2 NAVAL CUT MOVE INU.S. IS AWAITED Speeches Pave Way for Brit- ain and America to Hold Arms Conference. (Continued From First Page.) | tiation must concern, from the very be- ginning, all interested naval powers ant d ahould have not a partial but a world | sanction. While, in the course of the | discussion, I may refer to the principle of equality of naval power as between QGreat Britain and the United States only because the outcome of previous conferences shows that this is the agreed policy of both governments. | “My theme is, what measure of pro- | cedure had best be adopted to trans- late a policy of naval reduction into a fixed agreement between the nations— ® step so important to the peace of the world and the happiness hereafter of mankind. “Edmund Burke in his ‘Observations on a Late Publication on the Present State of the Nation' once made a pro- found remark about politics which he could have made with equal truth of 1aw, of government systems, and of dealings with international relations of all kinds, including methods of nego- tiation for reparations settlements or reduction in naval armament. “ ‘Politics,’ said he, ‘ought to be ad- ted not to human reasonings, but to | uman nature, of which the reason is| but a part, and by no means the great- | est part.’ Method Adjusted to Reasoning. “The long time which elapsed after | the ending of the great war before a proper method of negotiation for reparations settlements was evolved was | because the first method was adjusted to human reasoning and not to human natuze, That method was fo have rec- ommended settiement prepared by the continuing and concurrent work of eco- nomic experts and statesmen combined. “Since the reparations settlement in- wolved, in each one of the nations in- terested, both an economic and a politi~ cal problem, it was reasonable to sup- :ou that it would be best determined y the joint effort of statesmen and economists working together. “This futile effort continued so long before its abandonment that all Eu- rope was brol ht to the brink of eco- | militarists desired by the economic experts as by' the statesmen themselves.” The prime minister's address was made in the same Scottish town in which he was born and which saw his rise from poverty to party leadership and twive to head the British nation. Not Exclusive. “As to the world-wide purpose what are known as the Anglo-American conversations,” he said, “I hope that! | neither the large states nor he small | | ones will have any doubt that they are | not_exclusive. They are inclusive. “The mighty Republic across the At- lantic will enter into no European en- tanglements and alliances, but no one ought to suspect that it will decline to | serve the common interests of peace and democracy. There are obstacles to be surmounted, differing interests to be reconciled. some historical inheritances | to be soothed and rivairies which are | | legitimate to be confined to their proper ! channels. “'That is the glorious task which the | happy conversations which the Ameri- can Ambassador and I had opened up, and 1 would pray the whole nation, irrespective of party, to share helpfully in our labors, to give us its confidence | and to enable us to carry the work to a successful conclusion.” The Ambassador's speech was made | before the Pilgrims’ Society, 400 of ! of sembling. He contended that naval reduction was the logical sequent to the Kellogg anti-war treaties, and he mentioned | the huge financial burden carrying out | of present naval building ams | would inflict upon nations, saying that the authorized contemplated naval pro- gram of the United States alone amounts to $1,170,800,000. Discusses Experts. He then went into the roles played by financial experts in the reparations and aimilar conferences, and developed the proposition that, whereas they were necessery to the success of those con- ferences, they would impair rather than abet progress if they played sim- ilar parts in a naval conference. “The proper pride of & naval of- ficer's life is his navy," the Ambassador sald. “His whole professional career impels him to think of the navy oniy | in terms of victory. He is rightly taught that he must strive. not for equal navies, but for a superior navy.” The Ambassador sought to show the naval experts' proper place was in the fixing of a “naval yardstick,” a stand- ard of equivalent valués to harmonize such widely variant factors as ship age, displacement, gun elevation, etc. States- men, he added, could apply a naval yardstick for the best inferests of all. “If naval experts rise to a proper sense of their ruflmslhuny the use| by statesmen of their yardstick will not | be one which will invite peril from those extreme pacifists and extreme who form the lunatic nomic_and political chaos.

Viewed as Almost Hopeless. “This expedient, viewed at that time as almost hopeless by most economists and entirely so by all politicians—then designated by one great member of the Reparations Commission as the ‘prescription of a pill for an earth- '—proved successful. was not & triumph of intellect—it was a triumph of despair. It was adopted because nothing else had worked. success was due to its unconscious but proper adjustment to the law of human nature ure. “What happened thereafter demon- strated that by accident the world had discovered that the pro) method of settling an international problem, in- volving a- separate economic and politi- cal problem in each country, was to use independent experts whose sugges- tions involved their interpretation of the correct and fundamental economio %rhl:dplu involved in the situation. ir formuls then to be handed over 1o statesmen. who, reinforced by the geneml public confidence in the ime ¢ text of Premier MacDonald's ch before the Town Council here “Be the merits or demerits of govern- ment what they may, I can claim one which will not be disputed. We lost no time in getting into arness. We, at any rate, take no easy complacent view of the needs of the nation. I have made it clear both before and during the elec- tion that I put our relations with the United Statés in the forefront in na- tional corcern. As régards them, we have not let the grass grow under our feet. “Gen. Dawes, the pew Ambassador, has been good enough to take a long journey here to see me and have a talk with me about them.

The method was not adjusted to the law of human nature. Problems Are Different. “Economic and technical problems are one thing—governmental and po- litical problems are another. ¢ “The rigid attitude and ‘determined expressions of international economic and technical specialists, as to the in- violability and sacredness of technical principle, is perhaps praiseworthy, ‘but We must remember that these expres- sions are always incident to a doubtful embodiment of them in & personal in- terpretation of their applicability to international political sjtuations, of which experts * * * ‘are not always competent diagnosticians. “One who is inclined io ‘believe that | P economists and technicians, claiming to be guided In their intellectual voyages by the stars and compasses and high lighthouses of fixed principles, never compromise, a5 do the alleged unworthy politicians, is lacking in experience in international negotiations. “For six years after the war the un- happy reparations commission, besides its other misfortunes, was surrounded by an army of economic experts repre- senting different natioris interested in the problem. These experts delivered innumerablé written ultimatums as to the correct economic principles which underiay their divergent recommenda- tions, which filled vast untouched li- ldzurten and moulded in their unruffied ust.

Prime Minister MacDonald tele- graphed the Pilgrims that there were no great issues between Britain.and America, but only “neglected roads with & slightly rough surface and some overgrowth.” He likened the nations to two men “who are determined to smooth them out.” British foreign office circles express themselves as wholly in agreement with the general principies laid down in the hes by Premier MacDonald and Ambassador Dawes. It was pointed out that there was plenty of scope for speculation, but that it would be idle to discuss the tech- nical details at this early stage. The most important thing to be ob- served at this stage, in Downing streer opinion, is that the public opinion of the world, not only in Enflnlnd and America, is being influenced the di- rection of the aims of disarmament.

IAPAN APPROVES. PEACE. ADDRESS Full Co-operation Assured Though *“Yardstick Might Be Hard to Find.” By the Associated Press. | TOKIO, June 19.—Japanese official- dom was keenly interested, mostly sym- pathetically, with the speeches made by Premier MacDonald and Amba sador Dawes last night. ‘The navy office spokesman was most cautious in discussing the details and expressed the opinion that Ambassador Dawes' “yardstick” might be more dif-| ficult to find than civilians believe, but nevertheless refterated the navy's will- gness to co-ope) in a renewed at: tempt for limitation. Reports Closely Studied. It is no secret that Ambassador Mat- sudaira’s recent reports from London, including Tuesday's speeches, have been | unusually vol ous, indicating that he is close to the sources of develop- ments. These reports are being closely studied. Japanese officialdom is specially ap- preciative of the Anglo-American avoid- ance of any semblance of dictating to the other powers. The foreign officer spokesman said fhere was no_ dissent- ing voice in ‘the chorus of official ap- proval of the Dawes-MacDonald utter- ances and no feeling that the Anglo- Saxons were trying to ‘'boss the show. Japen wholeheartedly was ready to con- tribute her tithe as Premier Tanaka al- ready had stated. Dawes Suggestion Cited. Foreign office circles pointed out that the suggestion by Ambassador Dawes for final negotiations limited to the statesmen instead of to naval officers was tried out in practice at the Wash- ington conference of 1922, where suc- cess was largely owing to the fact that experts were confined to the prlim- inarics and the d tary of State Hugh: Baron Kato. The af{srnoon newspapers showed that prese interest had been | aroused by the disarmament prospects, the news overshadowing domestie and Chinese questions, DAWES' TALK HELD START OF PARLEY Address Seen as Beginning of Negotiations for Dis- armament. By the Associated Press. The address of Ambassador Dawes at the Pilgrims’ Club dinner in London and that of Prime Minister MacDonald at Lossiemouth were regarded by Wash- ington observers today as having pro- vided auspiciously what the latter described as “the beginning of the negotiations” for a disarmament pro- am. ‘The tenor of the Ambassador's ad- dress was worked out in more or less detail during the conferences he had here with President Hoover and Secre- tary Stimson before his departure for England. With the ideas expressed thus definitely reflecting Mr. Hoover's views, the address was taken as a fresh in- dication of the détermination of the chief executive that future naval re- duction negotiations shall not be char- acterized by the mistakes which marked the 1927 tripartite naval conference. At the same time, it is interpreted as meaning that no new or additional in- ternational machinery looking to re- duction of armaments will con- !Fmrlll!d. but that the question will be left for the time being with the League of Nations preparatory commis- sion, the work of which is confined to the development of formulae for com- paring naval strength by experts of the nations concerned, as suggested at Geneva by Ambassador Gibson. A new suggestion, as far as American spokesmen are concerned at any rate, was advanced by Mr. Dawes in his reference to taking the naval problem out of the hands of experts and putting it up to “statesmen.” That was in- terpreted as indicating that, after the preparatory commission experts have completed their work on new formulae, the Washington Government might consider a conference of “statesmen” to | effect a compromise on the different | viewpoints in order.

NEW YORK, June 19 California financier, (P —A. P. today SPEECHES PRAISED BY LONDON PAPERS Berlin Press Without Com- ment and Opinion Divided in France. By the Associated Press. LONDON, June 19.—Ambassador Dawes and Premier MacDonald will have o cause to be disappointed in the reception of their addresses last night at London and Lossiemouth asking reduction in -armaments as an initial step toward world peace. The attitude of the London press was wholly favorable. “It is evident from the Ambassador's “how great an enterprise has been .set of sincerity, sobriety and far-sighted- ness they must rise if they would bring it through. The world sanction for which Ambassador Dawes asks is ideally right and is in practice essential, but it is with the British and American peo- ples . that hopes or progress primarily rest. Their fallure to agree has halted and until it is amended will continue to halt disarmament.” Approval of Public. 'ahr Conservative Daily Telegraph said: approve his proposal as agreeable to common sense supported by experience. * * * The nation will very willingly listen to Mr. MacDonald’s appeal to share helpfully the labor of the gov- ernment and enable them to carry it to a successful conclusion.” The Conservative Post, always an advocate of a strong British navy, said: “In Gen. Dawes' admirable and closely reasoned speech there was not a word on which a pacifist or militarist could pick a quarrel. The spirit of humanity and justice animates his statement and we are particularly grateful to him for his evident willingness to realize the British point of view a8 well as the American, * * * If there is nothing definite, there is at least good will on both sides.” As Business Proposition. The Laborite Herald said: “Ambas- sador Dawes' declaration will be treated here as a business proposition and there hould be no doubt the two governments will be able to do business. Human nature is with them. For the first time there is an active desire on both sides not for superiority, but for friendship and assured peace. The task may be hard at times, but it certainly 1 be glorious, and if both governments can count on that full national support for which Mr. MacDonald appeals success should be assured.” ‘The Dally News, Liberal, dealing espe- ere is a vast amount of work to be done before he goes, but when he goes he will carry with him the best wishes and highest hopes of every nation and the love of peace throughout the world.” BERLIN DISPLAYS NEWS, Papers Without Editorial Comment on Speeches. BERLIN, June 19 (#).—Berlin morn- ing papers displayed the Dawes and MacDonald speeches in Great Britain last night most prominently. There was no editorial comment, although the “headlines” gave some indication of the reception.

To get an idea of what comedy it i3, he said. one has but to notice that M. Dawes opened his naval reduction plea by a “Shreat,” with which he reminded England if she did not come to an understanding, then America would istart cruiser bullding with a $1.170,800,000 outlay.

Dr. Swig- gett, who is profesgor of world markets and international economics in the Foreign Bervice School of Georgetown University and organizing seeretary of the Inter-American Federation of Edu- cation Association, believes it is fitting that Cuba should be the first of the foreign nations to be visited by the orators. Cuba, he points out, is rep- resentative of the best of colonial Span- ish in the Western Hemisphere, and, because of its features reminiscent of American progress, and the feeling of complete friendliness toward the United States, it is & country in which Ameri- can visitors feel at home and welcome. ““Cubs, because of the evident friend- ship for the United States, and its unmistakable capacity for understand- ing the disinterested motives of the United States in forming any policy to create friendly accord, stands in a rather unique &mltwn among the pan- American nations,” Dr. Swiggett de- clared today. may be regarded as a listening ro-t. transmitting at higher or lower voltage to other Latin Ameri- can countries, public opinion in the United States or in the Latin American nations.” Fence Proposed to Bar Planes.
