To talk about limiting European armaments in the face of these facts is to indulge in only the vaguest gen eralizations. Europeans may ostensi bly cease to arm in competitioon with one another, but they will go right on arming against the Orient. And the Asiatic will be able to. raise the limit at will. The end of the European war won't be followed by dasarmament in whole or in part of any existing nation, un less all signs fail. THE BAY STATE TRIES AN IN COME TAX.
