WILL INVESTIGATE
PROGRESS Of WORLD
DISARMAMENT PLAN
Republican A. p. Leased wlre1

WASHINGTON, Sept. Informal
investigation has been started by the
United States government of the pro-
gress being made by the nations of the
world in the movement for universal
disarmament.
Inasmuch as control of ornaments
was made one Of the objects of the
league Of nations, the inquiry into the
movement for universal disarmament
has developed, officials said today, into
an investigation of the present status
Of the present armament control
clauses of the league of nations cove
nant.
Without having taken up the main
problem of a radical and general dis
armament of nations the league of
nations, according to reports received
today i'm official circles, has begun the
organization of machinery for solving
the problem. Preliminary investiga-
lions and studies Of the league have
commenced and some subsidiary phases
of the main problem such as control of
the manufacture of munitions and of
the use of gas in warfare have already
been discussed with a view to reaching
4 universal agreement
Organization OF the advisory com
mittee on army, naval and air ques-
advising the council on the means for
execution of the armament control
clause of the covenant was made by the
league council according to official
adyices in Rome May IT. At that time
the question of disarmament in its
broadcast phase was not considered and
it was understood thaC it would not be
considered by tile league Immediately.
Some of the smaller nations of the
league pressed very eagerly but vainly
a that time according 10 the advices,
for the taking Of steps looking to the
application OF the control clauses of
the covenant.
In August the advisory committee on
military. navel and air matters met
/ with the league secretary at Sebastian.
/ Spain whore its first agenda was ato-
/ cording to official advices. as follows:
Elaboration Of the regulations of the
+ league rs regards the military. naval
and aerial forces and ornaments Of
4 states requesting admission to the
| league. control of the traffic in arrua-
ment and munitions, use of poiSCn gas
in warfare"
As a result Of the necessity Of seek
/ ing American operation, whether
within the league or without. in any
J effectual program for the elimination
I of ornaments. the official adVices re
\ ported that early action of any scheme
/ for universal disarmament was not -
/ be expected. At the same time the

of raising Cincinnatfs reputed quota

In order to be ready for one of the
largest crops of strawberries in Sus-

on full time while some are running
over time. According to growers in
that section, indications seem to
point to a bumper berry crop and
they can see nothing that will pre-
vent it from being a record breaker,
unless late frost in the latter part
of April or the first two weeks in
May kills the fruit when in blossom.
And as there have been number OF

be much higher than in years past.
