BRITISH COMMENT ON § PROPOSALS OF HUGHES London, Nov. 14—Ths Daily Chroni- cle, remarking that Secretary Hughes has added a rider to the usual concept that policy governs armaments, namely, that armaments also affects po'icy, con- tends that tntil the political fires are tinguished no reduction in armaments, however ingenious and sincere, can hope to endure. L “Secretary Hughes,” says the Chroni- cle, “tainks that the two parts, the re- duction of armaments and a political settlement, may proceed simultancously. He may be right. At any rate, it is a great thing on the very first day of t | conference to have brought down so big a quarry to discuss. It Is better o than to hold up the design of the superstruc- ture, as they did at Paris, while they had dug deep the foundations of the covenant.” 7 The newspaper says the world is in- debted to the United States for its broad anity and_incisive vigor. t is our English way to turn over critical'y all proposals affecting the strength of the mavy, but it should be said at once, apart from certain re- arves on account of the vastness of the sea areas we have to patrol, the: Ameri- can proposals strike us as quite fair to ourselves, Whether Japan will accept ‘Anglo-American _ superiority of four to one remains to be seen. ¥ “She Is quite capable of presenting her own case, but we do not think her will be to whittle down the proposed reductions; More probably she will ar- gue that they do not go far enough and that there are other e'ements of naval power than of the number of ships.” The Times treats the proposal with sympathetic admiration, hut emphasizes that it will have to be oarefully consid- ered. the very boldness with which it thrown aside the traditions of old says the Times, “it immediately captured the imagination of the people of the United States. Wea believe that In many respects it will ap- has peal not less forciby to the peoples Europe. “Like all schemes for carrying out targe pol the plan demands mature the zovernments of the | security and interests deeply concerns.

I, Nov. 13.—Marshal Foch's reception at Woonsocket was among the warmest accorded him since he started his tour.

When Teception was over the marshal said he had felt quite at home. A French poilu, wearing on his uni- form of horizon blue o decoration for va‘or on the field of action, was wait- ing for Marshal Foch when the latter Teturned to his special train after the ceremonies here.

P.)—Baron Korekiyo Takahashi, minister of finance in the Hara cabinet, today officially as- sumed the premiership in succession to Takashi Hara, swho was assassinated November 4.
