By Radio to The Star. LONDON, November 19.—England feels that the Washington confer- ence is well' begun. It has lifted the question of arma- ment from the arena of academics to the region of reality. Previous experience along this line had been somewhat sobering, for in view of the nibbling efforts and meager re- sults of the league of nations, news- paper editors had pitched their notes in a minor key and public opinion had beem prepared for the worst. Even Lord Robert Cecil was doubt- ful, and Sir Donald McLean, on be- half of the liberal party in com- mons, had told us to expect but little of the American gathering. The at- mosphere had been' charged with timidity, but already the proceedings at Washington have revived hopes which had been chilled by a lack of faith. U. 8. Ear Close to Ground.

PARIS, November 19.— The Wash- Ington conference is being followed with intense interest by French pub- lic opinion. Of course, as the con- ference is just beginning, no con- clusive judgments are possible. But let me give some first impressions, which naturally may be subject to modifications as events develop. We find our American friends firm in the same ardent desire they had three years ago to insure to humanity & better lot. We loved them for that :(ler the armistice, ana we love them denburg: “The lands that were Ger- man must be German again. ‘That is what you must éternally remind our German youths.” But there are the questions to be asked concerning the Washington conference. Will not the reduction of the number of ships for ten years prove illusory un the agreement is_applied to shipyards and unless a method of surveillance i8 provided? Will the Anglo-S rejected such surv cept it toda: Problem of Other Nations. The Hughes plan establishes the relative strength of three navies. But others exist, which, nevertheless meet graphical necessitie the Fiench and Italfan navies in the Mediterranean. These countries can never qverlook the Mediterranean problem, so we must have details as to this befors 'we can give a final answer as to ‘the Ailantic and the Pacific, sald in me «pare a world lite will worth living.” France applauded. When P dent Harding says, “Humanity cries out for relief,” Fran applauds no less, for none has suffered more than she.

PARIS, November 17.—Herbert A. I. Fisher, member of the council of the league of nations of Great Brit- ain, announced in today’s session’of the council meeting here that Great Britain was preparing to negotiate a treaty with Prince Feisal, king of the Irak region of Mesopotamis, defining the relations of the British govern- ment as mandatory power to the new kingdom. The treaty. he said, will be based on the principles announced by the king himself in his accession speech, during the course of which he sald the freedom of religion and worship and the “equity of commercial deal- ings with foreign countries” would be assured. The treaty, however, Mr. Fisher said, will secure the control of the foreign relations of the Irak re- gion to the British government. The kingdom of Irak, which in- cludes virtually all of Mesopotamia, is one of the territories covered by the A class mandates which are still to be approved by the league council, and concerning ~ which the United States government recently notified the council that it must have a volce. —_— AMERICAN RELIEF FEEDS 400,000 RUSSIAN KIDDIES Though Hampered by Soviet’s Red Tape and Imeficiency, Work is Progressing.

The industrial leaders who formulated this plan of taking over the government public work are not blind to the signs of the times.
