BY HIRAM JOHNSON (Senator from Calif "rr is., i The desideratum of the armament limitation conference is the reduction nf armaments, that the crushing burdens of taxation may be lessened and that wars may be less likely Every extraxeous ele.mr.t Introduced complicates the situation and makes accomplishment more difficult. Becauf this Is so obvious, many who look forward hopefully to a new world era. regret the injection Into the conference of the vexatious far eastern Question. Whether the oiutdon or the problems of the far east Is a condition precedent to consideration f disarmament, we do not knew now nor do we know Just what Is meant by the Far Eastern question. If general rules of International conduct In the orient are to be prescribed, perhaps agreement may be reported witlvout great difficulty. But the mere suggestion of Shantung and Manchuria, of the "open dooi-" and the Lansing-Ishii agreement with Its differing Interpretations, of spheres of Influence in China, of Korea and Siberia, Indicates the possibility of contention and delay and the almost insuperable obstacles which must be overcome before th real subject of the meeting is even reached . The sinister thing which may spell failure for the conference Is secrecy. Alrc-ady an atmosphere is being- created by the old familiar propaganda to taboo discussion and prevent free expression. It Is gravely asserted that Frank expression oi opinion in America concerning the matters or consequence which may come befoithe conference must not be indulged in, that discussion be stillfd, st w,' offend the delicate sensibilities -i those from abroad.
