COLVER WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—In no spirit of mere phrase making (altho & master of the art), but straight from the heart of France, spoke Pre. mier Briand at the limitation of arms conference Monday. He said: “It you want peace, there must be two parties to that peace. Besides phys jeal disarmament, there must be moral! disarmament.” Briand, of course, was speaking of the menace of the north, as_ his country views it; of Germany de- feated, but still vast, populous and vengeful; or Russia with the 20,000,- 000 men of military age, an inchoate mass, but stili having possibilities quite transcending in horror any- thing we have yet known. Briand is no jingo—quite the con- trary—and, as he said, he must be doubly careful of his utterances on that account. And then he spoke, not alone for France, but for a war- | hating, peacesiemanding world as well, when he announced that, in spite of her fears, France has ordered the demobilization of one-half of her three military classes as soon an this can be decently accomplished, bring. ing back her army to 400,000 men, or almost exactly the pre-war buns “Beyond that we cannot go.” said Briand. Altho interrupted for pur poses of interpretation into English, the great Frenchman thrilled his audience with the cadences of his carrying conviction as he | One pauses to ask why not accept this brief of the foremost man of our sister republic and take it to mean Just what it says? Has France not proved herself on the altar of hu- manity? Can the rest of the world ask more? . Briand Believes Purpose Achieved BY FRANK GETTY WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—Pre mier Briand today declared hia be Hef that he had achieved the pur. | pose for which ke came to the Wash- ington conference. “The conference has shown Ger- many that France does not stand alone,” Briand stated. “Now, perhaps, Germany will see \her way clear to a moral disarma ment,” ‘Briand added. “This ie what she must eventually come to, and I am deeply touched by the were received, for I believe the echo of that sympathy wih be felt in Ger- many.” 50 Father-and-Son Dinners Held Here More than 50 Father and son dinners were held in Seattle during the last two weeks, according to the report of the executive committee of the Fathers and Sons, made at a dinner at Meves’ cafeteria Monday night.
