CopieS Furnished Them,
(By The Associared rress.)

Washington. Nov. 12.-The con-
ference on limitation of arma-
ments met this morning, heard an
opening address by president
Harding, one by Secretary or
State Hughes in which he present
ed the American plans for naval
armaments, named its permanent
officers and adjourned at l2:22
o'clock until Tuesday. November

Secretary Hughes was chosen
president of the conference, ana
John w. Garrett of Baltimore, for
mer minister to The Netherlands
was selected as secretary general
Hughes presentation of the
American plan for the limitation OF
naval ornaments was the distinct
feature Of the opening session, as
it was entirely unexpected u
overweighed the presidents ad-
dress which frequently had been
punctuated with cheering.
The president was answered by
loud clappings when he said wa'
should be "outlawed" and the re-
sources of the world turned into
constructive channels.
There was the tensest silence as
the president announced the key
note of the conference as follows
"The United States welcomes
you with unselfish hands. We har
Dor no fears; we have no sordid
ends to serve; we suspect no enc
my; we contemplate or apprehend
no conquest. Content with what
we have, we seek nothing that Is
another's We only wish to do with
you that finer. nobler thing which
no nation can do alone. We wish
to sit with you at the table of in
tornational understanding and
good will. In good conscience we
are eager to meet you frankly and
invite and offer cooperation. The
world demands a sober contempla-
tion of the existing order and the
realization that there can be no
cure without sacrifice not by one
of us, but by all of us. l do not
mean surrendered rights, or mar
rowed freedom. or denied aspira-
tions or ignored national necessi-
ties. Our republic would no moro
ask for these than 1t would give
No pride need be humbled. no ma
tionality submerged, but ! woul1
have a mergence of minds commit
ting all of us to less preparation
for war and more enjoyment of
fortunate peace"
The delegates at the main table
followed the reading, line by line,
from copies they had.
The audience and some of the
delegations came to their feet ap-
plauding when Mr.. Harding de.
clared America wanted "less Of ar.
mament and none of war" and
wanted to work to that end.

utes. 16 seconds. De Palma was
not entered in this event but ne

official Text OF THE AMERICAN PROPOSAL FOR
Limiting ARMAMENT, Laid before Conference

Washington, Nov IL (by the AS
sociated Press.) Following, is the
full official text of the American
proposal for limitation of world
armament as laid before the con-
ference:
The proposal of the United
States for a limitation OF naval
armaments:
The United States proposes the
following plan for a limitation of
the naval armaments of the con-
ferring nations. The United States
believes this plan safely guards
the interests of all concerned.
In working out this proposal the
United States has been guided by
four general principles:
ta)-The elimination of all cap
ital ship building programs, either
actual or projected.
(b)-Further reduction through
the scrapping of certain of the
older ships.
(c)-That regard should be had
for the existing naval strength Of
the comforting powers.
(d)-The use Of capital ship tom
mage as the measurement OF
strength for navies and a propor-
tionate allowance of auxiliary COM
batant craft prescribed.
Proposal for a limitation of ma
val armaments.
Capital Ships.
United States.
One-The United States to scrap
all new capital ships now under
construction and on their way to
completion. This includes six bat
tie cruisers and seven battleships
on the ways and building and two
battleships launched.
Note Paragraph one involves
a reduction of fifteen new capital
ships under construction with a
total tonnage when completed of
$4,000 tons. Total amount of
money already spent on fifteen
capital ships, $332,000, ,00o.)
Two-The United States to scrap
all battleships up to, but not in
Guiding the Delaware and North
Dakota.
Note--(The number of old bat
tleships scrapped under paragraph
two Is fifteen;, their total tonnaec
is 227740 tons. The grand total OF
capital ships to be scrapped is thir-
ty, aggregating S45.740 tons)
Great Britain.
Three--Great Britain to stop
further construction OF the four
new Hoods
Note Paragraph three involves
a reduction Of four new capital
ships not yet laid down. but on
which money has been spent, with
a total tonnage, when completed
of $4,000 tons)
Four-In addition to the four
Hoods, Great Britain to scrap four
dreadnaughts. second line battle
ships and first line battleships up
to, but not including, the King
George V class.
Note--(Paragraph four involves
the disposition of nineteen capital
of which have al
ready been scrapped-with a ton
mage reduction of 411,S75 tons. The
grand total tonnage of ships scrap
ped under this agreement will be
5S3,375 tons,
Japan.
Five--Japan to abandon her pro-
gram of ships not yet laid down,
viz: The Xii, Dwarf, Number z,
Number s battleships, and Numbers
5. 8. 7 and s battle cruisers.
Note Paragraph five does not
Involve the stopping of construction

has begun.)
Six--Japan to scrap three battle-

purposes be drawn up, because of
the importance of the merchant
marine 'in inverse ratio to the
size of naval armaments."
Those are the features of the
sweeping challenge Secretary
Hughes presented to the other
naval powers. There was complete
detail covering every phase of the
question but the essence of the pro-
posal lay in this; That the United
States offered to go far beyond
what she asked Great Britain or
Japan to do, viewed from the finan-
cial losses involved. The whole
American big shipbuilding pro-
gram Is on the stocks while Great
Britain has no capital ships under
construction and the Japanese
"eight and eight" program is as yet
largely on paper.
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1921-11-13


six capital ships aggregating
Within three months after the
conclusion of an agreement, the
United States would have eighteen
capital ships; Great Britain TWEEN
ty-two and Japan ten. Tonnage of
the three nations, respectively,
would be 5o0,56O; 6O4,45O and
299,700.
Replacement Scheme.
Ships when twenty years old
might be replaced and the re-
placement scheme is 100000 tons
for the United States; 100000 tors
for Great Britain and 100000 tons
for Japan. No replacement ship
could exceed $4,000 tons.
The United States would scrap
thirty capital ships aggreeating
S43,740 tons; Great Britain nine
teen, aggregating 5S3,375 tons. and
Japan seventeen, aggregating 44S,
92S tons.

stroyed, reducing the British force
American to eighteen and the
japanese to ten, each ship to be
retained being named.
Replacement Scheme.
: That during the agreement, no
capital craft be laid down except

which would provide for ultimate
equality of the British and Ameri-
ran fleets and for a Japanese force
Rt sixty per cent Of the strength of
either of the other two.
That all other naval craft be
similarly provided for in the same
ratio, specific figures for aggre-

laid down,

FIRE DESTROYS
FARM HOME AT
ERIE THURSDAY
Flames Not Discovered Until They
Gain Big Headway-Feu Ar
icles Are Saved.
(Snecial Correspondence.)

Erie, Dec. 30.-F1re of unknown
origin completely destroyed the
large farm house in Portland town
ship belonging TO Mr.. and Mrs. r.
C. Skaggs, on Thursday morning.
The house was insured for $1,000,
and the contents, little of which
were saved. for $500.
1t is thought that the fire had
been smouldering in the attic for
when it was discovered the flames
were bursting through the roof and
before help arrived, had gained
such Roadway that nothing could
be done to save the building. M.
and Mrs. Skaggs formerly lived on
another farm west of Erie, bus
a short time ago bought the farm
in Portland township. A few ar
ticles of furniture and clothing
were all that were seved from the
flames.
Mrs. Cordelia Seger. who has
been seriously i'll for the past week,
is reported to be improving. She
is under the care of trained nurse.
Mr. and Mrs. Allen Pratt ex-
pect to leave next week for Cali
fornia, where they will spend the
remainder of the winter. They will
locate at Los Angeles. Mrs. Pratt
has not been in good health for
some time and t is thought that the
change will be beneficial to her.
