JOHNSON URGES WIDE
PUBLICITY ON FARLEY
California Senator A d vi S e S
Against disaster Like
That Of Paris"
.(By United preSS)

Washington, Nov. ga disap-
pointing disaster like that of Paris
will mark the arms conference, if it's
doors are locked and secrecy pre-
walls" Senator Johnson OF California
declared today in a statement to the
United Press pointing out the urgen-
cy regarding the parley.
"Publicity is the weapon Of the
people of which they are ever robbed
by secrecy. Idealism was defeated
and high opinions dashed at Versail-
les and the vicious results were reach
ed by secrecy. Substantially, the
same representatives responsible for
the Versailles treaty meet now IN
Washington to limit arms. They
worked their will to the everlasting
harm of the world at Versailles.
Yet the people should have their
way at Washington. Diplomats will
disarm only when compelled. The
country should demand, and demand
in such a way that it dare not be
denied an open conference at Wash
ington and the fullest publicity

of a city-wide scourge, and would
have entailed a very large expense to
the city besides jeopardizing the lives
of many people.

made: nursing visits, 20; infant well
fare visits, 5; prenatal visits, 4; tuber-

PERSHING SEES HOPE
in ARMS CONFERENCE
Opinion of u. S. Army Head
Considered Valuable in
This Country
(Py United PrcSS)

Washington, Nov. S.~-Gcncral John
!. pcrshing secs complete success IN
the Washington conference. The
chief of staff and general OF the ar
mics of the United States so expressed
himself today in an exclusive inter
view with the United Press, on the
eve Of the assembling Of the con-
ference. In his first interview on
arms limitation, Pershing SAID: "Thc
conference will be one OF the most
important ever hcld.'
He believes the prospects are eX-
cellcnt for cutting down the chances
Of war.
He kccnly realizes the burdens and
suffering Of the people Of the world
in modern ornaments and war.
Leader of the American Expedi-
tonary Forces in France during the
most terrible war Of history and his
country's greatest authority on mod
ern warfare, General Pcrshing's opln-
ion on the conference is making an
important contribution to the proper
understanding Of epochal events.
General Prc:hing's opinions are
valuable for another reason. He is
just back in his office in the war de-
partment after a trip to France and
England where he decorated the
graves of unknown French and Brit
ish soldiers, and has just returned
from Kansas City where he attended
the American Legion convention, so
he has had an opportunity to judge
the temper of the people Of Europe
and America toward the conference.
