w their innate generosity by proposing more far

OF a policeman who is killed in the discharge OF his

IL proposed that retired policemen shall receive half
pay instead Of fixed amounts ranging from $40 to $50

the force have given unanimous approval to the two
amendments which were proposed and sent to the Board
Of Police Commissioners for approval.
According to the men. the fund sufficient not only to

WASHlNGTON-Plans for an as p.
sociation Of nations are already well
under way according TO high placed
Republican sources here. where It is
said that Great Britain. France and
other leading powers have been given
20 understand that the United states
does not intend iong to stand aloof
from participation in world affairs.
While details Of the new society
OF nations are still in formative
state and subject TO change am in
"A position 20 give a general outline.
of the plan now being informally p
discussed IN official circle.
In the main the idea would be 10
provide Tor a number OF groups"
each mere or less independent OF tho
others, but which could bring its
broader problems to a general. or
world conference, meeting about
once a year
There would be at least four
groups" or minor leagues"
4. A Pacific group.
2. An Asiatc group.
3. A European group.
4. An American group.
The Pacific group would include.
the nations which have just signed
the four-power treaty here-Ameri-
ca, Britain, France and Japan.
The Asistic group would at first
have a membership OF nine-Ameri-
ca, Britain. France. Japan. China,
Holland, Italy. Belgium and Portu-
gal-at present attending the Wash
ington conference.
! The European group would take in
I the European countries now mem-
b bers OF the Wilson League OF Ma
. tions, while the American group
would comprise the nations covered
by the Monroe Doctrine.
Advocates OF this plan claim II
would be more practical than the
; original League OF Nations
Each group, they say. could and
would settle its own problems with
out need Of bringing them before
b the world conference. In this way
/ Il is argued. the United States would
seldom, II ever, be called upon TO
|. mix in quarrels peculiarly European.
on the other hand problems OF
general interest could be threshed
out at a world conference just as
Pacific problems have been dealt
with At the Pacific conference here.
II Ia an open secret that Europe
greatly desires America 10 enter
i some kind OF an association OF ma
y tons and is willing for her to come
in on pretty much her own terms
However. having been accused in
\ European countries OF calling the
y Washington conference for the pur-
Y pose Of breaking up the League OF
4 Nations and substituting therefor
another league more beneficial to tho
l United States, President Harding Is
not expected TO take precipitate ac-
ton now.
Rather IL Is expected he will go
slow and allow the association"
which he favors just 20 grow"
An economic congress may be one
Of the next steps taken. Meantime
public opinion is expected TO provide
the necessary atmospheric warmth
needed 10 encourage the growth OF
