HOUSE AND § UPSET CO ‘Adjournment Delayed at Opening Arms| ATE MEMBERS NCE PROGRAM Session as Delegates Are Called Upon The members of the Senate and Fouse, sitting In the galleries of Continental Memorial Hall during the opening session of the conference on limitation of armament yesterday, up- sct the prearranged plan of proceedure, which ordained that none of the visit- ing missions should be heard yester- day. When Secretary Hughes, as presid- - dng .officer of the conference, sought 1o adjourn the session, after the ap- pointment of committees on program had been concluded, a shout for “Briand,” “Briand,” arose in the gal- leries, with the senators leading in the disturbance if it may be called wi aided and abetted by the members o the House. In the twinkling of an eye ‘the plan for an immediate ad- journment had vanished, and Secre- tary - Hughes was presenting _the French premier. Thereafter, e of the foreign missions was heard from. Grateful for U. S. War Ald. M. Briand spoke in French, with the ringing voice and eloquence for which he is famous. When he had completed he was loudly applauded, and the in- terpreter quickly translated his re- marks as follow g 2 When my country received the invitation of the President of the republic of the United States to be yepresented in this conference my . country immediately answered ‘Pres- - My country was animated first of w1l by a feeling of gratitude, of un- Sorgettable gratitude, because of the {inks that unite the Republic of the "nited States and my country. It was ®lso animated by her personal aspi- rations toward peace, and her eager desire to associate herself with any ction which could Insure, consolidate, end, as far as possible, establish final Peace in the world. ‘When my country was struggling mgainst fearful odds; when in this te Tible war France felt herself weaken- ing through the blows that were dealt her; when her life and liberty, and I might say the liberty of the world, were attacked and “wére, at stake, the great Republic of the Tnited States did not hesitate to sénd mcross the ocean millions of boys to share with us the same dangers on the battlefields of France. The United States has had a powerful share, to- gether with our other allies, in saying the independence and life of my coun- try. Therefore, having won the war Rfogether, we for ourselves cannot re- main deaf to the eloquent appeal that was addressed to us, in order to win Ppeace together. “In this conference France has a particular situation, as our American friends have been Wwilling to recog- nize—that however heavy and heart- rending may be our preoccupation, however threatening may be the dangers that surround us and are so very near to us, France, with all her will and with ail her heart, wants to find out with you the best means to Jimit these costly armaments. “France has already taken steps in this direction, and we shall let you know avhat we have done, and we are Teady to go to the end, because you can look at the history of France and You will find she has never been actu- ated by any spirit of conquest. Dur- ing fifty years of unbroken peace that followed & _cruel war, although France still felt the sore wound bleeding on her side, and I think you know. gen- tlemen, with what injustice that war had been carried on, yet France turn- ed a deaf ear to all provocations and to all challemrges, and eaeh time that it was possible 8o to do France re- sorted to arbitration with the great- est pleasure. Sacrifiees for Peace. “Tomorrow, gentlemen, the last war ‘being #@ended, France, which has known nothing but wars, which has witnessed the misery of people of our respective nations shedding their blood on the same ground—I think I-am allowed to say _that more than any other country France has but feelings of horror for war and noth- ing but love of peace. If it is possible to secure the security which she is entitled to expect, if it is only a ques- tion of making sacrifices, France is Teady to consent. “Here with our friends we shall speak heart to heart, and, looking into each other's eyes, we shall tell you in what situation we find our- selves, and we shall let you know all we can do. France has come here for that purpose, and we thank you, Mr. President, for having invited us here in spite of certain poisonous propaganda_in which you have never believed. You are all convinced that France has never been a country of greed and conquest. France has defended her liberty, and I think. at the same time the liberty of the world, and if the necessary precau- tions are taken, in_order to insure her life and safety, France, like you, gentlemen, is ready to say ‘Down arms.” Cries of “Tokugawa’ and “Japan” %arose as soon as the interpreter had completed the translation of M. Briand's address. The Japanese prince, speaking in English said: “The Japanese delegation is happy 2o feel that the presidency of this im- portent conference has now been placed in the hands of a statesman who enjoys the respect and confidence of the whole civilized world. “All humanity is interested in the great purpose for which this meeting has been called.

Signor Schanzer of the Italian dele- gation was the next speaker. He, too, spoke in English, saying. ‘Mr. Chairman and gentiemen of the conference, may I be allowed to ex- press only in a few words the senti- ments of great pleasure and satisfac- tion with which we of the Itallan delegation have listened to the noble address of the chief of this great re- public, and to the highly Interesting and fristructive declarations made by you, Mr. Chairman. “We have heard the voice of a great Dpeople calling the other peoples to a work of civilization and human prog- ress. 1 am happy to state that Italy can accept without reservation the great lines of your program and the sentiment by ‘which it is inspired. The calling of the conference, which has in view the high ideal of creat- Ing a solid foundation for the main- tenance of peace in the world, has found in Italy the most favorable and sympathetic reception. Italy did not provoke the war, but entered the war when justice and historical interest required it. It has fought strenuously side by side with the allied and asso- ciated nations to victory, enduring the hardest sacrifices of life and wealth. Today Italy is one of the foremost influences for peace in the world.- It has nothing to ask-of any- body and nothing to fear. There Is no reason for conflict in our nation, which wishes only to proceed along the way of its economic and financial reconstruction in good harmony with all other nations in safeguarding the prestige of the Italian name in the world. Ready to Co-Operate. “Italy has no imperialistic tenden- cies of any kind, even though it is conscious of its glorious past and its mission of civilization for the future. Owing to its traditions and to the polftical doctrines of its most eminent writers-and thinkers and to the men- tal and moral character of its people, Italy feels that it is capable of co- operating znd is ready to co-operate effectively and loyally with the ideals which your President and you pro- pose to attain {n this conference and to give its full contribution to what- ever measures may. be considered useful to guarantee the world against the dangers of war. No War,.no ma ter how far remote ‘it m our boundaries, can leave us indif- ferent either for ethfcal or for eco- nomic reasons. A new war would be even more frightful than ‘the great war from which we have just emerged. A new war would be an economic disaster without equal for all peoples. The economic conse- quences of a new war in other parts of the world, endangering_ the Indus- trles and the food supplies of all countries, might mean the unemploy- ment of millions and millions of men and misery and hunger for mankind. We are, therefore, strongly in favor of butting an end to the competition ents, and we have revealed these tendencies of ours before today. In fadt, we have done more than this by actualy reducing, without waiting for international agreements, our land and naval armaments in the greatest possible measure. - ‘Mr. Chairman, the history of this last half century of the United States of America offérs to the other peo- ples a great example of how R is possible to maintain a permanent peace amangst millions and millions of men scattered in a great number of soverelgn states and spread over an extremely vast territory, which is of {tself an entire world.

In the center is Aristide Briand, leader of the delegation. ’ Left to D. C, x 3 ¥ v right: Ambassador Geddes, Sir gratification that this meeting of the nations has been called. It is convinced that the present is an auspicious time for bringing into accord the political and_economic interests of the powers in the Pacific. That the invitation to participate in this gathering should have come from the great American nation, and that the sessions are to be held jin its Capital city, is a source of addi tional gratification to the Chinese peo- ple. They and their government will cordially co-operate in bringing to suc- cessful conclusion the work of the con- fererice. “We are all anxious that results bene- ficial to the world shall crown the work of this conference. Mr. chairman, with you gulding the meetings of the con- ference, we feel confident that this end will be reached.” , Jonkheer Dr. H. A. Van Karnebeck, head of the Netherlands delegation, (speaking in English) said: “Mr. Secretary: 1 am glad to have the honor tg,say a few words, because I want to take advantage of this oppor- tunity to thank the American govern- ment in the name of the Dutch for the invitation which has been extended to my government, the government of which I have the honor of being a mem- ber, to participate in the deliberations of this conference on the subject of Pa- cific. questions. My country has felt the honor which the United States has done 1o her, and we have appreciated it very | much. We have also understood the limitations which the invitation con- tains. Holland is not a mdlitary factor in the world’s politics, and it does not pretend to be. It is a country where two great peace conferences have been held, and although we feel that the well known words which are written under the coat of arms of the House of Orange—1 Will Maintain'—apply equally to our colonial empire, this country Yas always been making for peace, and I can tell you, Mr. Chair- man, that if there is a Country where the hearts of the people now beat nd f not only with hope but also with confi- dence, it is Holland. “As to the Pacific questions, Mr. Secretary, we have been for three cen- turies in_the Pacific, d today exer- dcise territorial rights over fifty mil- lions of people and have the responsi- It is enough to show you, Mr. Secretary, the depth of the interest we have in these de- liberations. If in a modest way, by suggestion or in any method, we can be of any use to this conference, we shall be glad to do it. And let me now tell you that the heart of my country is open, and itis due to the initiative of the United States of America; and if there is a country that will be happy if the other coun- tries succeed in bringing about great things, it will be my country. The Portugese minister spoke in French, which was interpreted as fol- s “Mr. Chairman and Members of the Conference: 1 can say no more than to express the deep sympathy that the nation I represent has in the laudable objects that have brought this con- ference together. There is but one foe to the full achievement of these ob- . national egotiem. Should na- tional egotism tend to lead us astray, let us remember that great-as is the power of the governments of the still is that of the submerged millions whose every feeling was outraged by the intolerable anguish enfrered dur- ing the greater war, and who will call ue strictly to- account should we fall through our deliberations to lead them at \least one step nearer to a state of enduring peace.” - The stage setting of the opening conference in Continental Memorial Hall, while beautiful in the extreme, was such as to give a feeling of real and friendly co-operation. The dele- gates of the nine nations participat: ing, while they occupied in truth “the seats of the mighty.” were not far removed from the spectators. was a lack of any aloofness on their part. They moved about familiarly, hobnobbing with each other and with old friends among the advisory com- mittee of thg United States and the foreign advisors. The meeting hall is beautifully pro- portioned, and all the spectators had an excellent and intimate view of the proceedings. In this respect, at least, the meeting was vastly different from the sessions of the peace conference at Versailles, where the hall was long and narrow, high ‘vaulted, to be sure, but causing a craning of the neck if the spectator happened not to be in the first few rows. Proceedings Dignified. The proceedings of the opening meeting _were conducted with the utmost dignity, but with the sim- plicity and lack of pomp for which America stands. There was no “fuss and feathers.” The meeting was con- ducted in a business-like manner, which augurs well for early achieve- jment. . Although it had been decided in ad- vance that the foreign missions . would make no reply to.the address of Presi- dent Harding, or to that of Secretary Hughes at the opening session, when the galleries insisted upon hearing from them, none of the diplomats was at a loss. In fact, several of those Wwho spoke read their addresses, which indi- cates that the delegates belleve in pre- paredness, even though they may favor a limitation in armaments. This same preparedness, incidental- 1y, calls to mind_an incident of a few days ago. Secretary Hughes at & con- ference with the newspaper men, an- nounced that the conference would, at its first meeting, elect a presiding officer who would deliver an address. The Secretary, with becoming mod- esty, refrained from saying what was generally known, that he would be the selection for presiding officer. " All Prepared to Speak. One enterprising correspondent sug- gested that the. delegate selected to preside, since he would be expected to address the conference, might feel a desire to prepare his address in ad- vance. “Oh,” said Mr. Hughes, quick as a flash, “I think all the delegates will be prépared to speak.’ . In the press section at the confer- ence were not a few men who have world that we frepresent, far greater|been prominent in the political circles of the various nations, among them Col.
