FRENCH LIKE PLAN.

Paris, Nov. 14-Dispatches outlin-
ing the developments at the opening
of the armament conference in Wash
ington take first place in all the Paris
newspapers.
President Harding's high idealism,
as evidenced in his opening address, is
termed by the Petit Parisien "a
ray of sunlight coming to rekindle the
heart of our people, SO greatly touched
by the war;"
The Journal Des DebatS says the
Hughes plan involves the abrogation
of the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
The Journal, while approving the
American proposals set forth by Mr..
Hughes, says the problem confronting
the conference in this respect is the
attitude to be taken by Japan.
The Washington conference COM
menced with "a dramatic surprise"
says the Temps, which calls Mr..
Hughes plan ''at the same time def
mite and grand"

which no hurried judgments are pos
sible, but we may be sure the Ameri-
can and British people will appreciate
the courage of the statesmen who have
laid down such a proposition
The Morning Post in an editorial
says: Effects and armies are but in
struments of warfare Neither France,
America, nor Great Britain desires to
spend one penny more than the sum
requisite to secure that justice and
those rights to which President Har-
ding referred"
The Daily Chronicles editorial says
1.-THE world is in debt to the United
States for its broad humanity and in
cisive vigor. 1t is our English way to
turn over critically all proposals af-
fecting the strength of our navy, but
it should be at once said that, apart
from certain reservations on account
of the vastness of the sea area which
we PATROL the American proposals
strike us as being quite fair to our
selves"

WANT TO DEBATE NEWBERRY
democratic Senators Will Question
Right of Michigan Man to
Take Seat.

washington, Nov. 15.-The desire Of
many Democratic senators to debate
the right Of Truman H. Newberry to
sit as senator from Michigan may
ispoil the plans of Republican leaders
70 make him holiday gift of title TO
the seat. 1t is extremely probable
that the vote will be put over until
the next session.
Senator Pomerene, Democrat, who
has taken a leading part in pushing the
Ford Newberry contest, served notice
in the senate that there will be con-
siderable discussion of the recon-
,,nendation by the majority of the
privileges and elections committee in
favor of seating Newberry. He said
tho Democrats do not propose to cast
choir votes on the matter until it has
boon fully discussed. Senator Walsh,
ssDemocrat. of Montana, echoed this
statement saying the Republicans
would find it impossible TO force the
matter to a vote without long debate.

American Editorial Views.

Following are American editorial
comments made on Secretary Hughes
proposals for the limitation Of arma-
mentS:
Philadelphia Public Ledger-The pro-
posals strike straight and clean home
to the heart of the world. AT one stroke
America has cut the ground from I'M
der the feet of those who would ma
neuver, hesitate and delay.
Buffalo Express-The United States
is saying, in effect, to its only rivals
for sea power: Eve will stop this COM
petition for naval armament if you
will, we will sacrifice if you will, and
we will sacrifice more than we ask you
to give up" Will they? How can they
refuse?
Detroit Free Press-If well begun is
half done, then the world has the right
to hope for great things.
Providence Journal - The sacrifice
will be more apparent than real. The
relative naval strength of the powers
is to remain practically as 1T is. NO
country will be more exposed to IN
yasion or conquest or more efficient In
offense by reason of the plan.
Boston HeraId-Mr. Hughes address
is simply business, straight, speci1c,
definite. The peoples of the world are
waiting upon Washington with anxious
hearts.
Syracuse Post Standard - Secretary
Hughes proposes plan for disarma'
ment so precise that it leaves little to
be said but amen" and little to be
done but sign on the dotted line.
Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune - Ii
the spirit of the conference is the
spirit of President Harding's address
above the new tomb of Americas COM
posite soldier dead the affairs OF the
nations are possible of adjustment IN
peace for peace. 1t is today the spirit
of America.
Cleveland Plain DeaIer-The calling
of the conference and its manner or
beginning has meaning infinitely
great, not only to America but to all
the war-weary men and women OF all
civilized nations.
