The Hight Hon. A. V. Alexander, Fir.-t Lord of the Admiralty. The sinking of the submarine 11. 47 with Its appalling loss of life Is re- sponsible for a passionate plea by Mr. A. R. Uardiuer iu the "Star." We writes: â€" Ac-roplano.s are a weapon of war, but they have also added enormously to the useful and harmless equipment Of society. Hut the submarine is un- mittgalod devilry. Apart from Us uses as a weapon of war It is entirely worthless, and if It were outlawed to- morrow there is not a single healthy human interest which would suffer 10£S. "The fact that It Is a .-.iionk that strikes in the dark, a ctlininal tliat hits below the belt, and nowhere else, would rob war of its last rag of de- cemy and honour, if such a rag re- mained to It. Inl this vile furtive mon- ster, that sluyni indifferently both friend and enemy the savagery of war tou< lies Its basest note, and its exis-! tence In an offense against the most elenierilary (onditions of a civilised society. ' "Wiiy Is this outrage iiermilled to destroy the innocent and affront the conscience of the world? All the nations have solemnly outlawed war. Why cannot they give evidence of their good faith by outlawing this most infamous weapon' of war? It Is Raid that It is the only weapon of defence available to the small nations themsolves. It Is not the small na- tions like Sweden and Norway that are building submarines, and it is coniinon knowledge that if the mat- ter re.'iied with these I'owers the sub- marine would be banned to-morrow. "The resijonsibillty Is not with the small I'owers. but with the great Power.'^, the Big Five of the Sea. And of these, two at least, and three al- mase certainly, desire Its climiuation. This country made a propo.sal to that effect at the Versailles Conference. It made it still more formally and ur- gently at the Washington Conference in VJ'll when it was supported by the United States. Since then America has Independently, through its I're- sldent. repeated the proposal. I think I am right in saying that Japan is in full aicord. "With this powerful backing by the two greatest sea Powers In the world why Is the infamy not aboli.shed? The answer Is that France blocks that fought the proposal at Versailles, and fought it still more obstinately at Wasliingtpn. on which occasion Ijird Da'foiir addressed to .M. Hrland one of the most impressive warnings ever , directed against a nation In public ^ by a responsible stateman. | "It was uttered In vain, and today, eight years after, the competition in submarines is proceeding as though ' no League of Nations existed and no Kellogg I'act had been Rigncii, and France Is in this respect as predomin- ant In Kwropc aa she Is In the air and on land. { "It is time that this sinister fact was faced and challenged. The case of the bubmurno Is the acid lest of the armaments problem and It must be applied with candour and direct-' ness. It can be so applied with the utmost propriety anil force. Hoth this country and the United States | have repeatedly signified their wish to ban the submarine, and they have given abundant notice on Ihu subject. ; Ililherto they have failed to act out of consideration to the opposition of France. | "That opposition sliould now be met with a positive Insistence on the ellm- . Inatlon of the submarine from (he armoury of war. .Such us InslsliMice' would be endorsed by the whole iniu'al sen-ie of the world and by the over- whelming vote of the non-naval na- tioM.". If resisted, llie issue !-houlil be carried to the Leaguo of Nations. Nothing but good would result. "France anil Italy woulil either have to yield to the public, opinion of the World or they would be gibbeted as the protagonists of a weapon that every consideration of humanity and of peaceful Intention la concerned to outlaw and abolish. If Mr. Mac-; Dnnahl and I'resldeiit Hoover Is their momi'ntous meet lug decide to make the elimination of the submarine an •rtlclu of their common policy the fictory will bo won." | Just at the moment when the public has been following with painfijl an- xiety the effortsâ€" 4>venlually abandon- edâ€"to salve Subnuirlne 11.47, there has been publlshe<I a boixl which en- ables the layman lo realise the dang- ers and illfflcullies to be overcome and the heroism needsil for such an undertaking. That hook Is on the holtoin, by t'ommander Kdward Klls- berg, of the United Slates Navy (Constoble, lOS). It tells of the salving of the Ameri- can submarine S.!>l, whii'h was rnmni- •d by the 8.S. City of Rome in Sept- ember, 1925, and which sank In 135 feet of water In one of the stormiest sectlona of the .North Amerl<aii coast. | It was determined that no effort should bo spsred lo give back to thn btroaved relatives the bodies of iheir scei)tlcal, and It was only after fight Ing hard for It throughout a confer- ence lasting a whole night that lie was allowed to carry It out. The wreck-master of a salvage com- pany could undertake It. Kventual ly Commander KUsberg conceived a plan, but the Navy Department was sceptical, and It was only after fight- ing hard for it throughout a conferen- ce lasting a whole night that he was allowed to carry It out. The wreck-master of a salvage company, when leaving the confer- once, declared: "I don't know who Is going to do this job, but whoever he Is, he'll wish before he gets through that he had been born a girlbaby." The story of the terrific struggle with the elements which followed is told in a vivid narrative which is a great epic of tlio sea. Ttie reader will follow with breathles.i Interest the details of the opciatlons which make it easy to visualise every opera- tion and to understand Its purpose. Above all, it is a plea against the In- iquity of the submarine. Paper Suit Favored To ^Liberate' Men Chicago â€" How men can obtain a more comfortable form of summer at- tire, a (luestlon that has brought forth advocates of everything from pajam- as to barrels, has another answer. It conies from Waldemar Kaempfert, director of the Uosenwald Industrial Museum, Men's enslavement to fash- ion, says Mr. Kaempfert, will be brok- en by paper suits, costing about $2 a piece and thrown away after about two week's wear. "The fibers." .Mr. Kaempfert says, "will be made of paper, and will be spun like cotton or wool, then woven into attractive patterns. Instead of being sewn together, the woven â-  paper will be glued. A man will step. Into a clothes shop, where an expert' tailor will in a few minutes drape strips of paper about his form and then fasten them with fi.sh glue. "Such a suit â€" unlike a paper tissue ' towelâ€" will be unaffected by rain ' and hold Its shape for at least two ' weeks, after which it can bo thrown ' away. "There is no (|iiestlon that present clothes are uiadileniiig. But wo are slaves of convention. Although a thousand men marching down to ' work in pajamas would liberate us from the present style tyranny, It Is i Impossible to find a thousand such ! men. The paper suit Is our only I hope."

The secret com- pacts of pre-war days may Indeed stiil exist, but they have no binding value on the peoples of the gr^vern- mcnts which made them. Furthermore, no treaties made be- tween any of the members of the league are valid until they have been omcially registered. Once they are transmitted to the treaty section of the league they are public property. During the past calendar year, ac- cording to the report which the secre- tary-general. Sir Eric Drummond, will submit to the assembly In September, there have been 382 treaties register- ed by members of the league and the United States has voluntarily sent, to the secretariate for publication 14 treaties negotiated by Washington during tl:e year. To date, according to the rep rt, the treaty section has compiled and printed, in their original languages and in French and English, 1.S50 treaties â€" SO volumes of about 45C pages each. The total of treaties thus far depo.?ited at the league sur- passes considerably the 2.000 mark.
