Another discussion OF world naval
disarmament before the Senate foreign

is expected within a few days.
The entire session of the committee
today was taken mp with the presenta-
tion of arguments by Senator Walsh
democrat Montana, in favor of his
resolution requesting the President to
send al American representative to sit
with the general disarmament commits
sion of the league of nations, and the
Borah resolution. proposing indepehd-
ent negotiations with Great Britain and
Japan, was not taken up.
The committee met in executive ses-
sion. Senator Walsh was understood.
to have taken the position the mill
tary and naval disarmament must be
accomplished together. He argued
that it was not feasible, as proposed
by Senator Borah, to deal solely with
naval disarmament
Senator Walsh also was said TO have
argued that the contention that par
ticipation of an American representa-
tive in the league of nations dis2rmc-
ment proceedings would involve
America in the leagues affairs was
not sound.
On this point Senator Borah said
that if America WAS to enter the
league, he wanted it done by the
front door and not the back"

the committee. and nal action Is ex-
