BEW YORK, February 7.—Assert- ing the Washington armament con- ference had contributed largely to a victorious peace without which eivili- zation could not endure, Arthur James Balfour, head of the British delegation, today sailed with his party on the Aquitania. Smiling as broadly as a schoolboy At the prospect of returning home. Balfour issued a formal statement ' just before the ship cast off, expres- #ing the British delegation’s apprecia- tion of the cordiality of their recep- tion In America and their satisfac- tion at the outcome of the conference. Mr. Balfour's Statement. The statement follows: “The kind- ness with which ‘I have been wel-| comed and the unbounded hospitality extended to my colleagues of th British empire delegation and to my- self. would, in any case, have ren- dered our visit to the United States most memorable event. “But 1 carry away recollections of even greater interest.

Plans for raising this amount by| selling stock aml bonds in the cor-) poration which will be organized to| eorect the structure were gone over and approved. The enthusiasm dis- pluyea at the launching of the cam- paign last night left no doubt in the minds of Robert N. Harper, chairman, and Charles J.

It is the plan of the committee mem- | bers to secure subscriptions from citi- zens of the District of Coiumbia in| multiples of $100, half of the amount | terprise and the remainder being first mo.igage bonds on the property. It emphasized that while subscrib- ers will recognize civic duty as the paramount incentive to aid in the project, every person who gives his money will receive a return on his In- Vestment. ! o The drive for funds will continue for a week.
