Idaho Senator Warns That
Present Naval Policy Will
Mean Conflict With
Japan or Britain.
Raps Committee Report
BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING
Chicago Tribune Omaha bee Leased Wire.

Z
/ Washington. Feb. ll.--War be-
! tween the United States and either
/ Japan Or Great Britain within the
next few years il competitive navy
building continues was predicted by
Senator Borah OF Idaho during
/ heated debate on the disarmament
I question in the senate today.
| The debate followed hard upon tire
receipt of news that the Japanese
had rejected overwhelmingly meas
urc providing that Japan enter into
negotiations with the United States
and Great Britain for joint agree
ment on curtailment Of naval build
ing.
III As sailing the naval affairs commit
tees report rejecting his suggestion
Of temporary suspension OF Amer
ican naval constructions Senator
Borh contended that the naval com
mittec had not given sufficient study
to the problem and maintained his
position that there should either be
A disarmament agreement or the
United States should suspend all
building for six months while it
makes sure that it is building a
thoroughly efficient and up-to-date
navy.
Members OF the naval affairs COM
mittee. led by Senators. Poindexter

rejected resolution to open nego-
tiations with the United States and
Great Britain for curtailing naval
building. He cited this as evidence
Of the /, hopelessness of getting
Japanese to enter into any pact TO
reduce naval armament.
That vote was a pretty good
showing in a militaristic nation"
commented Senator Borall. But
it shows all the more reason why
we should be careful not to build
navy of obsolete ships.
"Unless some sort Of a disarnna-
nent agreement is reached, this
competitive building of naval arnla-

absolutely certain in my own mind
that unless way can be devised to
halt naval building, war is bound to-
come between the three chief COM
pctitive laval powers. And it it
does come want b have a
thoroughly modern and efficient
navy"
Demands Information.
Senator Boraii began his speech
by reading statements of British
authorities declaring the capital ship
obsolete and he hastened to answer
intinlations that such statements
were mcse propaganda designed to
induce the United States to abandon
battleship builGing and thus main
tain the present British superiority
on the seas. He demanded that the
