"But Mr. Mellon has entered the rough and tumble of the arena to support the Republican President, and has been the Secretary to the Trensu at Washington for the inst ten

years. # Mr. Mellon's views on Debts and Disarmament, ware escape the American Press during not likely to decade of public employment, though on papers, most of them, are blankly ignorant of the opinion of the new Ambassador on this vital question. Mr. Mellon has been perfectly frank on the matter, in his report to the Debt Commission, in various speeches at different towns, likte Philadelphin, and in the conversation at the aforesaid inter view.

THE CONDITION, If he does, then it strikes me as obvious that the Disarmament policy which President Hoover has sent over Mr. Mellon to propese is: Reduce your armaments and America fill reduce her demang for loan payments.

Of course, it cannot be put s crudely as that to the American voters,' in the present financial dis- tress. The thing will be wrapped: torium, and the money for the ser up in a continuation of the Morn- view of the Liberty honds will be included perhaps in some emer- "goney loan..

If Mr. Mellon's mission doesn't. mean that. it means nothing. To be sure, M Mellon has agreed pro formd to Sir John Simon's futile Mr. Mellon's opinions about war, proposals to limit the use of certain debts in 1926 WOTE:

arms of war, such as tanks, poison gas, aircraft, big guns, and the size of land forces. As.. I pointed the futility of this kind of dis- armament was proved by "the Co- ventions of the Hague Peace Con ference "of 1007, which prohibited the laying of mines, the bombard- ment of un fortified towns, sub- marines, etc., every one of which was ignored when war broke out. Mr. Mellon will support Sir John Simon; he could do no other. M. TARDIEU'S EASY TASK, But I should be surprised if Mr. service to permanent prew Mellon hasn't some quid pro quo perity in the world?
