Arms Conference Will Cost
100000 Monthly
(Hy United News.l


WASHINGTON, Aug. l5.--On the basis OF
the first official estimates. IL will cost the
American government least 100000 a
month In its attempt to limit world arma-
mcnts and settle problems of friction in the
Far East
This is revealed In n memorandum prc-
pared by Under Secretary OF State Henry r.
Fletcher and submitted to Congress by prcsi-
dent Harding. requesting an initial appro-
priation of 100000 "at the earliest possible
date" Fletcher, however, emphasized his in
ability to calculate in advance the printing
costs attendant upon tho arms conference a nd
Il must also point out" he added. that the
ference covering the period OF only two
months. IT the sessions are prolonged beyond
that period. II will doubt prove necessary
to secure an additional appropriation"
Fletchcr's figures do not appear to include
amounts which must be paid the dclcga tcs
for their extraordinary expenses: nor do they
stipulatc the exact compensation which is to
be paid the ncGotiators and their EXPERT adj
viscrs They do show, however. that the con-
ference is To he n scale equal to that ut
Paris. Among the minimum requirements
this government will have to meet is listed
the organization of 4 sccretariat- general for
the conference"
The preparations contemplated. therefore
seem tn indicate that the total expenditures
eventually will neccssitate a large deficiency

the record. And there you are. You can
draw your own conclusions as to whether
