NAVAL LIMITATION
rp0 the man in the street it would appear that all that is
necessary to settle such questions as limitation of
armament is for the interested parties to gather about the
table, give assurances of mutual well-intent and good
faith, pledge themselves to harbor no secret design one
against the other, sign the papers and go home.
This might be the procedure if the people as a whole
had the say in the matter. But in Europe it is different.
There are too many paricitical growths attached to mili
tary and naval organizations to allow of anyone but the
interested parties to have a voice in the matter. Unlike
the United States, which develops and trains its fighting
men to contribute to the civic development of the nation
in peace time, and to be ready at a moment's notice to
take up arms in defense of their country, Europe main
tains armed institutions as a refuge for the drones of so
ciety. It is these drones, fearful of being compelled to
turn to productive and honorable labor, who are standing
out against limitation of armament on land and sea.
From time to time the poison has manifested itself in
America, but never is allowed to become virulent.
Schooled in the principle of right and wrong rather
than in organized brigandage like Europe, America has
sought to bring the Old World to its viewpoint. In so far
as the North American continent is concerned the princi
ple is well established that nations, like individuals can
possess mutual confidences. If Europe would lift a leaf
from American-Canadian history it might progress to a
point where it could leave its gun at home when talking
a neighbor.
After climbing to the top of Mount Marathon to view
the surrounding country, the tourist recalled he had for
gotten the glasses. His friend, of Scotch descent, replied:
“Never mind, there is no one about, so we can drink out of
the bottle."
One of the “young things" believes sailors must be
very dishonest, for she was told that every night a pilot is
relieved of his watch.

12 on parade.
Scientists would have us believe that the Irish are de
scendants from Eskimos, when everyone knows that the
igloo is built of ice, not bricks.
