 ties. Our republic would no more ask for these than 1t would give No pride need be humbled no nation alty submerged, but I would have a mergence of minds committing all of us to less preparations for war and more enjoyment of fortunate peace.
 The higher hopes come of the spir- it Of our coming together. It Is bat just to recognize varying needs and peculiar positions. Nothing can he accomplished in disregard of natioJ- al apprehensions. Rather we should act together to remove the causes 1T apprehensions. This Is not to be do le in intrigue. Greater assurance IS found in the exchanges of simple hon. esty and directness among men re- solved to accomplish as becomes leaders among nations when civiliza- ton itself has come to It's crucial test.
 Excessive Costs.
 Tt is not to be challenged that government fails when the excess of Its cost robs the people of the way to happiness and the opportunity to achieve. If the finer sentiments were not urging, the cold, hard facts of excessive cost and the eloquence of economies would urge us to reduce our armaments. If the concept of a better order does not appeal then let us ponder the burden and the blight. of continued competition.
 Tt Is not to be denied that the world has swung along throughout ages without needing this call from the kindlier hearts of men. But the same world never before was so trag ically brought to realization of the utter futility of passions sway when reason and conscience and fellowship point a nobler way.
 Less Armament.
 q can speak officially only for our United States. Our hundred millions frankly want less of armament and none of war. Wholly free from guile, sure In our own minds that we har- bor no unworthy designs, we accredit the world with the same good inten,. So, I welcome you. not alone in good will and high purpose. but with high faith
 We are met for a service to man kind. In all simplicity, in all hon esty and all honor, there may be writ ten here the avowals of a world con science refined by the consuming fires of war, and made more sensitive by the anxious aftermath. l hope for that understanding which will em- phasize the guarantees of peace and for commitments to less burdens and better order which will tranquil ize the world. In such an accom- plishment there will be added glory to your flags and ours, and the re- joicing of mankind will make the transcending music of all succeed ing time"

first proposal when it was presented
yesterday after the effort to limit
naval strength In submarines and
auxiliary ships had been abandoned in
the face Of the French announcement
fixing a limit Of 10000 tons in sub
mersibles and $4,000 tons in auxiliary
craft for that country. The French,
Italians n Japanese all announced
that they would have to await in"
structions before deciding on the pro-
posed 10000 limit for ali craft below
the capital ship class. The French
hoped to be in q position to announce.
their decision today. The American
proposal regarding airplane carriers
also provided a tonnage limitation for
tho several powers In that type Of
ship. 1t was discussed only briefly
yesterday without commitment by.any
OF the delegations.

Another development of yesterdays

French proposal that their country be
permitted to .begin replacement Of
capital ship tonnage in 1927, tour
years before the termination of the
proposed ten-year holiday-was being
considered today by naval experts Of
the other powers. In most quarters,
this proposal which was. offered as a,
reservation to Frances definite accept
ance Of the $4,000 ton capital ship
ratio was not, regarded az likely to en-
danger in any way the capital ship
agreement but 1t was characterized by
Mr.. Balfour in the committee session
as "a serious interference" with the
holiday plan. 4
The plain spoken exchange between
Arthur ]. Balfour and M. Sarraut,

possibilities Of a future war between
France and the British empire, fol-
lowing presentation of the French
program in submarines and auxiliary
