While representatives of flva world powera alt in conclavo In London, seeking to harmonize an Ideal of peace with the obtruslv. psychology of the first law of nature, citizens of another great power satisfy a rather detached Interest In the naval con.

terence through the newspaper Perhaps a little ruefully Germany realizes that for her disarmament la not a problem, since, under the Treaty of Versailles, she was maqe a gleaming example of Just how low a country's navy could ba reduced and atlll be called a navy. German can acarcely ba called n.v.miMriAii nn tlnn. Once the German atates auctfoned off G4lrmlin oeoause no ENTHIBIASM WANES.

With the erlppllpg blow ef the Versallloe tieaty, the naval enthusiasm of the German people went out like a sob. Ther.e came In Its place a psychology of frustration, of shame almost, that the navy granted Germany waa ao ludicrous, compared to the proud Imperial fleet of other daya In addition there was internal distress. The heavy cost of battleships made It an easy mat ter to convince people of their Heedlessness. Meanwhile, none the less, In the face of publio apathy, and even some strung opposition, navy advocates went ahead In their own way to keep Germany at least a little In tha aun aa a aea power. Tha merchant marine, for one thing, made a magnificent recov-ery, now amounting to SO per cent of Ita former atrength of 1,000,000 tons.

The brlghteat architectural engineering and construction minds in tha country were put to work on the problem ef evolving for Germany a superior fleet In strict conformity with the Veraalllea limitations, Nothing had been aald about the aire of guna on auch the Allies having depended upon tne traditional belief that ahipa of 10.000 tone oould be provided only with cruiaer guna of limited caliber. The reaourcefulneaa of German bralna, rather the re sourcefulness of diplomacy, proved them wrong. "Power in every pound, but save for tha gum," be came the rule. Frankly experimenting, but ex perimenting cautiously: able to discard the old mistakes, German naval engineera atored up their knowledge against eventual build ing of auperlor craft, which In tona would harbor the fomld- aUUity of veaeej, Jwlce thla. They built crulsera.

They reconai tioned old vessels. They learned how to use lectrlo welding In place of riveting how to adapt light metala to Interior fittings, with the supreme rule of using weights widely.

By GERVTLLE REACHE, One of the Foremost Journalists of France BT COOTOtrDATEPMrSS LEASED WIRE TO TBIBUHI PARIS, Jan. 26 From the tor- rent of speeches and articles which are flowing from St. Jamea Palace into the columna of newspapers al over the world, there Is only on' thing outstanding clearly and precisely aure: That the principle of the liberty of the seas has been abandoned and tliat former -United States ef America, haa renounced On. the contrary. It la Ramsay Mac Donald, the British prime min-leter, who now prpfesses that "the -woWef-'inSFWVpViHre 3tUHt aa.

Jn-i which Woodrow Wilson In January. 1 1918. defined the war alme oi America, It was little supposed that Britain, less than twelve yeare later, would have to record auch an about-face namely, ahara the hegemony which the British fleet Then enjoyed uneonteetedly, ami concede naval parity to the united States. QUOTES WILSON POINT "Abnnlule freedom of navlga tlon upon the sens otitxlrle terri torial water, alike In pence and war, except, an the acas may he closed In whole or In part by international action for the en forcement of international cove nants." 8uoh waa the seoond of 'Wilson' fourteen points, which at that tlm made auch a deep impression on congress of parliamentarians and diplomats of all countrlea, Twelve years elapsed. Where are we today? The stage reached Ih one of discussion of relative needs In the name of which relativity each nation la preparing to claim a little more tonnage and a Itttl more funds for their respective navlea.

Japan la reported to be consld erlng a claim of a total proportion of 70 per cent as compared to th naval forcea ef the United States, Why should France have leas than Japan, after the expose of he needs aa made by her delegation Italy Insists that her naval power be not Inferior to that of any other nation on the European continent, What an orgy of eonatructton would result If acceptance la given these desiderata, which, moreover, are purely theoretical and based on reaaona of prestige. The peoples of the world will not Judge the- London conference by the total tonnage or categorlea of ships, but by the criterion of the Increase or reduction in the strength ef navlea or the reduction of naval budgets. WILL ASK! "WHAT OF WART" World opinion will not Judge from tha angle national aecurlty but front the angle of aecurlty against war. It will ask from Its governments an account of tha measure In which they have ap plied to naval questions the spirit of the Kellogg pact and the Geneva covenant. "The time haa come to act," said Senator Borah recently, "and nut merely to praise the Kellogg pact." World opinion will consider Itself derided If the admirals and ateel magnates win tha day In thla Immense parley.

The simple observer discerns the monumental proportion of bluff In thla Immense contusion which threatena to obaeure the main Issue. It Is clearly evident, as a matter of fact, that the United States risks a naval war only aa ahe aeeka to establish overseas an Inauffer able hegemony. In 1914 England Indubitably ruled over the oceana. Who threatened her I It waa the aubmarlne, built long after the dec laration of war. which definitely threatened the food supplies to England despite her powerful dreadnaughts.

The thesis of defense of lines of communication ta Incapable of being upheld In the twentieth cen tury, and It la also entirely Con tradlctory to the peace pacta. The high aeaa must belong to all aa well as the air surrounding the planet. There should be authorized only a atrlct defense of territorial waters, measured exactly along the length of the eoasts. In the same way as defense of the atmosphere Is sought only above national ter ritory. (Cmtrat.
