certainty existed tonight as to

by the House next week.
After an all day conference, Repub-
lican members oil the committee ad-
Journed to meet again tomorrow, and
1T was said by Chairman Porter that
the full committee might not be able
to assemble and formusate a report, as
1T had contemplated.

Mikado's Son Reminded
OF Promise To Disarm
British, Admiralty Head Voices
Conviction Japan Will Not
Forget Peace Is Supreme

MANCHESTER, England May 26 (By
The Associated Pross), Speaking at n
dinner here tonight in honor Of Grown
Prince Hirohito Of Japan, who was
visiting the ship canal, Lord Lee. First
Lord OF the Admiralty, referred TO the
statement in April OF tho Japanese
Minister of Marine declaring Japan's
Willingness to join in restricting arma-
ments. This WAS n inomentous utter
ancc, he said, which emphasized the
growing need Of all nations to-day;
namely, conference at which this
grave question could be discussed,
After declaring that all rejoiced at
the adoption by the United States Sen
ate Of Senator Borah's amendment to
the naval appropriations bill providing
for Il naval conference, Lord Lee said
that Japan had shown by the foregoing
statement that, though great in war,
she was greater still in appreciation of
tho need for world peace.
He was convinced that Japan never
would make tho mistake which brought
all militaristic powers ineXorably to
ruin, of forgetting that peace is the
worlds greatest interest

U. s. Asked to Restore Peace
BY Urging Germany to Disarm
Deputy Noblemaire Says America Can Lead Way to
Construction; France Wishes Germany Prosper

diers she is accused Of fostering mill
tarism. Her allies conclude that she
s embarkihg OH new Napoieohic ad-
ventures.
"That is why consider it most i'm
portant that tho United States take a
most determined stand on the question
Of Germany's disarmament. When
Germany's mi|itarist spirit is gone, the
French Gendarme will disappear from
her frontier and the way will be pre-
pared for Franco German economic co.
operation.
america wants Europe TO set her
house in order and get back to work.
American insistence upon Germany s
disarmament will do more than any
thing else to hasten that day.
"We hope to be able to sell guam
ttty of German reparation bonds in
the United States. We realize that
American business men will accept only
good paper. 1t is curious fact that
the attitude which the American gov
crnment takes toward the question of
German disarmament will have direct
effect on the value Of these bonds. =,
Wants Bonds Accepted
If Germany remains constant men
ace to European peace her paper will
never have any great value. If Ger
many, in the face Of French and Amer
lean determination, renounces her
military spirit of revenge it will be to
Frances interest that Germany be per-
mitted to work in peace in order that
her bonds, which are issued TO pay her
war bills, shall be accepted as sound
Investment in the worlds money
markets.
Frances economic interests thus
become linked with Germany's and the
way is paved for new cooperation be-
tween those two countries in matters
of transportation, in the exchange OF
raw materials and in the linking Of in
dustrial and financial services.
