NO provision is made in the reso-
luton for the preservation OF any pro-
portionate strength in the cambaant
corps OF the army and a mere discon-
tinuance OF enlistment would for n
long time. preserve the staff corps
Internationally enlisted and the
clmbatant corps insufficienuy manned
to maintain the instruction and train
ing which ought to be assured IL an
| army of l75, 900 Is to be efficient in
proportion to its aggregate number.
"On tho Ath day of June. 1920, I
signed n bill passed by the present
congress. providing for the reorgani-
zation or the army. Because of the
profoundly disturbed conditions OF the
world and in order that full benefit
might accrue to the people of tho
,, United states from the lessons of the
World War as to what. under modern
conditions. is required to bo the
nucleus of an efficient army. the war
department had recommended an
army of approximately 100000 men.
The congress, after prolonged con-
sderation, decided to authorize and
did authorize the reorganization of
the army ON the basis of en- enlisted
strength of approximately 100000
men, including in the organization
new arms like the air service and tho
chemical warfare service, the use of
which were developments of the war
addition to the pre-wsr strength of
the army.
The act authorized for the first
time In our history a tactic orsaniza-
tion of the army, resting upon divi-
sions as tactical units. and required
the training of the national guard and
the organized reserve in territorial
areas of tho United States in associa-
tion with the divisions of the regular
army. At that time, the congress
plainly regarded the provision then
made as the minimum which would
pro vide for the added arms and new
dutiee imposed on the army and for
that efficiency which the peace time
army of the United States should have
as the nucleus of mobilization in the
event of national emergency.
81 regret that / am not able to SEQ
in the condition of tho world at large
or in the needs of the United States
any such change as would justify tho
restriction upon that minimum which
is proposed by the house joint reso-
luton"
Representative oliver, Democrat,
Alabama, said he would move to re-
port a bill authorizing Immediate con-
struction of two airplane carriers to

Ruiz. Mexican consul at Los Angeles;
Mexican Consul Gonzales Cordova OF
Phoenix and n committee OF the Phoc-
nix Chamber OF Commerce conferred
today with Gov. Thomas Il. Campbell
to devise some plan, IL possible, by
which between 1000 and 5000 Mexican
cotton pickcrs in Maricopa county
either might be returned to Mexico
or given work In Arizona.
Consul Ruiz said he appeared under
instructions from President ObreGon
and bore a message that the presi-
dent of Mexico was most hopeful
that Gov. Campbell would be able to
adjust this most embarrassing mat
ter
Consul Ruiz said he understood the
Mexican agricultural workers had been
brought here under contract with the
Arizona American Egyptian Cotton
Growers association. He added that
the cotton pickers had been paid with
checks which had not been honorcd
by tho banks and he understood tho
association had shifted responsibility
to the individual farmers who are re
ported as being broke The commit
tee which accompanied Consuls Ruiz
and Cordova comprised Webb Griffen,
chairman; A. T. Pecina, president of
the Latin Protective league; r. Garcia
OF the league: S. II. Hastings. OF the
Southwest Cotton company: John n,
Patty, state employment agent; w. II.
Knox of tho Cotton Growers associa-
ton, and Harry Welch, secretary of
the Chamber OF Commerce.
Mr.. Pecina said that possible relief
for the stranded Mexicans could be
afforded by work on the roads. II
money for getting them home could
not be provided. He said he took
members of tho committee to Tempe
and other places in the valley to 500
actual conditions among the stranded
Mcxicans. He said MeHicans were
found without shelter, and that many
OF tho families had their belongings
scattered on the ground or hanging
in trees.
Mr.. Pccina said the lcag que was do

and chins. When tho stamping con-
tinued the ceiling supports gave way
and the balcony sank gradually to tho
floor.
Most of the injured suffered broken
arms and legs. More than five hun
dred persons wcro watching the game
when the accident occurred.
Tho greatest confusion ensued when
the balcony began to sink. Walter a.
Hakason, rcferoo of the basketball
game, attempted to quiet the crowd,
speaking thru his megaphonc. His
voice was drowned by the screams OF
the frightened boys and girls and the
injured.

in Democratic Thought

the only man on the new executive
committee who can be regarded as
having a public standing is Senator
Carter Glass of Virginia.
This new executive committee is al
most wholly a matter of interest with

Even within tho party the appoint
mcnt of this executive committee does
not bring peace or reinsurance. 1t
does not solve or heal the differences
which divide the organization into a
Cox faction and a McAdoo faction.
One faction of the party believes
that Cox intends to hold fast to the
position of leadership which came to
him by virtue of his candidacy. For
this belief there is good evidence Al
