To Lift the Burden.
America's "second A. E. F." has left for Europe, this time on a mission of peace, permanent peace, where in 1917 the mission was one of war; and instead of millions of lives being offered on the field of battle, this newest "A. E. F." seeks to save millions of dollars—and millions of lives by effecting naval disarmament among the five great powers of the world.
Theirs is a mission which may lighten the tax burden borne by the people of five nations; and with that burden lightened, wars will be less probable.
This constant construction of costly battleships has kept nations poor by increasing the costs of government operation through increased defensive and offensive naval armaments.
England has admitted the cost is tremendous. So has America.
France, too, sees the wisdom of such an armament-limitation move, as does Italy and Japan.
It is to be hoped that the representatives of these great nations, during their conference at London, may succeed in the purpose of the parley—and by reducing the number and size and type of battleships, bring about a saving in governmental costs and assure a longer, if not a permanent peace.
