
United States will continue naval
building with resources that Will en
able! her to outstrip Great, Britain
arid jleave Japan tar in the rear.
f U. S. Holds Advantage.
An indication of the advantage of
the United States, if the naval build
ing contest should continue unabat
ed, is afforded by the statistics which
place the annual earning power of
the American nation at $68,000,000,
000, of Great Britain at $36,000,000,
000 and of Japan at $9,000,000,000.
The British burden of navy building
would be nearly twice and that of
Japan nearly eight times the Amer
ican burden. i
To remove the causes of friction
in. the far ' east and the Pacific,
which militate against reduction ot
armament, also appears n intensely
practical. Pressure upon Japan to
consent to the settlement of the
questions relating to the " status " of
China will be exceedingly strong.

Plea Made by Craig
For "Inland" Seaports
(Continued From rn One.)
when the cost of freight is consid
ered. Water Transportation Cheaper.
"This is because shipment by
water is cheaper than by rail. There
is opposition to the opening up of
the Great Lakes to ocean traffic by
interests connected ywth the port of
New York. They ay the Erie canal
offers an outlet. Mit even if this were
feasible in carying the surplus pro
duction of Iie middlewest, the port
rnulH nnhanilli it. Conditions in
New "York City are such that the j
more freight received, the higher the
cost of handling becomes on all.
"The Panama canal was of im-'
mense benefit to both coasts, and to
the country within 800 miles of either
ocean, but it was of no commercial
advantage to the interior. The 16
middle western states which produce
70 per cent of the foodstuffs almost
all of the surplus that ' is shipped
abroad ought to have an outlet.
They can not continue to ;competc
with foreign producers who have
easier access to the sea, with conse
quently lower freight charge's. Odes
sa and the Great Lakes ports are
practically the same distance from
Liverpool, the -center of the world's
trade in wheat. . Yet it costs Ameri
cans two and one-half times as much
to ship from Duluth.or Chicago as it
does the Russians to ship from the
Black sea." ' ' , '-:-
$6,000,000 Saved in Year.
Mr.
Craig quoted authorities who J
that the opening up of the
declare
Great Lakes to ocean freighters will
save as much as 10 cents a bushel.
Victor B. Smith, managing editor of
The Omaha Bee, who intraduced
Mr. Craig, in his opening address
placed the annual wheat crop of
Nebraska at 60,000,000 busheis and!
stated that 90 per cent of it was
shipped out of the state. He made '
the point that since the price is based
on the world market in Liverpool,
with the cost of .freight deducted, a
saving of 10 cents a bushel in carry
ing costs would mean a saving of
$6,000,000 a year for the wheat rais
ers of this state alone.
. Mr. Craig, to ilustrate the low
cost of water shipment, gave figures
showing that lumber mills on Puget
Sound. were shipping their products
down the Pacific coast, through the
Panama canal, ' and up the Atlantic
coast for less than the cost of send
ing them direct by railroad. Lumber
following this route, he declared,
could be brought inland from New
York to Cleveland, and still the
freight bill would be less than if it
had been sent -by land the entire
distance. - '
- The cost of waterway construc
tion, which would be divided with
Canada, he estimated at $252,000,000
for the share of the United States.
This would be met by an issue of
bonds, which would be paid off by
the earnings of water power plants
to be erected as a part of the project,
so that it ought not be necessary for
any part of the cost to fall cn the
government. The savings each year
in freight rates alone, he estimated,
would more than double the cost of
construction. Western railroads, he
stated, were in favor of the plan, and
he complimented G. W. Ifoldiege,
former manager of the Burlington
lines here, who sat at his table, for
having been the first railroad man
who saw the advantage of the water
way and spoke in favor, of it.
Negro Suspects Released
Norfolf. Neb.. Sent. 29. ( Snecial
Telegram.) The three" tiegroes ar
rested here in-connection with the
search for the murderer of a North
western railroad detective at Omaha
were released on request of railroad
special agents.
Train Bandits Steal
Cargo of Gin But Lose
Plunder As Auto Burns
Streator, 111., Sept 29. Automo
bile bandits late Tuesday night, at a
point a mile from the village of Read
ing, threw a danger signal that stop
ped a Santa Fe express train and
then filled their motor car with 20 or
more cases of gin and sped away. A
mile from the scene of the robbery
the automobile caught fire and the
bandits fled.
The Steator police found 10 cases
of gin in the machine and evidence
that several other cases had been
burned.
A woman's rouge case was found
in one of the gin cases.
The gin was consigned from Chi
cago to San Francisco. The train
crew, however, did not discover the
robbery, according to the police, un
til the train reached' Tolucca, 20
miles west of here.
