question OF Disarmament
" seems 70 me that the simple
question Is, DO we want disarma :
,nent. II we 40 want 1t then 1t must
os orought ABOUT DF agreements undef
WWnch others reduce their arms also:
"e cannot sacrihce the safety OF
america oy auixotic disarmament OF
ourselves alone.
N9r IS tne matter SO simple ms an
agreed limitation. and ratios Of capital
SHIPS and other weapons. We mus.
ehminatc the alliances OF other nations,
which. IN such agreed combinations,
would again overtop our protection. Far
beyond this, we must secure elimination
OF thG mallgn causes OF friction between
ourselves ana our neighbors before We
can ahord 10 even discuss the reduction
OF our arms.
In consequence. the Administration
has negotiated series Of agreements
when DO eliminate the causes of fric-
tion with our neighbors. which do place
us in position to reduce our nava
strengtn IN common with others and tc
maintain complete defense OF the
American people in any event that may
come to US, and, above all, we start
which are the foundation of nence

TO me, this Is the first effective stel

Tor SUBSTITUTION OK measures OF good VII
tor measures OF force.
Looking at the results solely from
our American point of view, we cal
content ourselves in great accomplish
ments. The jeopardy of war has beel
most assurcdly driven beyond our gen
Grafton. Naval rivalry with Englan,
and Japan has been stopped. with al
the implications, which must follow
from the rivalry.
Tho Anglo japanese Alliance ha
been abolished.
''The points of friction between our
selves and Japan have been settled. Th
major differences between China an
Japan have been adjusted. The tide O
foreign aggression on the frontiers o
China has been turned back. The ope,
door has been made effective.
THE world could not 90 on in rival
ries in implements to kill, rivalries tha
were based on growing political irrita
tions, without entering upon the job o
killing.
