ber OF witnesses that calling Of an
international conference TO discuss
armament would meet with general
approval, the house naval commit
tee Friday called before fI ten high
officers Of the navy and one OF the
army and heard a vast amount Of
divergent and confusing testimony
as 10 whether aircraft had made
capital naval vessels useless
Before the committee settled
down 10 listen TO the officers. how
ever. Chairman Butler announced
positively. that an international dis
armament conference would be
called by this country. He did not
say when the call would go out, but
il was assumed from his line OF
questioning that IL would be shortly
after Pres't-elect Harding with
whom Mr.. Butler recently con-
ferred, takes office.
Opposes Plan.
Rear Admiral William Sims. war
time commander OF all American
naval forces in European waters
and at present head OF the naval
war college. the first witness called.
counselled against immediate aban-
dOnment Of the capital ships. He
added. however. that If aerial forces
demonstrated the value he expected
them to in the near future. they
would soon make major surface
craft useless He opposed discon-
tinuing work on the great 1916 ma
val building program. and declared
nobody is going to take his hand
off his gun" until conditions be-
come settled in Europe
The superiority OF the battIeships
over either the airplane or sub
marine was defended by Rear Ad-
miral Charles J. Badger. head OF the
general hoard and former cOmman-
der OF the Atlantic fleet. who de-
clared that battleships and battle
cruisers would remain the back
bone OF the fleet for years 10 come.

anything very definite would come
out of the proposed disarmament
conference. hut said II was a
worth while effort
