Another dis cussion of world nnvnl disarmament be fore the Sennte foreign relations com mittee todul was without result. The committee adjourned subject to the call of the chairman, expected within a few days. The discussion concerned reduc tion of armament by voluntnry agree ment among tho principal powers. Senator Walsh appeared to support his resolution requesting President Wil son to appoint an American representa tive to sit with the Leaguo of Nations' disarmament commission, and Senator Bornh pressed for his resolution looking to an agreement lictween tne untteil States. Great Britain nnd Japan to re duce naval construction by one-half during the next five years. After the hearing prominent mem bers of the committee said they had every hope that the committee would report the Borah resolution rnvornbly, but with amendments. Committee sentiment was said to favor including France nnd Italy In the proposed building reduction ngrecmeut. It nlso was said to be probable that the clause to limit naval construction for five years would be amended to as to remove the time limit.

He added that the more dangerous phase of the problem was in the "immigrant himself," rather than In 'Immigration as a whole. "All Europe is bending this way," Mr. Walli said. "Conditions tlieie have nut improved greatly s-inre the war. You cannot blame the people for coming, but that does not mean thc can come. The question is transporta tion. Only 1 ."00.000 can get here in a year. "We bae a perfect right to skim the cream of those who come, but that skimming should begin on the other side."
