Much Of the suspicion which turned
q large part of America away from

American willingness to join with the
nations of the world for purposeJ we
believe in.
There are two schools Of thought in
Washington about President Hard
ing's invitation to n conference for
limitation of ornaments. One of these
schools wanted the conference to he
restricted to naval disarmament only.
and only wanted the nations confer
ring to be limited to Great Britain,
Japan. and the United States.
The other school wanted to include
disarmament on land. as we'll as on
sea and wanted the invitation to In
clude those nations like France and
Italy. who are mainly concerned with
large armies and not so much con-
cerned with large navies.
As everybody knows. 1t was the lat
ter school that prevailed with Presi-
dent Harding, altho the school that
wanted restriction to naval disarm-
ament only was decidedly the larger
and more powerful here In Washing
ton. At tho same time. It IL unlver-
sally recognized that this subject Is
Wholly within tho executive functions

titled to go about IL in his own way

II is also recognized that tho present

WASHINGTON IDEAL PLACE

American Public Suspicious Of Secret Sessions At
European Conferences Naval Limitation Will
Be Chief Topic

United States. In a long series of con-
flicts Senator Borah's idea won every
time. 1t passed the senate by a vote
of "a to o. Then when the lower house
proposed as alternative to the
Borah resolution the plan which Hard
ing has now adopted this plan was de
feated and Senator Borah's resolu-
ton was ultimately adopted in the
house with only four dissenting votes.
Undoubtedly the inclusion of land
disarmament makes progress more
complete, there were Just three ma
tions engaged in increasing naval arm
mament and an agreement on the part
of those three nations would have set
tied that question. The inclusion OF
land disarmament brings in several
other factors. 1t brings in France.
and France does not want to abolish
her military system, That system is
ingrained in the minds of the French
people and of the French government.
In giving reasons for opposition to land
disarmament they have said among
other things that 1t would destroy the
morale of the French people.
France thinks that a standing army
with universal military service is her
only protection. When this conference
comes, France may take this position,
and will say that the only terms upon
which she could safely disarm would
be a formal agreement upon the part
Of all tho ether nations to come TO

However, land disarmament In Eu-

The sacrifice must be made now while
the door of opportunity stands open
