DOOR IS STILL
OPEN TO PEACE
LONDON BELIEF
Newspapers Believe Rejection
of Plan of Irish Settlement
Still Leaves Door Open
MAY FORM A NEW PARTY
Bonar Law is Possible Head of
Coalition Organization In
England

London, Nov. 12.-Although one or
two newspapers expressed grave dis
appointment at the Ulster cabinets
rejection of the government plan for
the settlement Of the Irish question
the London press this morning gen.
orally sees no reason to regard the
situation more serious or hopes for
settlement being lessened.
1t is pointed out that while the
Ulsterites rejected the proposals on
the ground that they contained
fundamental principles that were i'm
possible Of attainment under existing
conditions they had also signified their
intention of making counter pro-
posals (which would indicate other
and more practical means Of securing
peace without infringing upon the
rights of Ulster"
Some of the correspondents say
the Ulster response was exactly what
had been expected and that it in no
wise implied that Premier Sir James
Craig and his colleagues mean to slam
the door to further negotiations.
The Times looks upon the Ulster
decision to make counter-proposals
as a step forward and the West
minister Gazette says it is proof that
the Obstetrics are willing to continue
the negotiations.

President, Speaking as Official
Sponsor For Washington Con-
ference on Limitation of Arm
aments, Points to Staggering
Burden of War

Washington, Nov. 12.-The text OF
President Harding's address at the
opening of the conference on limita-
ton of armaments follows:
Mr.. Secretary and Members of the
Conference, Ladies and Gentlemen:
1t is a great and happy privilege
to bid the delegates to this conference
cordial welcome to the capitol OF
the United States of America. 1t is
not only asatisfaction to greet you
because we were lately participants
in common cause, in which shared
sacrifices and sorrows and triumphs
brought our nations more closely to-
gether, but it is gratifying to address
you as the spokesmen for nations
whose convictions and attending &C
tions have so much to do with the
veal or woe of all mankind.
It is not possible to over-appraise
the Importance of such conference.
1t is no unseemly boast, no dis
paragement of other nations, which,
though not represented, are held in
high respect, to declare that the
conclusions of this body will have a
signal influence on all human pro-
gress-on the fortunes of the world.
Here is meeting, l can we'll be-
lieve, which is an earnest of the
awakened conscience Of twentieth
century civilization. 1t is not con-
vention of remorse nor session, or
sorrows. 1t is not the conference of
victors to define terms Of settlement
Nor is it a council of nations seeking
to remake humankind. 1t is rather
coming together from all parts of
the earth to apply the better attri-
butes of mankind to minimize the
faults in our international relation
ships.
Called for Entire World ta
Speaking as official sponsor for the
invitation, | think | may say the call
is not of the United States of Ameri-
ca alone. 1t is rather the spoken word
of a war-wearied world struggling for
restoration, hungering and thirsting
for better relationship; of humanity
crying for relief and" craving assur-
ances of lasting peace.
It is easy to understand this world
wide aspiration. The glory OF
triumph, the rejoicing in achievement,
the love of liberty, the devotion OF
country, the pangs of sorrow, the
burdens of debt, the desolation of ruin
all these are appraised alike in all
lands Here in the United States we
are but freshly turned from the
burial of an unknown American SOL
dier, when nation sorrowed while
paying him tribute. Whether it was
spoken or not, hundred millions of
our people were summarizing the
inexcusab'e cause, the incalculable,
the unspeakable sacrifices, and the
unutterable sorrows, and there was
the ever-impelling question. How
can humanity justify or God forgive!
Human hate demands no such toll
! ambition and greed must be denied it.

MAY FORM NEW PARTY

London, Nov. II. (By the Associ-
ated Press political interests in
England centers on the annual con-
ference of the Unionist party to be
held at. Liverpool next week under
the championship of oLrd Derby.
Political correspondents have hint
ed at a split with the party with the
formation of an independent con-
servative party under the leadership
Of Andrew. Bonar Law, former leader
in the House of Common. Much of the
situation hanges on Mr.. Bonar Laws
attitude toward the Irish peace
negotiations in which he is espousing
listers cause An article In the
Yorkshire post ascribed to Mr..
Bonar Law urges the unionists by
all the pledges in their past are
bound to support Ulster if she re-
fused to make any concessions. In the
event of unionist split it is believed
in some quarters that the bulk of the
party would still follow Premier
Lloyd George and even the Unionists
themselves doubt whether Mr.. Bonar
Law is politically and physically able
to lead a conservative session against
the whole of the Influence Of former
colleagues in the cabinet.

Interested But Not Optimistic
Over Armament Farley

Paris, Nov. 12.-Interest but no un-

tude toward the armament conference
as evidenced by the editorial COM
ments in the morning newspapers
Apparently summing up the French
viewpoint Jacques Bainville. eminent
writer on international" history, re-
marks in the Excelsior:
"There has been many disarmament
conferences the results Of which have
not always answered the hopes Of
their promoters but perhaps the con-
ference called by President Harding
in Washington will be more fortunate
because it is based not only on good
intentions but on positive data"

AT FARLEY
BY NEA Service

by NEA Service
Washington, Nov. 12.-Politics will
play a hand in every deliberation at
the disarmament conferences; will
have say in every agreement. This
is the way politics viii lintrude:
GREAT BRITAIN. The British
delegation represents coalition
or harmony government, many fac
tions of which are threatening to
bolt. Most English are sick Of
armament taxes, but the strong
foreign trade element demands pro-
lection.
FRANCE: Premier BRAND, head
ing the delegation, represents the
anti-militarist party, opposing Glenn
enceau and his mailed first policy.
France wants it's army reduced, but is
more eager to see the reparatiOns col
,lected. BRAND, to make his job good,
must secure an agreement between
Great Britain and America to protect
France against Germany.
ITALY: The delegation repre-
sents ministry without a pro-
nounced foreign policy. But to satisfy
Italians the delegation will have to
regain the prestige Italy lost when
Premier Orlando bolted at Versailles
T JAPAN: The Japanese delegation
will be between two fires-inter-
ests that stand for peace and world
cooperation, and the nobility, militar-
lists and expansionists that demand
Japanese domination of the Pacific
and Orient.
CHINA: This delegation repre-
sents government tottering under
assaults from rebels within and con-
cession-greedy foreigners without.

ten new battleships and six battle
cruisers. One battleship has been
completed. The others are in various
stages Of construction in some cases
from 60 to 80 per cent of the con.
struction has been done. On these Is
capital ships now being built over,
$3.50, 100000 has been spent. Still the
United States is willing in the interest
of an immediate Limitation of naval
armament to scrap all these ships.
Would Destroy Many Ships
Under this plan the proposal says,
there would be Immediately destroyed
of the navies of the three powers sc
capital fighting ships built and build,
ing with total tonnage Of 1875, ,043.
