CONFERENCE DELEGATES IN SESSION, CONTINENTAL HALL, WASHINGTON, D. C.
When the cost of the World War in both men and money was counted, the whole world was appalled. So far as men could see, there was to be no end to this waste, but ever more and more taxes must be paid to maintain each naiton in its present relative posisiton. President Harding invited all the nations to send delegates to a conference whose aim should be the Limtiation of Armaments so that the wealth and energy of the people might be diverted from destruction and turned into channels that would add to the well-being of mankind.
The conference met on Nove. 12, 1921. The United States proposed a very bold plan for reducing the navies and in resulting discussion every great question that troubles the earht recieved consideration.
