The Light of tha World Singapore Free Press--America has set herself up to an extent as the apostle of righteousness and she has forced her disarmament proposals to the front in the face of the conference on the subject which the League la' to hold in November. She has therefore put herself in a position of some superiority of principle and moral as regards the rest of the world. That' may or may not have been pleasing to the rest of the world but it having been done It carries with it the necessity of maintaining those high ideals and It can hardly be said that the mere desire to have as powerful a Navy--regardles sof the need for that Navy--as any other country in the world is a very high Ideal although it may be very practical politics. In short an impression Is growing that all the fine words of world disarmament and universal peace are simply a cloak to an aspiration to be the greatest naval power in the world. There is nothing to quarrel with In that per Be, but It ought to be stated openly so that everyone would know what was really intended. Tip for the amorous flolder.
