Greensboro DAILY IS DAY. NOVEMBER 13. 1321 America Seeks Naval Holiday I and Outlines Junking Program (Continued from Ps On powers. Thfr nil complete detail cov ering every phae of the question, but the essence of the proposal lay In this: That the United State offered to go far beyond what eh asked Ureal Br It aln or Japan to do, viewed from the absolute financial losses Involved. The whole American big ahlp building pro gram 1 on the stocks, while Great lirlta.li) ha no capital ships under con struction and the Japanese "eight and eight" program I aa yet largely on paper. Heldom ha a conference of nations assembled in an atmnspnere or great-umi er cordiality than that which envelop ed th opening session of the arma ment conference. Confident of guet'ess. from the moment Hecrotary Hughe railed the conference to order until the last delegate had tiled out of the hall the deference everywhere appar ent was ft notable feature of the pro ceedings. Even the astonishment of delegate and spectators at the naval reduotion proposal of the American government failed to halt the exchange of courtesies or develop any manifes tation of doubt that th negotiations would be crowned with success. Arthur J. Balfour, head of th Brit ish delegation, was the first among the foreign delegate to strike the general not of harmony. He tlrred the whole body of delegates and spectator to prolonged applause when he proposed that a an extraordinary tribute to Secretary Hughes and the United Btates th secretary of slate act as chairman by common consent and without ft formal election., Later, when the conference appar ently had concluded Us business, the galleries helped the spirit of good feeling along by calling for on after another , of th distinguished foreign delegate until every head of ft visit ing delegation had made a speech. Premier Brland, of France, wa the first to be thus brought to hi feet iy an Impromptu demonstration of re gard from tha spectator. Then fol lowed similar demands for Prince Tokugawa, head of th Japanese, and for representative of Italy, China, Bel glum, the Netherlands and Portugal. Member of th senate and house took leading part In th spontaneous . demt natratlons. Premier Brland spoke In French, but with a warmth that moved many who could not understand him. He de clared France was entering the con ference "with all her will and with all her heart," and wa ready to make any own safoty were kept suture. "Heart to Heart." . "Here with our friends," continued the French premier, "wa shall peak' heart to heart and looking Into each other' eyes, and we shall tell you In what situation we find ourselves, and we ehall let you all know what we can do." Only ft few sentence, In English, war spoken by Prince Tokugawa, de claring the readiness of the Japanese government and people to entor whole heartedly Into the negotiation. 'All humanity," he hld, "I Inter ested In th great purpose for which this meeting ha been called. We are lierei to compose difficulties, not o create them. We mean seriously to promote true and honest friendship among nation, not to impair It. We propoe, not to prescribe term or to dictate ft constitution to a dubious world, but to carry 6u( the plain dic tate of common ena. "The world need peace. It ealli for political and economic stability. And to co-operate with the 'powers here o worthily represented for the ac complishment of euch a lofty end, un der the guidance of the distinguished presiding officer, will be for Jnpan a source of greateat pleasure:" Senator Schanior, speaking for the Italian delegation, assured the confer ence that Italy "will ha second to no other nation In working with faith and diligence to the end that the purpose which has Inspired your President In calling u to this assembly may achieve full triumph tor the good of all mankind." For the Belgian Baron de Cartler 1 declared me country woum wora in the conference ''with all her heart" Minister. Ste, Jonkeer Van Karnebeck and Viscount V Alt made similar pledge In the name of China, the Netherlands and Portugal respectively. r BEOlitTIOlM OP ARMAMEXT HARDING SHOWS CHEAT NEED (IT Am-UUd hnl Washington, Nov. 12. The text of President Harding' address at tha ' opening of the conference of limit tlon of armament today follow: Mr. Secretary and member of the conference, mines ana gentlemen It Is ft great and happy privilege to hid the' delegates to this conference a cordial welcome "to Ihe cnpital of the United Btates of America.

It I not possible to ovcrappraise the Importance of such ft conference. It Is nd unseemly boast, no disparagement of other nation which, though, not represented, are held in highest respect. to declare that the conclusion of thin body will have a signal Influence on tunes of the world. Here 1 ft meeting, I can believe, which la an aarnest effort of the awakened conscience of the 1921 civ ilization. It la not ft convention of re morse nor ft session.' of sorrow. It is not the conference of victor to daflne term of settlement. Nor it I ft council of nations seeking to remake human kind. It I rather a coming together, from all parts of the earth, to applv the better attributes of mankind to minimise th fault In our interna tional 'relationship. i Call of War-Wearied World. Speaking aa official sponsor for the Invitation, I think I may say th call la not of the United State of Amerl- cavalone, It I rather the spoken word of a war-wearied world, struggling for restoration, hungering and thirsting for better relationship: of humanity crying for relief and craving aesur ances of lasting peace. It Is easy to understand this world wide aspiration. The glory of triumph, the rejoicing In achievement, the love of liberty, the devotion to country, the pangs of aorrow, the burden of debt, the desolation of ruin all these are appraised alike In all land. Here In the United State we are but fresh ly turned from the burial of an un known American soldier, when ft na tion sorrowed while paying him tribute.' whether It was spoken or not, ft hun dred million of our people, were aum- marlilng th Inexcusable causes, the incalculable cost, the unspeakable sacrifices, and the unutterable sorrows, and there was the ever-Impelling ques tion: How can humanity Justly or Ood forgive? Human hate demand no uch toll; ambition and greed must b de nied It If miaunderatandlng must take th blame, then let us banish It, and let understanding rule and make good in regnant everywhere. All of us demand liberty and Justice. There can not be one without the other, and they must be held the unquestioned poa- wkn -of all-. peUs..4nheTflrlt 'Tights are or ooi, and the tragedlea of the world originate In their attempted de nial. The world today 1 Infringing their enjoyment by arming to defend or deny, when simple sanity call for their recognition through common understanding. Vast Amli Too Costly, Out of the cataclysm of the world war came new fellowships, new con victions, new aspirations. It la ours to make tbo most of them. A world staggering with debt need It bur den lifted. Humanity which ha been hocked by wanton destruction ahould minimis the agencies of that de struction. Contemplating the measure- ess oost of war and the continuing burden of armament, all thoughtful peoples wisn tor real limitation 01 armament and would like war out lawed. In soberest reflection the World' hundreds of .million who pay in peace and die In war wish .their statesmen to turn the expenditures ror destruction Into mean of con struction, aimed at a simpler state for those who live and follow after. It Itrnot alone that the world can not readjust Itself and cast aside the excess burden without relief from the leader of men. War has grown Progressively cruel and more destruc tive from the first reoorded conflict to this pregnant day, and the reverse or der would more become our boasted civilisation. .. i Oentlemen of the conference, the United State welcomes you with un selfish hands. We harbor no fear; we have no sordid ends to serve; we ins pect no enemy; we contemplate 1 or apprehend no conquest. Content with what we have, w seek nothing which ia anotliers, We only wish to do with you that finer, nobler thing which no nation can do alone. We wish to lt with you at th table or international understanding and good will. In good conscience we are eager to meet you frankly, and In. vlte and offer co-operation. The world demands a sober contemplation of th existing order and the realization that there can be no cure without sacrifice, not by one of us, but by all of us. Needn't Surrender Itlahta. I do not mean aurrendered right, or narrowed freedom, or denied aspira tion, or Ignored national necessities. Our republic would no more SBk for these than It would give. No pride need be humbled, no nationality submerged but I would have a mergence of mind committing all of us to less prepara tion for war and more enjoyment of fortunate peace. The higher hope com of the spirit of our coming together. It I but Just to recognise varying needs and pe culiar poKltlnns. Nothing can be I'omplfMlied lit disregard of national appn'hcnulun. ltathi-r, we should act tpRotlHT to remove th causes of ap prehension. This Is not to be done In intrigue. Greater assurance I found n the exchanges of simple honesty and directness, among men resolved to accomplish as, become leader among nation, when civilisation, Itself ha come to it crucial test. It I not to be challenged that gov. ernment falls when the excee of It oost rob the people of th way to happiness and the opportunity to achieve. If the finer sentiment were not urging, th cold, hard facta of ex cesslve cost and the eloquence of economic would urge us to reduce our armaments. If th concept of better order doe not appeal, then let us ponder the burden and the blight of continued competition. -It ia not to be denied that the world tra awunr mtonr throoghouT the" ages without heeding thi call from the kindlier heart of men. But the am world never before wa o tragically brought to realisation of the utter futility of passion's away when reason and conscience and fellowship point a nobler way. I can apeak officially only for our united state. Our hundred million frankly want lea of armament and none of ww. Wholly free' from gull, sure In our own mind that wa harbor no unworthy (resigns, we accredit th world with th earn good Intent. 60 I welcome you, not alone In good will and high purpose, , but with high faith. We are met for ft service to man kind. In all almpllolty, In all honesty and all honor,' there may be written here the avowal of ft world conscience refined by the consuming fire of war, and made more aensltlve by the anxious aftermath. I hop for that understand ing which will emphasise the guaran tee of peace, and for commltmenta to lesa burden and a. better order which will tranqulllie the world, (n uoh an accomplishment there will be added glory to your flaga and ours, and the rejotolng of .mankind vrlll make the transcending muslo of ft)l . succeeding time.

One of the big problem to begin with wa selling the power and thi dtffloulty, Iti I said wa the explanation for the extremely low rate named In many, of the first contract for power.
