HE greatest obstacle to of President Hardings dis
armament conference the record of the republican
concableS in the senate of which group the president
was once leader No doubt the president recognizes this fact
and accounts for his repeated warnings not to expect too
much from the coming conference
When the senate rejected the peace treaty and the league
covenant rejected the best disarmament plan devised
plan under which machinery provided to put
reductions into effect and to make the move succeed by
eliminating the necessity for vast national equipment Vr
uay all the allied and neutral had agreed to the plan
and they still favor it.
But because the supported by democratic pres
dent the Lodge contingent made it. They appealed
the spirit that calls for aloorness and isolation They
argued that take but not They argued that seek
advantages but not accept responsibilities Through confusing
millions of honest voters and by adro appeals to other millions
who represent alien thought in America they won out 1t was
great partisan victory but it involved setback to the
Of and disarmament 1t is The black cloud that overcasts
the sky all over the world today.
President Harding seeking this state Of a
fairs and he is entitled to credit for his But he is en-
baassed and the disarmament conference gong TO be en-
baassed by the record of the presidents own political
ates in the senate The irreconcabe record IS the biggest
stumbling block before the Washington conference If the con-
ference is to succeed the altitude OF the senate must be changed
and the president will have need of nerve and actuness IN
bringing about that change If the United States will frankly
to its world obligations the disarmament confer
will be able to accomplish wonders The course plan
and the yion Of peace and armament reductions Is no IRE
descent dream The vision be made to come true Tor the
plan has been tried for ages ON smaller scale ana
works
But we will not get disarmament if we continue to follow
the lead down by the econcabes last year. we are
to keep down fires there must be fire department and Uncle
Sam must be in the team call what wish There IS no es
cape from this and the facts should be frankly faced No ma
ton going dsarm that it be noticed unless that ma
ton is assured of protection Unless willing to help
give such protection not going to get the blessing OF re-
duced armaments and there we are. -
The fate of the disarmament conference does not rest WIN
the conference 1t with the senate of the United States
There will be all kinds of talk at and about the November con-
ference but the president going to have little trouble with te
foreign delegates His grea battle will be with he sehae
though that may not show the surface II ne VIII take the
stand he should he will have the public with him and they will
force the into line he subordnaes the white mouse
to the dictates of the econcabes the disarmament CONFER
ence will be failure or so nearly like failure that will
be able to tell the difference.
