GEN. BLISS FOR DISARMAMENT

Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, in remarkable speecl recently delivered at Philadelphia, took very strons ground in favor of disarmament, contended that contrary to the generally declared military view high degree preparedness for was mor likely to bring armed conflict in the end than te count for peace He said:
 The application of this doctrine seems to
 have tendency it is true, to reduce the ire
 quency of wars. But the ultimate result is
 inevitable. The pent-up, dynamic forces of
 the nations reach point of tension at which
 resistance ceases and then comes an explosion
 which rocks the world to it's base" Those
 are mistaken, he states, "who may think
 there can be an enduring and effective asso-
 citation of the nations for the maintenance
 Of peace so long those nations are armed
 to the teeth solely against each other And
 those are mistaken who think that. so long
 as the present military system exists there
 can be any peaceful international court of
 arbitration
 The view of Secretary Baker and Secretary Daniels IS that two preventatives-the association of th, nations ln an agreement to avoid war and disarma ment-should go hand in hand. They contend that T. the United States is not going into the League CT Nations, or association that would mean practically the same thing the League the United states should prepare for that in case it comes she will be able better to defend herself
