NATION NOT TO
DISARM UNLESS
SAFE GUARDED
Will demand Guarantee Of
Protection Against
Germany

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. s.-United States
Senator G.. NJ. Hitchcock. Democrat
of Nebraska. told 5000 University of
Nebraska students gathered to ap-
prove the coming disarmament con-
ference that the conferees will find
two great obstacles to disarmament,
one presented by France and the other
by Japan. France, said the senator
with her great army of S00,000 will
object to military disarmament unless
and until she can be assured by other
nations of protection from Germany
In case she disarms.
The question is whether the other
nations will be able to give France
such guarantee to protection as will
induce her to agree on military dis
armament. Very few people arc so
sanguine to believe that this will be
possible. as 1t follows therefore that
there is not such hope at the present
disarmament will be reached at this
conference.
Had the United States Joined tho
league of nations" he said 'it and
other members of the league. would be
committed to pledge OF protection OF
France against external aggression
and France would have no excuse or
much less excuse for maintaining her
enormous army"
Turning to naval disarmament he
said an entirely different situation
was found.
Upon the broad expanse OF the Pa
cific." said the senator "is to be
fought out the great tournament be-
tween occidental and oriental civili-
zation. Whether this tournament is to
be one OF war and bloodshed or wheth-
er 1t is to be one of trade and COM
merce may depend somewhat upon the
results reached at the approaching
conference. Indications are that Jap
an will consent to disarmament pro-
viding an agreement can be made by
the terms OF which she will be guar
anteed what she considers to be her
special rights and interests on the
Asiatic coast.
