METHOD IS CALLED
BIG ARMS PROBLEM
Discussions Are Hampered by
SeIf-Interest of Nations,
Admiral Hussey Says.
Ry the Associated Press.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, August s.
The greatest problem In the limitation
of armament lies in the query "how TO
disarm?" Rear Admiral c. L. Hussey,
U. S. NJ, retired. said today in discuss
ing arms limitation before the Institute
of Politics.
Every one believes in limitation of
armament" he said. "The question is
how to do it. The Navy would welcome
limitation OF. armament provided ma
tional security is not endangered. 1t is
that sort of limitation that Britain and
France are seeking; the only sort that
any wise people will sanction.
THE official reports of armament
conferences are discouraging reading.
While 1t may be presumptuous to criti-
cize the methods used in these confer
ences, it is evident that under the aus
pices Of the League or outside the
League these last 10 years of intense ac-
tivity in the interest of the limitation of
ornaments has not borne fruit.
II believe the solution to the problem
lies in going back of ornaments to a
study of the material and moral welfare
Of mankind, to the changing world, the
changes wrought by science and the
evolution of civilization. There we will
get better line on the inherent char
acter of concepts of human relations.
There we may find the answer to our
question how disarm' in considering
another question why arm"
Lack of consideration for the rest of
the world is the outstanding character
istic of all nations in deliberations for
the settlement of international problems,
Admiral Hussey said. In the League and
out, he said, self-interest is the DOM
mating note of discussions and has
hampered their progress. A
DR.. Williams T. Foster, head Of the
Pollak Foundation for Economic Re-
search, addressing the institute on "The
Problem of Sustaining Trade and En-
ployment," advocated the introduction
In every State Legislature of bills look
ing to unemployment relief as an ef-
fective means of dealing with the un-
employment situation.
Public opinion is aroused to the seri-
BUSINESS Of the problem, and will prove
receptive to ideas paving the way to
evolutionary changes for the stabilizing
Of national industrial life," he said.

proximately 1000 miles, allowing
for deviations.
Radio adviceS indicated that DR.

mander, expected to reach Lake
hurst Sunday afternoon.
The ship, which had been averaging
IS miles an hour during the night, had
picked up speed considerably and was
averaging 20 miles an hour this
morning.
She was on a course that would carry
her over the Bermudas on a bee-line
from Gibraltar with the possibility that
she would make her American land
fall in the neighborhood of Norfolk,
Va, and would then swing Northward
as she did on her last trip.
During the day the Zeppelin began
to get in touch with American stations
more frequently. She was first in
direct communication with naval COM
munications at Washington last night
and today was picked up at Chatham,
Macs and rhiIa dnlnIia
All reports from the ship indicated
that the 18 passengers were enjoying
the trip, the Americans being par

tracted by eating or drinking something
danger. he said, in attending public
gatherings Of any kind.
OF the IL other women, who have
contracted the disease, all we're reported
today to be in satisfactory condition.
With the exception of those persons
attending the luncheon there have been

ing to reports received at the White

vices received were to the effect that
the weather last night was delightfully."-
cool and that in spite Of the bad
weather today all were enjoying them
selves.

man OF the Senate finance committee,
who Is to discuss the progress of that
committee in rewriting the Hawley
