DISARMAMENT FIRST
DEMAND Of PEOPLE

WASHINGTON. June 23.-The PEG
pie back home" are flooding con-
gress with demands that immed ate
action be taken toward international
| disarmament.
| The number of disarmament peti-
tions that have reached congress in
recent weeks far exceeds those Of
any other question. It was revealed
today. Huge piles of these demands
now are stacked I'D in the foreign
affairs committee. Apparently they
are not the aftermath OF any worked
| up" propaganda.
"A survey of the record during the
last three weeks reveals SO petitions
| for disarmament as compared with
1856 for so or 40 other Legislative
measures. Manv of these come from
churches. but others are from vari-
GUS groups of citizens.
Indications now are that congress
| will meet this demand by passing the
Eorah disarmament amendment to
the naval appropriation bill. Senti-
ment for it is growing in the house
| in preference to the Porter resolu-
| ton.
The record gives an index Of what
the country is demanding of corr
gress. With disarmament far in the
| lead, recognition Of the Irish repub-
| lie comes second with 81 petitions.
Greater aid for wounded soldiers is
! third with 10. while next in orde
are relief for the Near East and the
Smith-Towner education bill with II
ana II each, respectively.
| Prohibition virtually has ceased 70
be a question for congressional petit
| lions. Only one demand for its re-
| peal was received. while three were
recorded for allowing the sale OF
light beer and wines. Low tariff pc
titions rave a majority over those
for high schedules, the score stand
ing 10 to 5. Three petitions demand
| the discharge of Admiral Sims Tor
his famous "jackass" speech, while
two praise him. Seven were recorded
| for the soldier bonus.
| Other subjects with the number of
petitions follow:
| Pacific coast naval base. 10; day
light saving. 2; uniform divorce law,
4; tax repeal. 8; for sales tax. 3;
recognition of East Gallcia and Mex
leo, / each; lower freight rates. 2;
maternity bill. 8: federal aid for
