London,
Oct.
14th.—The
‘‘Times’’ in
an
editorial
this
morning
designdtes
as
the
wise
words of
a practical
statesman
President
Harding's
statement
that
what
he
wants
thiough
the Washingto,
Conference
is
‘‘Something
practicable
that
there
is
a
chasce
to
accomplish”’,
repeating
also
his
assertion
that
the
desirability
of
univorsal
disarmamen)
at
this
time
might
well
be
question-
ed.
‘‘We
commend
them’’,
adds
the
“Times’’,
‘'to the meditation
of
ai'
who
faney
that
fthis
imperfect
world

be
effectively

declares

This manifesto
whica
was
submirted
to the
“*‘Times’’ by
officials
of
the Navy League
as
a memorandum
dis-
cussing
the
Washington
Conference,
says:
' The prineipal probiem,

lines,
for we
are
foreced

the
conclusion
that
it is not a material
problem
at all,
but
a
morai one’’.
It then
proceeds
tc empha-
size that science
may
so alter
the
ship of
today as
to change
completely
the
rela-
tive intermational
positions
according
to
the integrity of
the
various
pations

#trictly
to
the

““It is in the
exercise
of rower that

of

difficulty lies’’,
adds
the
memo-
randum,
which
advocates
that
the

be regarded
as a'‘field fo® almost

with
a
