SENATOR BoRAH URGES OPEN CONFERENCE ON DISARMAMENT

Asbury Park. \. J.. Aug. 2s.-Senator Borah of Idaho urged an audience here tonight 10 help get a little more de- mocrscy in foreign affairs" Although one of the foremost advocates of arm ament limitation, he predicted that the coming conference on armament would be a complste failure unless public opin- Ion unmistaAably demanded reduction of navies and armies.
 ''Pry open the doors of the confer ence" declared Senator Borah. Let the sunlight of publicity beat in upon the dark and secret places. Let us kwnow what's going on before it has been con cluded in order that public oninion may have its HoldinE and direct effect Above all. let responsibility be fixed and then let public opinion lash from power those Eho betray the cause.
 'pisarmament will be but a delu- sion. fraad veneered with tepid pur- poses and false promises unless there is found demanding it and supporting n what amounts to a moral and social revolution. II will come only at the command of the people. united and de- ternined. persistent and untirinE.
 Tt Is your fight. That confer. ence will accomplish nothing of real and substantial vortt except it be direct ed and dominated by the commanding voice. . Let u- not give up hope Let us rather se a people resolve htzr the conference shall not fail that our hearts and hopes and prayers will brace and direct. yes, command. the men who have this fearful responsibility resting upon them"
 Old fashioned diplomacy brought on the war with Teutonic power. he said. "snd the same system of secret nezo- tions is relied upon to solve the prob lens which confront us"
 And already the system is bearing fruit,D he added England and France have travelled far apart in the last three years how far one hardly dares to estimate. Public officials in the United States and the fiet of Japan sn- nounce to their peoples that great nav les are necessary becsus of the treach- cry of the other nstioP- You know. and know. and every man who can and cares to think. knows trat under this program we are headed for bankruptcy. or war. or both.
 Who ean stop this trend of affairs; Nobody can stop 1t but you-the people of this country. the people of Greai Britain and of Japan. the people as dis tinct as from governments"
