Says United States Sets Example In Disarmanent Which Other Nations Do Not Follow—Does Not Believe Dis¬ armament Is Way To Maintain Peace
"There are diftorences ot opinion on the question of the saftest course to pursue in order to continue at peace With the nations of the world. There can be no doubt of our desire for peace." Congressman Wm. J. Ditter de¬ clared in an address in Congress on the naval appropriations bill as he urged the building up of the ITnited States navy to Its maximum strength. "The record of our actions is eloquent testimony ot our ambitions. Many men and women are apprehensive that thc present naval policy will prove conducive to conflict rather than a de- terivnt of war. I cannot concur with this conclusion. I attribute the high¬ est motives to thoae who honestly champion the cause of peace and who, actuated by lofty purposes and a n.ibje idealism, seek to stop a competitive armanents race, but I am not persuad¬ ed that the course which they advocate will lead to the attainment of the de¬ sired goal.
"To be at peace with other nations of the world Is our fondest i)opfe and our sincere purpoae," he declaix>d. "To this end Our every endeavor should be dedicated and it Is my abiding con¬ viction that a navy second to none constitutes a dedlatlon to this causf," he asserted aa the House appiauded.
The United States set an example in di.sarmament which other nations did not follow, Congressman Ditter declared.
"I submit that actions  speak louder than words and that history does not I record a flner example of the wllling- I ness to  sacrifice for a  practical  solu- ! tion of a world problem than the volun- ! tary destruction of battleships by thc I United  States following the Washlng- I ton conference in 1922, he said. I     "We can claim leadership in an en- : deavor  and   a  continuity   of   endeavor ] which   would   have   tranquillzed     the world had the s.ame spirit of sincerity and honesty and frankness character¬ ized the purposes of other nations as j that which   was    manifested   by    this I country," he added.
This nation, however, he continued, can not afford to hold itself aloof from other  world   powers.
"The Initiative, the Ingenuity, the curajje of America cannot be conflned," he emphasized,
"We are a world power and as such must face facts not fant-les. We must deal In realities, not dreams. We must be practical not Idealistl."
Creating hate againat munition man¬ ufacturers will not solve the problem of war," Congressman Ditter declared. "I insist that It should not be possible for flnantlal interests to marshal tho manhood of America to aid in maneu¬ vers of aggrandi5:ement, but raisln.g a hue and cry about munition makoi-s, potent as such hue and cry may bi' to excite popular wrath, w-ill never ailay suspicions, dsti-oy doubts or heal festering sores of old animosities.
"T.aking the proflts out of war will not tako the venom out of hate.
"Unfortunately, waa Is a horrible reality. I am afraid that it will con¬ tinue to be a reality until the discord¬ ant .notes of human frallltles are brought into harmony with the music of   eternal  verities.
