the Chinese agreement might otherwise
have been lacerated. 1t is by no means
certain that some of the principal
Pacific Powers may not, in the atmos-
phere of good will that pervades the
conference, find themselves able to take
an even more generous view of the re-
quirements Of the Chinese situation than
they might have been justified In taking
a few weeks ago. They may perceive
that when the conference has done its
best-and 1t will be a good best-the
question what is China?" cannot in the
long run be answered satisfactorily save
through policy helprully constructive
as regards China herself, and aiming
conscientiously at the promotion through
out the world by means of organized
and sustained publicity of an intelligent
interest in and comprehension of Chinese
rights and necessities.
This consideration applies with espe-
cial force to the British Government and
the British Empire. Before 1t ends the.
conference will have removed many
causes of misunderstanding between the
two chief branches of the English speak
ing world. 1t depends upon the fore
sight and the insight of people and
statesmen at home whether the Amer
lean nation will gradually be convinced
that British policy is in daily practice
as honest, as big hearted and as deter
minedly peaceful as the British delega-
ton to the conference have shown 1t
to be.

BORAH CRITICISES

against its manufacture or its building.
at is said IL Is the defence of small
nations. What security could any small
nation enjoy from the number of subma-
rines which II could construct as against
the naval power or the capacity to build
submarines of the four great naval
nations here assembled? What possible
security could a small nation enjoy either
in the number which they could build or
the manner in which they could make
use of them as against the great naval
Powers now assembled in this city. 1t
Is not In my judgment the interest OF
small nations. 1t is because they are
not quite willing to rest their faith in
the cause of disarmament to the extent
OF embarrassing themselves to any con-
siderable extent at all in case the next
war comes"
Senator Borah assaiIed the treaty be-
cause he argued IL was nothing less
than n military and naval alliance unless
the conference produced a reduction
agreement far Beyond the 5-5-3 pro-
gramme.
Senator Pondexter cav no similarity
between Article III. OF the four Power
treaty and Article X. OF the league

Article X. OF the league covenant, al
though 1t covered less territory Sem
ator Stanley (ky.) took the position that
the treaty constituted an attempt to
revive the old doctrine of the balance
of power. Senator Reed (Mo.) con-
tended that Il placed the United States
under the strict obligation to defend
British and Japanese possessions from
aggression.
Senator Poindexter vigorously denied
that the four Power compact imposed
amy new obligation"
"The Senator's argument is that the
treaty amounts 10 nothing" said Senator
Borah.
"Oh. yes. it amounts to something"
answered Senator Poindexter. For In
stance. If the Philippines were assailed
the British and French would use their
good offices to protect them. But there
is nothing In the treaty that deprives
any party to It of freedom of action.
There Is not n word in the lnstru-
ment that would give any one any
power to do anything beyond what is
provided for In the Constitution end
with the authority OF Congress-" de-
clared Senator Poindexter.
mo one would have any more power
under Article III. than he has now"
contended Senator Poindexter. 'Tt only
puts into written form that which hu-
manity and decency would require us
TO do anyhow"
"In other words" said Senator Borah
sarcastically. "it means nothing. That
Is one of the arguments we used TO hear
about the League OF Nations covenant.

Big THREE EXPEDITE
NAVAL AGREEMENT

was that the messages from Toxic ap-
proved Japanese acceptance of the
5-5-3 capital ship ratio, and that this
position has been communicated TO the
American and British delegates.
Admiral kato. although he possessed
full powers to act for Japan, had hesi-
tated about binding his country to such
a drastic programme OF naval curtail-
ment without first attempting to win the
approval OF all possible factions In
Toxic.
1t had been Secretary Hughes's opin-
ion that the three chief naval Powers
the United States, Great Britain and
Japan, should settle between themselves
the ratio of their navies, which would
serve as n basis for n consideration of
the size of the navies of France and
Italy
With these nations agreed on the
'5-53 ratio, therefore. it Is possible for
the French and Italian percentage to
be considered. Both these nations, II is
known. are thinking of capital ship
allowance equal to that of Japan. which
would set the figures at 5-5-3-3-3, but
whether that will be acceptable to the
American, British and Japanese delega-
tions.is not entirely clear.
There Will be opposition to granting
such a tonnage TO France or Italy, upou
the ground that such a ratio would mean
In fact, an increase In the tonnage of
these nations. while the 5-5-3 ratio for
the United States, Great Britain and
Japan means a reduction in their naval
arInaments

At the first opportunity members of
the British delegation in an open ses-
sion Of the conference will make as
strong an appeal as they can for aboli-
ton OF the submarine as a weapon of
warfare. Their appeal will not be made
in the hope that the submarine ques-
ton will be considered at a later con-
ference, but in the hope that they may,
at the last moment, succeed in having
the outlaws of the sea forever abol-
ished before the present conference
comes to an end.
The British made It plain to-day that
they do not consider the question of
submarines bound up in the technical
phases of a naval programme. They
consider 1t a matter of principle and

bers of womens organizations protests
against the use in war of submarines
and poison gases. The meeting was
held at the headquarters of the Ma
tional Council for Limitation of Arma
ments.
The argument the British will present
to the conference against submarines Is
based on the thought that the use of
submarine depends upon the con-
science Of the man commanding her
and that. therefore, the submarine may
too readily be turned into weapon of
abuse. They will point out that the
submarines greatest success In the
world war was against merchant ships
and not against battleships
The point that the submarine is a
protection for the weaker nations viii
