THE kEAK, PREY Of THE STRONG
German Chancellor Says Disarnla-
nent Is Observation-Disclosures
ton Inadequate.

Berlin. Chancellor Won Beth
mann Hollweg, in the Reichstag, dis
cussed disarmament and internation-
al arbitration, but without departing
one iota from the well-known stand.
point Of the German government,
often declared on former occasions
The imperial chancellor saw the chief
difficulty in disarmament agreement
in the impossibility of supervision of
individual states. Control over
these" he said, II regard as abso-
lutely impracticable. The mere at
tempt to control would have no other
result than continual mutual distrust
and universal turmoil General dis
armament is an insoluble problem so
long as men are men.
1T will remain true" continued
the Chancellor, that the weak will
be the prey of the strong. If any ma
ton feels that it is unable to spend
certain sums for defensive purposes,
1t will inevitably drop to the second
rank. There will always be strong
er one ready to take its place We
Germans in our exposed situation
cannot shut our eyes to this dire
reality only so far as we can main
tain peace.
"The nations, including Germany"
said the Chancellor, have been talk
ing disarmament since the first
Hague conference, but neither in Ger.
many nor elsewhere has a practical
plan been proposed. Great Britain
wishes the limitation of ornaments,
but simultaneously wants superior
or equal feet. Any conference on
this subject is bound to be fruitless.
No standard for a limitation can be
found, and any conceivable proposal
would be shattered on the question of
control"
Americas Attitude.
Count Won Kanitz, conservative,
devoted the greater part of his speech
to American affairs, contrasting the
speech of Commander William S.
Sims, of the American Navy, at the
Guild Half, London. which called
forth reprimand from President
Taft, with the utterances of Congress
man Champ Clark concerning the an
nexation of Canada, saying:
While an American naval officer
is assuring England of the friend
ship of the United States future
president of that nation is talking OF
the absorption of Canada"
Canadian reciprocity, he said, rails
ed the point of what compensatory
favors were to be had by Germany
OF the proposed Anglo-American
complete arbitration treaty the
speaker said that the plan promised
little if questions like that Of the
Monroe Doctrine we're excluded
