LIMITATION OF ARMAMENTS.
Received March 4, 11.14 p.m. PARIS, March 4
The newspaper Temps, in an article, asks what right had Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman to affirm that it was possible in 1899 or now to arrange for the limitation of armaments. "Since 1899," states the paper, "we have seen the Transvaal, and Japanese wars and the Moroccan crisis. Compare the ideal with the stern reality, and you will measure the impudent confidence by which the responsible head of the .British Government is carried away. It would be wiser to recognise that the Hague Conference should be the work of jurists able to codify the-laws of war. It would not do to establish universal peace. To expect it would be to create illusions doomed to grievous disappointment."
