BOR PLEDGES SUPPORT TO u PROPOSALS TO LIMIT NAVIES

to the Conference on Arms Limitation by
section of the advisory committee to
the delegation. The outline probably
will be put before the delegates at a
general meeting with the advisory COM
mittee to be held early next week.
The advisory committee plans to ac-
quaint the delegates with an exact de-
scription of the extent to which the
United States Is interested economically
in Far Eastern questions now before the
conference. Emphasis will be laid on
the interest of individual American pro-
ducers of raw materials, manufactured
products and machinery and the market
for American products generally in
China and other Oriental markets.
Collection of data for the outline has
been going on for some days. The pro-
gramme Is to put the American delegates
TO the conference in possession OF every
economic phase OF the Far Eastern ques-
ton so they may be prepared to uphold
the primary interests of the United
States in the discussion that will come
before the conference and its commit
tees. Basically the questions dealing
with the Far East now before the con-
ference are concerned with economic
factors and business hazards or the ma
tionals of the great nations.

of the proposals of Secretary Hughes

Hoover and the advisory section on in

The conclusions thus far are that the

British Publisher Says Singa-

if Occasion Demands.

PEKIN, Nov. IT (Associated Press).
Lord Northcliffe, well known Brit
ish publisher, who is now on a tour
OF the Orient, in an address before the
Anglo American Association here to-
day declared:
"If the United States is ever men
aced in the Far East. if at any time
her magnificent work in the Philip
pines is DISTURBED. is there any rea-
son why Singapore should not be
available for her fleets? Great Brit
ain and America must hang together
in the Far East or some time or other
they may be hanged separately
Lord Northcliffe declared that never
in history had Anglo American friend
ship been more necessary. He said
America, Canada and thousands of
Australians were much concerned
over the prolongation of the Anglo
japanese alliance, which had benefited
Japan beyond her widest dreams.
Japan at present is in much the
same position as Germany before the
war;" he continued. "Nominally a
democracy, she is absolutely governed
by four men, whose intentions might
be judged by examining the con-
stantly changing map OF the Far East
and the immense expansion of Japa-
nese armaments.
THAT the Japanese military party
is hostile toward the United States
might be gathered from the many
publications which obviously are ap-
proved by the rulers of Japan. But
just as we took little notice Of Bern
hardi before the war, so the Ameri-
cans are not worrying about such
books as If Japan and America
Fight by the famous soldier, Gen.
Sato; or Shall Japan and America
F'ight?' by Seramoto, or dozen other
such publications. These works show
lamentable ignorance of the United
States, of her economic power, of her
fleet and of her capacity for raising
armies.
Moreover, they even display abso-
lutte ignorance of the state of feeling
throughout Australia. The masses of
the Australians detest the alliance as
heartily as the Canadians. These
Japanese war books, which accurately
represent the military party of Japan,
constantly twit the United States with
having no base in the Far East. They
seem to regard Pearl Harbor as the
nearest important American sea sta
ton"
when the Americans came to our
assistance in 1917 there were certain
bases in southwestern Ireland to which
we gladly invited them" added Lord
Northcliffe, who continued with the
suggestion of the availability of Sing
apore, and concluded:
with the Irish question settled, /
believe a cordial Anglo-American
handshake will result"
