Officers Ask Only For
Navy Powerful Enough
To Defend Nation

As result of the numerous items
appearing in the daily press regarding
the attitude of naval officers in gen
eral with reference to a reduction in
naval armament and the position on
that subject taken by members of the
naval delegation to the Geneva Com
ference in 1927. Admiral Hilary p.
Jones, y. S. Navy, who was head Of
the naval delegation to the Geneva
Conference gave an interview on
the subject to the press recently. This
IS the first interview that Admiral
Jones has ever given to the press
and is as follows:
There seems to be very wide
spread opinion in our country that
naval officers are fundamentally on
posed to any movement looking to the
reduction and limitation of arma-
ments. Such an attitude of mind on
the part of the general public is wholly
unjust to naval officers and tends to
discredit US in our earnest efforts
to keep our national defense forces
at the level that we honestly consider
necessary for national security Nev-
ertheless, we are anxious that that
level shall be fixed by international
agreement at the lowest point COM
patible with safety. We would be
grossly negligent of our duty if we
did not keep in mind always the de-
tense Of our country and its enor
nous commercial interests spread over
all the seven seas, interests which are
now equal to and will soon surpass
those of other nations. We have an
inalienable right to parity in naval
ornaments with the strongest sea-
power in order that we may not be
placed in position of inferiority to
any nation.
With the sympathetic help and CO.
operation of my naval associates I
have worked increasingly since the
first meeting Of the Preparatory Com
mission for the Disarmament Confer
ence, held in Geneva in 1926, to find
some fair basis of agreement for the
limitation of ornaments, and | am
sure that am speaking the mind
of all thinking naval officers when
! say that the Navy desires a limita-
tion that will be equitable to all con-
cerned and will not jeopardize what
we consider absolutely necessary to
our national defense.
ION several occasions in Geneva
representatives Of other countries
have spoken to me of the great wealth
and power of the United States and of
our consequent ability to build up and
maintain ornaments, in contrast to
conditions in their own countries. My
reply to such observations was that
while | fully recognized that we were
a wealthy country and could afford
to build up ornaments, if necessary,
our people did not want to spend their
money in that way; that they pre-
ferred to spend it on schools, good
roads and even on travel in Europe
rather than on huge ornaments. /
further assured them that we did not
come to Geneva with any idea of hold
ing the big stick of our wealth over
any country in the question of arma-
ments, but that, on the contrary, we
Western news and the Libby times. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1920-1933, 1929-10-17

were honestly trying to reach agree
ments that would reduce to a safe
minimum expenditures on the upbuild-
ing and maintenance of ornaments.
This IS the attitude of mind Of all ma
val officers who have really given the
matter any thought, for they, no less
than their fellow citizens, have at
heart the well-being of the country.
at must always be remembered,
however, that there is a minimum
below which we can not afford to go,
because our geographical position i'm
poses upon us the necessity of carry
ing on operations in far distant wat
ers. If we should go below that mini
mum we would be unable to keep any
vessels operating in those distant
waters. Above that irreducible mini
mum the question of the relative
strength of naval armamerfts becomes
a matter for considering and agree
ment. At disarmament conferences it
has been the earnest effort Of all rep
resentatives of the United States, ma
val as well as diplomatic, to bring the
level of that relative limitation as low
as possible, but we have maintained,
and believe few in this country will
dispute it, that we have a right to
equality with the strongest sea pow
err and that we can not accept by
agreement a position of inferiority
to any power.
AT the Geneva Conference in 1927
as a result of the studies of the gen.
eral board of the Navy, our delega-
tion proposed comparatively low
level of naval ornaments and further
stated that the United States would
be willing to go as low as the most
powerful nation on the sea would
agree to go. Since that conference the
Navy has not changed its attitude Of
mind and still is anxious that some
