NOT UP TO U. S.
Limitation of Arms Burden
Rests on Foreign Nations.
America Prepared for War or
Peace, Says Sen. King.
TEST SINCERITY OF THE PARLEY
Resolutions Ordering Army and
Navy Cuts Ready.
Time for Britain and Japan to
Quit JOckeying.
TEST SINCERITY OF THE PARLEY

Washington, D. c., December 81
Limitation of armament is entirely
up to Great Britain, France, Japan or
any other foreign nation participating
in the armament conference-not up
to the United States-Senator William
King, of Utah, member of the senate
naval affairs committee, declared to-
day.
''Shall we have war or shall we have
peace?" inquired Senator King. 1T is
not up to the United States to answer
the question. We are prepared for
either.
Ready for War or Peace.
''The senate naval affairs commit
tee is prepared to vote for submarines
or submarine destroyers any time any
foreign nation desires to make war
upon the American people
I'VE of the United States senate
prefer peace, but it is about time the
spokesmen of foreign nations now in
Washington understood this; we shalt
not ratify any treaty unless its terms
are satisfactory to U.S."
Senator King said it was his pur-
pose to offer two resolutions when the
senate reconvenes on January g., one
provision for a United States army OF
u.s. 900 men and officers; the other
limiting the personnel of the navy TO
$4,000 men and officers.
Test Their Sincerity.
"I shall offer my resolutions as a
test of the sincerity of those nations
which are talking loudest about dis
armament" Senator King said. 1.-The
senate of the United States is weary of
quibbling about submarines.
THE Americans ~want submarines.
or they don't want submarines--it all
depends upon whether other nations
want them or don't want them.
Morally, materially and in any
other way, the American people stand
ready to take care of themselves. Our
motto should be, Watch, look and
listen We are not easily aroused. We
proved what we were when we went
into the world war"
DO you favor the four-poWer Pa
cific treaty?" he was asked.
Wait Japanese interpretations.
II do not know" he replied. 1T
seems to me We should not oe con-
cerned as to what constructions we
may ourselves place upon the treaty.
We should be more concerned as 70
what constructions are placed upon it
by Great Britain, France or Japan.
There has been too much said, in
my opinion, regarding the different
interpretations placed upon the term,
insular sdomin:ons.' in article /. It
seems to me the United States senate
is more interested in. knowing, def
nitely and finally, how Great Britain,
France and Japan interpret those two
words"
