LEI DISARMAMENT
 BEGIN WITH NAVY,
 IS PLEA OF bORAH
House Proposals to Broaden Amendment Would Kill the Movement, Declares Au-
 thor of Amendment
By Associated Press

Washington, June 3.-House pro- posa1s to broaden the Borah naval dis armament amendment in the naval ap- propriation bill would kill" the naval disarmament movement, Senator Borah republican. Idaho, declared tonight in 8 statement attacking the suggestion of House leaders.
 eff we are sincerely going forward with the question of disarmament" said Senator Borah, "and sincerely de- sirous of curtailing expenditures and reducing the chances of war, we will start where we can start and make progress. and that is with the naval powers which are now in actual naval building competition"
 Tt is inexpedient at this time to ne- gotiate for reduction of armies" Sem ator Borah declared.
 Would Kill Whole Plan
 ''It seems to me- he said, if those who are suggesting that the disarma- ment amendment be broadened to in- clude land forces as well as naval forces will reflect upon the situation
 
 readily conclude that to thus broaden the amendment Is to kill the whole amendment. It is impossible to mako any headway at all in the way of land disarmament at present in Europe.
 'AS the meeting of the Geneva as sembly. France stated plainly and can didly that she would not consider the question of disarmament at this time and she refused to even vote for the principle of disarmament. She gave as her reason that her situation was such that she would not and could not take such action now. Six other nations followed her. To include land dis armament, therefore, is to kill the matter outright.
 Situation Different
 with reference to naval disarma- ment, the situation is entirely differ- ent. The three nations which now are actually engaged in a naval race are the United States. Great Britain and Jaapn. The French navy is 8 third-class navy, so recognized, and they are doing practically nothing toward bringing it up to date. The Italian navy is in like condition.
 But Japan and the United States and Great Britain are expending mill lions. even billions, in building navics and they are the only three powers which bid fair to enter into competis ton for the next 25 or 50 years. So 'rgai as land disarmament is concerned, it does not make any difference to the United States as a matter of security, how many troops France has. The House has very wisely limited our army to 150,000 men. France has an army of S00,0
 Senator Borah said he favored gen. eral disarmament but believed the na- val disarmament now was the only practicable matter for consideration.
