Lecturing Monday night at the Com
munity house on Church street before a
good sized audience that listened to him
with the closest attention Hon. Tslcott
Williams, dean of the Columbia School
of Journalism, declared that the disarm-
ament conference at Washington had
accomplished more than had been con-
sdered possible and had three import
ant achievements to it's credit in the
agreement upon the 10-year naval pro-
granme, the expression of the attitude
of the nations towards the size of ar
mics, and the way each nation had been
able to bring its case before the world.
This was the second in, the lecture
course under the auspices of the Broth
erhood of the United Congregational
church, Mr.. Williams taking the place of
johns Kendrick Bangs, who was to have
lectured but is now seriously i'll at At
lantic City
In introducing the speaker, President
E. N. Gibbs of the Brotherhood express
ed the regret felt at Mr. Bangs illness,
and Mr. Williams also referred feeling
~ to the humorists sickness, but said
the reports in the last 4S hours were CIV
ing hope.
Proceeding to his lecture upon, The
Washington Conference and Its Future,
the Columbia college dean said that we
are gradually beginning to see the prob
lem as it is. All nations can make war
but the only one to bring peace Is the
one strong enough to make peace. At
| ter years of study to prevent war it had
come to be seen that the most import
| ant thing in the world was to bring the
! nations together. This was tried in the
Pan-American congress, where we tried
-
we desired their good and not theil
| goods. But the small nations made the
| congress a practical failure by their at
titude
! We in this country are all descendant:
| of peoples who have turned their ba =
| on Europe. When In 1920 we were askec
/ to turn around, we refused and kept our
| backs turned on Eurone Nothing coulC
| be worse than the Versailles cevenan
than the MA who drew it, we declared
The fundamental difficulty at Yer
4 sailles was that they treated all ma
| tons, large and small, alike. You can
| not have small nations and large NEE
| on the same basis. It is a faFlacy tina
/ small nations in a parliament shall
| have equal powers with the large. I
| will be inevitable that such a parlia
| ment will become union of small
states and that he large nations vii
find other means Of expressing them
selves.
The United States is the only big ma
ton to treat smaller nations justly t
be their guide and never their conquer
or. In this connection Mr.. William
said he made no exception in the cas-
of Mexico for the country that had bee
