The plan of the United States for the limitation of armament presented by Secretary Hughes at the first session proposed that all programs for the construction of capital ships, either actual or projected, be abandoned; that a large number of battleships of older types still in commission be scrapped; and that the allowance of auxiliary combatant craft, such as cruisers, destroyers, submarines, and airplane carriers, be in proportion to the tonnage of capital ships.
Germany's voice must be the determining factor. But Germany announced that she was willing to be bought off by large concessions of French territory elsewhere provided that Britain was not allowed to have anything to say: provided, that is, that the agreement of 1904 was scrapped. This was a not too subtle way of trying to drive a wedge between two friendly powers. It did not succeed.
The overseas reformers contend that the territorial and political balance of forces has utterly broken down and must be definitely scrapped in favor of a league of nations, and the diplomatists hold that the principle of equilibrium, far from having spent its force, still affords the only groundwork of international stability and requires to be further intensified."
Presently, I hear that she's scrapped with Sweeney and is off to the desert like a flash. So she's really here?" "Sure," said the boy. "So," continued Hanson, who was loquacious by nature, but sufficiently shrewd and experienced only to let himself be so when he thought it worth his while, "I begin to figure on my chances.
"He hasn't scrapped with me, yet, Kathie," smiled the beauty. "Don't let him," advised the other. "It mightn't be safe. Still, I suppose you understand him by now, down to the ground." "Indeed I do not. Didn't I tell you he was unexpected?
"I've seen already. I know." "How do you know?" "Well, for one thing, Henderson, I noticed Cardigan has carefully housed his rolling-stock and he hasn't scrapped his five miles of logging railroad and three miles of spurs." Old Bill Henderson chewed his quid of tobacco reflectively and spat at a crack in the sidewalk.
There was a cheap theater, called "The Star," around the corner, where a noisy crowd of boys and girls could always be found in the gallery. It was a place where you ate peanuts and dropped the shells on the heads of people below, where you scrapped for your seat and joined in the chorus and shrieked over the antics of an Irishman, a darkey, or a Jew.
It is run as a private concern under the supervision of the authorities. Tobacco is distributed every Thursday on the scale mentioned previously. Clothing. Soon after their arrival in camp the prisoners were taken to a large courtyard, in which they stripped off all their clothes and foot-gear. As a health precaution all this stuff was scrapped and destroyed.
"In the meantime we will send a wireless for relief." "But that is the trouble, sir," he went on. "Number two has stopped. I knew it would come, sir. I made a report on these generators three years ago. I advised then that they both be scrapped. Their principle is entirely wrong. They're done for." And, with a grim smile, "I shall at least have the satisfaction of knowing my report was accurate."
But I can't, for I have a sick wife and a family of delicate children who have to live half the year on the south coast, to say nothing of my old mother, and I was fool enough to be taken in and back Sir Robert's last little venture, which cost me all I had saved. So you see I must make a bit before the machine is scrapped, Major.
