PRESS PICTURED AS PEACE FAGTOR Marie J. Carroll Addresses Gatholic International Amity Group. Responsibility of the press for the promotion of friendly relations between peoples and in find! “‘a better means than war to settle international dis- utes” was stressed this afternoon by iss Marie J. Carroll of the World Peace Foundation, at the opening ses- sion of the Catholic Association for In- ternational Peace, held in McMahon Hall of the Catholic University. Called to order by Rev. ncis J. Haas, president of the association, the conference spent this morning in round- table discussions of domestic and for- eign policies, reassembling for a general luncheon session. Miss Carroll, who is chief of the reference service on international affairs maintained by the World Peace Foundation, visualized a broad scope for the press in international relations, during a discussion of “General Public and Foreign News.” The press, as & vital factor in the national life and thought of every country—whether a so-called free press or government cen- sored—and its influence, is a subject of much concern to those interested in the romotion of international co-operation etween nations, she asserted. Papers Are Great Salesmen. “The press, therefore, has a direct responsibility for the promotion of friendly relations between peoples,” she said.. “Newspapers are the greatest salesmen for international policies to the general public, and for many they are the one means of contact with the affairs of the rest of the world. In- accurate, prejudiced and deliberately distorted reporting is a serious menace to the attainment of & harmonious titude toward other nations,” Miss C roll stressed. “Tolerance toward other peoples must be fostered if the world is to find & bet- ter means than war to settle interna- tionaal disputes,” she added. “When the problems affecting the destinies of millions of people are raised above the sordid level of race prejudice by newspaper editors and correspond- ents, the public mind may be able to visualize the advantages of the ence table over the trenches in settling international disputes,” she concluded. Discusses Circulation. Discussing the problem of “mass cir- culation” and the passing of the per- sonal editorial influence of the press, Miss Carroll said that the “chain-store process has entered the fleld of ideas” and many editorial writers now have “nationally known brands” on their politics, economics and the duties of a itizen. ¢ E Newspapers which rely on class cir- cuuc\ox? rather than mass circulation usually stand the test of changing times better because they keep step with the varying tastes of intelligent readers, she pointed out. Business men, she de- clared, the potential buying power of the conservative type of news- T. p.gebe newspaper chooses its public by its policy just as a department store chooses its clientele by the quality of goods offered, she contended, and for the same reason & newspaper dealing in low grade goods does not inspire con- fidence among discriminating pur~ ers. Radio Work Outlined. Radio and the part it is playing in bringing international ideas closer to- gether was stressed by the speaker in discussing the part played by the radio during the London naval conference. Other speakers at the luncheon con- ference were Rev. John La Farge, 8. J., who discussed “The Peace Movement and Catholic Action,” and Dr. George Johnson, whose topic was “Catholic Ed- ucation and Peace.” Latin American relations were due for consideration later this afternoon, with Right Rev. Mgr. Edward A. Pace of Catholic University among the speak- ers. William F. Montavon will with Haiitan policies. At tonight's session of the conference, which concludes tomorrow afternoon, Charles G. Fenwick will speak on “The Problem of the Limitation of Arma- ments.” Dr. John A. Ryan of Catholic University will discuss problems of the London Conference, and Father Haas will give the background of the Naval Conference.

(Continued Prom Fourth Page.) is not to be exceeded on December 31, 1936, is given in article 16. Submarine Tonnage. Submarine tonnage of each power is set at 52,700 tons. Vessels which cause the total tonnage of any category to ex- ceed the foregoing are to be disposed of gradually before December 31, 1936. In the destroyer category not more than 16 per cent of the total tonnage is to be employed in vessels of over 1,500 tons. Destroyers completed or under construction April 1 this year in excess of this percentage may be retained, but no other destroyers exceeding 1,500 tons shall be constructed or acquired until the reduction to 16 per cent is effected. Not more than 25 per cent of the total cruiser tonnage may be fitted with aircraft decks. Article 17 allows the transfer of lwn- nage between cruisers of the second subcategory and destroyers. But this is not to exceed 10 per cent of the cate- gory into which the transfer is made. It is stated in article 18 that the United States contemplates completion by 1935 of 15 cruisers of the first sub- category of an aggregate tonnage of 150,000. For each of the three remain- ing’ cruisers in this subcategory the United States may substitute 15,166 tons of cruisers in the second subcate- gory. In the event the United States con- structs one or more such cruisers, the sixteenth unit will not be laid down be- fore 1933 and won't be completed before 1936; the seventeenth will not be laid down before 1934 and will not be com- pleted before 1937; while the eighteenth will not be laid down before 1935 and will not be completed before 1938. Disposal of Vessels. Article 19 prescribes certain restric- tions to laying down tonnage in the different categories, while article 20 deals with disposal and replacement of certain British and Japanese vessels, and grants Japan the right to antici- pate replacement by laying down 19,- 200 tons of submarines, of which not more than 12,000 tons are to be com- pleted before December 31, 1936. Article 21 contains the safeguarding clause, which, while it does not men- tion specifically France and Italy, was inserted to protect Great Britain against a continental building program involv- ing those two powers. ‘The fourth chapter of the treaty deals with submarines, and contains a single article, No. 22. This article propounds the doctrine of “humanization” of sub- marine warfare. The fifth and last part of the treaty deals with its duration and its ratifica- tion. Its first clause, article 23, spe- cifies December 31, 1936, as the terminal date, except that part 4 shall remain operative without the time limit, and that articles 3, 4, 5, 11, and the annex relating to .aircraft carriers shall be effective for the same period as the ‘Washington treaty. Ratification is decreed by article 24 to be in accordance with the respective constitutional methods of the signa- tories, the ratifications to be deposited in London as soon as possible. The treaty will come into force when the last of these ratifications has been de- ited. ‘The rights and obligations of part 3 are limited to the United States, Great Britain and Japan, who will agree respecting the date and conditions un- der which the obligations of that part will bind them in relation to France and Italy, such agreement determining the obligation of France and Italy to the other three. According to article 25, next to the final clause in the treaty, after all ratifications have been deposited Great Britain will communicate part 4 to all non-signatory govlern. inviting them to concur in it, this being the section relating to humanization of submarines. The present treaty, in accordance with article 26, will be in the keeping of the British government, certified coples to be transmitted to the other signatories. Meeting for the last time, the dele- gations to the conference convened at the call of Chairman Macdonald at 10:30 am. today to sign the treaty evol;’ed after three months of hard work. ‘The delegates seated themselves around the great horseshoe conference table in Queen Anne’s old drawing room, St. James' Palace, where three months and one day ago they met for the first time. The American delegation, led by Col. Stimson, walked in informal manner from their quarters at the Ritz Hotel to St. James’ ce.

Takes Place of 1931 Conference. ‘Mr. Macdonald brought the meeting to order, explaining in & short address that the conference had taken the place of the 1931 conference provided for in the Washington treaty, which now, therefore, will not be held. He said that another conference would occur in 1935 ‘“unless events of such a happy nature take place meanwhile that it will not be required.” At the outset of his talk Mr. Macdon- ald said there were several preliminary matters to be settled, the first of them being a ?uutwn of transmitting to the League of Nations the agreement reached at London on the method of limitation— that is, the so-called compromise be- tween the global and category limitation theories. The session gave its unani- amous_consent to his placing the ac- complishments before the league’s pre- paratory commission on disarmament. He put a motion to the delegations, which they adopted unanimously, that the official name of the parley be “The London Naval Conference of 1930. After his motion had been put and carried the prime minister launched his discussion of the aims and achievements of the naval parley. He commented that the conference now had gone as far as possible, and that compared to Wash- ington and Geneva much had been ac- complished, although the delegations still felt that the results were short of what had been desired. He said that all who had participated in the conference realized that numer- ous dangers confronted the nations be- cause of some misspoken word which might have destroyed the work which was being accomplished. “But we are parting in a spirit of active good will with the intention of making this really the beginning of a greater five-power agreement,” he said. Step to World Disarmament. “We have stopped the replacement of battleships,” he declared, “and have re- duced their number. We have proved how, when the world wishes, the menace of arms can be removed.” The London Conference, he sald, was only a step on the road to world disarmament, but | they had gone much further than until I now has been possible. He stressed the limitation of building ships and programs, which he said could be said to be “almost as good as scrap- ping.” He declared that the conference found that the nations were approach- ing that “fatal moment when they were 22, 1930. ht around the horseshoe table, e Italians and Jspanese at his creasing their armaments,” and he re- iterated the hope that by 1936 it would be found possible to carry forward the work of this parley. He appealed “to public opinion in Europe to align itself behind those striving now to carry forward the of the conference”—refe! to the Italo-French negotiations to effect some limitation arrangement between them. He mentioned the British-American- Japanese agreement as one of the major accomplishments of the conference, and remarked that the European situation would be harder to resolve itself, but that he hopec that would be effected. Cites Safeguarding Clause. ‘Turning directly toward the American delegation and seeming to be talking straight to Senators Robinson and Reed, he commented on the safeguarding clause of the treaty by which the three limiting nations may increase their navies beyond the treaty figures if threatened by the building program of a non-signatory nation. “I hope it will never be used,” he said.

M. Briand speaking after Col. Stim- son, reiterated France's oft-expressed stand, that she based her whole pro- gram for oreue on the covenant of the League Nations, the Locarno pact and the treaty of Paris. M. Briand said that temporary dif- ficulties had not permitted as complete a success as France wished but at least France had collaborated loyally with efforts toward partial settlement, the sco] of which must not underes ted. He paid tribute to the three-power limitation agreement between America, Great Britain and Japan, and ex- tended France's hearty and cordial con- gratulations. “However, as you know those congratulations are mixed with a deep regret at not having had a more general agreement,” he said. Pledges French Support. M. Briand pledged French efforts and !ood will toward facilitating putting of he London treaty into force. “We standing before the nations of the earth,” he affirmed, “we declare our faith in it as a promise and a token.” M.

The Japanese interpre- ter, however, departed from the usual speech-making style of his country by making a dramatic and expressive rendering of his chief's utterance. Representatives of the British domin- fons and members of the empire also spoke. These included Sir Atul Chi terjee, the Indian delegate, who briefly his satisfaction at having been ed with the negotiations, and J. E. Fenton, Australian delegate, who said that 650,000,000 people were affected that by the three-power treaty at Trom_ or for the maintenance of | panese | English only in terms of dollars and ships. Much had been done, he said, to en- courage the principal of consultation between the nations. Perhaps the most important result, he commented, was awakening of the world to the fact that an informed and active public opinion was necessary te achieve disarmament. Such a move- ment, he declared, is growing steadily in_Canada. Prof. Smiddy, Irish Free State dele- gate, declared that the conference had achleved great results in reducing the dangers of war fever. Although his country is small, he said, it intends using all its influence in the League of Nations to fight for peace, the task being a gnnm one, but with the re- sults of the present conference showing skeptics it can be done.
