Hughes Plan Good, but
Falls Short, Ford Says
Proposals Will Increase Public
Desire for Ultimate Disarma-
mcnf. He Declares

DETROIT, Nov. 16.--The American
proposals for the reduction Of world
navies represent step in the right
direction, but are not far-reaching
enough, Henry Ford declared here to-
day. He added, however, that the
Hughes proposals will tend not only
to restore public confidence, but will
raise public expectations that further
steps will be taken toward ultimate
disarmame
81 am glad" Mr.. Ford declared, "that
the position Of the United States was
brought out as early in the conference
as it was. Thus the real aims Of the
gathering were not permitted to be-
come becloudcd in debate and discus
sion."
1t is Mr.. Ford's view that the ma
terial that goes into the construction
of battleships and other implements of
naval warfare could be more advan-
tageously devoted to the manufacture
of agricultural implements and other
time necessaries.

DIR. Gibbons Sees Error
In Disarming Program
Fatal Blunder Made in Not In
viting Germany, and Russia
To Parficinatc

DR.. Herbert Adams Gibbons, Of
Princeton, in lecture in Hunter Col
lcge chapel yesterday, discussed the
problems and mistakes of tho Confer
ence on the Limitation Of Armament
being held in Washington.
According to DR.. Gibbons, the fatal
mistake of the conference lies in not
inviting Germany and Russia to par
ticipate. 1t was true, he said, that the
former was our late enemy, but, con-
sidering the German population to be
approximately 7b,000,000 in strong
racial unit, the Russian population
about the same, the highly industrial
lied state of the Germans and the i'm
mcnse agricultural and mineral re-
sources Of Russia, it was certain to
prove serious mistake.
"For," said DR.. Gibbons, "cvcn this
or any other conference cannot succeed
without taking these two into colisld-
Grafton. If Russia and Germany were
allies, instead of enemies, in the last
conflict it is against all facts OF the
case that we could conquer them.
"'rhe problem of the Pacific" Or.
Gibbons said, Resolves itself into
either the coercion or the bluffing Of
Japan. IL we find that Great Britain
cannot be persuaded to abrogatc her
alliance with Japan, then the program
stands in danger OF wrecking at it's
inception. But the great solf-dctcr-
mining British dominions already are
willing 50 throw Japan over. They see
the superior advantage of an alliance
with English-sp speaking America. Japan
then will demand protection in place
Of the British alliance, and in sll prob
ability she will demand the end OF the
British sphere OF influence in Hong
Kong, that of the French in southern
China and the Americans In the Philip
