ENGLAND IS READY FOR DISARMAMENT
Macdonald Would Welcome Con- ference Called by Other Nations
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 London. April i6.-Prime Minister Macdonald. responding today 10 a speech in the house of commons by Major General J. F.. T.. Seely, former president of the air council, who ad vocated that the premier call an :n- ternational conference for air disarm- amcnt. declared he would welcoine an invitation bv any other power to take up the whole question of armaments.
 The premier said he had at the ack of my miud-and not very far at the back-tho intention that as soon as we have cleared away some of the present difficulties in Europe we must face quite seriously this question of armamcnts. not only in the air but all other forms of arma- ments."
 He added that if he felt there was tho least chance of receiving well come should he make such ap- breaches he was prepared 10 do it.
 This statement evoked cheers from the house.
 ITO put il the other way" contin- hcd the prime minister, "I am sure the whole house is with me when I say that if any invitation is extended to me by any other power to help bring about such an arrangement my door is open to that invitation. "l would like it 10 be general. IL is of the greatest importance that there 1 should be no reason for q misunder- standing--not merely no reason for quarrclinE but no reason for a mis- undcrstanding-between France and ourselves. It is most important that that should be 80.
 But as the house knows. there are other powers taking part in this un- fortunate air race that has already be- gun. and it would be far better if we could manage to get a sort of Wash ington agrecmcnt--not merely a bi- lateral agreement. but multilatcral agreement so that France.

April 16.---Representa- appeared today before joint hearing Of senate and house subcommittees 10 urge legislation to give military chap lains tho same opportunity for ad- vanccmcnt as is afforded officers in the medical dental and veterinarian corps and to increase their ratio 10 one for each 500 men. Bishop Charles II. Brent Of the western New York diocese of the Protestant Episcopal church who serv- ed as chaplain of the American ex- peditionary force in France was se- lected 10 present the views generally of the churches. Catholic and Jewish leaders as well as practically all Protestant organizations have cndors- ed the proposal as sponsored by the general committee of army and navy chaplains of the federal council of churches.
 Dr. Charles s. MacFarland, general secretary of the federal council who holds the rank of major in the officers reserve corps explaining the bill said the proposal was merely a request for removal of "all determinations against chaplains," and 'an adequate chaplain ministry for enlisted men and officers of tho army" No chap laSns arc assigned to three of the five general Hospitals he said and 25 posts with garrisons ranging from 100 10 1924, also are without chaplains while many of the larger stations have only one when they should have two and three each.''

mainly a, psychological problem. What the poor diplomats have got to do is not only 10 meet public opinion, but to
 meet the smaller body of sane men who really know what the real prob lem of security is, and to get the rep rescntatiyes of every nation concerned to take wise steps and explain those steps to their own people, so there may be an international feeling of security which will open the door 10 the arrangement General Secly indi- cated.
 Al this is matter 10 be consid- cred in detail. and inquiries will have
 to be made. I say without reserve and with all my heart that ] am eX- coedingly glad the question has been
 raised. and it will be great pleasure
 to mo if I can. with the hearty CO.,
 operation of all sections Of this house
 as I a insure can--do something to advance tho intention indicated in General Secly's speech"
