ARMS LIMITATION
GAINS SUPPORT
Business Men of Nation Re-
alize War Is Serious Menace
to American Commerce.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

From all sides evidence is multiply
ing that an unprecedented wave of pop
ular sentiment is building up behind
naval armament. 1t is unprecedented.
not because the demand for peace
comes from the paciflsts, but because
it now is buttressed also by the recog-
milton Of the business world that war
is disastrous and could conceivably
wreck American commerce far more
than 1t did in 1914.
A significant view of the armament
problem and its implications is ex-
pressed by David Sarnoff, vice presi-
dent of the Radio Corporation Of
known to have assisted materially in
the making of the Young plan at Paris
recently. Mr.. Sarnoff was speaking
last night before the Federation of
Jewish Charities.
Wants Defensive PURPOSES Defined.
What are the next steps In the pro-
gram Of peace?" he asked. THE Presi-
dent of the United States and the prime
minister of Great Britain have given
us vision of a world stimulated by a
great moral force. The treaties that
have outlawed war have been accepted
as marking the dawn Of new age. 1t
Is true that we do and must maintain
armament for the contingency of attack
by an aggreSsor nation. Armies and
navies, we affirm, shall be used only
for defensive purposes.
But how shall we define defensive
purposes? Shall we leave it to be de-
cided in the passionate hours of in
famed public opinion? Or shall we set
about to reduce the area of possible
conflict, to diminish the likelihood of
dispute-while We at the same time re-
linQuish no physical guarantees Of our
safety and national security?
Business men must admit that trade
relations can best be carried on in a
peaceful world. Yet there are critics
! who insist that nearly every war has
its foundation in commercial rivalry
and economic friction. II this is so. a
peculiar responsibility rests upon the
business men of the world. We must
recognize what is right and equitable
as between nations, and we must dis
courage those who would flagrantly dis
regard what is fair and just. Economic
| friction has had less attention than dis
| puteS involving national honor. Both
are difficult to resolve. But in recent
years the world has given many exam
pies of self-restraint, which augurs
we'll for the future.
Pay Penalty for Neglect.
I'm Paris recently witnessed from
the sidelines a remarkable demonstra-
ton of the power of broad-gauged bust
ness men when face to face with a
| tangled economic dispute in which, to
be sure, there were many elements OF
national pride.
What America has been able to con-
tribute to the councils of the world,
| first through the Dawes plan and later
through the Young plan, has been n
disinterested service for world peace.
And what American business men can
do the business men OF other rations
can do. For the overt acts that lead to
defensive and aggressive war are rooted
! in the tnjustices and inequities accum-
ulated over the years. We little realize

Opposition to a Government-owned

last night at the Office of Senator Nor
ris, Republican. Nebraska, who insti-
gated the inquiry leading to the Fed

newspaper investments by the Inter-

Government-owned press might be
necessary.
The quotation attributed to Senator
Norris was one actually made by Sen

Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Montana,
commended yesterday that the high pro-

"all-around grab" by already hugely
prosperous industrial interests through
their fiouting of the administrations
solemn pledge that tariff revision
would be limited to justifiable changes"
He charged that powerful corpora

ably large" profits under present tariff
schedules are stalking the committee
for embargo rates behind small manu-
facturers who have fallen behind be-
cause of their inability to meet domes-
tic competition rather than any inflow
of foreign products. Evidence heard by
the subcommittee on glass was cited as
showing that the plea for higher duties
was put in by owners of obsolete plants
as justification for a price-raising new
glass schedule.
