Belgium With Forces Already Cut
Cannot Further Reduce Armament

Baron de Cartier Of Belgium said:
Mr.. PRESIDENT: Being still un-
der the spell of the thrilling and
convincing speech delivered by
NJ. BRAND. ! would just like to
state briefly the point of view of
Belgium on the question of limi-
tation of land ornaments.
Belgium, trusting in the under
taking given by the Powers that
guaranteed her neutrality, re-
NAMED for three-quarters of a
century faithful to a policy of
peace and limitation of armament.
The tragical events of 1914 were
for her a terrible awakener. While
she was aspiring to nothing but
peace, while she was only anxious
to accomplish her duties as a
neutral state. war was carried on
her own territory by the two
Powers that had not only taken
the engagements with respect TO
neutrality but TO see that that
neutrality should be respected.
Devastation, fire, wan-c- devas-
tation of her industries, numbering
and wounding of her inhabitants,
deportation of civilian population,
heavy losses in her armies were
the reward of her peaceful policy
and of the fulfilment Of her inter-
national obligations.
The Treaty of Versailles put an
end to this regime, which events
had proved to be worthless and
The New York herald., 1921-11-22

has reduced her armed forces in
the largest possible measure. She
has considerably curtailed her
navy expenditures in comparison
to the prewar time. The total
amount of her armed forces does
not exceed 100000 men, and a
further reduction to 175,000 men is
already planned. and $4,000 colored
troops.
Our ordinary war budget for the
present financial year amounts to
$52,000,000, including $11 100000
expenses for police forces. The ex-
traordinary part Of the var budget.
representing expenses dependent
for the liquidation of the war, ex-
penses therefore Of purely transi-
tory character, amounts to $62,-
100000.
However, although we have all
reduced our armaments to the
greatest possible extent. we con-
slider it necessary, for a complete
solution of the problem of limita-
tion of ornaments in Europe to
take into consideration the arma-
ments Of the countries either
created or transformed as a result
The New York herald., 1921-11-22

dangerous for her. Owing to her
special geographical position and
to her situation, Belgium is forced
to remain in q certain position.
and in 1920 she concluded with
France a military agreement
purely for defensive purposes and
in case of new, unprovoked ag-
gression on the part OF Germany.
She keeps her army down to
level that is strictly consistent
with the requirements of her
national security, and she could
not possibly proceed to a further
reduction of her armament. And
yet there is perhaps no state that
is more sincerely peace loving.
We have no hatred whatever, and
we do not want to see that war
which has inflicted such painful
sufferings upon us.
If | may refer to the words
which King Albert of the Belgians
in his message to President Har-
ding used. I will say that the
Belgian nation calls with her
earnest wishes for the moment
when the general situation will
allow us to enter upon the path
Of the limitation of arrnaments.
She admires the initiative taken
by the Government of the United
States and wishes every success
to the conference fof the greater
benefit of the Who'll world.

Of the war. The problem is not a
simple one. 1t must be considered
as a whole. 1t is a serious and ur-
gent problem, for which a solution
at no far distant day is necessary.
Gentlemen, l trust l have said
all that is necessary to explain the
Italian point of view. The United
States, in calling this conference,
has taken a great and noble initia-
tive, with the aim Of creating
sound guarantees for the safe
guarding of the peace Of the world.
In conclusion, may I express
the desire and the hope that the
conference, while taking into ac-
count the present difficulties,
should give attention also to the
problem of the limitation of land
armaments, the solution of which
is an essential condition for pro-
noting throughout the world that
atmosphere of peace which Mr..
BRAND has SO clearly explained
and without which it would be
hopeless to anticipate that the eco
nomic and social reconstruction of
the nations which may have suf-
fered most severely during and
after the war may be fulfilled.

ISOLATION FOR THE DEFENDERS OF LIBERTY DECLARES HtGE

who have fought with her on the
same battlefield. The true condi-
tion of a moral disarmament in
GERMANY mean to say am re-
ferring to these noXious elements
of which / have already spoken
the true condition at this time OF
disarmament in Germany lies in
the fact that it should be known
over there that France is not alone
and then l feel quite sure that the
poisonous propaganda of which |
have spoken will simply run up
dead against the wall; that it will
not be able to go through, and that
nobody anywhere will believe in it,
II those that still harbor evil
designs know that, and if those
that entertain happy ideas of
peace-this working class that
want to return to a normal state
of peace--if it is known in Ger
many that France is not morally
alone, peace will come back much
quicker; and the words Of anger,
the words of revenge, will be SIM
ply preached in the wilderness. II
will be impossible for Germany to
reconstruct a defensive army, and
she will be able to install demo-
cratic institutions. and then we
can all hope for final conditions of
peace. Everything that France
can do in this direction she will do.
In fact, she has already done
The New York herald., 1921-11-22

much. She did not hesitate TO open
conversations with the German
Government in order to settle this
painful question of reparation for
the devastated regions. Everything
has been done and will be done in
order TO restore normal conditions.
and the hour will come when every
thing will be settled, but the hour
has not yet come.
If by direction given the labors
of the conference ii were possible
somewhere over there in Europe
If it were possible to say that the
outcome of this conference is In
direct blame and opprobrium cast
upon France-if it were possible
to point out France as the only
country in the world that is still
imperialistic, as the only country
that OPPOSES final disarmament,
then, gentlemen, indeed this con-
ference would have dealt US a Sc
we're blow. But | am quite sure
that nothing is fv7r..5z3- s.S>-n your
minds and from your intentions.
If after listening to this argu-
ment, after weighing the reasons
which you have just heard, you
consider it then as valid, then, gen.
tlemen, you will still be with Us
and you will agree with US in say
ing that France cannot possibly
do anything but what she has ac-
tually done.
The New York herald., 1921-11-22

sential at this time, in order that
we may achieve the great ideal, is
the will to peace. And there can
be no hope of a will to peace until
institutions of liberty and justice
are secure among all peace loving
people.
May I say, in response to word
which challenged us all as 1t was
uttered by NJ. BRAND, that there is
no more isolation for the defenders
of liberty and justice. We under
stand the difficulties; what has
been said will be read throughout
this broad land by a people that
desires to understand. The essen
tial condition of progress toward
a mutual understanding and n
maintenance of the peace Of the
world Is that we should know ex-
actly the difficulties which each
nation has to consider. that we
should be able justly to approach
them, that we should have the
most candid and ccrs plete state
ment of all that IL involved in
them, and then. with that full ap-
probation of the apprehensions' OF
the dangers of all that may create
obstacles in the path of the policy
that we are most anxious to pur-
sue, we should then plan to meet
the case to the utmost practical
extent: and thus the will to peace
may have effective expression.
We cannot go into a statement
of detail now. Apparently the
conference is so organized that
this matter may have an appro-
pirate place IN our discussion. We
cannot foresee at the moment
what practical measures may be
available, but the expressions that
we have heard from the represen-
tatives of the Powers engaged in
this conference make us confident
that here viii be generated that
disposition which is essential to
national security, the final assur-
ance of security which armies and
officers and men and material can
never supply, that is, the disposi-
ton OF a world conscious OF its
mutual interests Of their depend
ence and upon the fact that II
they desire, most ardently and
wholly desire 1t, peace will be en-
during among our people.
Is 1t the desire of the delegates
that the matters suggested by the
addresses that have been made
and the subject itself Of land arma-
ment should now be committed
for the confederation of the com
mittee on armament, consisting of
the plenipotentiary delegates OF
the five Powers? Assent is mani
tested and 1t will be so ordered.
Is Is now in accordance with
your wish that we should adjourn
subject to the call Of the chair?
Adjourned.

material disarmament is going to be
built.
That is why we are hopeful about
the naval question. And why are
we less hopeful about at least any
immediate settlement of the mill
tary question? 1t is because, as NJ.
BRAND has explained to you, in that
case there has not been moral dis
armament, because we have no as
surance, or because the French Gov
ernment, who watch these things
closely, have no assurance either in
Russia or in Germany, that moral
disarmament has made the degree
of progress which would make ma
terial disarmament an immediate
possibility.
| do not venture to offer an opin-
ion of my own upon this question
/ leave you tc judge of the facts, as
they have been expounded by one
who has profoundly studied them
and whose gifts of exposition cannot
be excelled.
Only this I would say, for I need
hardly tell you that l am not going
to make a speech. M. BRAND ap-
pears to have some fears lest France
should feel herself In moral isola-
ton. That would be tragedy, in
deed.
That the liberties of Europe and
the world in general, and of France
in particular, should be maintained
and guarded against the dominating
policy of her eastern neighbor, is
the cause for which the British En-
pire fought and in which the British
still believe.
Killed on the field OF battle, we
lost nearly a million men. I am
talking of the British Empire now.
We lost nearly million men. We
lost well over two million men in
addition, manned and wounded.
We grieve over the sacrifice; we
do not repent it. And if the cause
Of international liberty was worthy of
this immense sacrifice from one of
the allied Powers-I speak not of
others-it is not my right to speak
for them-if it deserved and re-
quired this sacrifice from one of
the Allied and Associated Powers,
and If we at all events have not
changed our views, either as to the
righteousness of the war or as to it's
necessity, how can it be otherwise
than if a similar necessity should
again arise, if again the lust of dom
ination, which has been the curse Of
Europe for so many generations,
should again threaten the peace, the
independence, the self-development
of our neighbors and allies, how
should It DE possible that the SYM
pathies, once so warm, should be-
come refrigerated, should become
cold, and that we who had done so
much for the great cause of inter-
national liberty should see that cause
perish before our eyes rather than
make further sacrifices in its de-
fence.
Those are the thoughts which rise
in my mind after hearing the great
speech of M. BRAND. I should only
be interfering, / should only be
weakening it's effect were 1 to dwell
further upon them, and / will con-
tent myself, therefore, with thank
ing M. BRAND for the admirable and
candid account which he has given
Of the policy of his country, and
wishing him and his country every
success and every prosperity in that
path of unaggressive prosperity
which l hope and believe they are
now entering.
The New York herald., 1921-11-22

/ be allowed TO express the wish
and the hope that the general
limitation of land armament may
become a reality within the short
est possible space of time. Italy
has fought the war for the highest
aims which country can seek,
but Italy Is in her soul a peace
loving nation. l shall not repeat
what I had the honor to state at
the first meeting of the confer
ence, but / should like to en-
phasize again that Italy Is one Of
the surest factors of the worlds
peace; that she has no reason
whatsoever of conflict with any
other country; that she is follow
ing and putting constantly into
action n policy inspired by the
principle of maintaining peace
among all nations.
Italy has succeeded in coming to
a direct understanding with the
Serb, Croat and Slovene peoples,
and in order to attain such an end
has made considerable sacrifices
for the interest of the peace of
Europe. Italy has pursued toward
the successor countries to her
fc-.ner enemies a policy not only
of pacification but of assistance.
And when conflict arose between
Austria and Hungary, n conflict
which might have dragged into
war the Danubian peoples, has
offered to the two countries in
conflict her friendly help in order
to settle the dispute. Italy has
succeeded, and in SO doing has
actively contributed to the peace
Of Europe.
Moreover, Italy has acted SIM
ilarly within her own frontiers and

Japan Ready to Approve Principle;
Sees Difficulty in Finding a Basis

Baron Kato. for Japan, said:
1t is needless for me to assure Mr..
BRAND that Japan has nothing but
a most profound sympathy for her
peculiarly difficult position which
has been so clearly and SO eloquent
" presented to us this morning.
May I venture also to add Japan's
appreciation Of and sympathies for
the great sacrifices in men and
wealth made by France, the British
Empire. Italy and the United States
In the great war for the cause of
peace, justice and harmony?
would like to say this morning
Just a few words on land armament
limitation. Japan is quite ready to
announce her hearty approval Of the
principle which aims to relieve a
people of heavy burdens by limiting
land ornaments to those which are
The New York herald., 1921-11-22

necessary for national security and
the maintenance of order within the
territory.
The size If the land armaments of
each State should be determined by
its peculiar geographical situation
and other circumstances, and these
basic factors are so divergent and
complicated that an effort to draw
final comparisons is hardly possible.
If / may venture to say it, it is not
an easy task TO lay down a general
scheme for the limitation of land
armaments, as in the case of limi-
tation of naval armaments. Never
theless Japan has not the slightest
intention of maintaining land arma-
ments which are in excess of these
which are absolutely necessary for
purely defensive purposes, necessi-
tated by the Far Eastern situation.
