Viscount Robert Cecil. who kicked
ovNr the traces in the House of Lords
this week with an attack on the Brit

ably will be able to prevent an arma-

and Great Britain.
The rebel lord" as he frequently

postpone the building of two of the
three cruisers scheduled to have been
laid down this year.
There are three influences which
will help Eiscount Cecil to prevent
the building race that seemed newt
able after the failure ut Geneva.
Need for Economy.
The first is Great Britain's need for
economy During the first six months
of the British fiscal year-Aprll to
September 30--there was budget
deficit Of c 56.170, 900. While much
of this will be made up during the sec

joint responsibility for maintaining
the peace of the world.
Balfour's Opinion.
In that sense the question is not
primarily one for technical experts,
but for statesmen. Lord Baifour
agrees that the breakdown was due
largely to the lack of a preliminary
exchange of ideas between the states
men of the two countries, but he is
confident that both sides realize this
now, and that the Geneva conference,
though interrupted. has not ended. He
refuses to believe that two such rea-
sonable nations will permanently allow
minor differences to obstruct an
agreement which both desire, and
thus obstruct the peace which the
world needs.
THIS Is fairly representative of
public comment in regard TO the
whole controversy.
