BATURDAY, HEC. 3, 10m, Smror-- I ---------- aes et esting W-------- THE DAILY BRITIS y $ The Navy League of Canada DISARMAMENT and Admiral Earl Beatty, O.M,. Etc. Speaking In Massey Hall, Toronto, November 28th, 1821, sald:-- tpn ae "THE NAVY LEAGUE IS A NATIONAL OR- GANIZATION PERFORMING A GREAT NA- TIONAL WORK. IT SHOULD BE SUPPORTED BY EVERYONE." Sis TE following is the broadest possible indica- tion of the feeling of the Navy League of Can- ada on the proposals of the Washington Confer- ence on the limitation of naval armaments. : When the war began the tonnage of 'capital ships" (i.e. battleships and battle cruisers) in the British Navy was: ONE MILLION THREE HUNDRED AND TWEN- TY-TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN HUNDRED That of the United States Navy was: FIVE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT THOU- SAND TWO HUNDRED AND FIVE '1t is now proposed that by "scrapping" and cessa- tion of new construction the ratio for the next ten years shall be: . i Great Britain Five hundred thousand tons United States «Five hundred thousand tons Japan Three hundred thousand tons : There are so many technical, moral, economic and political Questions involved in consideration of the points at present under discussion, and it is certain that there will be mary modifications of the original proposals which form the basis of these discussions, that at this stage of the Conference it would only be.confusing to enter upon a more detailed anldlysis of the whole question, This involves an immediate sacrifice by: : Great Britain of TWENTY-THREE SHIPS, nineteen of which are afloat; United States of THIRTY SHIPS, seventeeh of which are afloat; Japan of TWENTY-FIVE, ten of which are afloat. The proposal to allow the question of submarines to be left wide open with construction unrestricted, prompts one to - ask the question: -- Is the whole aim of the Conference to equalize naval strength by scrapping the costly capital ships and offering increased facility for competition in a less costly but much more deadly and diabolical weapon--the submarine? The economy of such a proposition which would increase brutality at a decreased cost, leads one to believe that there I8 no altruism in the whole business. The Navy League of Canada endorses the follow= ing statement made by Mr. Balfour: "We have considered the proposal with ad- miration and approval. We agree with it in spirit and in principle." But:--a prominent Canadian newspaper says: "We welcome it as an expression and a symbol of a moral ideal, the substitution of the reign of law for the rule of force." The Navy League of Canada BELIEVES THAT THE * SYMBOL" OF THE REIGN OF LAW AGAINST THE RULE OF FORCE IN 1914 WAS--BY THE HELP OF GOD--THE BRITISH NAVY, AND THAT THE WASHINGTON CONFERENCE 18 ONLY POSSIBLE TO-DAY THROUGH THE READY EFFICIENCY OF THAT "SYMBOL" AT THE TIME OF HUMANITY'S SOREST NEED. The Navy League of Canada believes that the word of a writer in the Washington "Mail" more nearly defines the character of this proposal :-- "It is not humanity revolting against the ba of war, but business common-sense » revolting against going bankrupt." . The Navy League of Canada does not advocate National ahd Imperial bankruptcy, but DOES emphasize the simple truth, easily overlooked, that WHAT HAS BEEN MAY BE, AND THAT IN INDIVIDUAL AND NATIONAL EXPERIENCE THERE 18 NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN. r The Navy ¢ of Oatada shares, in common with all men and ill, the longing fora world common- wi ia. which everyone 'shall respect his neighbor's prop- erty. But it is the duty of the League to remind us that, Just as hunger for food, discontent with wages, labor condi- tions and the like, stir men and women to revolt so that they attack their nearest neighbor who has--or seems to have-- what they lack; so do land hunger, territorial ambition and kindred afflictions torment nations.

"The entrance of the word giv- eth light; it giveth understanding to the simple." This was the Psalmist's judgment of the value of the Bible. But don't let's get the notion that there's some "hocus-pocus" method where- by light is going to come. God has laid down certain clear- out-rules which must be-observed if the light of 1ife is to give radiance-- and they're the rules of common sense, too, so that most of us can easily grasp them. Simply stated here are some rules that will guide you jn the study of the Bible. First, find out who it is that' ig speaking when you read the record. And remember that the Bible is an inspired record of what was said or done--this does not mean that ey- erything in the Bible is inspired. The British Empire coastline is: OVER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES, scattered over the seven seas. Arthur Brishane, U.S, writer, says: -- 'With her danger points all over the earth, Britain would need a navy twice as big as ours : for purposes of defence." \ We recall the word of Mr. Balfour:-- "Our weakness should not be forgotten by our friends." It will never be forgotten in Canada so long as the Navy League of Canada is true to her charge. "KEEP WATCH" The Bible tells us what God said, what certain inspired men like Mos- es and Peter and John said, what uninspired men said, what bad men said, and what the devil said. So it is very important when you of Scripture, to find out who is res- poasible for it. Second, study the situation under which the words were used, as well as by whom they were used. What was the motive back of the words? To know something about the character of the person using them will help understand this more An Important Item Sound digestion is the basis of health and vigor. - Digestive disorders should have prompt attention.

Occasionally a socie bud de- clearly and to know the history ot that person will also help. Who were the persons spoken to? To get a grasp of this situation will help clear up many obscure pass- ages. For example to remember that if Moses, was the great law-giver, that Matthew wrote especially for the Jews, Mark particularly for the Ro- mans, and Luke largely for the 'Greeks, will be worth while. Recall, - too, that Paul's great theme was "faith," that of James was "work," .that of Peter "hope", and that of John "love." These men were selected for their special kinds of writing because of their peculiar experiences which fit- ted them for their work. Third, study the context of the particular verses or sections of the Bible that you are reading; that is, the parts.of the Bible which lead up to them, or which follow.

Fourth, compare" Scripture with Scripture, keeping in mind what has just been stated regarding the dan- ger of selecting isolated verses or passages. It will be found most interesting to see what the Bible teaches about sin, or love, or faith, or work or al- most any other subject of which the Bible treats, Fifth, study a single book in the Bible, so that you will know the cir- cumstances about which it was writ- ten, why it was written, by whom and where, and try to find out the specific thing that it teaches. - ® * To the biblé student who reads the word of God with an open mind, thére are given revelations which the i wisest men of earth cannot surpass. It is true that the more the stud- jent of the bible knows about the {rules of interpretation, about history and languages; the more intelligent | will be his study, and the more ef- {fective his teaching of truth to oth- * Charles Stelzle. ers. | But there's no. doubt that the | bumblest man who is led by the spir- it of God will receive knowledge (and wisdom that the worldly wise jcan never learn. But God never encourages a man {to remain uninformed--he never {places a premfum upon ignorance, | ~ Perhaps a good illustration of the advantage of general education and spiritual revelation is found when one tries to interpret the vision giv- en to Daniel, the prophet. : Nebuchadnezzar had a dream which his wise men failed to under- miscellaneous lot of verses , and Others Relieved -- : Why Not You?

To be plain, they were shameless, thinking. the work- ingmen of the city don't see through their little game.

Ottawa, Dec. 1 (To the Editor): The writér has received numerous enquiries and suggestions, both through the mails and in the press regarding the disposal of the can- teen funds by means of a "state lot- tery." Everywhere the lottery sug- gestion has met with the greatest enthusiasm. The only, difference of "|opinion is apparently concerning the amounts of the prizes. There is a minor detail that may easily be set- tled later. The "troops" must first ensure that their wishes regarding the lottery are carried out, by sim- ply voting "Lottery" in the blank apace provided on the ballot. The bal- lot will 'be available in the various post offices throughout the country in a_very short time. Do not trouble yourself about the four rather imma- ture proposals for the disposal of your money now on the balot form. The best that can be said for them is simply this, that if any or all of them are not already being carried out, or ere necessary, it is a job for the country as a whole to under- take and should not require being {done out of the money made from iron seed of |! it shall stand iven in the his-| prophecy | the in-| {the smjall wage of the soldier in his | {canteen.
