IS LINCOLN. Neb.,, November 10. -
United States Senator G. NJ. Hitchcock,
democrat, Of Nebraska, told 5000 Uni
vers:.y Of Nebraska students gathered
to ar; .Sve the Washington armament
conf .,epce, that the conferees will flnd
two great obstacles to disarSa2ment-
orc presented by France and the
oti. er by Japan.
France" said the senator. with her
great army OF 100000 men. will object
until, she can be assured by other ma
ttens of protection from Germany in
case che disarms. The ques-
ton Is whether the other nations will
be able to give France such guarantee
Of protection as will induce her to
agree upon military disarmament.
Very few people are so sanguine as
to believe that this will be possible,
and it follows. therefore. that there is.
not much hope at the present time that
an agreement for military disarmament
will be reached at this conference.
Pacific Big Question.
Had the United States Joined the
league Of nations" he said. 1t and
other members Of the league would
be committed to a pledge OF protec-
tton for France against external ag-
. ASSos0AAS diu "oulU nave no
excuse, or much less excuse, for
her enormous army"
Regarding naval disarmament, he
said. an entirely different situation
was found.
Upon the Pacific" he said, 'is to
pc fought out the great tournament
between occidental and oriental CIV,
ilization. Whether this tournament
Is to be one Of war and bloodshed or
whether it is to be one Of trade and
commerce may depend somewhat upon
the results reached at the approach
ing conference. - Indications
are that Japan win consent to dis
armament, providing an agreement
can be made by the terms Of which
she will be guaranteed what she con-
siders to be her special rights and
interest In TIE far east
After declaring that American
hopes were wrapped up in the con-
ference, the senator said he saw in it
q "re.entering the councils of ma
tfons. and an effort to play a part
In the rehabilitation Of the world"
Resolutions approving the confer
ence were adopted.

From every quarter felicitations
and good wishes continue to shower
upon the coming conference on lin
itation Of armaments and Pacific and
far eastern questions, forecasting the
opening of that epochal event In the
most auspicious circumstances and
with the hope Of the civilized world
centered upon the successful outcome
of its deliberations.
Pope Benedict, according to unof-
fetal advices, has given approval to
the purposes set for the conference,
and, it is said, might pronounce the
official sanction Of the holy see at
has prepared to maintain close con-
tact with the negotiations as they
develop.
In personal message delivered to
Secretary Hughes by the British AM
bassador. Premier Lloyd George, ex-
pressed regret at his inability to at.
tend the opening Of the armament
conference and declared that moth.
ing but the intensely delicate state
of the Irish negotiations and other
pending questions keeps him away.
Secretary Hughes expressed his ap-
probation of the prime minister's
message and said a reply would soon
be cabled.
Prenafer's Message.
The premier in his message said:
will you please express to Presf-
dent Harding my very keen regret and
disappointment at having been unable
to leave England In time to attend
the opening OF the Washington confer
ence.
"The discussion to which he has in
vited the powers whose representatives
assemble in Washington this week Is
Of profound importance to the whole
world. Nothing but the intensely DELI
cate state of the Irish negotiations
and the absolute obligation which /
feel to parliament and the country to
be present here until these negotiations
are completed and the governments
unemployment legislation Is in opera
ton would have prevented my sailing
last Saturday, as hoped to do. I
must discharge that obligation before
1 leave. but I will sail at the earliest
possible moment, and hope to be with
you before the conference reaches the
deciding stage Of its momentous work.
Britain's Heart for Success.
II need not assure you in the mean-
time that the heart Of Britain Is deep
ly set upon the success of the confer
ence.
THE world has needed such a lead
as President Harding gave us last July
for many anxious months. 1t was the
new worlds opportunity. To have
grasped it promtly, as President
Harding and his advisers did, will
prove a lasting credit to the clear-eyed
craftsmanship of the United States"

HARMONY WITH US.
Member of Opposition in
Toxic Parliament Would
Make "Pacific" Real.
By tie Associated Press.


NEW YORK, November 1o.-Kataro
Mochizuki, member of the Japanese
parliament, expressed the belief here
that among the results of the Wash
tngton conference should be unity
and complete understanding between
the United States and Japan. and
joint effort for the commercial devel-
opment of the far eastern countries
adjacent to Japan. Disarmament of
islands in the Pacific or at least no
further enlargement of existing ar
mament should also result, he as
serted. "
Mr.. Mochizuki said that he was here
to observe the progress of the con-
ference as special representative
Of the Kenseikai or exposition party
in present japanese politics. He
hoped also to help the people Of this
Japan by lectures and writings, he
said.
Uncertainty rs to America.
He declared the gradual develop
ment of warlike preparations by the
United States in recent years, in for
tification Of the islands of Hawaii
Philippines, Guam and the Aleutians
had aroused q feeling Of uncertainty
as to, Americas intentions These
armaments and displays of naval
force for the Pacific had forced SIM
liar defensive development on the
part OF Japan.
History teaches. ne declared, that
preparation, for. war leads to. actual
conflict, and expressed belief that
the Warrington conference can do
much toward stopping this develop
ment and bring about. what Japan
desires TO be- an assurance of perpet-
ual peace and understanding. g.
i, susxests Principles.
"In brief" he said, t..he settlement Of
the disarmament question solely turns
upon theA9incerity Of America Accord
Ing to circumstances, It may be neces-
sary for Japan, who IL not aware OF
the extent OF America'e sincerity as to
the questions to be submitted to the
Pacific conference. to put forward at
the outset of the conferen the prtn-
oiples OF racial equality and Of the
open door and equal opportunity.
Even II they may be turned down BY
. majority, it will be enough II she
the fundamental idea Of righteous
FReaB and humanity. u.
The Washington conference may
fall to fully achieve its end and be
|neoessarily convened q cond or even
q third time. But Japan will be will
ing to participate, in every CONFER
ence that may be called and en-
dSavor to promote the friendship Of
