The American people "could never be greatly interested in any proposition for the cancellation of any part of the debt to the United States unless the proposition is ac companied by a definite and spe cific plan supported by certain guarantees for practical disarm ament, both by land and sea," Senator Borah asserted, adding that the disarmament program of the Washington arms conference had been "halted and crushed." Disarmament Chief Topic. "Assuring for the purpose of this statement," he said, "that there will come a time when the United tates will consider the proposition of cancelling a part or all,; of the foreign debt, take It thait time will never come during the program as now suggested. There is one thing In all this dis cussion from abroad relative to cancelling the foreign debt which is never mentioned and that is the subject of disarmament. "There is nothing to be gained by our cancelling this debt, or any part of it, if the gigantic military and armament programs in Eu rope are to continue. It would amount in practical effect to our aiding and abetting the building up of these great military and armament establishments, and thereby abetting war.

Senator Reed was leading Breckinridge Long of St. Louis, former third assistant secretary of state In the Wilson administration by 6,87'J votes. The vote in 3.626 nrecincts stood: Reed 189,321; Long 182,442. f Aung's tiane's Meaner In order to overcome this plu rality in the remaining precincts it will be necessary for Mr. Long to lead Senator Reed by almost 31 votes in each precinct.

Sixty of the 22 missing pre cincts are located in St. Louis county, outside of St. Louis city. In the 16 precincts that already have reported from St. Louis county. Long had an average lead over Reed of only three to he precinct. In the remaining precincts in the rural districts re ports show that the Democratic vote was light and Mr. Long's on ly hope to muster enough votes to wipe out the senator's lead would be in a heavy vote from the remaining country districts. Reed's Lead Reduced From early morning until late afternoon the precincts that re ported served to reduce the sen ator's lead little by little, until at one time it was cut to slightly more than 6,300. In the last 50 precincts to report, however, the senator's column took a brace. De spite Reed's lead Brekinridge Long tonight told the Assoiated Press that he was still confident of victory and that he believed the official count which begins tomor row was favorable to him.
