The "Parity" Problem.
A recent dispatch from London to the New York Times moved the Secretary of State, Mr. Stimson, to a rejoinder. The message spoke of "a considerable feeling in Eug- land that, after the creation of an atmosphere excluding Anglo-Ameri- ean war," to turn to an effort to establish that, in the case of a next war-which is never to occur-the warships of the two countries should be able to shoot on a parity, seems to be little in the spirit of the oc- casion." Mention was also made of the contention that "it is no way. to begin discussions of fature per- petual peace by arguing about the tools of war." "Mr. Stimson's state- ment was as follows:-" The doc- trine of parity, in my opinion, is of very great importance as a LOCADE of determining, not how the two nations are to shoot at each other, but as means of helping them to agree not to shoot at each other.. The first step which people take when they are going to shoot at each other is to try to outbuild each other in the shape of aavies. The minute they agree not to outbuild each other they are taking one of the longest steps possible towards not having a war. That is why we are laying stress on the doctrine of parity.

Looking Back 25 Years,
Considerable excitement was caus- ed in Hong Kong yesterday by the receipt of the news from London that the British steamer Mascotte, at present in Hong Kong, had been detained by the British authorities ia consequence of certain inter- national complications. The report was to the effect that the Mascotte' had been sold to Japan. According to all accounts that can be gathered. there is absolutely no truth in the story The Mascott's crew got into trouble with the Harbour Master's Department through some misunder- standing as to which port their engagement came to termination at, but after the Hon. Barnce- Lawrence had explained to the men the actual terms of the agreement the difficulty ended. The Mascotte is light and is bound for Japan. She may have been sold to the Japanese, but she sails to-day with British papers-Hong Kong Daily Press, July 27, 1004.
