HARDING ASKS
CONFERENCE
WANTS WORLD POWERS TO MEET
IN WASHINGTON ON DIS
ARMAMENT.
TO DISCUSS PROBLEMS
If AGREEABLE WILL ISSUE FOR.
NAL INVITATIONS TO BIG
WORLD CONFERENCE.
Western Newspaper Union News service.)

Washington, July IL. - President
Harding has taken definite steps look
ing to a conference in Washington of
the principal allied and associated
powers TO discuss limitations of arma-
ment. He also has suggested TO the
Interested nations that there be at the
same time Il discussion of Pacific and
Far Eastern problems with a view to
reaching Il common understanding.
This announcement has been made by
the State Department, by direction of
the President. in the following state
ment:
The fact that the President has sug-
gested TO the interested nations a
joint discussion of the Far Eastern
and Pacific problems came as some
thing of Il surprise In Washington. The
departments statement did not make
clear what nations had been APP
preached on these particular subjects,
hut aside from China, which was spe-
officially named, Ii was assumed that
Great Britain and Japan were among
them.
Renewal Of .AnglO-Japanese alliance
is now under discussion by the Brit
ish and Japanese governments, but
whether this is considered by Mr.. Har-
ding as within the scope Of the pro-
posed conference on Pacific and Far
Eastern problems has not been dis
closed. Mr.. Lloyd George, British pre-
mier, announced recently In the House
Of Commons that he expected to have
statement to make with regard to
the alliance, but this was dependent
upon the replies received from the
United States. Japan and China"
Proposals for a conference on world
disarmament were made in Congress
some months ago and a resolution by
Senator Borah. Republican, Idaho, ask
ing the President to invite Great Bri-
tain and Japan to confer with the
United States on the question of limit
ing naval construction, has been made
a part of the naval appropriation bill
and accepted both by the Senate and
House.
The President, however. apparently
has gone much farther than the sug-
gestion in the Borah resolution. His
inquiries have been addressed TO
France and Italy as well, and there is
nothing in the State Department an
nouncement to suggest that the limt
tation of ornaments be confined sole
~ to naval construction.
When the disarmament question was
| discussed in Congress. various pro
posals were made that any conference
on this subject contemplates a reduc-
ton of armies as well as ~navies, but
some members felt that France could
not be expected to consent TO any ma
terial reduction of its land forces now.

DISARMAMENT
WILL GIVE HARDING PLAN FOR
CONFERENCE A TRIAL IN
NEAR FUTURE.
WELCOME "OPEN DOOR"
U. s. AMBASSADORS SOUNDED
NATIONS BEFORE PROPOSALS
WE'RE ISSUED.
Western Newspaper Talon News Seuice.)

Washington, July l2.-The sugges-
a disarmament conference at Wash
Ington WAS expected by officials here
to meet II ready response from the
powers concerned. Their attitude to-
ward such Il proposal, it WAS said,
was sounded in advance through
American embassies.
Tending to confirm this belief, in
the opinion Of officials, was the State
ment of Premier Lloyd George in the
House of Commons welcoming the
initiative of President Harding In the
matter.
1t is understood that the powers
were sounded also on the question of
the Far East. and whether Il discus
sion of this problem would be proper
in connection with II consideration of
disarmament. As II result the impress
sion obtains that the Far Eastern
problem will be prominently consid-
red.
The details of organization of the
conference will be left until the pow
Prs formally accept.
Before the conference actually
meets there may he some definition
If the subjects To be considered, how
ever, and an understanding given or
what the powers consider their spe-
cial interests.
No date for the gathering has been
SET, nor has the American representa-
tion 10 the conference been deter
mined. II is believed that Secretary
Hughes may head the American dele
cation.
London.-Prcmier Lloyd George, in
a statement to the House of Commons,
gave n full and frank explanation Of
the steps leading Ia the proposed con
ference for the discussion of arma-
ments. The first principle of the Brit
ish policy, he declared, WAS friendly
cooperation with the United States.
I'VE are convinced said the pre-
mier, that upon this, more than any
single factor, depends the peace and
well being of the world
The initiative of President Harding
with respect to an international con
ference on the limitations of arlna-
ments had been received with the ut
most pleasure by Great Britain. said
Mr.. Lloyd George, and he added that
he spoke for the empire rs II whole.
At the same time, Great Britain de-
sired To maintain close friendship and
cooperation with Japan, which har-
monied the influences of the two great
Asiatic powers and constituted AN es-
sential safeguard 10 the well being of
the British empire and the peace of
the East. The open door" In China
WAS another aim of the government,
together with opportunities for peace
full progress and development of the
Chinese.

WILL WAIVE DEMANDS
VAST DIFFICULTIES REMAIN TO
BE REMOVED.
PEACE TERMS WILL CALL FOR
DOMINION RULE AND PAR
LAMENT AT DUBLIN.
(western Newspaper Union News Service.D


London, July S.-The premier's con
ference, for the time being, is eclipsed
by the peace negotiations with The
Sim Fein leaders. Premier Jan Chris
tian SHUTS of South Africa has thrown
his prestige -On the side of IA settle
ment. The British press is standing
by him, and this, aided by the favor
able atmosphere created by the pres
ence here of the dominion premiers
has, it is believed, brought the Irish
problem much nearer solution.
Vast difficulties still stand in the
way of an agreement. Thus far II
mier SHUTS has been successful, but
the real obstacles will be encountered
when the British government, North
Ulster and the Sim Fein meet face to
face in conference.
From an Irish Nationalist sOurce
closely in touch with Premier Smuts
and the British government, it is
learned what EamOnn De Valera is
likely TO propose should he come here,
1t is declared he will abandon the
claim for an Irish republic, but will
insist on a measure Of dominion home
rule, with a separate parliament for
North Ulster, vested with powers sim
liar to those enjoyed by Canadian pro-
vincial legislatures. He also will ask
that the central or Dublin parliament
be vested with a wide measure of fis-
cal autonomy.
1t is said he desires also that the
Irish parliament shall have the right
of controlling its Own army and navy,
if these should be found necessary.
lie will demand that the Irish control
the police and postOffice departments,
and will ask for full rec on OF The
unity of the Irish nation.
He will maintain that the Irish par
lament should be given the right to
decide its own taxation policy and the
manner in which its revenue shall be
expended, holding that the power of
controlling the taxation of, its constit-
uents is inherent in the parliament.
This would involve giving Dublin a
l1t' Nolt' ~ " '"As 1870
excise, and also the right of withhold
ing any contribution towards the de-
Tense of the empire.
Premier Lloyd George, it is almost
certain, would insist on an imperial
contribution, because the imperial par
lament would remain responsible for
defense and foreign affairs, although
in IA last resort he might agree that
he Irish parliament should have some
voice in the amount.
Then there remains Ulster. While
anxious to go as far AS possible in
placating the south. British statesmen
are equally anxious TO see that the
northern section will be afforded all
possible rights. Sir James Craig, pre-
mier of Ulster, will enter the confer
cnce, provided one is held, under re-
Strictions, just rs De Valera will prob
ably be hampered by limitations.

MELLON ASKS DELAY
CONGRESS is ASKED TO DEFER
ACTION ON SOLDIER BONUS
mo TIME TO IMPOSE FURTHER
LIABILITIES ON TREASURY"
SAYS SECRETARY.
Western Newspaper Union News Service

Washington, July With II warn
ing that there is grave danger of an
immediate government deficit, Secre-
tary Mellon asked Congress to defer
action ON the soldiers bonus bill.
This is not II time TO impose sew
eral billion dollars of new Liabilities
on an already oyerburdened treas
ury," the secretary said to Senator
Frelinghuysen, Republican, New Jer-
sey, in IL letter which was read in
the Senate when the bonus bill was
called up. The bill has already passed
the House and the letter was in re-
Spouse to a request from Senator Ere
linghuysen for n statement OF the
financial obligations which the bill
would place upon the government.
The letter was characterized by
Senator Underwood, Democratic lead
or, who, after its reading made an
attack on the bill, as strong, forceful
and Il the point" In passing the bill,
the Alabama senator said the Itcpub-
lican majority would write in the
country's history that men 40 longer
sacrifice, but measure their service in
dollars" Replying briefly, Senator
McCumber. Republican, North Dakota,
in charge of the bill, denied that any
attempt was being made to measure
the services of soldiers of the world
war In dollars.
Mr.. Mellon estimated that the bill
would cost the country between ST.
JOO.O0O,OO0 and $5,250,000,0 that II
would swell the cost of government
and virtually defeat the administra-
tons program of entrcnchment and
economy" and that ii would block
''all refunding operations on the ma
tlonal debt, and depress further the
prices on Liberty bonds" These, he
said, would be inevitable direct fl
nancial consequences" adding that
probable indirect results would be
grave danger of renewed initiation,
increased commodity prices, and I'M
settled business conditions"
II should be derelict in my duty to
the country and to the veterans them
selves, if ] failed TO give this warning
of the inevitable financial conse-
quences of the pending BILL" he con-
cluded. THE result would be serious
injury and loss to the whole commun-
ity and in the long run, the veterans
themselves would lose far more than
they would gain. | cannot bring my
self to believe that this would be a
jGsled compensation for n service
that was performed as the highest duty
of citizenship and a sacrifice that can
never be measured in terms Of money.
"Our first concern, of course, should
he To make full provision for the needs
of disabled veterans. To that object
the country is pledged to give without
stint of its source 1t would be UNI
fortunate in the extreme, while we are
still struggling with that problem, TO
dissipate our %sourc in a sweeping
plan for cash payments to able-bodied
ex~-soldiers and sailors"
