move on to wrest control of town at-

and clearncss. and is acted most
skilfully'by a. well selected cast of
players. It is a play which must rank
as one of the best of our native

The Failure of
South American
Disarmamenq
The failure of the conference to
arrive at any definite agreement on
the question of disarmament was a
signal for many to call the confer-
ence itself a failure. This is evi-
dcntly unfair. In the first place. the
question was limited to three of the
eighteen countries represented—Ar-
gentina. Bras“ and Chile. The Uni-
sod States considered that her action
in the question had already been de-
cided upon at tho \V’ashington con~
forence. The other American coun-
tries have no navy. so did not con-
alder themselves as interested, since
the reductioa of land forces was not
considered. In the second place.
the A B C countries themselves have
no navies to reduce. unless they are
to disappear entirely. Argentina
has a like number of battleships.

Mello Franco made an impassioned
appeal for Brazil‘s position and de-
clared that she had not the local

Brazil had opposed from the first
