Parley on Arms Blunder,
Declares J. Ham Lewis
Ridicules Possibility of Other
Nations Taking Conference
in u. S. Seriously
Dispatch to The Tribune

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.--Charging that
the international disarmament confer
encc called by President Harding to
assemble in Washington in November
will be remembered in history as new
Americas first international blunder,
former United States Senator James
Hamilton Lewis, speaking tonight at 8
meeting Of the Press Club of Chicago.
ridiculed the possibility of the other
nations taking the assemblage seri-
ously.
"First, let us remember" he said,
"that not one of the foreign nations
is accepting the call with any purpose
of changing it's national policy or
program OF war. They only accept the
invitation to avoid the appearance of
discourtesy. Each of these nations in
some form is in debt to u.s. They ex-
pect favors in extensions Of payment
or cancellation of Indebtedness All
these nations would send delegates to
anything we would call--from a gather
ing to regulate international bobbed
hair and knee skirts to shortening of
armies and the cutting off of ships.
"What would any intelligent person
say of q community summoning set
Of we'll known enemies, swearing to kill
each other, to agree on the length of
their guns, the caIiber of their pistols
or the size of their knives? What
would such an asscmblage amount to :?
Yet that is the call we have issued"

.Japanesc Cabinet Takes
Up Arms Farley Reply
Ans,cer to U. S. Imitation viii
Be Sent in Fe1o Days; Pre-
naier H0ru MAY BE Delegate

TOXIC, Aug. 20 (By The Associated
Press) .-Japan's formal answer to the
American invitation to participate in
the conference on disarmament and
Far East questions was discussed by
the Cabinet yesterday, but it is prob
able its dispatch to Washington will be
delayed few days. At present it is
forecast that the reply will be in the
nature of rcteration of the position
Of Japan which has been voiced in for
NAL notes sent to Washington.
Some newspapers here profess TO be
disturbed over the expression in the
American note that at the conference
there would be discussed matters
which have been and are Of concern"
They deem that this clause ignores
Japan's qualification concerning the
consideration of accomplished facts,
but officials seem to consider it logical
an carrying out Americas original posi-
before or at the formal sessions in
Washington, must define the agenda Of
the conference.
Pressure continues TO be brought to
bear upon Premier Hara to 20 to Wash
inyton. The Premier is norcommittal
on the subject, nut officials think he
may be induced 70 20. II he decides
not to attend they believe Viscount
Uehida, Japanese Foreign Minister,
may be the chief delegate. Other pos
sibilitics for the head Of the Japanese
mission arc Vlzcount Ishii, Japanese
Ambassador 10 France; M. Shidehara,
Japapese Ambassador at Washington;
Viscount Kentaro Kancko, Privy Coun-
ciilor, and Admiral Sotokich Uriu.

Navy Will Drop Half
Of Reserve Officers
Lack of Funds Causes Order
to Discharge $4,000 Serv.
inr i'm Glass f.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Unable to
maintain on the rolls of the navy more
than so per cent of the present COM
miss ioncd personnel Of the United
States naval reserve force because of
lack Of funds, orders we're issued to-
day by Secretary of the Navy DENLY
to all commands to discharge approx
mately 10000 reservists. The officers
in Class d, known as the Naval Coast
Defense Reserve, will be the first to
be discharged, and this br1nch Of the
service will be entirely abolished.
In reducing the reserve force the avi-
alton corps is to be retained, except
those officers who have not qualified as
actual fliers. All reserve commi ssions
in the staff corps. except the medical
and supply departments, are to be abol
ished. The dental corps, the construc
ton corps and chaplain corps will be
done away with, and all warrant of
fcers and reserve, except those who are
known as the feet reserve, will be dis
chargd.
The principal reason for the cut was
the lack of money with which to main
tain the force as at present constituted.
The other reason is that the depart
ment intends to build up an efficient
force of officers and men who can
promptly take their stations on fighting
ships of the fleet in the event that a
mobilization becomes necessary.

Chinatown Marches in Pageant
In Honor of War Hero of Race
Picturesque Procession Accompanies Remains OF
Richard Bue, Who Died in France Under
Flag of His Adopted Country

crowd upon the sidewalks silently un-
covered.
AS they walked the notes of weird
Chinese musical instruments sounded a
dirge. The plaintive music continued
until the casket was placed within the
hearse. Then the last journey of Rich
ard Bue began Led by the band of
the list Regiment, under command
of Lieutenant Lambert Eben, the cor
tege moved slowly to the Bowcry, and
thence through Pcll Street, again into
Mott, then to Doyers, and finally came
into the Bowery once more at Park
Row.
After the journey through Chinatown
the procession proceeded up the Bcwery
and turned over Manhattan Bridge into
Brooklyn and thence to Evergreens
Cemetery.
Four Chinese associations had charge
of the rites. They were the Chinese
Merchants Association, the Chinese
American Citizens Alliance, the Jung
Wah Society and the Lee Society. Lee
Du, of the former, had charge of the
ceremony, and he was assisted by Wong
Tai, George Lee and others.
Behind the hearse two automobiles
crowded with floral tributes followed
throughout the procession, and two OF
the Chinese soldiers each carried an
American flag wrapped in crepe.
The dead soldier was born at % Mott
Street. His father. Lee Long Hing, was
a merchant there, but died year ago
The mother returned to China. Pri-
vate Richard Buc died in France from
wounds on September 27, 1918.

recommended by Democratic Presi-
dent, by three successive Democratic
Secretaries of the Treasury, and the
Democratic Presidential candidate in
the last campaign. He not only would
have repealed the excess profits and
higher surtaxes instanter. but he would
have substituted sales tax, if we may
believe his campaign utterances."
Emergency Levies Only Lifted
"Mr. Speaker, it shall remain for a
later Congress to fully revise the tax
schedules in order to reduce tax levies
and burdens to the position that shall
be warranted when we shall have
passed beyond the shadow of the war
overhang and enter upon the normal
flow Of national life and business. In
this measure we have relieved the bur
den where it is most clearly of an
emergency character and relieved it
and lightened it for the benefit Of every
class and condition in the nation. While
there viii necessarily be some dissent
as to detail, in the main the measure
must and will be enthusiastically re-
ceived rs a most welcome relief from
the war burden.
I'VE have lifted rather than shifted
the more oppressive and annoying Of
the war taxes. We have kept faith, and
while some will rail against the mea-
sure for purely partisan purposes, it
Will receive the co1nmendation of the
great body of the American people"

William M. Wood, president of the
American Woolen Company, of Boston,
mors that he had been in Germany to
finance textile factories. He said he
did not go to Germany and southeast
ern Europe, but was in touch with
manufacturers from the former coun-
try. visiting England. Scotland and
France. He said that the French
seemed to be relying on fate to pull
them out of their postwar difficulties,
but believed that the peasant class
would really save the country. AS for
England and Scotland. Mr.. Wood said
conditions were even less satisfactory.
"Thcy are riding for a fall" he said.
THOUSANDS upvn tlANsands are out of
work and prices in E*Eland, he said,
In Scotland nearly all Industries are
paralyzed, and on the Clyde the big
shipbuilders virtually have had to cease
operations, Mr.. Wood continued He
said that, as he had gone abroad to
study conditions, he really devoted con-
siderable time to that alone. Germany,
he said, will be. the first Of the Euro
pean countries to come out OF the tur-
moil caused by the war. He added that
he believed Germany would 60 further
and be the first TO take the place of
leading commercial nations OF Europe
Though wages are low in Germany, Mr..
W ood said, factories are running full
blast, and everywhere he had observed
signs OF progress.

is a success in those countries. Each

work is accomplished In this way, he
said, where if capital were needed it

La Cuardia Says He Will
Go Through With Battle
Admits There Is Possibility
of Combination of His
Forces With HaskeIl's

F. II. La Cuardia, President of the
Board of Aldermen, is preparing a
statement that will settle beyond doubt
the question whether he is going to
stay in the race for the Republican
nomination for Mayor or whether he is
likely to run on Judge Haskell's ticket
for Comptroller or President of the
Board of Aldermen.
Mr.. La Guardia Yesterday, at his
headquarters in the Hotel Netherlands.
admitted there was a possibility that
there would be combination of his
political forces with those of Judge
Haskell, but he intimated that Judge
Haskell was likely to accept second or
third place on his ticket. He said that
as for himself there had been no
change in his original plan to so
through with the battle.
John j. Haliigan, designated for
President of the Board of Aldermen on
Judge Reuben L. Haskell's ticket, after
q conference yesterday with Judge
Haskell, said that he was not going to
withdraw from the race.
"For the benefit of those who would
like to see me off the ticket to assure
their own political success l wish to
say that I am going to remain in this
contest to the bitter end" said Mr..
Halligan, who goes on to say that pro-
hibition is the issue of the campaign.
"Those who oppose prohibition" says
Mr.. Halligan, "have a perfect case
which never has been advantageously
placed before the great jury of the
American people"

For one impressive hour yesterday
the rival tongs of Chinatown laid aside
their quarrels to pay homage to the re-
mains of one of their race who died
while fighting with the American forces
during the war
Rarely before in the picturesque but
somewhat lurid history of Chinatown
has such scene been witnessed as that
which was enacted when the Celestial
colony reverently paid its final tribute
to Richard Bue, private of Company
NJ. 3O6th Infantry, whose body had just
arrived from the battlefields of France.
In front of the gaudy buildings of
Mott Street the sidewalks were jammed
with crowds of Chinese, with here and
there an Occidental face standing out
in the mass of Oriental humanity.
In the roadway of the street hearse
stood at the head of waiting line of
automobiles. all of which bore some
legend in oriental characters. The
hearse stood outside the headquarters
of the Chinese-American Citizens Ali
ance. An archway of black crepe
draped the portals of the building, while
overhead the multi-striped flag Of the
Chinese Republic foated alongside the
Stars and Stripes.
A squad of twenty Chinese soldiers
in uniform carried the flag -draped cof-
fin from out the undertaking establish
ment of James Naughton, at 33 Mott
Street, and to the hearse, while the

the majority of the committee have
sought to impose upon him is that the
negotiations shall be completed within
the period Of five years. The Secretary
of the Treasury will thus become, if the
bill passes, the absolute dictator Of the
disposition of eleven billion of dollars
"a sum ten times greater than the en-
tire national debt of the United States
at the time Of our entrance into the
great war.
"No man has ever lived who should
sponsibility. We are amazed that any
man would seek to WELD such enor-
nous powers without submitting his
acts for the approval of the elected
repre- esentatives Of the people. No man
should ever be given such untrammeled d
control over the finances of this coun-
try and the destinies of other nations.
"Such plenary powers should not be
granted by Congress to an executive
official, even if the only questions in
volved were the mere technical adjust
ments of the terms of financial set
tlement.
Future Abuses Possible
"The unlimited and absolute author
ity sought to be conferred upon the
Secretary Of the Treasury runs with
the Office and might be exercised by a
successor to the present Secretary
wholly unknown, uninfoAmed and ia
cxpe rienced in public finance and inter-
rational intrigue"
The minority holds that foreign re-
lations OF great delicacy are involved
in the negotiations. 1t calls attention
to the efforts of the British Premier
to secure cancellation of the debt. 1t
questions the constitutionalty of the
bill, and says the Secretary of the
| Treasury has "dsclcsed state of con-
fusion in his department as to the
status of these obligations" and that
the Treasury has no settled future
policy. The fact is pointed out that
it is proposed to give the Secretary of
the Treasury power to dispose of many
billions more than is involved in the
bonus to soldiers.
The minority holds the Secretary OF
the Treasury should refund the for
eign debts upon the terms provided
in the Liberty loan acts"
