SUFFERING, SHE SMILES Marian Moss, 4 years old, of 8 Bast Lennox street, Chevy Chase, lost a valiant fight for life yesterday after violating one of the primary rules of childhood. She played with matches and was fatally burned, but she was game to the end. After being prepared for bed Sun- day night she obtained a box of matches by some means, and before she realized the danger the box and her flannel nightgown were ablaze. Her screams brought her mother, Mrs. McElroy Moss, and a friend who was in the house. They were able to stamp out the flames, but only after the little girl’s arms, face and hips were seared. Although she was suffering intense pain, Marian bit her lip and held back her tears after the first fear had passed. A physician was summoned, and he immediately ordered the girl taken to Children’s Hospital. The seriousness of the burns was not real- ized at first. “Mother, remember, I’m smiling,” Marian said as she entered the auto- mobile that took her to the hospital. And throughout the ride she main- tained her stoic resolution not to cry. Despite every effort to save the brave girl’s life, she died about ¥ o'clock yesterday morning. Her father, who was in Norfolk, hurried home, but arrived only about an hour before Marian succumbed. The mother, who herself had only re- cently returned from a hospital, was prostrate last night.

Dramatic Promise for Future. Yet because it has involved tedious and necessarily private negotiation it would be a great error to jump to the conclusion that it does not con- tain dramatic promise for the fu- ture.

Two Separate Problems. The work of the London conference has really comprised two quite sep- arate naval problems—the problem of | the relations between the navies of the United States, Great Britain and |Japan, on the one hand, and the problem of the relations between the navies of Great Britain, France and Italy, on the other. | These are quite distinct problems |The first of these has been solved. | This is a great achievement in itself and fruitful of great benefit to the general conditions of the world for the future. But it is a far simpler problem than the other, because the naval relations of three countries, sepatrated by such great oceans and wide distances as separate Great Britain, the United States and Japan, are necessarily less complex | than the naval relations of the great | powers of Europe. The latter are complicated by many | conditions from which the former are |entirely free. Furthermore, Amer- ica’s isolated and advantageous posi- , tion and the national security which | this position affords impose upon us | the duty to lead in the limitation of armaments and to refrain from criti- cizing others less fortunately placed Second Problem Discussed. In the second of these problems— the problem of the relations of the navies of Great Britain, France and Italy—valuable discussions have been had and the underlying questions upon which a final solution must |rest have been explored and clarified In much of the discussion members ~ |of the American delegation have been | Privileged to sit as friendly observers, watching the development and clari- | |fication of these underlying ques- tions. The discussion has not merely of navies or the types of ships. It has been a study and debate con- cerning the political questions which govern the relations of these three nations of Europe to each other. Into these political questions it has not been America’s business to enter. But sitting on the sidelines it has been quite evident that the result of | the conference has been to clarify | issues and make their solution in the | In this way | step forward has been made | future a long toward ultimate limitation by tlrose nations which have not yet agreed on a complete limitation of their navies, This came not only by clarifying the results of their discussion but by the patience and good temper in which those discussions were carried on.

Such an agreement by | its very nature precludes the idea of | War aS an instrument of national | policy. For no nation is likely to agree that its neighbors shall have a navy large enough for such a pur- se. One of the surest tests, therefore. of the effectiveness of the Kellogg- Briand pact is the progress which is being made in the limitation of armament. Limitation of armament is a barometer or guage of the de- velopment of confidence between. na- | tions which will enable them to deal with each other wholly upon an ami- | cable basis.

BELL-ANS' | FOR INDIGESTION should like to make clear to you all today is that the success of the Lon- don Navay Conference is necessarily related to the success of the Kellogg pact. The good resolutions of that pact can not stand alone. They must be fdllowed by national effort, prompt, constant, unremitting effort to make them good, and no line of effort offers a better earnest of its success than the line of naval disarmament. In selecting that line President Hoover laid his finger upon the best method of insuring that our solemn promise of two years ago should be fulfilled. There are but two possible soads to travel. One is the road of competi- tive armament and this, whether ac- companied or unaccompanied by good intentions, will lead to war. The other is the way of limitation with its constant effort to forestall war by creating such confidence and friendliness between nations as will prevent the seeds of war from grow- ing. We have now befcse us not only a definite objective but a concrete method of going at it. There is something to work on, to get our teeth into. The hard work and constant | vigilance which will translate good intentions into practical realities can be accomplished and are being 4c- complished by naval limitation. This, to me, is the significance and en- couragement of the conference we have just been through.
