A PROBLEM AS OLD AS MAN rrHE conference on armament reduction convening today is I an event of world wide moment. There are many who are very hopeful that great good will result from the gather ing. Others are skeptical upon the subject. Time will show who is right. The conference will have complicated problems to deal with. Yet the main question at stake is a simple one. It is as old as man. II is a problem with which mankind has long dealt and in the main that problem has been successfully handled. Disarmament first began when the cave man ceased to rely entirely upon his own club for defense and began to lean upon the, protection afforded by his organized tribe. The process has been carried on through all the ages. Disarmament has always come, about through protection of the smaller units by a larger unit of government. The city protects its people, the state de fends the cities and the nation protects its member states. But between the nations there has thus far been no effective organ ization sufficient to insure against danger and by such insurance permit of disarmament. The League of Nations was formed in an effort to overcome this defect in the world arrangement. The supporters of the league idea have argued that the formula that has brought about peace between individuals, cities and states can be used to insure peace between nations. They reason that human nature is the same as ever and that protection must be provided before there can be any laying down of arms. It is contended that a nation like an individual will not lay weapons aside until an organization is created upon which there may be eafe reliance for protection. Is that correct reasoning or not? The best way to answer the question is to take it home to yourself. If you had no protec tion through police, sheriffs or other law officers and other peo ple were equally unrestrained would you feel safe without de fensive weapons of some sort. The question permits of but one answer. The same question permits of but one answer when applied to nations. Any nation will be glad to reduce arma ments if it can do so in safety. But how is that safety to be pro vided? That is the real problem before the conference at Wash ington. If that question can be solved the attempt to carry out a reduction of armaments can easily be carried out. If we are to judge by man's past experience it seems safe to assume that as a condition precedent to disarmament there must be united action by all the nations or many of them to the effect that pro tection will be afforded individual nations. That is not vision ary. It is common sense. Nor will such concerted action by the nations mean that the freedom of individual nations wiil be jeopardized. Our laws and the police powers by which those laws are enforced do not destroy the liberty of the individual. On the contrary the individual is protected in his freedom, his rights and his property. But it is visionary to expect nations to disarm unless some new plan is devised for their protection. For a nation to disarm without the condition precedent would mean for that nation to take risks that an individual under the same circumstances would not take. If permanent peace and reduced armaments are to come will those things not have to come under a move that is in accord with human nature and with evolution? Is the United States ready to try such a plan? a A TIME FOR SOME THINKING FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE SAYS CONFERENCE'S SUCCESS DEPENDS UPON ITS "ACTORS Delegates Believe Universal and Perpetual Peace is Pos sible Declares W. J. Bryan. l!V WILLIAM JKXNIXrSS T5P.YAN (Copyright, 1921, by United I'ress.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. The con ference which is about to assemble may prove to be the most important 'gathering in centuries, or it may bring tho greatest disappointment experi enced In generations. It all depends upon the real purpose of the actors a put-pose that can only be revealed by acts. The delegates believe Universal and perpetual peace possible, they wiil try to secure it; If not they will not at tempt anything of real and permanent importance. It is a conference from which any one of the nations may emerge the! hern. I The United States may surprise the ' world by ofteiing so much that the other nations will be compelled to uu copt the offer and end war. Japan may announce a willingness to go so far as to Insure the success ot tho conference, (li cat Itrltain may ( step to i m rroui and settle dlrcussion by a proposition which will leave the other nations no alternative but to accept. France may find in disarmament her I greatest security anil point the way to i world peace. nun will win inc. capital prize, which In this case will be the plaudits of the world ami the gratitude of pos terity? The United Stales bus the best posi tion. She extended the invitation and have the first move. More than that, her traditional policy has been to re ly upon her I'ai-ific intentions rather than upon fleets and armies, fn the present Instance she has n might as set In the debts due her. Suppose the United States were to step forward and say; We are willing to pay ten billions for the progressive disarmament of the world, begun at once and continued until the navies are no larger than necessary to police the seas and armies no larger than necessary to preserve peace on land; could tho nations refuse the offer? Ten billions of debt cancelled on such conditions would enable the al lies and their enemies to pret together and so distribute the same as to bring a large measure of financial relief to every nation Involved In the war, and this relief would restore friendly rela tions and permit a disarmament other wise impossible. The cancellation of this debt, added to the reduction of military ti, naval expenses would give Hie world a new birth and so far to wards restoring normal conditions in business. Could the United Suites afford it? A reduction of one half ia her military and naval appropriations would enable her to save the amount in lesa than twenty years; a reduction of three fourths In army and navy expenses would enable her to save the amount In less than fifteen years. It will be difficult for the debtor nations to pay the sum and tho obligation to pay it is made the basis for indemnities which, however just, threatens tho amity of Mu rope for generations and thus fur nishes an excuse for military and naval expenditures scarcely less burdensome than tho indemnities. Would the American people support such a proposition? Why imt' Thv are sentimental; they spent over thirty niiiions to end war by means of war; would they not spent ten billions to end war by peaceful means? And be sides the American people are practi cal, if (hey can savo enough on mili tary and naval amironriuliims l 11 1 rir twenty years to compensate them for Hiving- up tho debt, why should they spend two or three times that sum on army and navy while they consume l"n years in collecting the debt, not to speak of the possible dangers that lurk in the attempt to collect such a debt from nations already overburdened? Has this nation any better offer to maker 'Is any other nation able to make so large a contribution towards tho success of the conference? 28 YEARS HflT (from the Daily Kaiet Oreyonian, Xovember 12, 1SD3.)
