CURTAILING
ARMAMENTS
Physical Cutting Down of Armies
and Navies is
Big Problem
The subject of limitation of armaments
raises the question:
How are the disarmaments to be
carried out?
France's position demands that
she gave an army greater than
Germany. Will Great Britain allow
her ancient enemy that prestige or
will she demand an army of equal
Italy has almost as la*ge a stand-1
army as the United States,!
while Japan has a number equal to
that of France and England combined.
In attempting: to carry out and
enforce the articles providing for
the limitation of the effectives of
the German army as provided in
the Versailles treaty, the lnter-allied
commission of control has met
with so many difficulties that notwithstanding
the difference of circumstances,
a doubt arises as to
whether any disarmament program
will meet with smooth sailing, says
Miss Georges Thomas, former attache
of the American embassy at
Paris.
Just as the whole question of
peace with Germany cei.ters on the
question of her disarmament, so
does the question of the world's
peace center on the limitation of
armame nt of all the nations and i
with tnis arises the problem, what
is to be done with the surplus war
materials in case of a general disarmament
being carried out?
In the case of Germany the
Treaty of Versailles provides for the
details of the composition of the
German army in its various parts,
for instance, stocks of munitions,
number and caliber of guns, manufacture
of munitions or war materials,
the importation into Germany
of war material or arms, the manner
of recruiting and military training,
period of enlistment of military
officers, non-commissioned officers
and privates, numbers of military
schools, fortifications and
till /\ T 1 * rv/^1 I
jiwriiii#^-i ui nnijsrt tv/ uc i uiaiut'u
well as the number of airplanes.
Other than these, all armaments,
factories, military schools shall be
destroyed.
In order to guarantee the destruction
of war material "and the closingdown
of all factories which were
used in the manufacture of war material,
the treaty established the Inter-Allied
Commission of Control
whose duty it is to supervise the
destruction.
This met with the most determined
resistance from the peoples
of the enemy countries, showing itself
in many unfriendly incidents
such as oceurcd at a ball in Berlin,
when a French officer, believing
that all was peace beneath hi?
host's rooftree. invited a German
lady to dance. Her reply was a resounding
smack in the face of the
I amazed officer.
The naval Inter-Allied Commission
of Control was delegated to supervise
the breaking up of battleships
in the course of construction
and take delivery of all surface
ships submarines, salvage ships,
tubular docks, and supervise the
destruction thereof.
TVio A oi*nnniitis>n I Pfiinnii'c.oinn nP
Control was delegated to make inventory
of the aeronautical material
existing in Germany, to inspect
aeiopiane, balloon and motor manufactories,
and factories producing
arms, munitions and explosives capable
of being used by aircraft; to
visit ail aerodromes, sheds. hanrrars,
etc., and authorize, where neceessary,
an inventory of material
and take delivery of such.
The factories formerly u.-ed exclusively
for the making ot armaments
in -Germanv are estimated at
26.000.
These are being converted under
the direction of the Inter-Allied
commission into factories for commercial
nurposes.
This destruction of aeronautical
material gave rise to considerable
excitement in Germany, and a cinena
performance was not complete
without pictures of fields of airplanes
being destroyed. The audience
never hesitated to express
their disapproval loudly.
In the case of Germany, the government
contented that after the
material had been rendered useless
it should remain the property of the
German government. The allied
governments decided that this materia1
belonged to them to do with
as they saw fit and should be sold
by the reparation commission, the
proceeds being credited to the German
reparation account, and a mandate
was g;ven to f he reparation
commission for this purpose.

lin, known as the Thireau <Je Liquidation
de Materiaux de la Guerre,
whose duty it is to receive tlv::
property and sell it cither at private
or public salo. delivering- the
proceeds to the reparation commission.
P?v:t since the armament limitation
commission will have r.o rep a
ration to exact, what is to become
o' unnecessary war material?
The Treaty of Versailles reads:
14By March 1, 1020, the total number
of effectives or the German
army must not exceed 100,000 men
and they must be devoted exclusively
to the maintenance of order
within Germany and to the contro'
of the frontiers." Article 163 provides
that this reduction of German
military forces shall be gradual.
Will the disarmament conference
follow these lines? 1

mmr*m
forest and coast guards and gendarmes
in Germany may only be in
creased to an extent according tc
the increase of the population since
1913.
Germany agreed that after shr
shall become a member of the
League oi Nations, the armament?
fixed by the treaty shall remain in
force until they are modified by the
I Council of the League. How fai
I will she observe the decisions of th-i
[League on this subject remains tc
be seen.
I After the disturbances in the
Ruhr a year ago, Germany proposed
that her effectives should be doubled.
How to guard against each of the
powers, in the event of disarmament,
continually finding sufficient
excuse to make a similar demand, is
one of the biggest questions to be
settled.

Dear Sir:?
1 wish to correct an error than
was published in your last issue of
the paper stating that during the;
summer at Myrtle Beach my life j
was attempted by a shot that was j
fired by some unknown. This is absolutely
a mistake, nothing like thai ;
has ever occured to me and where,
you received your information I can't i
imagine. Thanking you for your J
attention, 1 remain yours truly,

get aboard on every decline.
Many sections report that picking
and ginning are about over, and
low condition estimates are coming
out daily, most of them predicting
a yield of from 6,000,000 to 6,500,000
bales.
Let's keep the following facts before
us. The 1020 carry-over is
now scarcely more than 6.000,000
bales, and if the 1921 crop proves
to be 6,500,000 and American consumption
and exnorts total 10,500,000,
this will leave practically no
carry-over next spring if every bale
of the pi>esent crop is marketed.
If history repeats itself, at least
2,000.000 to 3.000,000 l>a'es will bo '
held into next season, and there may
be a lively scramble fo>- cotton during
the next few morths.
