for the relief of the world from the great burden of military preparedness.
 It is at once apparent from a mere glance at the plan for discontinuance of construc- ton and the scrapping of ships already con structed or under construction, that President Harding proposes for the United States a program of reduction of armament far more drastic than that which he suggests for other leading nations. This in itself is the most tangible and substantial evidence of our good faith. It is manifestation not only of our confidence in the practicability of maintaining national safety without continuing our com petition in armament but it is an expression of confidence that all of the other nations have come to the conference inspired by the same desire that we entertain for limitation of armaments and reduction of military eXpcnd- iturcs The United States offers to meet the other nations more than half way in full con fidence that they will receive our advances in the brotherly spirit in which they are of fcred
 One of the admirable features of the Amer ican prosopals is that they are definite and certain. Being specific as to what if is pro posed each nation shall do, a basis is formed for immediate discussion by all the powers interested This will immensely hasten the proceedings and afford an opportunity for intelligent discussion in each of the countries interested as well as in the councils of the delegations at Washington.
 To use a common expression, "Tho cards are on the table" It is the nearest approach to "orcn diplomacy' the world has ever ~r"n It undoubtedly marks the beginning of a new cr9 in international relationships when uttcr franknpss will be universally observed and international interests will be openly consid cred with the full knowledge of the people to he affected thereby.
 Previous to the conference there was a feel ing that probably not much would be accom- pliyhcd on limitation of armaments This feeling is very materially dispelled by the pro- posals the American delegation has submitted and by the cordial manner in which those proposals have been received.
