ARMAMENT REDUCTION
ENDORSED BY LODGE
By Aaaociated Preaa

Boston, May zz.-UnIted States Senator
Lodge in a letter read today at a mass
meeting at which reductions of arma-
ments by International agreement was
Endorsed, said that President Harding,
has this matter very much at heart and
am sure you may trust in his doing all
that he can to forward it, Senator
Lodge continued:
"A reduction of ornaments by one
great power and continuance In arma-
ments by another would in my judgment
lead to war rather than to peace but of
the value Of the international reduction
of ornaments there can be no question.
1t is something all must believe in and
favor on all occasions"
United States Senator Thomas j. Walsh
of Montana, who addressed the meeting,
said he was strongly in favor of reduc-
ton and also of holding an international
conference for that purpose. He said
he did not believe the navy should be re-
duced but that we should have a fleet as
big as the biggest.

the state tax commission has the right
