BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. Secretary Hughes has exploded his [ to% bombshell. Congress has cheered, and sone home happy. The forelgn dele- gatlons have bowed in polite, if some- what ironical, acquiescence to the methods of “the new dipomacy.” A Wwave of generous enthusiagm and of international good will has swept the country. But now It is Monday. It is ltime to inquire what, precisely, is the eftect of Saturday's session on the situation of the conference. Three main problems confromt the delcgates. They must reach an agree- ment to limit naval armament; they must agree on the far eastern ques- and they must persuade the American people and Senate to accept the sagreements reached. Of these three problems, by far the simplest, in the opinion of most observers, is the limitation of naval armament. Japan has been clamoring for limita- tion for more than a year. Britain Is no loss eager. The United States was setting the pace in the contest, and the others, with their smaller re- sources, were unable to keep up. England and Japan Would Gain. If the race continues, British naval supremacy s doomed, and Japan's finances will be strained to an almost unbearable point. It must be borne in mind, furthe-more, that the greater the proportignal reduction of navie: the greater Japan's relative strength becomes in Asia, where lie its major interests. bl We may safely assume, therefore that any kind of equitable reduction of navies will not only be accepted by Britain and Japan, but accepted with delight, for such a reduction is even more to their interest than it is to ours. Secretary Hughes' proposal has, indeed, been received with deep satisfaction by the other two naval powers. There may be some tech- nical objections; the fact remaining that only the details have now to be worked out. Japan will apparently not only wel- come this American plan; it wiil even Proposé, says rumor, to make the re- duction stiil more drastic by includ- ing naval bases and fortifications in the Pacific—a step which would ef- fectively insure Japan's far eastern activities from any American or Euro- pean interference whatever: for with- out bases fleets are Ineffective, without effective fleets America and Eu{:‘?: are helpless In Asia. = There one little dark clou on this appy horizon. L © to laugh,” one visiting-Eu- ropean exclaimed to me. “Yuu’l"‘ane‘:l is really too funny. 'The ominous far eastern question drops suddenly out of sight. You proesed to do the thing that the British ambassador, Sir Auckland Geddes, has been try- ing for a year to get you to do, and your press hails it as a great blow to the Britiah navy. What a comedy | { Far East Question Pre-eminent. But my European fri end is = taken. It is true that neither Brl’:‘;’?n nor Japan wants to discuss the omi- Dous far eastern question. They are rald of it. They would prefer mere- ly to agree to limit navies and th. go away. But this seems not to be Mr. Hughes' idea. For him the far. eastern question has dropped neither out of sight nor out of mind, Mr, Hughes has never concealed that, his opinlon, the limitation or arm: ment must be entirely contingent on ;‘:lll':r‘u;mml h!n‘ far eastern matters. n one, he intimate: not hnv; the other. SesNshal or the United States to cut navy, without first having procured such an agreement, would be in ef- fect to abandon its far eastern pol- icies. It Is therefors as clear as sunlight that the crux of the con: ference s the far eastern question, and that nnfllnf this all-important ue the world is ignorant now as it wags before the conference open- od. For to discover what the Ameri. can Secretary of State considers fair basis for agreement in this que: tion is for the present apparently im. posaible. - “But, {f you have ‘not, at the. last minute, abandoned your far eastern policy, then your action Saturday is incomprehensible,” say the Europeans. Two Courses Open. ‘The publication, at the outset, of a maximum plan of armament limita- tion does appear in some ways to limit our freedom of action in the far eastern question. It would seem to leave no middle ground. It obliges us to be extremely moderate and concili- atory, or extremely firm. Time will reveal which of these two alterna- tives Mr. Hughes Intends to follow. I have reason to beliave, however, that the Chinese, who were some- what worried, have been reassured at the proper source, and informed that their questions are going to be fully attended to. The third problem—that of persuad. ing the American Senate and people to accept the agreements reached, which must inevitably take the form of treaties, and henoe of a limitation of -govereignty—ig complicated, but iy beginning to clarify. - Seeking learn from Mr. Wilson's misfortunes, President Harding appointed the leaders, respectively, of the democrats und the republcans in the Senate a members of the American delegation. “They think I can actually swing the Gemocratic vote says Senator Un- derwood, with a laugh. But this is not enough. The administration needs public opinion behind it during the conference. gPublic opinion, though alniost unanfmously suspicious of the Japanese, gives every sign of being far less interested in the far eastern question than in the reduction of naval appropriations. There have been prayers in the churches, resolutions voted by organizations of every kind in every part of the country—resolu- tions and prayers dealing not with the open door and the status of Yap nndtManchurlA but with disarma- ment. £ Seek to Arouse Public. The government has been trying for the last few weeks to arouse the pub- lic to the vital importance of the far eastern question, but without much apparent success. What the tountry seems to want above all {s action in the matter of armament limitation. It was, therefore, perhaps good tac- tics for Mr. Hughes to open the con- jference “with a drastic limitations |proposal. Congress, from the gal lerie cered and applauded like | schoolbos The entire nation has applauded. Opinion has fallen solidly into line behind Mr. Hughes. Suppose, then, that a few weeks United States and Japan having both conceded all they felt ithey could and still not having agreed, there should come a deadlock in the far eastern question. Has not the Ameriean government every rea- son to believe that American opinion, fully satisfied as to the sincerity of the administration’s desire - to _d. arm, ;vu!"n.(nu \tselt no less solidly ehind our far eastern policies than it has behind disarmament? Public Opinion May Help. ‘Will not even Japanese and British opinion, tantalized by the prospect of drastic reductions of budgets, brls pressure upon their respective gov- ‘ernments in favor of concessions' to the United States in far eastern mat. ters? These - questions; d to answer now, prove of supreme .import before - the conference is over. In short, it may be said that in the very opening session great and. pe .haps uncqutrollable forces of public opinion have been loosed, both in the problem of limiting armaments and in the problem of getting the ulti- mate agreements accepted. There remains, however, complete darkness with respect to far eastern questions, the crux of g, ‘whole debate, the most obscure and dangerous of all ng | s 3 are perhaps going. to SOME CAPITAL SHIPS LEFT OUT OF HUGHES SYNOPSIS Battle Cruisers snd Others, Com- Ppleted and Under Construction, Not Included. Secretary Hughes' synopsis of the propesed reduction in the American naval building plan did not include a number of capital ships of the United States completed and under construc- tio) These are as follows: Battle crulsers under conatruction: Con lation, Constitution, Ranger., Léxing- ton, Saratoga and United States—six in all—with s dlisplacement of ¢8.500 8.

Members of the French delegation at its headquarters &t the Willard Hotel announced yesterday that Sec- retary Hughes' proposal for the dras- tic reduction of naval armament met with their entire approval and that an officlal announcement of the ac ceptance of the principles laid down would be made tomorrow. The question of land armaments not having been mentioned at the first meeting of the parley has left the French delegates somewhat in the dark, since it is this question that are more interested in than the na question as at the present time France has but seven first line ships. Ho! nce will make any on either land or ea armaments. It is understood that the French have a proposed solution for the reduction of armaments, which has been worked out by their military exports, but that this will not be put forward unless there {s fear of a deadlock between Great Britain, Japan and the United States. Premler Briand of France, leader of the French delegation to the con- ference, yesterday was in consulta- tlon with three of the four American delegates. Elihu Root and Oscar W. Underwood lunched with him 2t the French embassy. Ambassador Jusse- rand and the French minister of the colonies, M. Sarraut, we! pres- ent, The premier was al ted by Secretary Hughes and A nt Sec- retary of State Bliss, and they con- erred for more than half an hour. It is understood that the method of procedure for the next meeting of the delegates wi the chief topic under consideration, though no official state- ment was given out and the delegates refused to comment on the matter. After the meeting with the Ameri- cans the French delegates held a Short: meeting to_discuss the topic| introduced by Secretary Hughes and his associates. Premier Briand and several mem- bers of his party spent the afternoon cruising down the Potomac in the naval yacht Bylph, at the invitation of Becretary Weeks. They went as far down the river as Mount Vernon, but did not have time to disembark there. DR. SMITH SEES PARLEY AS NO WAR‘PREVENTIVE Rector of St. Thomas’. Urges Scrap- ping of Battleships to Lift Burden, But Describes Man as Fighter. Refuting all statements that the present conference on tke limitation of armament {s to prevent future wars, Rev. Dr. C. Ernest Smith, rec- tor of St. Thomas' Episcopal Church, in a sermon last night doclared the object of the conference to be an economic effort to limit armament to such proportions that the people will not be crushed by taxation. Dr. Smith stated that man was In herently a fighting animal, and al. though the prophets of the -Old Tes ment point to & time when wars shall cease, there i3 no such encourage- ment given in the teachings. Emphasizing the need for lighter taxes, Dr. Bmith said: “Everywhere the people are crushed with intoler- able burdens of taxation, and unem- ployment is world wide. Over in Eu- rope one-third of the population is in want and hunger, like gaunt wolf, roams through the land.” ‘Another point Dr. Smith brings out in urging the scrapping of the battle- ships is that they are no longer in need, gases and disease germs having taken thelr place in modern-day war- to | for are. In closing Dr. Smith urges these im- portant results of the conference, namely, the ending of fratricidal strife between the white races, wiping off the ledger all allled debts and the preaching of Christianity In practice and not in name. . $530,000.

The responses, In addition to those printed Sunday, are as follows: HARTFORD COURANT. Secretary of State Hughes has presented to the great nations of the world a workable plan for naval disarmament at once so sim- ple and direct that it {s dificult to see how the governments repre- sented at the congress can fail to ratify at least its major proposals. It {s drastic, but it is workabls, and it will accomplish the results regulred. With a gesture of mag- n'ficent sincerity he showed that the United States was prepared to lead the way and was ready to make the greatest sacrifice. It 18 impossible to believe the confer- ence, even should It desire, would dare reject the proposal. DETROIT FREE PRESS. It well begun is half done, then the world has the right to hope for great things from the Wash- ington conference. President Har- ding struck an exalted but em- phatically practical keynote, when he uttered the phrase “in all sym- pathy, in all honesty and in all honor,” while Mr. Hughes, aston- ishing even the most expectant and utterly confounding the croak- ers, gave the start of u punch that is new in world statesmanship. We hear much of using diplo- macy in business. The American Secretary of State has put business in d'plomaye. Briefly, Mr. Hughes presented the theroem' that the way to stop op- pressive naval armament building is to quit talking and arguing and stop. INDIANAPOLIS STAR. The proposal made by Secretary Hughes at the first session of the conference geta the whole subject of limitation of armament out in the open and disposes of llmlfear that the delegates might quibble and spar in secret without reach- ing a satisfactory conclusion, Sec- ret Hughes has placed our carda on the table. He presents a concrete program for relief from the crushing burden of naval armdment. We are willing to lead the way and our ofter has gone to the people of the world. Those at the conference will not care to g0 back to their countrymen with empty hands, in view of the pos- sibilities embodled in Mr. Hughes statement. The public, of course, can only guess at what has been going on behind the scenes. Mr. Hughes, statement of our program for dis- armament Is described as a bomb- conference table. That is possible, complete surpriae to all around the macy; it is credited with being a shell in the cellar of secret diplo- but does not seem likely. The more reasonable supposition is that those who came to the conference have participated in preliminary diplomatic conversations concern- ing what we hope might be at- tained by the gathering. They may not have had all the det of proposal, but prepared for the substance of what he outlined. PITTSBURGH POST. Whether the United States is to- day in a position of yielding to world sentiment for limitation of armament or of-leading it, matters little from the practical stand- point. It can regain its lost lead- for world peace only to the extent that it returns to the spirit of co-operation and furnishes a practical plan for procedure for any of the existing devices it may prove impracticable. With the United States again in a position of co-ope ng with other nations, after a lapse through partisanship following the armi- tice, the world may well rejoice. Whether the naval holiday pro- posal of Mr. Hughes goes as far as some expected or not, it is & step in the right direction and taken with a directness and force that are impressive. CHICAGO TRIBUNE. Secretary of State Hughes for the United States at the opening of the Washington conference made a dotailed and specific proposal for the reduction of navies and the suspeneion of navy building. Upon this proposal it is wise to wuspend judgment. American are felicitating themselves already that American downright honesty and directness of purpose dished up cold turkey when Eu- ropean diplomacy was prepared- only for & rhetorioal sppetiser. We seem thus to have swept th old world off its feet. European and Asiatic diplomacy generally overreaches ours. If we start in our shitr sleeves we may end in a barrel. America may be candid and Europe devious, but from that it does not follow that the United States will be safe and Europe and Asia peaceful. We are thoroughly convinoed as to the soundness of the principle and now consider only that enthuslasm for a principle may, as it has in the past, commit ' the American people to details which did not ad- vance their ideas and purposes.

NEW YORK, November 14.—Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board -of directors of the United States Steel Corporation, last night expressed hi approval of Secretary Hughes' pro- posal for the limitation of mnaval armament, and declared he believed it would accomplish a great deal of 00d. “I think it was a grand thing to state fully and frankly what ‘th(l country is willing to do,” he said. *I do not think any other country would dare refuse to accept the principle which Mr. Hughes has suggested. I have had an opportunity of talking with two or three prominent Jap: nese today, and they think it is a very fine thing." Secretary Hughes' proposal was characterized as admirable by Wil- liam G. McAdoo, former Secretary of the Treasury, who said, if adopted, it will conaiderably lighten the exi! ing burden of oppressive taxation. “WEAKER NATIONS” INVITED BY SOVIET —_— Russians, Displeased Over Wash- ington Conference, Call Asia Nations to Irkugsk.

John Barton Payne Discounts Japan’s Claims to Expansion. CHICAGO, November 14.—Great re- sults may be expected from the confer- ence on limitation of armament ‘“if a satisfactory solution to the Japan- China-Siberia problem can be reached,” John Barton Payne of Washington, chairman of the executive committee of the American Red Cross and Secre- tary of the Interior under President Wiison, last night asserted in an ad- dress here. » The_density of population in both eat Britain and Belgium," he sald, uble that of Japan, and that dis- pol of the latter's claim that expan- sion is imperative to the eastern em- pire at this time. Jane Addams, chairman of the ‘Woman's International League for Peace’ and Freedom. and another speaker; asserted the Washington con. gerence is the result of public sen ment for such a meeting, “and will need the continued support of the pub~ lle to carry out the program proposed by Secretary Hughes." LATIN AMERICANS URGED TO/FQLLOW CONFERENCE Press Points to Coming Settle- ments of the Pacific Questions. SANTIAGO, Chile, November 13.— The Chilean newspapers devote much space to the opening of the Wash- ington conferance, All comment edi torially and publish portraits of the; leaders of the various delegatiops. La Naclon says that the Latin Amer- fcan nations, especially those border- ing on the Pacific, should follow the dellberations with the closest atten- tion. It declares it to be an admitted fact that President Harding's i{deal of the limitation of armament cannot be _considered except at the price of a definite and satisfactory settlemen of international differenc exlsting on the Pacific. “Diplomatic history,” the paper con- tinues, “shows. that” when the ques- tions concerning the dominlon of the seas were considered, the conflicting interests were reconciled by fixing zones of influence, which meant the regulation of maritime traffic and communications. The decision on this aspect of the question enforces upon the Pacific nations of South America the_ greatest concern. El Mercurio says that President Harding's idea has received universal | approbation. TAKAHASHI ENEMY OF MILITARY GROUP man, though he is close to the Seiyu- kai party of which the late premler was the president. Utaro Noda, min- ister of communications, is expected to succeed Hara as head of the polit- ical organization. Though the Taka- hashi appointment is said to be in response to popular demand, it is be- ilieved that the voice of the people twas expressed by Marquis Salonfi, twice premier and one of the found- ers of the Selyukai. The emperor names the premler, but he is recom- mended by the “genro," or elder statesmen. Prince Yamagata, Mar- quis Salonji and Marquis Matsukata are the “genro.” Radieal Change Forecast, Prince Yamaga eighty-three years old, who fought from the days of the two-sword samural to the modern Russo-Japanese war, en- trenched the general staff in its posi- tion.
