HE DECLARES AGAINST NATIONAL
 DISARMAMENT.
At Banquet the Statesman States Be- lief That Always There is Dan- ger of Being Swept by Gusts
 of PamSfOn,

London. July s1.-The government tonight rendered a banquet to the del- egates to the Universal Peace Congress at the Hotel Cecil. Lewis Harcourt, First Commissioner of Works. pre- sided. The guests included Herbert Henry Asquith, the Prime Minister; Lord Fitzmaurice. the Lord Chancellor; Lord and Lady Courtney. the Countess of Aberdeen, James Bryce. British Am bassador to the United States; William T., Stead and other prominent persons.
 MT. ASquIth in proposing toast 10 the international peace movement well comed the delegates to the Universal Peace Congress and assured them of the British governments sympathy. He said he was not consoled by the argument that colossal armaments were the surest safeguard against war, when he was assured by a great au- thority that the annual expenditure of somewhere near four or five hundred million pounds sterling.
 We must ask ourselves" the Prime Minister declared. whether we are bound to acqulesce in the futile fatal ism which accepts the argument as a fact"
 He was sanguine enough to believe
 
 ent would live to witness the advent of universal disarmament. National security always must hold first place in the plans of the government of any country and while communities, like individuals remained, they were liable to be swept with gusts of passons and impFudent statesmen. They provide against the contingencies of war.
 But admitting all that" MT. Asquith continuer. "the plain fact remained that there was no enterprise more worthy of the efforts of good men than to devise practicable means. not only for minimizing the risks of in- ternational quarrels but for providing . rational &ubstitute for the settlement of disputeSR by warfare. Among the various means of progress in this di- reetIon he said the first was the growth of international agreements. The sec ond was the substitution of interna- tiopal litigation for the barbarous methods of slaughter. The translation of these principles into practices was beset with dificulty. though not in his opinion. iasurmountable difficulty.
