He added: “France and the United States are threatened with suffocation under the weight of their gold” The world as a whole did not escape his criticism. It was bound to the wheels of the hideous past, he said. Trade was spelled as tariffs. There were, however, a few signs of hope. Britain had a bal- anced budget; Russia had concentrated. peace in the last quarter of a century. At several periods during his address he spoke vehemently of the “palsied hands of New York and French bank- ing"; he took' vigorous exception to the Puritan intolerance of United States society and critized the nation for its smugness and bombast. He said that 11 France had her way, Germany and Germans would be dead. In a two-hour talk on present condi- tions he held that the world today was strangled by tat-m walls which pre- vented ltqnidavtion of debts, that trade was life, that Japan was heir to “Ho- neninnem mmW”; that Russia in her non-aggression pacts had made Everything was Muted not at all for the best in this “ of worlds" Tueedey of Int week by I".

Of France, especially, he had much to say. “This nation is bound to the wheel of its own national vanity,” he announced. “France refuses to believe that modern life is passing from a na- tional to a planetary stage. The nation will consent to any measure of disarm- ament but it will never consent to an equality of armaments with a rehabil- itated Germany,” Canada did not quite get free of cri- ticism. Col. Hunter believed that Can- ada was “catching” the Puritan intol- erance of the United States; it .was “too close” to escape lt completely. He also added: “Canadians do not seem to appreciate Russia as a market. The nation must be at peace with and trade with this country.” “If the troubles of the world are mainly economic," he said, “why does the Disarmament Conference not lay stress on that?” He outlined what he believed to be the “real task of the Disarmament Conference" in order of importance.' First the Conference should appoint an econOmic council to study and report on the economic sit- uation of the world and this council should be armed with authority to ef- fect the remedy; secondly, the peace treaty should be revised in the, cause of truth, not greed and hate; thirdly, the provision or international control of armament manufacture and distribu- tion; fourthly, the rectum 0f ineq- ualities between motors, conquered and neutrals; nithly, the provision of a machine for control of tutu-national questions; sixthly, restriction of mem- bership in the league to countries hav- ing enective governments.
