There must be co-operative effort, based on a sincere desire to peace and ruling out mutual suspicion, if the de- sired end is to be attained. Hither-. lo, quite apart from the German claim, much difficulty has been en- countered in seeking to arrange an equitable scheme of disarma- ment, but the end in view is well worth straining every nerve to at tain. Let us hope that out of the demand now put forward by Germany, there may arise a new and even better effort to banish the fears of fresh antagonisms and hostility.
