REDUCTION OF ARMAMENTS.
AN AMERICAN CAMPAIGN. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Washington. March 28. Mass meetings to demand a reduction of armaments were held in 15 States under the auspices of the Wojnen’s World Disarmament Committee. Senator Borah addressed the Washfington meeting which adopted jl r&solujtion asking President Harding to summon an international disarmament conference. Mr. Byran telegraphed to the meeting that he was heartily in favor of disarmament, by agreement with other nations if possible, by example if necessary. Senator Borah said that in 1920 Britain, the United States, Japan, France and Italy expended for military and naval purposes 16,442 million dollars, ■which was 2000 millions more than they expended for the same purposes during the 14 years 1900-1914, and the United States was to have the greatest navy in the world. Thus the race had begun, the mad race which between 1900 and 1914 brought England and Germany, hitherto close friends, to war. He could see no relief for overburdened Americans if the naval race continued.
