GOULD ENFORCE
UNIVERSAL PEACE
Beresford Says America and
England Gould Bring About
General Disarmament
SUBJECT UPPERMOST
IN ENGLISH MIND
English Statesman Advocates
Taft Idea OF a General
Treaty of Abitra-
ton

\ LONDON, March iS.--In remark
able interview given TO the United
Press to-day, Admiral Lord Charles
Beresford, one OF England's foremost
statesmen and aghting men, declared
that America must take the iniia-
tive In bringing aSoe, world peace
and that America and England COM
bined could force international dis
armament. This subject is upper
mpst In the British mind to-day as
the result Of Foreign Secretary Gray
warm approval OF President Tart
recent recommendation OF an ai~in-
elusive Anglo American arbitration
treaty Lord Beresford claims the
credit for originating the idea of such
treaty.
Ills statement Follows:
Copyright. 1911. by the United
Press
BY Lord Admiral Charles Beresford.
In a speech at the Pilgrims dinner
in New York. in August, 1909, de-
stared In favor of an arbitration
treaty between England and the
United States to include all questions
OF dispute. ] believed then and
believe now that such treaty would
insure the worlds peace and ultimate
disarmament.
i did not suggest a formal alliance
as believe thai a simple understand
ing would be sufficient. X the United
states and England agreed TO use
their influence and resources to Keep
peace, IL liz hard to conceive OF any
other nation attempting war. With
out such an agreement the interna'
ticnai race for ornaments VIII even
tualiy result In uni, ersai bankruptc,
or an early war. There can be nc
other outcome,
America must take the initiative
in this movement England is th'
worlds most Vulnerable nation be
cause the seizIng of her trade routes
In tho event of war would cripple
her desperately within wesk. Tt
England war IL q matter of life oil
death, while to other great power
il would merely be circumstance
Therefore England must maintain he
lead in ornaments at any sacrifice
England is consequently estopps'
from forcing her peace views on tn
rest OF Europe.
But the United States is absoiutel!
invufneraele. Any OF her assatiant
would be eaten up. Therefore she !
well able to take the lead in estab
fishing universal arbitration.
Ii unable to establish the peac
principle unaided. America could un
doubleday succeed with EnEland's &C
operation. Wars of aggrandizemsr
are easier to prevent than wars wher
honor In involved but even the la'
ter would be preventable II the dis
putants knew that It would be mad
difficult for them TO fight
For instance the United States an
England, practically controlling til
worlds markets could make almos
impossible the conduct OF prolonG
ed struggle by any other two nations
] care not what two are named. TIL
control Of the markets, backed by tn
com bined fleets OF the two countries
would inevitably render war impos
sible.
This is why want America to TAX
the first steps. II think EngSan'
would follow: If the Administrations
OF the two nations CO not act. Il
the two great Anglo-Saxon famiiis
move spontaneously.

Japan Has soldiers in Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, u. c., March Is
That Japan already has an army of
veteran soldiers In Hawaii and has
been engaged during the past year in
military activity In the Philippines,
was admitted here to-day In con-
nection with, the statement OF Count
Won Reventlow.
The OFFICIAL attitude OF utmost cor
diality between this country and
Japan, prevented any official com
ment upon the Reventlow statement,
hut several army and naval officers
have recently received personal infor-
nation In letters from the far East
which largely bears out tina conten-
tons Of the German expert.
II declared that Japan firmly be-
lieves she could take the Philippines
with ease. That her spies have been
at work In the islands has not been
denied since tho Arrest or two Japanese
secret agents nj Corregidcr. last fall.
In case Of war. II II believed here
the first attack would be made in
Hawaii. where an army OF Japanese.

overnight. BY endeavortng to cut OF
the American feet, through the cap
ture OF her naval bases. Japan plans
TO hold the Philippines at her mercy.
IL Is said.
The activity In Mexico. where an
effort Is being made by Japan to es-
tablish a coaling station at Man

cation that, being satisfied with his
