AMERICAN GOVERNMENT OUT
LINING PLANS FOR HUGE
ARMAMENT MEETING.
EXPERTS PLAN WORK
BIG PROGRAM is BEING PER-
FEc1Ep TO GUIDE AMERI-
CAN REPRESENTATIVES,.
(Westsrp Newspaper Union Ness Ser,iee.l

Washington. While diplomatic
formalitIes of the disarmament con-
ference move forward with delibera-
tiOn, the American government is ut
work defining principles and collect
ing information which will guide It's
representatives at the council table.
Considerable progress Is understood
to have been made both toward prep
arutIOn of plans and data for the
American commissioners and toward
canvass of the diplomatic field to
determine what international prob
lens are to be considered within the
scope of the conference.
Both the army and the navy have
taken an extensive part in the gov
ernments preparations.
Meantime, although the conference
has become an assured fact through
the Informal acquiesence Of all in
vited powers, the perfunctOry story
of formal diplomatic exchanges con-
tinues to hold the center of the stage
SO far as surface developments are
concerned, and to be the theme of all
available official comment. ..
The formal acceptance Of Great
Britain has reached the State Depart
ment. Formal acceptances from ia
pan, Italy and France are yet to come.
II has not been revealed what steps
may have been taken. automatically to
secure agreement. us to the scope OF
the conference. but the nature Of the
formal replies is taken generally to
Indicate that negotiations are entire
ly separate from the semi-public for
NAL exchanges over the actual assem-
bling Of the delegates.
1t is understood that the tendency
has been to hold discussions Of scope
in an Informal status In order TO ia
cIlitate free exchange Of views.
The American governments own
preparations for the conference are
understood to have reached far into
the fields of political, military and
naval inquiry.
A staff Of stnte department experts
has been occupied for some days pre-
pairing information, and like groups
are Mt work in the war and navy de-
partments.
The preparation Of army intelli.
gence has gone forward directly un-
der the eye Of General PershinE In
his capacity as chief Of staff, and It
is taken for granted he will occupy
an important place as military ad.
wiser Of the conference.
1t Is understood he has given par
ticular attention to the preliminary
collection Of data, because OF his In.
terest and understanding Of foreign
military establishments through con.
tact with them during the war, and
that he is looked on with especial ia.
vor as an adviser because Of his per.
sonal acquaintance with many men
who will come here In the military
groups Of the other powers.

Keith Clevenger Takes Inyen.
tory of States Assets.
Foremost In Many Things
Lays In Education.
GENERAL HEALTH IS GOOD
Takes First Place In Wheat and
Alfalfa.
Ranks Twenty.Seventh In the
School Standards.

With 1920 drawing to close Keith
Clevenger, secretary of the State
Chamber of Commerce, has taken an
inventory of the states assets and La
bilities. He finds Kansas is foremost
in many things, particularly agricdl-
tural products, but lags in education
and other civic functions.
On Credit Side.
On the credit side of the ledger he
states:
Kansas is first in wheat production.
Kansas is third in production of
petroleum.
Kansas is first in production of
alfalfa.
Kansas is third in dairy COWS.
Kansas is third in livestock produc-
ton.
Kansas is second in flour produc-
Kansas is third in per capita
wealth.
Kansas is fourth in coal and gas
production.
Kansas is first in horses and mules.
Kansas ranks well toward the front
in the low percentage of illiteracy.
Kansas is in the front ranks with
reference to general health.
On Debit Side.
On the ledgers bebit side he emu
merated the following:
Kansas has increased in population
, only per cent in the last ten years
being seventh from the bottom Of the
list in growth.
Kansas ranks twenty-seventh in
public school standards.
Kansas ranks low in the list of
states in the matter of scientific tax
laws.
Kansas (until the recent election)
| was the only state in the union that
was powerless to assist in the building
of roads.
Kansas is tagging in the matter of
consolidating and co-ordinatinE a
multiplicity of state commissions and
boards. many of which are duplicating
the work of others. causing needless
waste of public funds and energies, to
say nothing of the ineffiency resulting
therefrom-
Land tenantry has increased alarm
ingly in the last twenty years in Kan
sas despite the fact that the oppor-
tunity for farm ownership was never
more favorable than it has been during
| the recent years.
Kansas the greatest wheat produc-
ing state of the union, and most vitality
affected by inadequate traffic facili-
ties, has been helpless during the
transportation muddle of the last six
teen months, while other sections were
getting at least a measure of service
by reason of their possession OF capa-

''In view of this inventory" Secre-
tary Clevenger concludes, 1.-The State
Chamber of Commerce is setting about
| an orderly cleaning up of undesira BILE
conditions, bringing the business, in
! dustrial, civic and rural leadership OF
the state together. 1t is attempting a
program for the development of state
| builders rather than state braggers.
| After these conditions have been
remedied, and not until then, will be

Kansas in accordance with the motto

the states that a letter from Gen.
George w. Wingate, president of the
association, has been transmitted to the
governors of all the states and terri
tories.
General wingate's letter to Gov.
Henry j. Allen is as follows:
las president of the Victory Hall associa-
pleasure to convey to you upon the au-
thority of our board of directors, request
for your active cooperation in the follow
ing matter.
Evictory Hall, as you doubtless know.
will stand in Pershing Square, directly OPP
focus of its activities. It will be reared
by the people of New York by popular
Subscription as memorial to the war dead
of our city and to the war service of the
whole nation and will be dedicated to the
service of the American people as whole.
1t is intended to be the worlds greatest
war memorial in beauty and design, struc-
tural magnitude and breadth of patriotic
activities.
1.-The purpose and plan of our association
to make of this great memorial an enduring
national inspiration for good citizenship
and true Americanism,, ,crystallizes the
thought which has come to US from promi-
nent men and women in every part of the
country, and from the leading men of the
nations who were associated with US in the
with a view to fittingly emphasize the
national scope of patriotic service that
plan includes-as one of its cardinal fea-
lures corridor of the states. Here, to
each state, the District of Columbia and
to each of our territorial possessions. will
be assigned an alcove or recess in which
each may memorabilia its war service in
whatever form it deems most fitting and
whenever 1t may see fit to do so, it not be-
ing expected that any state shall incur
any expense in this beyond whatever sum
Of money it may decide to expend in its
own alcove. 1t Is in connection with this
corridor of the states, and with the
thought of nation wide patriotic service
project is requested.
1.-THE position taken by the association.
and endorsed very generally by leaders of
American thought. is that there can be no
for such a memorial. We feel all will
agree that New York City is the metropolis
of our country, the national center of our
commerce and finance and the main portal
thru which enters, approximately, % per
cent of the vast immigration seeking
American citizenship. Furthermore, it was
the port of departure and return Of the
greater part of tine two million and more
members of the American Expeditionary
Force enrolled from all the states of the
nation.

thru the city during the war and after the
armistice. that urgent need was felt for
n Hall Of States which was accordingly
established and occupied an entire buildin e
in this city and was maintained in part
by appropriations by various state legisla-
lures and with the assistance of state and
college societies.
Confidently hoping for a favorable re-

been in the forefront of patriotic services,
and with assurances of my personal re-

chosen in Pershing Square-the block
between Park and Lexington avenues
and Forty-first and Forty-second
streets.
Will Cost $40, OOO,O 900.
The structure will be modelled after
the design of the Parthenon in Athens,
but will be four times the size of that
building.
The dimensions of the proposed
memorial are stupendous. 1t will in
clude an entire floor devoted to the
use of the American Legion and assoc

omphe, IN Paris.
A Corridor Of States.

of the building will be the Corridor
of States The interior wall of the
corridor, which encircles the main
amphitheater, will be divided into al
coves, one of which will be assigned
to each OF the forty eight states. the
District of Columbia, Alaska. and other
territorial possessions of the United
States These alcoyes will contain such
adornments and memorials as each
state or territory may select to COM
memorate the part it took in the war.
