ARMS PARLEY AGENDA
PRELIMINARY WORK IS
SHOWING PROGRESS
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Sept 8-Preliminarv
work in drawing the agenda for the
conference on limitation of armaments
to be held in Washington next No
vember is showing considerable pro-
sress, it was declared by the London
Times.
This work is so far advanced. the
newspaper says, that il is possible 10
begin informal conferences between
the powers to be represented in the
conference regarding the exact defi-
milton and limitation of the subjects
to be discussed.
The newspaper understands these
conventions will begin as soon as rep-
resentatives of the interested powers
return 10 London, and hope is ex
pressed that they may rapidly lead
to favorable results so that the main
| features of the agenda may be desided
upon by the time the japanese mis-
sion leaves Toxic for Washington.
In urging quick action, the Times
says editorially: Since the agenda
would mean so much it will be =
relief to the world soon to know that
| it has been settled.
| 1T is a satisfaction TO be able TO
announce that preliminary converse
tions will begin soon, and that in
some quarters they may have begun
already"

less they voluntarily abstained from

the foreign minister Pueyrredon last
night He said this action by the

the assembly, and that such action
would result in the absolute and per

the league.

action of the committee did not sur

GENERAL FUND, ROAD
TAX CUT DISCUSSED
TO OFFSET RAISES

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. S-The re-
duction of the state highway tax levy
and the discard of the general fund
levy for 1922 is being considered by
state officials, with the view of off
setting in part the increase in state
taxes granted for education by the
last legislature.
An increase of the state levy, which
was 20 cents on each 500 taxables
this year, is a certainty and if no
reduction were made in its various
items the 1922 rate would be advanced
by As cents, due to the legislature's S
edict
Governor McCray, however, has
called on the state highway depart
ment to study its plans with a view
of cutting off nine-tenths of cent OF
it's 39 cent levy, and he also has asked
the state auditors office to determine
whether the general fund levy of one
cent may not be done away with for
next year. Such reductions, leaving
other items unchanged, would give
the state levy of 224 cents on each
800 taxables.
May Tighten Load
The state tax board will pass finally
on the state levy at its session, open
ing Sept 10. and meanwhile other
state officials are considering whether
the tax load may not be lightenec
somewhat. Reports from various tax
| ing units throughout the state show
no decline in levies fixed locally, bu
these are subject to review of the
state board on petition of taxpayers
| An early conference on the stat
! levy may be held within a fortnight
f; but meanwhile the study of the lev,
is being made with a view of cutting
down the two items.

Lord Robert Cecil Declares
Purely Negative Position
Responsible for Delay In
Mandate Applications.
POLICY IS CRITICIZED

GENEVA, Sept S - Charges that
the purely negative position of the
United States had been responsible in
the delay in the application of man
date by the League of Nations were
made by Lord Robert Cecil, repre-
sentative for South Africa at today's
session of the assembly of the league,
which took up a general discussion of
the accomplishments of that body to

Lord Cecil reviewed the whole man
date question during which he took
occasion not only to criticize the
policy of the United States, but also
the lack of publicity permitted by the
recent meeting of the council of the
| league.
Regarding the note recently sent
| by the United States department of
state, he said that international affairs
would have been better advanced had
it been received earlier
Must Provide Status
| These territories" he said, refer
ring to the countries over which man
dates were provided by the covenant
of the League of Nations, must nc
longer be left in their present situa
ton, deprived of definite status OF
a definite government"
He said he did not want to appear
to criticize the United States, "but
the mandate should be settled in the
interest of he peoples directly en-
trusted with them and without further
delay"
