Dr. John A.

His address today was before the fourth annual conven tion of the District Chapter of the International Federation of Catholic Alumnae at the New Willard Hotel this morning.

Dr. Ryan declared that a large part of the opposition to the pro- possd measure is brought about by the feeling that Congress will carry such a measure too far.

Another reason for opposition on the part of many Catholics is the ifeeling that those who advocated the amendment are against them i know this is not true. for 1 helped frame the bill” declared Dr. Ryan. “We American Catholics are much too prone to nurse an inferiority com- plex and to get dominated with the psychology of persecution, and this, I think, interferes with our own in- terests. We are not compelled look all legislation, but only in some occa- sional bills,” declared Dr. Ryan, who [said that this attitude prevents Cath- jolles joining with non-Catholics to work for matters concerning the gen- eral welfare. “We are thus a class apart. and stigmatized as a class ‘apan," declared Dr. Ryan | Act om Rights | “We must, of course, defend our rights, we must study legislation as citizens and from a civic point and then act if there is anything against us.

C., THURSDAY, ARMS PARLEY BELIEVED TO REST ON ATTITUDE TAKEN BY FRANCE Weeks, Perhaps Months, May Elapse Before Feelers Will Bring Definite Summons for Limitation Conference—Dawes Plan Helps Move. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Several weeks, perhaps months, may elapse before the practicability of another conference of powers to 1mit armament may be determined. The exchanges of opinion now go- ing on in various foreign capitals have as much to do with the Kind of limitation that may be deemed ac- ceptable as with the date and pre- liminaries.of such a conference. Although' the Unitad States Gov- ernment began sounding out the d ferent governments during the sum- mer of 1921, it was not for six or seven weeks later that a decision was reached to issue formal invita- tlons. No nation likes to be put in the position of rejecting an invita- tion to an armament conference, so “feelers” are put out, and if enough countries respond, then official Invi- tations are issued. Competition Causes Trouble. is not the existing strength so as the striving to outdo each other which makes all the trouble in handling the reduction in arma ment Broadly speaking. the last Washington conference was hitterly criticized by naval critics as leaving the problem only partially solved. Battleships and cruisers may be Him- ited in size and number, but of what avail is that if one nation bullds up an enormous auxiliary with mer- chant craft and lighter vessels. Sub- marines are a powerful weanon of modern warfare, but their corstru.- tion was not restricted by the Wash- iugton conference. France at that time was at logger- heads with Great Britain on a num- ber of European questions 1nJ re- fused to agree to a limitation of submarines Rather than jeopardize the cut in capital ships, which al-| ready had been agreed upon, the con- | ference went ahead and expressed the hope that at some future time the limitation of other craft might be considered. Dawes Plan Helps Move. The conversations proceeding at the moment are not unlike those which have been going on from time to time since 1921, but America always found that the further reduction of armament was viewed through the eves of possible conflict as a direct result of the unsett'ed German situa- WEEKS FACES QUIZ ON VARIANCE FOUND IN AIRCRAFT DATA (Continued from First Page.) 1t general was informed by the naval| authority that in the event of hos-| tilities the latter would take over the city of Honolulu, and the Army officer was sald by Gen.

He de- lared during the war he found an ‘extraordinary lack ofgnowltd.e of aviation in the General Staff, and that the staff had entirely neglected the possibilities of aviation.” He declared it is his opinion that every officer of the staff should wear wings, just as they wear spurs today. There is a lack of sympathy for aviators on the part of the general staff, continued Senator Bingham, and he cited the opposition raised by the | War Department to the continuation of flight pay for Army alrmen. In Congress, however, the clvilian and public had sympathy for the dangers and hardships of aeronautics, and granted the additional pay In recog- nition of the conditions under which they worked. Senator Bingham added that he had not heard of any change of feeling by the staff on this sub- ject. He crificized the regulation re- quiring the officers’ dress blouse be worn while filying, and cited instances of reprimand given during the war in Europe because pilots had violated this regulation SENATE APPROVES TRAFFIC MEASURE AND EIGHT OTHERS control of the Fort Foote military reservation in Prince Georges Coun- tv, Md., to the chief of engineers of the Army, to be administered as part of the park system of the National Capital.

France pleaded that she need- ed every bit of armament for natlonal security and was deaf to argumen: of economy. So long as the repar: tion problem was unsolved, President Coolldge sald publicly that he did not feel it was wise to press for another armament conference. Now, however, the Dawes plan has been wet In operation and there ha been a significant discussion of inter- allled debts, France has shown a dis- inclination on the one hand to pay | elther Great Britain or the United States, while, on the other hand, she Is making provision annually to spend sums for armament. America has a warm supporter Great Britaln because it Is to the interest of both powers to help France find a way to cut her budget expenses. The British, moreover, are quite capable of taking care of them- selves on the seas with their present strength and so Is the United States. The ratio of 5-3-3, which way estab- | lished at the last Washington con- feronce, unquestionably will afford the premlse for further cuts. Aux- illary craft and submarines and even alrcraft may come within the pro- gram of the next conference with the {dea. of preserving the ratio and stop- ping further competition. Time Held Ripe Now. The time for further limitation has come, in the opinion of both Great| Britain and the United States. There is a friendlier feeling in France to- ward Great Britain than there wa two years ago. But unless the French indicate unofcially and privately that they are willing to reduce auxillary craft, the conference will not be call- ed. %o long as the Herriot govern- ment remains in power, it would seem | as if the chances of getting France to agree ‘Informally on a program of limitation of armament were better than they might have heen under the Poincare government or might be un- der a future regime. The answer to in the question of whether there will be a conference depends on France. Being eager to see America take an active role in in- ternational conferences, the European foreign offices will urge France not to let anything stand in the way of getting the conference on armament together.

CTZENSHP GUARD URBED FOR WONEN British Commons Debates Status of Those Who Wed Foreigners. LONDON, February 19.-The status of Englishwonen who are married to aliens was discussed In the House of Commons last night. A witty speech by Lady Astor amused the House. Maj. S. E. Harvey moved that “in the opinion of this House a British woman should not lose or be deemed to lose her nationality by the mere act of marriage with an alien, but that it should be open to her to make a declaration of allenage. He sald the existing law distinctly penalized a British woman married to an allen. For example, if a British woman was married to an Argentine she ceased to be British, but did not become an Argentine. Thus she be- | came an outcast, with no nationality whatever. The same applied to Brazil and Chile. i Maj. Harvey then referred to the United States, where an English- woman must live a whole year with her American husband before she is able to become a citizen of the United States, and for the whole of that pe- riod she Is not entitled to protection or rellief as an American.

Locker-Lampson, undersecretary of the home office, announced that the | government would not oppose the motion, but he thought it would be better to concentrate on two propos- als—the first made by a subcommit- tee of the imperial conferénce in 1823, | that a woman ought to be readmitted | to a British nationality where the | marriage state, though officially ex- isting, had for all practical purposes| terminated, and, second, the sugges- | tion made by a joInt committee of | the Lords and Commons that a woman ! should not lose her British nation- | ality by marrying an alien unless| she acquired her husband's natlon-| ality.
