THE M LONDON NAVAL CONFERENCE Universal peace would not consti- tute in itself Utopia, but it would be a vast step forward toward that ideal state. The significance of peace to the world is far reaching, involving many benefits. Various attempts have been made from time to time in the direc- tion of world peace. Not necessarily a sweeping endeavor, but attempts at gradual lessening of armaments have been made. The Conference for Naval Iimita- tion recently ended in London, is the most recent step along the long, diffi- cult road toward world peace. It was not the intention of the conference to outlaw naval fighting forces, but to reduce and limit them. The hope of the United States and England was for a five power pact between the United States, England, France, Italy and Japan. France and Italy, however, proved the dissenting parties and the result was a three power pact between the United States, England and Japan. The reductions agreed to at the con- ference lessened by several thousand tons the total tonnage of the three navies, resulting in a vast savings to the citizens of the three nations. The ratios in the various classes of fighting ships remained practically the same as those agreed to in the Viiashington Conference, although the total tonnage in each division was decreased. The notable changes were made in the ratio of the United States and Eng- land, in the eight inch gun cruiser class and in the submarine ratio with Japan. The conference, to many of those interested, did not result in as com- O NITOR 65 plete a limitation as was hoped for. No additional nations entered the pact, which is regrettable, but even the limiting and reducing of the naval forces of the three naval powers of the world sets an example to be fol- lowed. NVe can not expect to attain complete harmony and complete dis- armament in one sweeping move but each such step is a step forward. XVhen the dissenting nations realize that those who formed the treaty are sincere in their intentions, when they have become satisfied that the move- ment will be beneficial to all, then, but not until then, Will they become a party. Suspicion of a supremacy of power is the root of the evil and when the nations come to realize that the leaders are not endeavoring to limit their fighting forces with a view to such supremacy in mind then they, too, will lend their cooperation. Time is the element to be reckoned with. Thou- sands of years of national jealousy and suspicion must be broken down before we can expect full accord to a disarma- ment plan, but each such conference as the London Conference, serves as a battering ram to weaken that wait of suspicion.
