speaks of Imperialistie France"
 Favored Washington Treaty

As to the Washington treaty itself tho senator said, q was favorable tC the treaty. because in it l saw tn, possibility Of limiting the fatal rac' of armaments, but the French doe urine was unfairly represented there Gin Washington by the demand foI l capital ships, the error coming from NJ, Briand's upfamiliarity with the subject"
 Discussing what he termed the | necessity Tor a new international naval conference, he pointed out that there are many clauses concerning submarines which would be re-writ- ten," he continued;
 While France would never repeat the inhumanity of the German sub. marine commanders, 1t Is certain that the commanders should be entitled to | all the rights of prisoners of war il captured. Then, If 1t were understood that no commercial ship should be armed, 1t would also be agreed that none would be subject to attack. In the new conference the position of submarines and airplanes should be safeguarded
 Frances Defense
 To-day France Is obliged to remain armed because of one of the greates, injustices in history, namely, the with. drawal of the guarantees given her in the Versailles Treaty. The French people would ask nothing better than to lay down their arms and live hap oily and peacefully. Let the Allies guarantee us freedom of the seas and peace on land and we will dis arm.
 Better still, if the Allies will frl- low proposal for general disarma- ment of all the worlds fleets and re- place them with an international one, We shall be the first to agree to let the United States furnish to this in- ternational fleet 10 ships. England 10, France six and Italy six. Then the world will have peace, and not until then.
 If l spoke English l would go to the United States to outline to the people this road to liberty. Let me give warning that the peoples of the world are strongly set against any more wars. The governments and the bankers do not hear, but there are voices rumbling around the world de- manding peace, and woe to those who cannot or will not listen.
 Let us create, while there is time a real League of Nations. The present one is useless because it is unarmed. Arm a new one, and it can command peace.
