TRIO OF TASKS FACE l). S. WITH NAVAL TREATY

Hear Admiral Moffett. Back From Parley, Pleads Aviation Cause. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS. Forein Editor NEW YORK, April 24, "Now that the London conference has ended in complete parity between tne American and British navies and an all-round naval limitation agreement between America, Britain and Japan, there remains for us a three-fold national duty still to perform. "First, we must build up to the parity which we demanded and obtained. "Second, we must provide our country with a merchant marine the equal of any. and "Third, we must develop our aviation, commercial no less than military, as an indispensable part of our national life and well being.” In this way, Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, chief of naval aviation at Washington and member of the American delegation to the London conference, sums up the task of the United States as he views i: upon hi return to this country. arrived on the George Washington on which the writer also traveled from England. First to Return Rea r Admiral Moffett, together with Rear Admirals J. R. P. Pringle, and H. E. Yarnell, were the first members of the American delegation to return from London. "I look upon the conference as a success,” Admiral Moffett said to the writer during the crossing, “because while France and Italy refused to come in on the major limitation agreement signed by America, Britain and Japan, the door was left open to them to enter later, if and when they settle their differences over parity. The agreement between the three great oceanic powers, or even the Anglo-American understanding, also makes the parley worth while. "Moreover, America now has a definite target to aim at when it comes to building up her fleet. We asked and obtained absolute parity with Britain and now if we wish our voice to earn/ full weight at future international conferences, we must build up to the mark thus set. Difficult to Maintain "Not to do so would place us at t, decided disadvantage. Naval understandings are very difficult to arrive at or maintain, so long as one nation talks in terms of actual ships of steel and the other talks in terms of ships that exist only on paper. “Another thing we must not forget," the admiral continued, "is that, sea power is not made up exclu- 1

sively of warships. Sea power is a combination of navies, bases and merchant ships. Were the world's navies so balanced that in war they would send each other to the bottom of the ocean, naval war still would go on and the nation with the best merchant marine would win. “That is particularly true nowadays when aircraft plays so vital a role. Every ocean greyhound is a potential aircraft carrier. Some of

We have definitely entered the air age and we cart advance our national prosperity no better than by linking up the United States with our neighbors via the air, not only to the north and south of us, but with Europe and Asia.
