THE TIME IS RIPE

EX-AMBASSADOR WHITE, BEFORE

IN HIS VIEWS.

Great Burden Of Taxation Makes the
Peoples Of All Nations Anxious to
Reduce Their Armaments.

Washin gton.-Anot Of the Amer
lean commissioners who helped draft
the treaty Of Versaille s-Henry
White, ambassador to France under
President Roosevelt-told the house
naval committee that the time was
ripe for world disarmament and that
the United States should initiate the
movement.
General Pershing's views will be
sought. The committee already has
heard General Tasker III. Bliss, for
mer American representative ON the
supreme war council and a number of
the peace delegation; Secretary
Daniels, and Acting Secretary Davis,
of the state department.
Mr.. White gave it as his opinion
that the great burden, of taxation
resulting from the world war made
the peoples Of the nations anxious
to cut down ON expenditures for
ornaments. He expressed it that the
world was crying for some agree
ment" to limit ornaments as
means of reducing taxes.
Discussing the proposed naval
holiday" the former ambassador said
he did not think the United States
should stop the naval construction It
now has under way.
