FURTHER REDUCTIONS BY
BELGIUM IMPOSSIBLE

Baron De Cartier spoke as follows:
Mr.. President, being still under'
the spell of the thrilling and convinc-
ing speech delivered by NJ. BRAND, 1
would just like to state briefly the
point of view of Belgium on the uues-
ton of limitation of land ornaments.
Belgium trusting in the undertake
ing given by the powers that guar
anteed her neutrality. remained for
three quarters of a century faithful
to a. policy of peace and limitation
of ornaments. The tragical events
of 1914 were for her terrible
awakener. While she was aspiring
to nothing but peace, while she was
only anxious to accomplish her du-
ties as neutral state. war was car
ried on her own territory by the two
powers that had not only taken the
engagement with respect to neutral
ity but to see that the neutrality
should be respected.
Devastation, fire, wanton devasta-
ton eff her industries, numbering and
wounding of her inhabitants, de-
portation of civilian population,
heavy losses in her armier were the
reward of her peaceful policy and Of
the fulfillment of her International
obligations.

end to this regime, which events had

France could not put down her
arms under present circumstances. de-
clared Premier BRAND. because of
conditions closely touching her ma
tionai integrity. He said that be-
cause OF conditions of instability that
France must measure them with ref
erence to the consequences on her
own security.
America, said NJ. BRAND must see
France through unclouded glories be-
fore 1t could appraise the situation in
its true light. The picture presented
by Europe after the victory was hard
to visualize, he added.
Critics had said, the premier con-
tfnued, that France sought military
ascendancy in Europe but he asserted
the imputation was only a cruel re-
proach, and Immediately coming after
her record in the war.
Everyone who knows France, he
continued, knows the untruth of the
accusation. He asserted that IL ever
there was a country committed to
peace, 1t was France. But, he added
since the war his country has gone
through many receptions and had
seen Germany refuse her obi cations.
Foe OF No Nation
Asserting with all his power that
France was the foe of no nation. M.
BRAND said his government wanted
continued and real peace with Ger
many. In Germany, he said, there
were numerous people who want sin
cerely a peace founded on democratic
institutions and he declared 1t was
that sort of a Germany to which the
world must look for hope.
But, he asked how could France
ignore the other Germany of tho
HOhanzollerns? The old imperi a
party, he declared, had tried repeat
edly to regain control.
AS an example, NJ. BRAND read sew
eral pages from the memoirs of Lu-
dendorff. regarding Germany's as
pirations for world conquest. Among
these citations was Ludendorff's
declaration that the institution of
war was creation OF God.

script dramatically upon the table. NJ.
BRAND declared 1t should convince
the world what was being said at tho
door of France.

OPENING ADDRESS
OF SECRETARY HUGHES

session. said;
TT 10 q pleasure to be able to
state that gratifying progress has
been made In tho work of the con-
ference. The proposals of the Ameri-
can government with respect to the
limitation of naval armament have
been under consideration by the
COMMITTEES OF the pienipotentiary del
egates of the five powers, and, aid
ed by . subcommittee of naval ex-
perts. that matter IL progressing IA
vorably. You will recall the appoint
ment of q committee consisting of
tho plenipotentiary delegates of the
nine powers to consider questions
relating to the Pacific and far east
In the course of the deliberations Of
that committee most important dec
larations have been made on behalf
of the represented countries, and
while there is nothing at the moment
to report to the plenary session with
respect to either of these topics,
think am justified in saying that
our expectations with respect to the
expedition and thoroughness of our
consideration of these matters have
already been more than realized
