The speaker declared America de-
sired to appear capable of giving a
millennium to the world" ana added:
"lsn't it preconceived plan to de-
stroy the European merchant marine,
especially that of small countries like
mine? Shouldn't we do something to
protect ourselves against these at

would go Republican by 100000, and
issued this statement:
II had never discussed public ques-
tions with Senator Harding until to-,
day, and am glad to say that l found
him to be man of strong convictions
and with the courage to atand by them.
He will impress himself upon the coun-
try as the campaign progresses. He
has clear view Of the country's needs,
and am sure that the people will in
dorse it as sound and helpful. He has
already expressed himself publicly that
one of the chief needs is to substitute
party government for. one-man govern
ment at Washington. That will be
done after Harding is inaugurated
President in a way that the whole
country will applaud"

Reichsrat Debate Secret

BERLIN, July 8 (By The Associated
Prcss).-Joint consultations between
the main committee of the Reichsrat
and the Reichsrat itself to consider
whether to accept the Allied note re-
garding disarmament, as presented to
the German delegation at Spa Thurs
day, lasted from 8 to 10 o'clock this
morning. The proceedings were secret.
According to the "Zeitung am Nit
tag" the discussions at times were
stormy. Helfferich, spokesman for
the Nationalists, is understood to have
advised refusal to subscribe to the
Allied terms, declaring Germany was
compelled to yield to force. Herren
Crispien and Henke, representing the
Independents, spoke from the opposite
viewpoint
Former Chancellor Mueller spoke for
the Social Democrats, DR.. Schiller for
the Democrats and Herr Niesser for
the Peoples Party.
The "Zeitung am Mittag" reports
that the Cabinet members in Berlin
declined to give Chancellor Fehrenbach
definite instructions, leaving decision
the ground that as the delegates were
OH the spot they were therefore better
judges of the situation.
The newspapers express the opinion
th;t events at Spa have taken serious
tura The "Lokal- -Anzeger" sees in the
Entcntc's demands and threats of pun
ishment repetition OF the Versailles
Dictatorship"
The "Tageblatt" says: "The Entente
IS debating terms in form unheard-
Il in severity"
Tho "Vorwarts" Spa correspond
eet on the other hand, says: cal
{, c ugh the Allied demands are diff
cMlt of fultillment, they do not directly
threaten any Of Germany's vital inter
: ests. Legally they can scarcely be dis
puted, for they are based on the peace
treaty" The, newspaper thinks dis
armament Of the security police the
most difficult demand, ali the others
being technically capable of fulfillment
and in part not unreasonable.
