AMERICA DOES NOT FEAR WAR, HARVEY SAYS IN DDRESS American Ambassador To Eng - land Breaks Long Silence By Making Speech in London DESCRIBES ARMAMENT CONFERENCE AS BEING AN ORDEAL OF FAITH Underlying Purpose of Wash ington Gathering Not More a Challenge To The League of Nations Than To Monroe Doctrine, He Tells Members of Pilgrims' Society at Din ner Given To British Delo gates To Arms Congress; Will Be Test of-Capacity of Governments To Satisfy Longings For Peace London Oct. 31. (By the Associated Press .-George Harvey, the American ambaBsadoi speaking tonight at the din ner givn by the Pilgrims society to the British delegates to the Washingtor i,,,,.,,.! : i-nnferenn heralded the com ing confouce as "an ordeal not to Kit tie but of faith," the underlying lur poae of which was not more a challenge to the U-ugue of Nations than it was to the M-roe doctrine.? Ambassador Harvey reviewed the ac tion of the American Congress re specting the limitation of the army and the lcduitien of naval appropri ations, v.' 'ich he said gave conducive evidence (-t the Ameriean government ; confidence in tne outcome of the con ference. Teat of Government. ''The rml question confronting the .onforcn.c is not V lather the nations of the : tli can be brought into agree ment up. " all things, but whether they , , ..,.:, an understanding with re spect to-rnything," he said. ' It is to be a giei" test, not of the sincerity of peoples, but of the capacity of exist ing governments to satisfy the univer sal longing for peace, prosperity and happiness.' Harvev said that when Lord Robert Ce.il perceived in this con ference no challenge to the League of Nations he evinced "accurate discern ment," and the Ambnssador echoed Lord Bryee's assertion that it was impos sihle to overrat the fervor and hopo with which the conference was regarded in America and that America was not disposed to stand aloof from old world affairs. Viscount Grey was no lesa gen erous than he wss just, the speaker continued, when he deejared his belief that the American government was solutely sincere and tingle-minded and nrthv of the absolute trust of all the other "nations. He quoted King George's message to President Harding ana the latter's reply and added: ''Back of all their statesmen and publicists stand in wistful hope the en tire peoples pf our common race. Not Afraid of War. "Our own position is plain,'' he con L iiiur-d. "America does not fear war. Why should shet Geographically she is self contained and self supporting in all respects. "Her long coast lines are inadequate 1 projected. Home of her most splen did lit'eis would appear as temptnig-tar irets to the warriors of the seas. But th. circumstances are relatively trivial. The oi-ont.t imii itt the world could not create the havoc of an earthquake such that from which Ran Francisco rose like a phocnii from its ashes, more re splendent than ever, in a bare score of months. "It is a matter of most casual obser vation that we rebuilt New York everv 30 years. And back of the cities and the coast lines lies a great country which constitutes the real America with a registered total of more than 24,700, 0(10 men between the agei of 17 and 45 capable of bearing arms. "To pronounce such a land unconquer able is to utter the merest truism. No; America does not fear war ; she Bimply hates it. Moral Position Impregnable. "But the security of the Unite"! Btates does not ust upon her physical resources alone. Her moral position is impregnable. Not only will she never seek ad.litional territory by conquest; she would not accent it as a gift. ''Within her borders lie unoccupied lands sufficient to sustain a population t'vble that which she now bvmi well indeed, may she rest content a friend to nil narions anil, so far as her people are aware, without an enemy in the world. "The etming conference, therefore presac. s no arbitrament of the sword i' iv an ordeal not of battle but of faith.'' "The President today," he said "seem.-, to icy by hi acts that the way to dis fm is to disarm Kveu no hia clear vision ia dimmed by no Illusion. None knows better than he that the traditions of cciiturH's cannot be swept aside over night, none more-fully realizes that to attempt too much is to jeopardiie the prospect 'of any fulfillment." Conditions Mast Change. Whatever the outcome of the Wash ington deliberations, the Ambassador declared, conditions cannot remain the same. With the ending of the confer ence will surely come to the hearts of hundreds of millions either gladdening hope or deepening despair. So, too, with the relations of our beloved countries. If we cannot act in unison now there is klight reason to believe we ever can. "The project of raiting from the straining balks of peoples the burdens of great armaments offers a line of less resistance than was ever before pre sented.

BRITTON (By Special Leased Wirs.) Washington, Oct. 31. Senator Sim mons has the Eepublicans dased and npin the air tonight. It all comes through an amendment to the revenue bill which he introduced lute this after noon. It is an amendment which h to ao with the bonus or adjusted com pensation for former service men, the bonus that the Eepublicans, having pledged themselves to irive th Am!. can soldiers, cast adrift when Skippe Harding gave orders" to scuttle the tjtty oi iuo uopes or tna men who followed tho Stars and Stripes in France. The amendment, at the request of Senator Simmons, lies on tho tahlc ready to be called up if there is an ad-1 verse vote on the amendment of Sena tor Heed by which it is nronoscd to nv soldier bonus out of an exce """"si, ; V ' ' SV-v- -"'-V jW 8IMMS A. JAM1ESON RALEIGH CHAMBER NAMES SECRETARY the profits tax. That the Heed amendment is going to be alauglttred by the Re publicans is certain. Tlwy take the position that there is going to bs no excess profits tax, that they have cut ims tax out of the tax revision bill in order to keep it from clogging the whecla of business, as they allege such a tax would do. Would Tse Foreign Deb'ta But the new amendment, stated to be tho Simmons Walsh amendment by Senator Simmons when he introduced it, that lie had collaborated with Sena tor Walsh, of Massachusetts, in prepar ing it, is on another line. It proposes to pay the bonus to the soldiers out of tl.o interest received by this country on the debts due the United States by foroign governmentts to whom wo had loaned money during the world war. In round numbers thn. deb": is a,bout twenty one billion dollars, tho intsrest on which, would bs at six imr ent ahovo one and qnartttr billion dollar annually. The amendment would have tn Donus paid in annual installments as tiie annual interest payment art re ceived and provides that in case inter- '. iu uy one year is not sufficient to meet the h.mtis payments that the Sec. retar of the Treasury issue enrtiflMt or indebtedness, these tp be redeemed as tne interest from foreign govern ukMs comes in. The Simmons-Walsh amendment cuts tne leet from under the Henuhl who have been howling that the bonus wouia require increased taifiTTnn on the people, for no new tax is called for, niy me interest on the money that mis country has already raised and loaned.
