 GREAT DANGER

 Is Bold on All Issues
(By Wm. Philip Simms)

Washington, Nov 2S.-Unless Sec retary of State Hughes comes out as boldly and as openly on Pacific and Far Eastern questions as he did on the scrapping of navies, the United States is in grave danger of losing the tremendous advantage gained at the outset of negotiations.
 Consideration of Far Eastern prob lens has been taken up in commit tee and fears are expressed that this means the secretary of state has no intention of making them powder for another bombshcll of the kind eX- ploded by him with such success al tho opening session,
 Those who understand the difficult ties In the way of an understanding In the Pacific are alarmed lest United States shortly find Itself at an un- meritcd but serious disadvantage.
 Needs Clever Handling
 Caught in the tidal wave of world wldo appreciation of Secretary Hughes grcnt bid for reduction of armament, the chDnces of un immo- dlate understanding with regard to the Pacific arc in peril, Only a clever handling of the situation can prevent them being tossed mp on the beach and left there high and dry,
 Yet upon this rather than upon armament rests the whole question of peace or war. Japan, Great Britain and America must agree cn the future of China and Asia, If the peace of the world Is to be made even fairly secure,
 Chinas fate must bo determlncdi the status of Japan In Shontung, Manchurla, Mongolia and Siberia must he agreed upon; decision must he reached with regard to the Anglo Japanese alllaucei the question Of Notifications in the Pacific, and a dozen other complex situations must be cleared otr the boards In d man. ner satisfactory to ut least three powers, before the conference begins to cmorge from the woods,

PARLEY REVIEW
British Historians Articles to
Appear Daily in The WASH

NEW YORK, Oct. 2s.-H. G. Wells
one of England's foremost publicists
whose articles on the disarmament
conference will appear in The Wash
ington Times by arrangement with
the New York World and Chicago
Tribune, arrived here yesterday on
the Adriatic. He will rest several
days at the home Of a friend here
before going to Washington.
Asked for comment on the arms
conference Wells made II plain he
isp not here as an Englishman. but
as a leader in the fight for a better
civilization, which rises above sec.
will write Of disarmament for hu.
manity.
Secret sessions would be a grave
mistake" he said. There would be
leaks and misinterpretation. II the
conference fails 1t will be a great dis.
aster. 1t seems to me they have
possibilities. IL the con-
ference peters out there must be some
other conference, because the nations
must get together to aid civilization.
Until they do that the degradation
that existed in 1914 win go on.
''I am confident. however, II will
not peter out.
"If the conference goes on Il Is
bound to develop into some sort of a
world control, not only of interna.
tional politics. but of financial, eco
nomic questions that will be handled
on a world basis.
Lack OF faith, indolence, egotism
and patriotic prepossession must be
overcome for the success of the con.
ference.
The world was in a state of ex.
traordinary hopefulness during the
great days OF Wilson. Then a phase
OF fatigue followed that was respon.
sible for most of the failures at Yer.
sailles. The world is in a better state
now. There are not the extravagant
hopes there were at the end of the
war; yet the world is hopeful-health.
lily hopeful.
There is another point, and a big
one, in the success of the conference.
A lot depends upon public opinion TO
back up the delegates"
Wells said he would be in Wash.
ington at least six weeks to see the
conference as thoroughly as he could.
"I will remain as long as II is
interesting" he explained.

the trip, the President indicated that
while he did not believe that the

reflection" will convince a large part
of the South that it must ultimately

suggested-politica1. educational, and
economic equality, and absolute di.

The President regards his speech as
a timely contribution to the general
