hat the Arms Parle
eans te the Wor
Something worse than failure may be thc alternative te success when thc represent.!
fives of five nations meet in Washington en November Nth te discuss the limitation of arms.
Fer if the twenty men who will speak for thc United States, Great Britain, Japan, France,
and Italy fail te reach an agreement, some editorial observers aver, they will leave thc world
in a far mere desperate position than if thc conference had never been held. The failure of
this portentous experiment could "sew throughout the earth thc dragon's teeth of distrust,"
declares the San Francisce Argonaut, which is convinced that this "will net be a case where
it was better te have tried and failed than never te have tried at all." Lord. Northcliffe
declared thc ether day at Honolulu that "if thc conference en disarmament should fail, the
consequences will be utterly disastrous te thc whole world."
There is much in THE LITERARV DIGEST this week (September 24th) that
will threw a flood of light upon the coming arms conference at Washington. The lead
ing news-feature takes up the question of what would be the outcome if some under
standing is net reached, and its effect upon civilization. "British Hepe in thc Washington
Conference" is another article that outlines, in the words of, great British newspapers, what
thc British nation hopes te achieve at Washington, while still another article explains thc rea
son why the churches of America have fixed upon November llth as a day of prayer for a
limitation el arms.
