Washington, Nov. lord Lee Of
Fareham. first lord of the British adj
miralty and one of England's dele
gates to the arms conference, who has
just arrived at Washington with Lady
Lee. is optimistic over the outlook for
success offthe parley. In an interview
he said:
The world has learned that mill
tariSnl wherever situated and how
eve intrenched, is a menace to tciviii-
zation IN must be given notice to
quit That is what brings us to Wash
ington. and If, as l trust, we all go
there in a spirit not merely Of hope
and sincerity but of fixed determine
ton to convert the presidents lofty
aspiration into a practical working
agreement. the war will not have been
fought in vain.
Confident Good Will Result.
$50 far as I am concerned-and
here I speak not only IS the respon-
s35le head of the British admiralty
but as one of tho official delegates
I come in a spirit Of quiet confidence
n a the results of this conference
will be such as amply to justify Presi-
dent Harding's f~ar-seeing initiative,
and. personally. l am not prepared
even to contemplate the possibilities
Of failure. To do 50 would be to as
sumo that the world was afflicted with
an incurable insanity M could not be
restrained from suicide.
THE greatest needs Of mankind to-
day, and for the future, are peace and
that relief from the burdens of war
which peace ought to bring. No one
recognizes this nor clearly and fully
than the British government and peo-
ple,s n nom nave given greater
proofs of their sincerity in the pur-
suit Of these high objects. BY their
bold and, SC far, lonely lead in re-
duction of naval ornaments. by their
frank acceptance of the principle of
equality with America in the matter
Of naval strength. as also by their
concession in Ireland, they have made
it clear to the world that they not
only seek peace but pursue it.
Come With Proper Spirit
1T is in this same spirit of practical
endeavor that the British delegates
come to Washington resolved that
short OF compromising the safety of
the empire Of the sea-security upon
which its very existence depends, a
betrayal of our ancient heritage of
which they could never be guilty
! they will go to almost any length to
meet the other great naval powers in
a mutual and proportionate effort to
relieve Il respective peoples from
the intolerable burden of competitive
ornaments.
THAT is all 1 have to say about the
conference at this time, nor would it

;be respectful to say more in advance
of its actual meeting. b.
II would only add this on the per-
sonal side: Ever since I first came to
America, nearly thirty years ago, and
long before I even entered public life,
my highest and most persistent ambi-
ton has been to contribute something
practical to the cause of closer under
standing and cooperation between
the Enslish-speaking peoples. This
has been due not merely to considera-
tons of expediency but to al inerad-
icable feeling of friendship for the
American people and an instructive
understanding Of their point of view.
My intimate association with them
and their armies in the field during
the Spanish-American var brought
home to me the essential truth Of
Theodore Roosevelt's words that the
English-speaking peoples are really
one when either Is threatened from
