a compilation of newspaper opinion
which, the paper declared, repre- :
sented striking unanimity in favor
of radical disarmament.
The hope that the United states
and Great Britain. in their next naval
estimates. would provide for real re-
ouirements only, was expressed by
Viscount Grey of Falloden. British
foreign minister from 1905 to 1916, III
a speech at Plymouth.
Europe is sinking into an attitude
of armed expectancy. Lord Rother-
mere warned in an article in the
Evening News
Action Called Overdue.
"a comprehensive public announce
ment in favor Of disarmament by the
prime minister would be welcome and
seems a little overdue, a speclai
message from Field Marshal ROBERT
son to the Daily News concluded.
The Daily News symposium repre-
sented the recent pronouncements OF
newspaper proprietors and news
organization heads. The paper de-
scribed these as thing OF immedl-
ate significance and national impor-
tance"-namely, that a large section
of the British press had come forward
boldly i'm the past week in favor OF
interna tional disarmament.
The papers represented were the

that there should be rivalry between
the United States and Great Britain. :"
Eiscount Grey said THE Geneva con-
ference failed because Of rivalry due
to the doctrine of parity between the
United States and Great Britain The
two nations will soon be building fleets,
not so much for requirements as for
prestige"
Lord Rothermere. In his article
headed After Nine Years." declared
that Europe was sinking into an atti-
tude of armed expectancy exactly simi
lar to that of 1914. 1t was the duty
of every government to give some as
surance that the future would not
