FOREMANT TALKS
T0U. OF |. MEN
Tells Them Most Necessary Thing
for America is Development
of National Feeling.

Urbana, Ill, Nov. 11.-No dis
armament plans which are decided
upon by the Washington conference
can be successful which do not
take into consideration the neces-
sites of each nation, Major Gener-
al Milton J. Foreman told students
at the University of Illinois in an
ArmistiCe day cOnvocation here.
He said that the most necessary
thing at the present time was the
development of national feeling and
set forth the way in which the
United States now stands pre-emi-
nent above other nations, with its
consequent problems.
We stand today. economically
speaking. the strongest nation in
the world he said. In resources
we excite world envy. We pro-
duce and possess raw materials in
quantities which no other nation
can hope to rival. For this reason
other nations envy US. They know
that we are not a militaristic ma
ton; that we are not aggressive;
that We have never struck unless
We were struck first. Therefore
they are not fearful of our arms,
but of our trade We are rapidly
finding ourselves forced into the
position in that regard which was
held by Germany"

DISASTER IF
ARMS MEET
FAILS: GREY
Briton Says Diplomacy
Not Cause. but Result,
of Troubles.

London. Nov. 11.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. s.)-Failure by the
Washington armament conference
to attain the ends for which it was
summoned would be a great disas-
ter. Viscount Grey declares in an
article contributed to the Westmin-
ster Gazette
Recalling that it has been said
that the delegates to the confer
ence should leave the old diploma
cy behind them in Europe, the for
mer foreign minister asks whether
the old diplomacy was the cause OF
troubles, or whether it was rather
the result of troubles.
Secret Treaties Not Part.
The secret treaties which were
often declared to be the evil OF the
old diplomacy, were not, he main
tanned, necessary in any part OF
that system. He does not remem-
ber making or sharing in the max
ing of any secret treaty prior to
the World war, although several
we're made during the war, and
these, like poison gas, were not
the inevitable accomplishments of
diplomacy, but of war. He does
not think the old diplomacy had
any diseases peculiar to itself, but
adds:
Candor Lacking.
Want of candor, protesting to
desire one object while really pur-
suing another. processing to be in
spired by an altruistic motive while
prompted by a selfish one. hyper
trophy of the sense of separate in
terest and atrophy Of the sense of
common interest-all these. though
not universal. were often dominant
in the old diplomacy, and wrecked
or paralyzed conferences and con-
certs of powers"
