London Conference May Result in Rigger Navies, Says Mez insistance on Parity Would increase U. S. Appropriations Suret y Possible art Leading Powers, Brought Into Proportional Relationships, Arrive at Agreement By BOB ALLEN o INSTEAD of ail actual reduction of armaments, the present stage of the London Naval Disarmament conference threatens to result in the most magnificent naval building program the United States has ever seen, which may call for an expenditure of from 800 to 1,000 million dollars over and above the present appropriations ” believes Dr. .John R. Mez, professor of political science. "But even though the conference should result in a temporary in crease rather than a reduction of our naval building program," con tinued Dr. Mez, "it may yet be a groat success in that the navies of .the leading powers, for the first time in the world's history, are urougiu into jJiruui tonal tionship to each other, and limited on grounds of common consent and agreement. Even though merely limitation is arrived at, this in itself vVould be something far greater than anything ever be fore accomplished.” . ■ deductions Not Realized “When starting out for Lon don,” said Dr. Mez, “the United States delegation was told that ‘no limit was too low,’ provided other powers came down propor tionately. But developments since the starting of the conference have shown that drastic reduc tions, at least for the United jk : ales, will be hard to realize.” ‘ One of the stumbling blocks at present seems to ’be the excessive demands of France,” declared Dr. Mez. “France has insisted on 720,000 tons, even though she may never be able to build all of it. She may yet, though, reduce her demands by some 20 per cent." "At the outset of the naval par ley.". explained Dr. Mez, “there were three distinct purposes that the powers hoped to realize before adjournment. The first of these was the abolition of the big bat tleships, the costly dreadnoughts.” !8 Battleship . in U. S. “There are 02 battleships in the world today,” said Dr. Mez. “The United States has 18, the last two, the ‘West Virginia’ and the ‘Colo rado/ having been launched in 1323. Great Britain built two in 1927, making her total 20. France! 'has nine, Japan 10, and Italy five. None . of these five powers are ^ building any at present, but if no additions are made to these num bers, by 1936- (as arranged at the Washington Disarmament confer ence in 1921» the United States and Great Britain would each have 12. Japan four, and France and Italy one each, less than 20 years old, if no new ones are added.” J “The modern battleship,” con tinued the professor, "has become so expensive that the smaller countries cannot afford to .bitild t*hem. These swimming fortresses may, for that reason, die a nat ural death, simply by not being replaced. A battleship costs ap proximately 510,000,000, ten times the cost of a university, and the maintenance of each amounts to two million dollars annually." Cruiser Limitation Problem The second problem confronting the statesmen at London is the limitation of cruisers, according to Dr; Mez. “Since the Washington confer ence," he -aid, “the naval powers vvere permitted to build 10,000 .ton-cruisers with no restrictions in regard to their number. Of this type of craft the‘United States now has built or authorized 33, the British Empire 63, Japan 33, Franco 17, and Italy 21. The first attempt to limit cruisers, made in December of 1927 at Geneva, failed, owing to British opposition. But Britain has now declared her self, ready to reduce her cruisers to 50, but e.ven at this figure a considerable increase -in the build ing program for the United Spates would be necessary if parity is to be achieved.” 'lay Outlaw Submarines Dr. Mez does not believe that the submarine will be abolished, but merely that its reckless use against merchant ships is likely to be outlawed. The accomplish ment of this objective is the third point ‘ before the conference. I ‘ Ury; -tionab’y. a treaty will be concluded among the powers as a'■ result- of the conference,” concluded the political scientist, “and in 1335 another international meeting will convene to consider the further reduction.” NEW INFIRMARY WILL BENEFIT FROM DANCE {Continued from Faye One) appearance at this event.

Smith will give the program. This will be Mr. Evans first appearance in an organ recital this term. His work in the past has provided many deeply pleasing programs for the larger audiences which have regularly heard him, and tomorrow’s vesper attendance is expected to be no exception, particularly with the added in terest lent by Dr. Smith’s part as reader. Mr. Evans’ program will include the popular "Liebestraum" by Liszt, which he has been request ed • to play. Liszt's Symphonic poem ‘Les Preludes” written on a meditation by the French poet, Lamartine, will be his final num ber. He will begin with the in troduction and allegro from a Guilmant sonata, one noted for the splendfd climax, developed in eon .trapuntal style in the allegro. It is known, too, for its massive chords, introducing the main theme, which is first announced in the pedals. Oisillou. by Gtieg, which is a study of contrasting flute effects, will complete the four numbers. The program will last 40 minutes. this will prove to be just about the least expensive afternoon's entertainment procurable a n y where around the campus.

The Oregon fund includes $100 from the Y. W. C. A. budget pre viously apportioned to Internation al Student service which is con centrating ail its efforts on Bul garian relief this year. A contribution of $25 will be made by the senior cla§s, if pro ceeds from the senior ball make it possible, Miss McGee explained. Members of the junior class are considering contributing half of the returns from Junior Shine day to the fund and will bring up the suggestion at a meeting soon. The freshman class will meet soon to consider a contribution. Miss McGee explained that a number of campus organizations are taking up the question this week. A number of schools on the coast, including the University of California and the University of British Columbia, have held tag days for the relief fund, but it was decided here to handle the problem through organizations, according to Miss McGee. , Other members of the committee are Bess Templeton, Lois Nelson, and Walter- Evans.
