Objections to Bill

Asserts.
Washington, Jan. Is R-Senator
Walsh OF Montana, in a speech be-
fore the senate today outlining his
reasons for opposing the cruiser bill.
said those who favor building the 1e
ships have in, mind the possibility,
first, of q war with Great Britain.
and second, of war with Japan.
He declared no one has indicated
that the United States navy. as 1t
now stands, was not adequate to
meet results arising out of contro-
versies with any other countries save
the two mentioned.
He was opposed to the bill, he de-
clared, because he believed 1t would
interfere with any attempt Of the
United States to obtain further
agreements for the curbing Of naval
armament.
The cruiser bill, the senator de-
olared, contemplates that England
will continue her 't aditional prac-
tice" of intercepting and searching
neutral vessels in time Of war. and
this contemplation. he added, Will
lead to difficulties.
II am welded to the idea Of parity
as between the United States and
Great Britain" Walsh asserted, but
l should like to see that parity at
tanned by scaling down. rather than
by building up"
Senator Walsh declared, however,
that in his opinion there was no In
congruity in approving the kellogg
treaty and in passing the cruiser bill.
How Views Differ
'The sponsor Of the cruiser bill
in the senate" he said. 'are no less
attached to the cause of peace than
are the rest of us who may vote
against the measure. They equally
harbor the hope Of an agreement
for the limitation of naval arma-
ment. The difference is a difference
of view as to how most certainly to
arrive at an agreement. fair and
just to the United States.
mot q few of those who will sup
port the bill take that course, con-
vinced that by SO doing they aid in
bringing about a conference and in
getting satisfactory results from it..
and that to defeat the bill will en-
courage the belief abroad that there
Is no purpose on the part Of our
government in any event to build.
or that should any purpose be en-
tertained by the executive branch 1t
can be circumvented through the
spontaneous or melted opposition Of
the congress.
Il confess that my disposition
was at first to support the bill,
sharing the belief that to proceed
to build would lead to an accord.
but on reflection. have convinced
myself that another effort to agree
may bring results. and I am eager
that the trial should be made"
