COMMUNICATIONS CONFERENCE ON
Delegates From Five Nations Welcomed to First PreIimi-
 nary Session Yesterday
By Associated Press

Washington, October S.-Equality of service and unrestricted access to all parts of the world were set forth as the objective to be sought in interna- tional communications by Under-Secro- tary Davis today in welcoming delegates of the five allied and associated powers to the first preliminary session of the international communications conference. Questions of strategy and selfish interest ion, he said, in the cooperative effort to increase communication facilities for every country.
 Delegates from France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan and the United States were present at the formal opening of the conference at the state department tho first conferenc in which the ' United States has participated formally with the allied powers since the conclusion Of the Versailles treaty. It was called oy President Wilson some months ago, with tho approval of Congress and as re- suit of the decision of the Council Of Five in Paris in 1919. to leave the alio- cation of the Gerrnao cables and ques- tions affecting international communica- tions to such body.
 Aside from agreeing upon the aiioca- tion of the cables ceded by Germany which is one of the primary questions to be settled at this conference Secretary Davis declared fit is believed that this conference will also be able to arrive at common understanding relative, to more important aspects of the problem namely the inefficiency in existing cables and unhampered facilities for the establish ment and maintenance of additional cable and radio service throughout the world"
 Developments in recent years. he con . 'tinue have brought a realization Of the vast importance of an efficient and rapid interchange of international com munication.
 "The more the peoples of the world can understand and appreciate those of other parts of the world, tho fewer causes of misunderstanding there will be and necessarily the fewer causes for conflict" he said. This can only be accomplished by the most ample and un- hampered news service and commercial intercourse"
 Responses were made by heads of the allied delegations who reiterated the hope expressed by Mir. Davis for the promo ton of free intercourse between nations by means of radio, cable and telegraph.
 It was decided the conference should function largely through committees with only occasional general meetings.
 The conference committee VIII hold their first meetings Monday.

Women Are Willing
To Pay Poll Tax

Women voters in Indiana are willing
and eager to pay poll tax, Mrs. Vir-
ginia c. Meredith, formerly of Cam
bridge City, a state leader in women's
welfare work, told large audience at
today's session of the Tippecanoe
county citizenship school in Lafayette.
The subject of the address was legis.
lation concerning women. Mrs. Mere
cith was the only woman speaker on
the program.
"All legisla ton is the concern Of
women" she said, "for the reason that
while it is possible to separate the
activities Of men and women, it is not
possible to separate their interests.
There are many subjects that make
special appeal to women at this
time, among them the following:
Enactment of a law levying a poll
tax on all persons Il years old, women
as we'll as men.
Enactment Of law that will pro-
vide for whole time health ofiicers for
a complete and ample maternity
service.
Legislation that will provide for
tees of public institutions dealing
with children.
Separation of normal. dependent
children from the defective and delin-
quent, with adequate plans to obtain a
home in family for every dependent
child.
Uniform divorce laws and the es-
tablishment Of courts to hear domestic
and marital cases, also equal rights of
parents in the guardianship of chill
dren.
Legislation to improve and
strengthen the laws that govern the
working hours and conditions of men,
women and children.
Legislation to encourage home own
ership through sound supervision of
loaning agencies and reasonable tax
exemptions"
