LONDON Nov. 24-One of the most out-spoken warnings addressed by the foreign minister of one nation to another friendly nation was deliv- cred today by Marquis Curzon of Kledston to France. The British for eign minister declared if France pur- sued an isolated and individual policy she would not in the long run injure Germany and would fail to protect herself.
 The address was directed primarily to the Washington conference, but 1t was clearly an intimation to France to the effect of that country's attitude toward disarmament.
 It also applied with equal force to the French policy in the near east. Peace will never be achieved" he said, If any one power tries to steal a march on another and conclude an arrangement on its own account"
 He reminded France that her safe ty lay in the confidence of the world.
 He cautioned France that she could not succeed by a revengeful policy toward Germany or be permitted by isolated action to frustrate the work at Washington.
 The speech vas remarkable for the expressed determination to bring Germany into the comity of nations and for its enunciation of Great Bri- ta:n's duty in the new world which succeeded the war.
 Alluding to the new struggling na- tions he said:
 We are largely responsible for the creation of these new nations. Therefore, it devolves on us to do our best to curb their rivalry, help thnir and ma sfI ments of future peace"

It fell to the lot of the sec retary of state of America to give the lead. and 1t fell to the lot of our representative, MT. Balfour. to follow.
 "All honor to these two men, but do not suppose the matter is ended there. A great deal of spade work remains. It is DO use reducing armaments at sea il We are still to contemplate the piling up or accumulation of vast armaments on land.
 An ole must not be set by one nation, or even by two or three. It must be followed in proportion to their position and their ability by all. It is not for Great Britain to accept or submit to sacrifices while others pass them by.
 Another condition Is that if we who are the greatest naval power, whose sea communications are the longest, who have to defend coasts infinitely longer and more exposed than any other empire, who are de- pendent fo1 our daily existence as a nation in the command of the sea if we are willing to reduce our naval strength, let not other powers be aI- lowed to build up other engines or Instruments of attack, either in the air or under the sea, which may rem der our sacrifices nugatory and which, so far from leaving us in the proud position of having set an ex- ample may leave us in the perilous position of having incurred an undue risk
 At another point in his speech Lord Curzon, referring to the con- ference, spoke of the joy which was felt over the events there but said he was not going to utter any pre- mature hosannas. He cited the great
