LONDON, Jan. 30(U.S0.-Grea
Britain, yielding to American in
sistence that large capital ships
be retained, today had put up to
the four-power naval conference
plan for specific naval limita-
ton, which the United States,
France and Italy agreed to accept
as a basis for discussion.
Japan withdrew from the ma
val conference several weeks ago.
A Japanese observer was present
today, but did not speak. Should
agreement be reached by the
four powers. Japan would doubt
less be invited to participate and
Russia and Germany might be
asked also to adhere.
The British plan provides that
battleships should have q maxi
mum tonnage Of $4,000 tons,
with possible reduction Of 1000
or 5000 tons. Largest naval guns
would be of 14-inch caliber, a
two-inch reduction of the maxi
mum caliber of the London treaty.
The French, who had hoped
for support from Britain for a
reduction of battleShipS to $1,000
tons. were bitterly disappointed
and will attempt to reduce the
British-American figures. Italy Is
backing France in this.
To placate the French. the
British plan proposes that sub
marines be limited to a maximum
of 1000 tons. Britain previously
favored either total abolition Of
submarines or fixing the maxi
mum at 300 tons.
The, American delegation indi-
Gated tonight that. as a whole,
the British plan, except for q
number of details, is satisfactory
as a basis on which discussion
can be held and an agreement
drawn up.
In addition to capital ships and
submarines. the new British pro
posals include aircraft carriers,
which would be limited to maxi
mum of $4,000 tons. Their maxi
mum tonnage today is $1,000 tons.

Bible Language
From that, our forefathers
wrote into the Constitution. in the
Federated Government and all
our States that the defendant
shall be confronted by the wit
nesses against him; in many
States they use the Bible Ian
guage: THE witnesses shall be
brought face to face with the de

Is that a property right, or a
protection Of the citizen?

of the night calling attention to
the wholesome provisions in the

given you enough to understand
that the only security Of the COM

Too many take the Constitution
as a matter of course, but it's the
only thing that stands now and
has always stood, through keep

amendments were adopted and see
If it's all for property"
One Of the noblest and best
Of men Of England, once, from
time to time, jotted down in his
day-book the laws and policies
that in his opinion ought to be
followed by the Government, as
the best interests of the people.
Later in life, some question arose
that caused the officers to indulge
in their unreasonable Searches
and Seizures" and they found this
book. He was Immediately tried
for treason. quartered and hung.
Our forefatherS remembered
that, so they wrote into the Con-
stitution in its original form that
treason should consist only of
levying war against the United
States. or aiding their enemies;
proven by two witnesses to some
overt act; and therefore a man
could not be charged with treason
for thinking, or writing, or speak
ing; in other words, constructive
treason" could not be charged.
If it could, you and every man
who has criticized the Govern
ment in the past would be now
looking from behind the bars and
I could not be here to make this
speech, and the whole of the
Socialist party would be with us.
They have been criticiZing the
Government for years and they
can only do it under the United
States Constitution. Is that clause
a protection to property" or the
citizen?
I call your attention also to
the fact that one of the most
noble of bishops, known in his
tory as st. Beckett, when years
afterward religion and the con-
troll of religion in England was
changed, Beckett's body was
taken up, tried for treason, be-
headed and burnt, 400 years after
he was dead and gone. That can
not occur in the United States so
long as the present Constitution
is adhered to.
Then, go over and read what
st. Luke wrote in his history Of
the Apostles, known in the Bible
as The Acts, which in truth was
a history of st. Paul and st. Peter.
Read Chapters %, "a and 25
and you will find where st. Paul
said to the army officer who ar
rested him and began to punish
him by one of their methods Of
punishment, by whipping.
He put the question: "Is 1t law
full for you to whip a Roman and
him uncondemned?" meaning can
you punish a man under the
Roman law who is a Roman citi-
zen, until he is convicted?
Our fathers remembered that
and wrote into the original Con-
Stitution that no man should be
punished, except upon conviction
by a jury of his peers, the last
which was borrowed from the
English principle of liberty.
After Paul put that question,
Felix came out and asked Paul:
Are you a Romano"
Paul answered: IT am" Where
