DISARMAMENT HINT
First Sea Lord Scores Sena.
tors Big Navy, But Sees
Hope in President.

LONDON. March 17-IIord Lee of
Fareham, first lord of the admiralty.
declared today that his reference to
the United States in his discussion of
naval matters at a meeting of naval
architects here yesterday had not
been quoted correctly. What he real
ly said. he asserted, was:
I'VE see the naval committee of the
United States Senate laying down the
principle that America shall maintain
a Navy at least equal to that of any
other power. That is a claim to
equality which this country never has
accepted in the past and never would
accept save in connection with the
great English speaking nation which
Sprang from our loins and ever hold
ing a great place in our regard and
confidence. The difference between
our formula and Americas is too
slight to be made the subject of con-
troversy, still less of friction or hos
tility."
Ready Response to Hint.
He said the only question was who
would initiate the discussion of dis
armament. but on this point the Brit
iSh government would not stand on
ceremony. The government, he de-
titpIitu tIit IiHl Throw II OUT
by President Harding in his inaugural
address. and the suggestion would
meet with cordial and helpful re-
sponse here.
Il can only say" Baron Lee added,
that if an invitation comes from
Washington I am prepared to put
aside all other business in order to
take part in a. business than which
there can be nothing more pressing
in the affairs of this world"
Horse Sense Needed.
Baron Lee said he agreed with Mr..
DENLY, the American Secretary of the
Navy. that Great Britain and Amer
lea could control the seas.
But" he added. the question is
whether we have the right of direc-
tion with regard to our navies when
consulting each other. In that re-
spect ] think this government has a
clear record. In the present esti-
mates we have set an example of
reduction and taken risks and are
prepared to go far in a mutual agree
ment
1T is not enough to talk about
blood being thicker than water.
What We want is the plain horse
sense characteristic Of both coun-
tries. From my long knowledge of
America I have a profound belief in
the business of talking and appeal
ing to the square deal. I hold strong
ly that we are not engaged in a game
of bluff, but that we ought to lay
all our cards on the table,"
