NEW YORK. November British
, delegates to the conference on lfmi-
tation of armaments will go to WASH
ington resolved that. short of COM
promising the safety of the empire or
it's sea security, they will go to al
most any length to meet other great
naval powers in mutual and propor-
tionate effort to relieve their people
from the burden OF competitive arma-
ment.
This declaration was made by Lord
Lee of Fareham, first lord Of the
British admiralty, and one of the Of
fetal delegates of his country, who
arrived on the Olympic. with other
delegates to the conference from
Italy, China and Japan.
Cites Lessons OF World War.
Referring tc the world war, Lord
Lee said, he had been convinced for
years that Germany meant mischief,
and added that the lessons learned
from that war were not confined to
those learned from Germany.
"The world" he asserted in pre-
pared statement, has learned a wider
lesson still-that militarism. wherever
situated and however intrenched,- fs
a menace to civilization and must be
given notice to quit.
That is what brings us to wash
ington. and if. as I trust. We all go
there in spirit not merely OF hope
and sincerity, but of fixed determine
tion to convert the Presidents lofty
aspiration into practical working
a agreement. the war will not have
been fought in vain.

Greatest Needs of Mankind.
1.-THE greatest needs of mankind to-
day. and for the future. are peace and
that relief from the burdens OF war
which peace ought to bring. No
one recognizes this more clearly and
fully than the British government and
people, and none has given greater
these high objects. By their bold
and, so far, lonely lead in reduction
'Of naval ornaments: by their frank
acceptance of the principle Of equal
Iity with America in matters of naval
strength. as also by the present pol

the world that they not only seek
