Hara, who was assassinated. Takahashi was finance minister
in the Hara cabinet. He is considered' China's friend and op
posed to Japan's militarists in China. His appointment is a vic-t

cession to popular opinion. Takahashi believes Japan can
strengthen herself as a world power by making China her friend.
The late premier Hara also thought this, but lacked the strength
to carry it through.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. Outlaw war and cut armament,
President Harding- urged in opening the great conference on !
4 . the limitation of armament in Continental Hall here today.
"One hundred millions frankly want less of armament and
none of war, he told the assembled delegates.
President Harding offered no specific program. ' He devoted
himself entirely to impressing on the delegates the world hunger
for peace and relief from the crushing burdens of big arma
ments. Standing at the head of the conference table, he pleaded
for frank, straightforward exchange of views without suspicion
and resort to intrigue.
No pride need be humbled and no nationality need be sub
merged in the effort to reach world peace, President Harding
said... But, he warned, "there can be no cure without sacrifice."
America, he explained, goes into the conference with un
selfish hands, suspecting no enemy, harboring no fears, neither
contemplating nor apprehending conquest bent only unon do-
Y"' ling that "finer, nobler thing which no nation can do alone."
