Great Britain standi beside the United States ss a firm friend In this conference. The speech of Arthur James Balfour la but the Index of British poller, which now alma to make the conference a sue res by asalstlnc the American proposi tion la every way possible. Not a syllable of equivocation, not a phrase of lukewarm comment, but a wholehearted approval came from the had of the Brttlnh delegation. And as If to reen force thJa sentiment with lotne thlnf even more authoritative, Mr. Bal four read with dramatic effect a cable gram from Prime Mlnistwrtloyd Ceorre. whose abeenca from the conference Is the single regrettable Incident thus far. What Mr. Lloyd Owes falls to render by his presence, however, he more than mates up for with his constant cable grama to the delegates here to go as far aa possible to help carry out the draatta proposals made by the United states government. SO DOUBT REMAINS True enough, the British acceptance has been forecast In the dispatches of the last 24 hours, but not until the fate ful words of approval were spoken by Arthur Balfour did the realization come of what tremendous Import lay back of the British endorsement. Mr. Balfour spoke extemporaneously and seemed to measure his sentences deliberately. But It was obvious that while Great Britain was accepting "In spirit as well as in principle. Mr. Balfour left no doubt la the minds of his hearers that the details would not prove Insurmountable and that they were merely subjects for dis cussion In committee by naval experts. Nothing that might bs done by the experts. Mr. Balfour stated, would touch the wonderful "structure which had been erected" by the American government rAISTft BRITISH SACRIFICE It was plain to see that Mr. Balfour was using the occasion to drive home the extent of British sacrifice in con senting to a reduction of her navy to defensive sixe. He dwelt at length on the Importance of a navy to an Island per pis whose food supply la so depend' ent upon overseas communications. The theme of Mr. Balfour's address was that navies should hereafter be purely defensive and not offensive. On the Utter point he gave as an example the unedeslrablllty of large aea-golng submarines, whose only object could be. he thought,, the destruction of commerce In offensive warfare methods abhorred by civilised nations. Precisely because Mr. Balfour wanted to show how far Oreat Britain was ready to go to stand b the United States, did the British statesman emphasise the strategic Im portance of a navy to the empire. After he had done that he announced the British acceptance amid an out burst of cheering and a demonstration which was led by General Pershing and In which the American delegation , joined. Mr. Balfour threw out a few hints In cidentally which will prove significant later on. He spoke briefly but with measured emphasis about land arma ment At this Premier Briand leaned forward and arched his eyebrows. Mr. Balfour gave the impression that he hoped other nations weighed down by turdens of land armament would also coooerate with the movement for the reduction of the world's tax burden! and thus release capital and energies for the Improvement of trade, national and m ternatlonal. It was an unstinted acceptance of the American viewpoint which Mr. Balfour expressed, and he could not have been mors direct, when he said "the pro- Dortions In the American plan are ac ceptable, the limitation is reasonable. and ws believe It should be accetAed. and we believe it finally will be. It has not been received with cool approbation but with hearty approval and with loyal and hearty cooperation." DOWIT TO BUSINESS I Now the conference gets down to business. The Japanese accept In principle, the British likewise, and both nations are ready to approve the Amer ican proposals, all of which, however, only partly solves the problem. The real task is ahead. It . involves a satisfactory formula for Far Fasten) questions, and land armaments com mittees have been appointed, and when there Is agreement upon principles again on these two mattes there will be further open sessions. The actual negotiations will proceed in committee the results will be announced periodically in public session. This arrangement is apparently satis fying almost everybody. No political partisanship has as yet appeared. America and Great Britain are working together and the Japanese thus : far have given plain indications that they will not lag behind In endeavoring to make the conference a success; There was a touch of emotion, seldom apparent in International conferences, as Japan followed Britain in approving the Amer ican naval program and as President Bchanger of the Italian delegation: and Fremier Briand threw their moral sup port In the direction of accepting- the American suggestions. OPEN SESSIONS APPROVED It was no surprise to find Premier Briand, however, taking up the reference of Mr. Balfour's speech to ' land arma ment Mr. 15 nana requested an op portunity at some future public session to explain the position of France to which Secretary Hughes graciously ac ceded. Although committee meetings are to be secret the public sessions will fur nlsh occasions for explanation of na tional viewpoints. All the European delegations seem to have become suddenly appreciative . of the publicity value of these open ses sions, but true significance of Mr. Bri and's request is something even more far reaching. It is that Franco will take the Initiative In projecting th subject of land armament in this conference. This will give Premier Briand the chance to show the relationship between Germany's reluctance to pay reparations and the necessity of a large army to enforce German obedience. This may precipitate a discussion of America's war debt and kindred questions which have been hampering industrial progress everywhere. The keynote of this con ference Is not simply prevention of naval war. but reconstruction. Reclamation Fund Sums Not Alloted, Declares McNary Washington. Nov. IS- (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.) Senator McNary maae public a night letter sent to the Malheur Enterprise to correct impressions created by publica tion of a story quoting tentative esti mates as to how money may be spent under his bill, proposing emergency ap propriation for reclamation. McNary stated that it was "made to appear that he presented the bill giving appropriations to other states and not to Oregon, but In fact the bill provides for a lump sum to be allotted later by the reclamation service and there can be no official or authoritative statement at this time as to where money would go. Oregon can rest assured that its repre sentative will be on the job to secure a fair share for Oregon if tire bill becomes law." ! Hays Slights Vets, Says Senator King Washington, Nov. 16. (I. N. S.)
