 Senator Borah declared that If the people of the United States. Great Britain and Japan could voice their opinions. he felt confident they would speak for an agreement to reduce naval building.
 There are two ways to defeat dis armament" he declared. "One is to oppose it. Another is that adopted by others in public life who are willing to give lip service to disarmament, but conjure up all conceivable methods to secure delay"
 May Ask Probe of Program
 He said his other resolution, calling on the senate naval committee for an opinion as to whether the American naval building program could be sus- pended for six months until the value of capital ships should be determined was designed to develop "as definitely as can be known what will bring us an efficient navy"
 Many high naval officers, he said believe that capital ships have lost their value, becs use of the develop ment of submarines and aerial war fare. but were unable, he said, to state their real opinion.
 Notice was served by the senator that if the naval committee should not act on his resolution of inquiry he would introduce another resolution calling for thorough investigation oi the naval program.
