SUPPORT FOR PROTOCOL.
SIR ESME HOWARDS VIEWS.
SUREST WAY TO SECURITY.
A. and X.Z. WASHINGTON. Dec. 10. At a gathering of the English-speaking Union,' Sir Esme Howard, British Ambassador to the United States, said Britain might havo to go further than the United States in co-operating with other European nations to produce a state of confidence which would lead to disarmament ajid peace. This must not bo construed, continued Sir Esme, as implying the possibility of a clash between the United States and Great Britain " which other nations of the world must really learn to considor, as we already do considor, as the one thing which we will neither admit nor endure.-"
The Ambassador said that every European Power would be glad to reduce expenditure on armaments if only a sense of security ccuid be established. This could bo dono by the adoption of the Geneva protocol.
Compulsory arbitration was the only way to establish a sense of security. The thing to do was to avoid the impression that they wished to Anglo-Saxoniso the world.
Tho Geneva protocol was described as "just an honest attempt of perfectly honest men to find a method of making war impossible, so far as that can be, humanly dono."
