LLOYD GEORGE SEES SIGNS
 OF IMPROVEMENT IN TRADE

London, Nov. g (by the A. P0-Pre- mier Lloyd George, speaking at the lord mayors banquet this evening, referred hopefully to signs of coming improve ment in trade.
 The world is settling down to work, !" he said, and 1t Is work alone that will fill the depleted tills which vii! enable purcha sers to come to the markets. The blue sky is beginning to emerge; the Washington conference summoned by President Harding. is like a rainbow in the sky. For. without the assurance of peace, restoration of business is impossi- ble
 This conference comes none too soon. So far, the war has not had the effect which every sane man anticipated from It in arresting the growths of ar1na- ments.
 Man is the most unteachable of all animals. If you infiict punishment upon any other anim7l he quickly learns the lesson But, take the late war; 1t Was the most terribly destructive in the his- tory of the wor1i. For that devastation competition in arms is large y respon- sble. That lesson was scourged deep in the flesh of the world, and yet no sooner are we out of it than the nations spend their substance in devising and anna ssing fresh engines for war. fresh subjects spring up everywhere to iustl- i fy war. You might imagine that the one purpose and glory of national or ganization was human slaughter. Tournaments today are thrice as ex- pensive in men and material as they were before the great war; at the pres ent rate they will soon be a hundred | times as destructive and terrible. Tn peace the burden was crushing; in wal the effect vii be too terrible to contem' plate.
 Disarmament Is the only road tc safety for the human race. Suspicious l fears, misunderstanding even quarrels are as inevitable among nations al among indIyiduals. and If a deadly wea pon is ready at hand, one day they vii
 strike
 The American conference has the fu ture of civilization in its charge; there
 fore I earnestly pray for its success. Twenty-Five years ago Lord Salisbur! | in this room expressed the satisfaction
 which the peop,e of this country felt a the peac solution which had just beer eached of our last serious difference with the United States of America. Ev | cry man who Is a man of British blood has been taught to regard a seriou quarrel with America ~r -as---4lrthinkabIe I That attitude of mind Is in itself guar antee of peace between the two coun tries.
 "But this conference held under tn
 auspices of America ought to carry Il
 a stage further; it Is the medication 0
 a similar attitude towards and hetweel all other peoples. If that Is achieved a this assembly. the Washington confer ence will be the greatest event of tn 1 last nineteen hundred years"

033 Amendments to
 Tax Revision Bill
Were Passed by the Senate President Harding May be Asked to Mediate in the Matter.

Washington, Nov. g. = President Harding may be asked to act again as mediator in the tax revision fight.
 This is the view of democratic leaders in the house, who point to the wide split in the republican ranks in both the house and senate on the income sur-tax provision in the tax measure.
 The democrats say that the majority leaders in both houses are opposed to the senate amendment with it's maxi mum rate of 50 per cent, but are faced with the possibility of it's final enact ment through a coalition of "insurgent" republicans and the solid democratic minorities
 Representative Dickinson of Iowa and other leaders of the "insurgent'' repub- licans in the house believe they have sufficient votes, with the aid Of the solid minority, to force acceptance of the sem ate sur-tax rates. They have agreed, however, to defer the fight in the house until after the conferees get under way their work of rewriting the tax bill. Under the agreement as outlined to- day by both sides, the bill will be sent to conference tomorrow without ins.ruc- i tions to the house managers, but the managers before agreeing with their senate co-workers on the sur-tax pro- vision will ask the house for instruc- | tions. This, it was explained, would oper up the fight on the floor of the house 1 probably next week.
 | Proposals were going around to6a,
 for compromise at a maximum figure O i AZ per cent. Spokesmen for the 'insur gents" said. however. that this was un
 acceptable to them and democratic lead | CTS declared fatty that they would fgh
 to the end for the fifty per cent. maxi
 mum.
 | The tax bill as passed by the senat | was reported back today to the house i Upon examining it members there woun | that the senate had set something of record by way of amending q house bi by adding a total of S33 amendment: Despite this great number of change: Chairman Fordney of the house way and means committee who vill head th house conferees said the Dill nrobabl 1 would be in conference only a few day.
