Washington, Dec "a O}y Associated
Prcss) An American program for
limitation of submarine tonnage was
presented today to the naval armaa-
ment committee of the five powers of
the Washington conference.
The American program proposes a
submarine tonnage of 200 tons for
each Great Britain and the United
States and the existing tonnage for
Japan, France and Italy.
American Proposals
The American proposal would cut
the existing submarine tonnage of the
United States and Great Britain about
one-third each and leave the other
three powers in their present position,
this is, France approximately $4,000
tons, Japan $4,000 tons and Italy
about 1000 tons.
The British proposal for total abol

have been placed on file without def
mite action, the committee turning to

China's Worst Famine
Government SUSPECTED

Shanghai. Dec. 15-(Correspondence of
the Associated Press)-When people
were dying by thousands and the full
horrors of winter-time famine began
to be felt in the great belt of seven
provinces in northern China where no
harvests have been gathered this year
Chinese newspapers that are printed in
the International Settlement of Shang-
hal, openly published the charge that
misuse was being made Of famine re-
lief funds by Picking government off,
Gals.
One Of these papers. the Sin Wan
Pao, asserted that famine relief funds
were being diverted to the uses of a
political clique at Picking and the pa
per urged that the strictest foreign and
Chinese supervision be imposed upon
distribution funds.
1t was after these charges had been
made public that the Shanghai Fam
inc Relief Association and the Shang-
hal Missionary Association tele-
graphed messages to RAking in connec-
ton with famine relief work.
In the messages Of the Shanghai
Famine Relief Association addressed
to President Hsu Shih-C Chang, the gov
eminent was asked to announce with
ont delay a definite policy for carrying
out famine relief work. The telegram
emphasized that the charitable public,

Denounce Turkish Peace
And Horrors of Puniab

Nagpur, India, Dec. 31-The Turk
ish peace treaty was characterized aa
"the greatest travesty of justice, a
monument Of hypocrisy and the
blacklist breach Of solemn pledges
by DR.. Ansar in his address as presi-
dent at the annual session Of the All
India Moslem League today. He de-
manded its revision which, he de-
clared, there seemed little doubt was
being seriously considered by the
Allies.
The speaker denounced "the hor-
rors of the Punjab reign of terror
and supported the incorporation
movement in progress among the
natives as protest against British
rule.
There is a divine injunction to
Mussulmen to practice non-co-
operation against the opponents Of
Islam," said DR.. Ansar. There ap-
pears to be deadlock between the
bureaucracy and the people of India
which is entirely because India has
awakened to keen sense of self
respect and is determined no longer
to submit to secondary position.
whereas the bureaucrat is still
thinking in obsolete terms of govern
ing with the mailed fist.
I'm order to win the cooperation
of the people of India our alien
friends must first of all disabuse their
minds of the idea of race supremacy
and do ample penance for mast
wrong"

Measures the Peking government
adopted to obtain famine funds inI
cluded surtaxes of certain kinds and
increased railway fares on government
lines.
The message that was forwarded by
the Shanghai Missionary Association
was addressed to the British and Am
erican ministers and requested them to
urge the Chinese government to issue
an early report on famine relief sur
taxes and intimate how and when the
funds will be employed.
Before the message was authorized
a report on conditions in famine areas
was given by Bishop j. w. Lambuth
of the board of missions of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church. He said that
not only are the people trying to SUBJ.
sist on grass and roots having denuded
trees of leaves and bark, but in places
they scraped UP growing things to such
an extent that fields are left torn IN
behind them. Children, he said, have
vanished from many villages. as they
have been sold or killed, and he added.
that so many have been thrown into
wells that many Of these sources of
water supply have become polluted.
Whole populations, he asserted, will
perish before May unless immediate
aid is forthcoming. Reports that have
come to Shanghai from widely separat-
ed districts give basis to the belief
that the present famine IL the worst
China has ever experienced.

"Spend and Be Spent"

People were unprepared for the
profound shock occasioned by the
death of Governor Parkhurst All
81 previous information had been Of a
very favorable nature and all looked
for his speedy recovery and resump-
ton of the duties of his Office. The
sudden collapse, wholly unexpected,
appeals with especial pathos to
everyone because of the probable
ity that but for the long strain
to which he had been subjected
nature might have been able to
overcome the poison of the disease.
All that skill and careful attendance
could afford him was given without
stint, but no one might relieve his
mind of the sense of official respon-
sibility, no one might make up to
him the vitality expended in his very
active life, intensively SO during the
past year.
The fifty-six years Of his life had
been full. He had given of himself
unreservedly, with high spirit and
unflagging energy. Notwithstanding
the demands Of a large and exacting.
business in period of unusual strain
he nevertheless entered whole-heart-
eddy into war work and civic re-
sponsibilities. Spend and be spent"
So it is a career seemingly inter-
rupted in the flower of its achieve
ment and men cannot understand
why it is SO. He came to the govern
crship with every promise for sue
cessful administration and he Is TAX
en- away before it became possible for
him to fulfil. He has, however. i'm
pressed on his State the policies for
which he stood and has left us his
splendid example of zeal and cour-
age and-devotion to the task to which
he had set his hand.
And IN this hour people are
reminded of the bereaved wife
and family, of the ordeal through
which she has been compelled to
pass by reason of the quarantine
regulations combining her to the
sick room and excluding the COM
fort Of friends, a poignant feature
of an event, the most tragic in
the history of Names Governors.

\ Political Organization fol
Women Only?

There are numerous evidences
that many women have not entirely
made up their minds on the question
of political bodies and organizations
for women only, and perhaps there
are not many men who have given
the subject much thought either
way.
Why should there be any active
endeavor to pcrpetuatc an organiza-
ton or a party for women alone :?
The suffrage amendment was de-
signed, it was said. to take sex out
OK politics. Why have a woman's
party distinctively. which will most
certainly tend IN put sex back? Is
there any reason why men ana wom-
en- should not work together In poll
tics. the most serious business of the
nation. as they work together in edu-
caion. religion, commercial and in
dustrial pursuits and In all the ordi-
nary activities OF life?
Our government is and has been
conducted By political parties and
lucy seem to be the best machinery
we have devised. They were not pro.

experience of the men who drafted it.

up. representing two different schools
Of thought and two somewhat differ
emit types Of men. That this should
be 90 was a. natural and inevitable
az the fact that there are two sides
to every question, both containing
some measure Of truth. In every
country where the people exercise
political power the same thing is
true: There are two more or less dis
tinct parties that stand for certain
broad principles and represent GER
tain general tendencies.
Since it is undeniable that the
party is an inevitable dnstitution.
isn't it the logical thing that the new
voter. the woman, should accept it as
such. join the one which seems to the
individual voter the most likely to
produce the best results for the coun-
try as a whole, and then to stick by 1t
and devote her political energies to
making it as good and as useful as
possible?
If the party. in the judgment of the
voters, needs Improvement, improve
1t. In democracy our government
is as good as we, the people, choose
to make it. Nothing is gained in the
way Of reform by going off and leav-
ing the thing we disapprove. The
thing to do is to stay by and make it
what we want it to be. Whatever
diverts our energies, detracts by just
so much from the success of the
thing we are after.
This newspaper believes in the
principles, the traditions and the fu-
ture of the Republican party. al
though it. is not unmindful of certain
mistakes in it's history. 1t also be-
lieves that the opposite party has a
useful place in the scheme of things.
Believing this, we feel that the ac-
tivities of numerous excellent women
working toward the perpetuation of
political organization for : women
only, under the fallacy of so-called
non craftsmanship is a serious mis-
take.
Practical politics reduced to its
lowest terms is about like this: The
citizen expresses himself by means
of his vote and by the vote only.
Voting is carried on in general
through the machinery of two great
recognized parties. The citizen allies
himself with the party in whose
principles he believes and has part
in helping to shape it's policies. He
then casts his vote for the candidates
who represent those policies.
Non-partisan and independent vot-
ing in and Of itself can never be eff
fective. 1t means nothing more nor
less than that the voter who prides
himself on being non-partisan, votes
sometimes with one party. sometimes
with the other. In the final analysis
the party is the predominant feature
of our practical methods of govern
ment and it is through the party that
things are accomplished.
