URGE WOMEN TO
LEND THEIR AID
TO ARMS PARLEY
Club Appeal Asks If
Nation Wants San
ity or Insanity

Washington, Nov. 5.-tUnited
Press Millions of club women
the nation over will be urged the
next few days to stir public opinion
to its depths in support of the arms
limitation conference.
A circular with this appeal
asking whether the nation wants
war Or peace; sanity or insan-
ity; life or death'-has been for
warded to the organizations of the
General Federation of Women's
clubs by President Mrs. Thomas G.
Winter, Minneapolis, who is also a
member of the conference advisory
council. This circular asking the
clubs to let President Harding and
the senators know where these
women stand, has the approval OF
the White house, and state depart
ment.
Mrs. Winter is no Utopian dream
er. She told the United Press in an
interview today that she hopes for
progress but does not believe arma-
ments can be scrapped completely.
In fact, she added, "pacifists are
trying hard to queer the whole con-
ference by saying they will demand
complete disarmament
Il don't believe this can be done
now; it will only be possible when
the world reaches a stage when it
does not need policing.
"If we lose our moral sense and
adopt the idea of utter frightful-
ness for new war-touching even
non-combatants-t Germany has
been victorious by putting across
her philosophy philosophy OF
terror which we at the outset of the
war held intolerable," she de-
clared

with one nation is considered dan
gerous-it only leads to the growth
of other alliances to Offset the first.
So a general combination of all
naval powers bound together to pre-
serve the peace would be the cheap
est proposition that could be made
an association of nations. Wood
row Wilson thought reduction of
armament expenses would follow
universal adoption of the League of
Nations. His formula has been re-
jected for the time being by the
United States. President Harding
has another formula, less rigid
than Mr.. Wilson's but having for
its object international cooperation
as expressed in the Republican ma
tional platform of 1920-namely
agreement among nations to reduce
armament and preserve peace.
If America decides that each ma
ton ought to be permitted to full
fill it's aspirations along national
lines, then the demand of the Amer
ican navy will be for a position the
equal of any other or nearly so. If
America decides to pool her

experts will be compelled to pro-
pose radical reductions on every
side. OF course nothing would be
done till all nations would agree.
The good faith of each power would
be pledged to the observance of the
new treaty or convention. A vio-
lation of the treaty would be a mat
ter for common concern and con-
sultation. Mr.. Wilson's league was
interpreted as involving physical
force at once to punish such a vio-
lation. Mr.. Harding's idea is to let
moral force and the play of world
opinion back the offending nation
into a corner and compel obedience

Nakaoka is of the type of poor

is of good family but was forced
to leave school to earn a living.

ton and predicts the success of the
conferencsD.
Washington, Nov. 5.-After ali
the formalities and ceremonies are
out of the way and the armament
conference gets down to brass
tacks, the United States govern
ment, if it desires to assume the
leadership, must answer for Itself
these questions:
What shall be the purpose of the
United States navy in the future
Shall it be large enough simply to
relieve distressed Americans in var
ious parts of Central and South
America? If so, then a few ships
are sufficient.
Shall the navy be big enough to
defend the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts from any enemy whatsoever
Then it must be as large as the
greatest navy, namely the British.
Shall the American navy be as
large as that of any power except
Great Britain? Shall it always be
greater than that of Japan? The an
swer is the maintenance then of a
navy as big as our present estab-
lishment and the continuance OF the
present cost.
In other words, what is the for
eign policy of America to be-ag-
gressive or defensive, worldwide Or
purely national?
What About Nayies.
Obviously it would be cheaper il
America and Great Britain could
agree to act together in the future
as they did in the European war

navies would be able to overcome

London, Nov. 5.-CBy The Asso-
ciated Press. Sir James Craig, the
Ulster premier, not long after his
arrival in London today, had long
interview with Prime Minister Lloyd
| George,

Compromise Offered.
London, Nov. 5.-United Pressl
Fate of the Irish peace negotia-
tions rested today with Sir James
Craig, premier of Ulster.
Continuance of the negotiations
hangs, it is believed on listers
acceptance of Lloyd Georges new
compromise. This provides for a
United Ireland with northern and
southern parliaments both under
one supreme body.
Craig will discuss his scheme
with Lloyd George and other gov
ernment officials over the weekend.
A full meeting OF the peace con-
ference is expected to follow Craig's
statement as to what concessions
Ulster is willing to make
Acceptance Doubtful
1t is reliably stated that hope for
success of Lloyd Georges new COM
promise is not very strong. The
plan has been only roughly outlined
and under it both Ulster and the
| government are asking concessions
from Sim. Fein which the Republi-
can leaders have so far refused &c
consider. They are believed to be
standing for a United Ireland, virtu'

PASSING OF BILL BY
OHIO SENATE SHOWS
new POLICY ADOPTION

COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 11.--Repeal OF
the long-established antitrust law of
Ohio in so far as it applies to farm
ers, dairymen, stock raisers, garden
ers and fruit raisers, is half accom-
plished fact, and the state has entered
upon new policy of legislation.
These things were brought about
through the adoption Friday, without
a dissenting vote. by the Ohio senate
of the bill of Senator Charles Brand.
OF Champaign county, representative
of the dairy organizations of Central
Ohio, which was backed by farming
interests generally.
"'hen ratified by the house Of rep
re- entatives, an expected performance.
these producers will be enabled to
form corporations or associations.
with or without capital stock, and be
authorized to earn dividends not in ex-
cess of eight percent. These organi-
cations are to be charged with having
and be made subject to regulation by
the state public utilities commission.
Tax Measures Reported.
w. In the house OF representatives the
three important taxation measures
two bills and one constitutional pro-
posal, bearing on tax rates and in
debtedness limitations, formally were
reported from the taxation committee
and made special orders of business
for Wednesday afternoon, and at the
same time ordered them, reprinted
with all amendments as speedily as
possible that they may be studied by
affected interests. There came Il for
NAL report, too. on the hard-fough1
Harding state corstabulary bill, which

New Tax Bills.
New taxation bills saw the light Of
day in both branches. Representative
Harry D. Silver. OF Preble, to whom
fell the honor of introducing the new
liberal constitutional proposal on tax
alton, introduced the bill to exempt
from taxation the evidences of lndebt
edness obtained By real estate mort
cages and substituting therefore i'll
ing fee OF one half of one percent, the
tax also to be collected again at eact
five-year period on the balance re
manning undischarged.
This bill is to go to the taxatlor
committee for a slumber of indefinite
period, and only to be pushed in even
of the failure of the fundamenta
change through any cause. Silver
bill is predicated upon the so-calle'
Shinn amendment, adopted in 1918.
