Movement to Initiate Interna- tional Disarmament Confer ence Is Recommended By
 Secretary of the Navy
Bx As.oc,atsd rr...

Washington, Decmeber N.-The United States. if it does not enter the League Of Nations, should initiate a movement looking to an international conference for the reduction of armaments, Secre- tary Daniels of the navy department said tonight. If an agreement is not reached by all nations for such a pro- gramme, the secretary added the Uni- ted States should nave a navy second to none"
 The question of disarmament also was discussed in the Senate today, Senator Johnson, republican, California. declaring that disarmament agreement by the nations who constitute the five allied and associated powers in the World war would constitute the "one great step that could be taken toward the promotion of peace and the prevention of all future wars"
 Secretary Daniels in his statement to- night declared that his naval estimates recently submitted to Congress called for only minor vessels and expressed approval of the general boards building pr ogramme only in the event that the United States does not enter the League. of Nations, or become a party to an ir International agreement to limit arma- ments.
 The naval secretary advocated legis-. lation similar to that in the 1916 naval bill which authorized Pres- ident Wilson to appoint a commission of nine members to represent the United States at an International armament cor ference
 If we do not want the League of Ma tions," said Mir. Daniels. we ought to have conference purely on the sup- 1ect of reduction of arma ments. Every nation that has joined the league has this and all they need now is to get us in. Unless there is some such agreement the United states should have a navy second to none. This is the req son that I have advocated the sinking of the German fleet in mid-ocean as an object lesson to all the world that it is to build great armaments for purposes of conquest"
