BY GEORGE N. BARNES,
British Parliament Leader.

By Radio to The Star.
LONDON. November 19.-England
feels that the Washington confer
ence is we'll begun.
It has lifted the question Of arma-
ment from the arena of academies
to the region OF reality. Previous
experience along this line had been
somewhat SOLDERING. for in view of
the nibbling efforts and meager re-
suits Of the league of nations. news
paper editors had pitched their notes
in a minor key and public opinion
had been prepared for the worst.
Even Lord Robert Cecil was doubt
full, and Sir Donald Mclean, on be-
half of the liberal party in COM
mons. had told us to expect but little
of the American gathering. The at
mosphere had been charged with
timidity, but already the proceedings
at Washington have revived hopes
which had been chilled by a lack
of faith.
u. 8. Ear Close to Ground.
We were glad to find that the ear
Of the United States government had
been close to the ground. The lead
which has been given is finding a
ready and cheerful response here on
the part of the masses of the people,
the only danger now being IN the
absence Of any direct representation
of the common people in the face
of very full representation or the
fighting service.
But the British government is
bound to the Hughes, proposal by its
own arguments. 1t based its ship
building program on the programs of
Japan and the United States. 1t was
a case of pre-war competition all
over again, but instead of Germany,
which must be more than matched,
japan and America had become the
pacemakers on whom the British ad-
miralty thought it necessary to keep
a watchful eye.
Based ON Other Programs.
Winston Churchill. speaking for the
government, in support Of the four cap
ital ships program, based his case on
the ground that the programs of Japan
and the United States would. when COM
pleted, leave Great Britain in third
place, and he assumed that the scrap
ping of ships and the squandering of
money spent upon them as outside all
practical consideration.
This was only three months ago. To-
day all work on the four capital ships
was ordered stopped. As we are offered
now both the scrapping and the squan-
dering in Americas proposals, the argu-
ment based on foreign building pro-
grams falls to the ground. British ac-
ceptance OF the proposals, moreover.
leaves US in a better relative position
than we should have occupied if we
went on building, for it leaves us in ten
years time with a fleet of capital ships
equal to the United States and for ten
years in a position of superiority. Our
board Of admiralty claimed only a one
power standard.
Bound to Accept Principle.
There may be something to say on
the details Of protecting commerce and
on submarines. but it is difficult to see
how the British government could have
done otherwise than to accept sethc
Hughes proposals in principle. Mr. Bal
fours speech is therefore indorsed here
with practical unanimity. In fact, the
alternative to acceptance has been

not forget that without her great
effort In 1914 they would lnot have
had the chance to reach the battle
field and corsequently, If today there
is talk of limiting armament. they
owe it all to France. France asks
only the chance to work as a great
power on an equal footing with the
| other. great powers for the conseli-
dation' of the peace. She only hopes
| that the lessons of history and ex-
perience will not be forgotten.
For only yesterday a book was
spread throughout Germany contain
| ing this disturbing appeal from Hin
denburg: THE lands that were Ger
man must be German again. That
is what you must eternally remind
our German youths"
But there are the questions to be
asked concerning the Washington
, conference. Will not the reduction
of the number of ships for ten years
prove illusory unless the agreement
is applied to shipyards and unless
Will the Anglo-Saxon powers which
rejected such surveillance in 1919 ac-
cept it today?s
Problem of other Nations.
The Hughes plan establishes the
relative strength of three navies. But
| others exist, which. while smaller
nevertheless meet certain geo.
graphical necessities. For example
F, there are the French and Italian
navies in the Mediterranean. These
countries can never overlook the
Mediterranean problem, so we must
have details as to this before we
, can give final answer as to the
| Atlantic and the Pacific.
Again, there is the submarine ques-
tion raised by Mr.. Baifour. who
asked a closer limit than Mr.. Hughes
proppSef, The aphna riY,e 10 mot nec-
essarily an instrument of murder as
the Germans made it. 1t may easily
become a legitimate and necessary
arm for second-class naval powers.
Countries like France and Italy, with
coasts and colonies, and which do not
intend indulging in the luxury of
capital ships, need submarines as
naughts. Unless this special ques-
tion is satisfactorily answered. arma-
ment limitation may seem to some
Il mere consolidation of the suprem-
acy of others.
Other Questions Asked.
After these preliminary questions
one may ask where the conference
is heading? viii it raise the ques-
ton of land armament. and how?
granted the right of numerical su-
periority analogous, to that granted
TO America and England in the
Hughes proposals.? viii there be a
tacit agreement that limitation i'm
plies a certain solidarity among the
high contracting parties to assist any
one nation threatened by unforeseen
danger?
How would such a solidarity. to
which the United States does not
seem favorable, be expressed?

PARIS, November 10. The Wash

with intense interest by French pub
lie opinion. OF course, as the con-
ference is just beginning. no con-
elusive judgments are possible. But
let me give some first impressions,
which naturally may be subject to

We find our American friends firm
in the same ardent desire they had
three years ago to insure to humanity
a better lot. We loved them for that
after the armistice, ana we love them
for the same reason today. :.

also has proved her sincerity Az
