LETTERS TO AMBASSADOR SHOW
WOODROW WILSON PUSHED PLANS.
FOR DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The Wilson
administration, as early as 1913, was
pushing plans for disarmament con-
ference like the one called by Presi-
dent Harding for November.
This fact is revealed IN. letters OF
Walter H. Page, late ambassador TO
Great Britain, printed in the October
issue OF Worlds Work
The letters point to the efforts OF
former President Wilson, Col. Z. NJ
House and Page to get Great Britain
and Germany together in conference
with the United States and find a
means to use their enormous military
expenditures and resources for peace
full and humane purposes.
In letted to Col. House on Aug.
2S, 1913, Page wrote:
Here are great navies and armies
and great Withdrawals of men from
industry-an enormous waste. Here
are all the privileges and taxes that
this state of things implies = every
one a hindrance to human progress
There's no future in Europe

the same time, Page added: r
"a way must be found out of this
stagnant watching Else way will
have to be fought out, of it; and a
great European war would set the Old
World, perhaps the whole world back
long way. 1t seems impossible to-
talk the great powers out of their fear
of one another or to Hague them out
of it. They'll never be persuaded to
