HOUSE PAvES WAY
TO DISCARD B0RAH
MOVE TO DISARM

Washington, June THE House
paved the way today for its right
to strike the Borah disarmament
amendment from the naval appropri-
alton bill.
In sending the bill to conference,
by vote of 232 to 11S. Republican
leaders Indicated that the House
would not have an opportunity to
vote directly on the Borah amend
ment. Instead Representative Mon
dell of Wyoming, Republican leader,
announced that he would advocate
acceptance as a substitute of the
Porter resolution, reported by the
foreign affairs committee, which
would leave entirely in the hands of
President Harding the question of
calling an international disarmament
conference.
Two of the Senate conferees.
Chairman Poindexter of the naval
committee and Senator Hale of
Maine as well as Mr.. Mondell, saw
the president today. They declined,
however, to say what phase, if any,
of the disarmament fight had been
discussed.
While there was n sharp difference
of opinion on the Borah amendment,
the House seemed united in its de-
termination not to accept any part of
the $9S,000,000 added to the naval bill
by the Senate.
Representative Burton of Ohio, a
former senator, leading the fight for
the total to the sum fixed by the
House, declared the people looked to
the latter body to remove the heavy
tax burdens against which the coun-
try was crying.
The Porter resolution was attacked
by Democrats, Representative Pou,
North Carolina, characterizing it as
"a gold brick" while Representative
Connally, Texas, Democratic mem
Der of the foreign affairs committee
declared it 4 'colorless, one half of
oneper-cent proposition without
teeth or whiskers."

Pueblo, Colo, June 7.-(By The AS
ISOLATED Press. danger of pestil-
ence. following last Fridays disas-
trous food has passed, according to
officials of the United States Public
Health Service; there is plenty of
food: shelter has been provided in a
refuge camp to remove the congestion
in churches. schools and private
homes and an army of men has been
at work clearing the streets of debris,
removing dead animals and clearing
out the business places.
Part of the city is again electrically
lighted. The gas company has pre-
partitions nearly competed for sup
plying gas for heat and light. The
city water plant is functioning and
tomorrow a water purifier will pre-
pare for consumption five million
gallons of water daily.
DIR. John G. Cornell, head of the
United States Public Health Service
for hits district, declared that pres
ence of contagious and infectious dis
eases is rarer than in the days be-
fore the disaster and this in the face
of the fact that hundreds of bodies
of animals are decaying in the food

developed within the last two days

Lasker Probable
Head Ship Board

Washington, June 7.-PreSident
Harding's long delayed nominations of
members of the shipping board are ex-
pected to go to the Senate within the
next 4S hours as a result of n series
of conferences today between officials
here and A. D. Lasker of Chicago, who
has been selected for the board chair
manship.
Mr. Lasker had two long conversa-
tions with the president during the
day, and although he said afterward
that final conclusion was yet to be
reached. the general impression in ad-
ministration circles is that he will
accept the appointment. He will call
at the White House again tomorrow
and a formal announcement on the
subject is expected to follow.

Policy Determined al
Meeting Of President
and Cabinet
Of Amity and Com
merCe Proposed

Washington, June THE Amer
lean government has proposed a
treaty of amity and commerce with
Mexico, it was announced today at
the state department.
Against Confiscation
THE fundamental question con-
fronting this government" the de-
partment's announcement said, lis
the safeguarding of American prop
erty rights against confiscation." 1t
was added that the position taken by
the United States should not be con-
fused with any personality or admin
tanning definite assurance in writing
by Mexico as whole was sought.
When such assurances against
confiscation are received it was
said. there would no longer be any
question OF recognition. This state
ment of the administrations policy
toward Mexico was agreed upon by
President Harding and his cabinet
today.
Statement in Full
The following statement on the
subject was issued:
THE fundamental question which
confronts the government of the
United States in considering its rel
atoms with Mexico is the safeguard
ing of property rights against confis-
cation Mexico is free to adopt any
policy which she pleases with res
pect to her public lands. but she is
not free to destroy with compensa-
ton valid titles which have been OBJ
tanned by American citizens under
Mexican laws. A confiscatory policy
strikes not only at the interests of
particular individuals. but at the
foundation of international inter-
course for it is only on the basis of
the security Of property validity pos
sessed under the laws existing at the
time OF its acquisition that CONNER
cial transactions between the people
of two countries and the conduct Of
activities in helpful cooperation
are possible.
Would Mean Recognition
This question should not be con-
fused with any matter of personality
or of the recognition of any particu-
lar administration whenever Mexico
is ready to give assurances that she
will perform her fundamental OBJ
legation in the protection both of
persons and of rights of property
validity acquired. there will be no
obstacles to advantageous relations
between the two peoples.
This question is vital because of
the provisions inserted in the Mex
lean constitution promulgated in
1917. If these provisions are to be
put into effect retroactively, the
properties of American citizens will
bee onfiscated on great scale. This
would constitute an international
wrong of the gravcst character and
this government could not submit to
It's accomplishment. If it be said that
this wrong is not intended, and that
the constitution of Mexico of 1917
VIII not he construed to permit. or
enforced so as to effect confiscation,
then it is important that this should
