J.. 5. TOPROPOSE
FEWER Arms
Hopes to Convince World of
Sincerity in Disarmament
Farley
CONCRETE PLAN
TO BE PRESENTED

WASHINGTON. Nov. 4-The poll
cies and program Of the American
delegation to the armament confer
ence are beginning to assume dehn-
lite outline and II the expectations of.
official Washington are realized, the
opening day Of the conference will
see a sequence Of developments
something like this:
Presentation. at the outset, OF
a concrete American plan for
far-reaching reduction OF naval
armament.
Consideration. along with this
plan, Of such troublesome prob
lens OF the Far East as may
naturally project themselves
into the picture.
Meantime an effort by the
United States to keep the nego-
tiations in the open so that
public opinion may exert its
pressure toward practical ac-
complishment.
Salient features Of the American
naval armaments proposed already
have been established, and although
details remain to be fixed. there Is
reason TO believe the reductions sug-
gested will be sweeping enough to
convince the whole world that the
United States meant business when
Il called the powers into conference.
1t would cause no surprise II the
leading naval powers found Il neces-
sary to submit the plan OF this gov
eminent to long and careful study
before they determine on their
course Of action.
Should the reductions proposed
prove unacceptable, II is believed
likely that the American delegates.
having once taken the initiative,
would invite the other powers TO pre-
sent in their turn some concrete
counter proposals.
The impression that such a method
may not lead to an Immediate agree
ment has been given color by the ap-
parent intention Of some Of the other
powers TO pursue a directly opposite
course and enter the conference set
ting a high figure as the measure OF
the naval armament they considered
requisite to their national safety. ia
pan already has indicated that she
would suggest the necessity OF main
taining a navy equal to any which
might enter her sphere In the Far
East. a proportion which naval ex-
perts say is well in excess OF her
present power.
The naval ornaments question Is
considered certain to be the first
to occupy the active attention Of the
conference. but & Is not the expec-
tation OF officials here that the live
problems OF Far Eastern diplomacy
will remain long in the background
As the conference Is viewed In pros
poet, Il Is believed that the dipfo-
matte and armament angles OF tn,
situation may develop simultaneous
~. so that instead Of having a fixed
program Of consecutive subjects tn,
delegates will fall into the practices
Of considering this or that problem
as occasion may bring it TO the front
IL is conceivable among American
officials that some of the Far East
ern problems may be brought sharp
~ into issue as soon as replies are
made to the initial PROPOSAL of this
government for naval reductions.
The determination Of the American
government that these exchange:
shall be kept as far as possible from
the realm Of underground diplo.
macy was reiterated today In high.

sion. Instead of sending the condemned to
the gallows or the electric chair, or inficting
the Nevada gas treatment, he would drown
them. The gentleman in question is a ply
sional in tone. He gives all the details, and
upon request probably would furnish a chart.
He describes it as a humane method. Per-
haps so, but if the thing has to be done
wouldn't it be just as well to use the old
method of getting rid of an unwelcome cat

To add to the ideas already advanced it
might be suggested that an even more humane
method would be to do away altogether with

Fish Being Wasted.

Fish. thousands of fish. enough to
feed an army or save n city full OF
starving Chinese are going to waste
down near Lake pcSmet and they are
there for anybody that will cart them
away. They are not trout but n lake
fish, but at this season OF the year
they are good eating and IL Is a crying
shame that they shouid be wasted.
The hugo ditch that win serve to

Good Will and Business

1t may be wondered why all this congressional
inxiety to placate and make amends to the little re-
public of Colombia for her loss of Panama. 1t is more
IAN sentimental.
The only two places in the world where platinum
obtainable in quantity are Russia and Colombia.
he Russian supply is, just now, unavailable. 1t is,
hzrefore, prudent to conciliate the remaining pur-
eyor of the mineral. Colombia is expected, this
ear. to turn up $4,000 ounces. It is worth about
T5 an ounce. American capital owns practically all
Ae deposits. British capital has, however, its am
lions in that quarter. Under the terms of the
merican capitalists holdings, the American govern
ent has first bid on the supply, and after that come
'e claims of the British government.
The anxiety of these governments may be ex.
lained by platinum having peculiar chemical prop.
rites which make it a necessity in the connecting OF
Ugh explosives. II was, indeed, at the urgent SO.
citation of the United States government itself that
ertain american capitalists made their ventures in
colombia to obtain these deposits.
A good deal is being said about the good will OF
he republic of Colombia, and rightly so, for good viii
n substantial business consideration. The point OF
'struction is that here, as is usually the case behint
he diplomatic interchange, is the quest of an indus
clal nation for the raw materials of manufacture
