Closed Session Is Held

of France and of Italy

WASHINGTON, Nov. Is BY The As
socated Press) Decision was reached
at an executive meeting of the Commit
tee on Limitation of Armament late to-
day to appoint commission of adj
mirals from each delegation to draft
report on naval armament. The re-
port will deal with details under the
plan broached by Secretary Hughes,
which already has been accepted in
principle.
The commission will be composed of
one imiral from each delegation un-
der tho presidency Of Theodore Roose
welt, Assistant Sec rctary Of the United
States NSNy. AID, will be assisted by
the naval t~ahr.cal experts and ad-
vlsers of the several delegations
Official Summary
This official communioue was the
only report Of the proceedings of the
closed session:
"The first meeting Of the Committee
on Limitation of Armament was held
in the Pan American Building at A
p. m.
There were present the delegates OF
the United States Of America. the Brit
lsh Empire, France, Italy and japan,
with a secretary for each delegation
and the secretary general of the con-
terence, who was chosen secretary of
the committee.
A Subcommittee composed of one
technical naval adviser for each of the
five powers was constituted to take
under advisement the questions raised
by the proposal of the United States
Iy,,f rot
and to report to the committee from
time to time the progress CT their de-
llberatlons. The sub committee is COM
posed of the following: Colonel Roose-
yelt, Admiral Beatty. Vice-Admiral DE
Bon, Vice-Admiral Acton and Vice-Ad-
mlral Kato, with full power Of substi-
tuition for each adviser At the sug-
gestion Of Mr.. Balfour it was agree d
that Colonel Roosevelt should act as
chairman of this subcommittee.
The committee adjourned to meet
at the call of the chairman"
To Avoid Complications
The Franco-Italian contention that
an agreement covering limitation of
naval armament of the United States,
Great Britain and Japan should not be
approved by those powers until the
naval status of France and Italy had
been settled has been accepted in
principle by the committee on limita-
tion of armament, it was learned to-
night.
Secretary Hughes, as chairman of
the committee, was understood to have
agreed in the proposal that no sigma
lures will be attached to the naval
agreement until the French and Italian
positions have been worked out as
definitely as these of the three Najor
naval powers.
Omission of the French and Italian
fleets from the agreement defining
naval strength under the lin mi.ation
proposal it was observed, might pro
duce an unpleasant impression in some

Special correspondent of the "Chugai
Shogyo," of Toxic
WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.--Now that
the American plan for the limitation
of armament has been duly accepted in
principle by the delegates of Great
Britain and Japan at the session of
this morning, one may ask what eff
fects such drastic and farreaching re-
duction will have on Japan if it be
adopted and practically carried out, as
seems most likely. This may be the
dominant idea that forces itself to the
mind not only of every Japanese but
also of many Americans, who know the
present grave position and the past
history of Japan.
Japan has often been represented as
nation armed to the teeth, pursuing
an imperialstic and aggressive policy.
Her enemies call her a second Ger
many, and as reason for giving her
| this obnoxious name point to the pow
erful navy and army she maintains
They, however, conveniently forget
that it is Western nations, notably the
British and even American, that have
forced Japan to keep up SO big an army
and navy, and that if given concrete
and tangible assurance she will
not be attacked she will be only too
| glad to lay down her arms, under the
heavy burden of which her people are
groaning and which has so greatly
hampered her progress along peaceful
lines. This argument may sound
strange to readers if | omit brief ex-
planation.
Perry Episode Recalled
AS everybody knows, Japan had been
800 years, entirely secluded from the
rest of the world and living the life
of a we'll contented and happy hermit,
when some seventy years ago Commo-
dore Perry knocked at her doors and
compelled her to open them under the
veiled threat of breaking them open
with the guns his seven men war
carried on board. Japan had heard of
the cha astisement China had received at
the hands of certain European nations
because she did not like to open rela-
tons with them From this Japanese
statesmen of those days concluded that
Japan must yield to the demands of
Western nations to open their country
to foreign trade or suffer the same
humilia tion as China or even imperil
her existence as an independent nation
They chose the former policy. much
against the wishes of the masses, and
saved their country from the disaster
of being overrun by foreign invaders.
( Even SO, Japan could not escape from
being given an object lesson on two
occasions, illustrating the irresistible
power of foreign arms.
In 1863 a British fleet bombarded the
city Of Kagoshima and razed it to the
ground Again the following year
Shimonoseki was bombarded by com
bined fleet of four powers, including

Military Service
'sDown Arms, - Premier's
Answer to Hughes Pro
posal to Limit Navies
By Boyden Sparkes

WASHINGTON, Nov. is. - Before
Aristide BRAND sails for France No
vember 25 he will have set forth the
views of the French government with
regard to a reduction of land arma-
ment. The French Premier is to state
his position at public session Of the
conference to be held probably on
Wednesday, November 80, the last day
OF his stay in Washington. France. it
Is understood, is prepared, even anx-
ious, to reduce the term of military
service that is required of all her male
citizens.
M BRAND himself introduced the
subject of land ornaments before the
conference to-day, when he said:
The question will be raised--it has
been raised, gentlemen-and if there
is country that desires, that demands,
that the question of land ornaments
should be raised, it is France. 1t will
come in due time before the confer
ence, and hope that shall enjoy the
opportunity and that l shall be able to
state publicly in one of the meetings
OF this conference what the position Of
France is, SO that the United States
and the world may fully know. and
when ] have tried to prove this, when
you have listened to this demonstra-
ton, am quite sure that you will be
convinced, gentlemen, that France, af-
ter the necessities of safety and life
have been adequately secured, harbors
yhot ;ct, ..
peace of the world. The time will come
for this demonstrations
France Would Reduce Army
The demonstration that Nj. BRAND
spoke of is Believed, by certain of his
ADVISERS. to be proposal that France
shall reduce the term of military serv-
Ice. That term now is two years. Al
ready there is strong pressure from
to eighteen months. SO long as the
execution Of the Treaty of Versailles
devolves. solely upon the soldiers of
France it is believed unlikely that a
greater reduction is possible.
If France and Great Britain can
reach an agreement about the execu-
tion of the terms of the treaty with
Germany, the Frenchmen Of the dele
cation say, then France can reduce her
army, can Bel dlOHS WIN leWef IMAM
the 100000 men that she now has un-
der arms.
France has surrendered all idea of a
hard and fast tripartite agreement be-
tween herself, Great Britain and the
United States to resist Germany in
event of future invasions such as
those of 1871 and 1914 M. BRAND is
fnllv aware of Ambassadors Harvey's
recent speech on that subject, and M.
BRAND, knowing the ways of diplom-
acy, undoubtedly has surmised that Mr..
Harvey made such declaration only
with the full knowledge Of his govern
ment. Although the Premier until a
few weeks ago was credited with be-
lieving that this treaty might be re-
vived, he is understood to have
changed his mind in view of recent de-
velopments. The concensus among
Washington observers is that not even
M. Brands eloquence can revivify that
treaty, and that if any guarantees of
protection for France are forthcom-
ing they will be in the shape of new
understanding.
Some observers professed to see a

right for material force of arms. There
fore a just agreement among all for
the simultaneous and reciprocal dimi-
mutton of armaments will follow"
The article declared the Holy See had
always been convinced that the funda-
mental point Insuring peace was to
render fresh wars extremely improb-
able, if not impossible. The newspaper
said the Pope had deeply studied pro-
posals for arbitration and disarma-
ment holding that the simplest and
most effcacious mode of reaching dis
armament was by the abolition Of con-
scription, for without CONSUMPTION the
normal life of nation could proceed
and war on grand scale would be jm-
possible.
The institution of obligatory arbitra-
tion would be the inevitable result OF
disarmament, the newspaper declared

cott being applied to reealcitrant ma

The New York State Transit Commits

hearing in its Investigation into the
operating and financial conditions of
the transit lines of New York. An at
tempt by the Hylan administration to
block the efforts of the commission to
find remedy for the city's transpor-
tation problem was promptly brushed
aside
At the outset of the hearing, held at
40 Lafayette Street, and attended by
representatives of about eighty transit
companies affected, George McAneny,
chairman of the commission, reiterated
the commissions aim, as outlined in
its preliminary plan made public in
