forty-five men who escaped death last
night under water in the submarine

World disarmament agreements are i'm

United States tried and lost in the policy
of dfsarming alone. Behind the fight on

a mere bagatelle, a pawn on the chess
board
Senator Underwood said he was de
lighted that leadership of the republican
party had decided not to resist further
the Borah amendment for disarmament
conference. This, he said. was the only
hope for peace held out so far by the
republican party. He added, however,
that it would be idle to adopt the Borah
amendment unles it was proposed to back
