tained this definite statement.
The British Prime Minister had
insisted that Ireland's remaining a
part of the empire must be accepted
by Sim Fein before the conference
could take place. De Valera,s note
today pointed out that Ireland had
already declared her independence.
1t stated that Sim Fein had no Oh
lection to entering a conference TO
discuss the association of Ireland
with the British empire but that
Ireland would negotiate as a sover-
eign State and would meet Lloyd
George on this condition only.
1t was considered highly probable
that the proposed conference would
be postponed since one Sim Fem
plan was to consider the Premier's
last word" as brought by Boland
and McGrath, and then again dis
patch couriers with a reply which
perhaps might be satisfactory. The
time necessary for couriers to make
this trip would delay the formal con
ference. 1t was said, although the
Dali designated its delegates yester-
day and they were in readiness to
start for Scotland.

New-York tribune., 1921-12-11

Sir Edward Goschen, First Lord of the Brit
ish Admiralty. had initiated the British efforts
even before the Hague gathering by propos-
ing limitation of armament by treaty. Aus
ten Chamberlain, for the British Cabinet, re-
newed this suggestion in 1908. When Camp
bell-Bannerman came into power in 1906 the
peace advocates had strenuous champion at
the British helm, and gigantic efforts to bring
about peace filled the years Of his ministry.
tie was Joined by such influential men as Sir
Edward Grey, Lord Haldane, Albert Asquth
and David Lloyd George, who waged with
him strenuous public speaking campaign in
favor of disarmament The Bosnian crisis
served to emphasize the fact that Europe was
sitting on powder keg, and it became evil
dent that some new effort had to be made to
stop the armament competition. Theodore
Roosevelt, with the thought that a new Hague
conference would possibly result in some dis
armament move, stepped into the situation de-
spite the fact that he was busy settling the
Russo-Japanese War and called a new inter
national meeting. However, because the Car
had issued the first call he was permitted to
send out the formal invitations to the second
meeting. His invitation, strange to say, didn't
mention the subject of disarmament, and it
was evident that German opposition at the
first meeting had crowded out the subject at
the second gathering. The British, French,
Italian and American governments and
leading men of those countries brought strong
pressure to bear to have the subject of dis
armament considered. But Germany was
adamant. Her junkers cried war; insisted that
Germany was prepared end didn't need to
consider disarmament, and her government
answered these advances from abroad with the
statement that discussions of disarmament
projects would be left to the powers who
thought something might come Of them
When the second Hague conference met, in
July, 1907, Germany refused to let the ques-
ton of armaments be discussed on the floor.
and was supported in this attitude by Austria
The British, insistent that some way be found
to get the matter on the agenda, succeeded in
introducing resolution through the chief of
their delegation, Sir Edward Fry, which read
"And, inasmuch as military ex-
penditure has considerably increased in al
most every country it is eminently
desirable that the governments should resume
the serious examination of this question:
The action of the second Hague conference
was highly disappointing to the advocates of
disarmament. But the British, always leaders
in this direction, were not discouraged, and
determined to push the matter by correspond

airy disturbances and was forced to arm sew
eral additional vessels the lakes to cope
with the rebels. These however, were dis
mantled later, and the United States felt
that the spirit of the disarmament agreement
had not been violated. Similarly, the United
States during the Civil War was forced to put
more armed ships on the Great Lakes to stop
the lncurslons of rebels from the Southern
states, who were taking the Canadian route
TO get into the North and try to start hostili-
ties up there. This situation grew so serious
mat early In 1865 Congress authorized and
the Secretary Of State promulgated formal
notice to Great Britain that the United States
would regard the sE-Bagot agreement ended
after q certain date. But with the conclusion
OF the Civil War this notice of cancellation of
the agreement was withdrawn and the pact re-
NAMED in force
Some minor changes and notifications of
the Rush-Bagot agreement have been effected,
but none has served to alter the disarmament
splrt. For hundred years peace has been
maintained by this agreement along bound
airy or 1900 miles, and the absence of border
troubles and disputes has become such a CON-
nlonplace that Americans never stop to think
what foundation lies under this prolonged
peace. The number Of vessels on the lakes has
been increased, and the number of craft on
Lake Champan has been taken into consid-
GRAFTON. Both countries operate revenlf cut
ters on the lakes, although they are not spe-
cltical!y provided for in the agreement Neither
country has ever objected to their presence
Consequently when President Harding and
his advisers worked out their armament re-
duction plan they had definite precedent, or
model, to follow in American history. They
had, of course, several less conspicuous ex-
amples to follow, but the outstanding point
about most of the attempts at disarmament has
been their failure. Forcble disarmament
started when the angel with fiery sword
drove Adam out Of the Garden of Eden and
stripped him Of all his property Germany to-
day is fair example Of enforced disarma-
ment, for that country, once the worlds cham
plon warmaker, has been reduced to a state
of military helplessness. After the war Of
1870 definite effort was made to reach an
agreement to limit armament but the need
was not great enough even at that late date

international conference to be held at The
Hague in 1899 to devise ways of disarminp the
powers. Toward this appeal most of the ma
tons were instantly responsive Germany
alone of all the powers assumed an Indifferent
and even hostile attitude, ridiculing the disar-
mament i8ea as Utopian and impossible and
