While I do not look for ccmplete disarmament, I do hope that arma- mcnt may be limited. The last war might have been aovded had not Germany been so heavily armed, and aside from the possibility of prevent ing war, the fact that 90 per cent of taxes goes to wars, past, present and future, should cause the nations to wish to limit armament"
 Not To Injurt Party
 Senator Harris did not believe that Senator Underwood's appointment came as a result of President Hard ing wishing to take his leadership away from the democrats in the Sen ate. He pointed out that Senator Underwood will not surrender any of his rights by Joining in the arma- ment conference, and his influence will still be felt in the Senate.
 The republican representatives have done nothing during the last session of Congress except what the democrats and western progrcssives have forced them to do," Senator Harris continued. They have done nothing to inspire the confidence of the country, and for this reason the democratic hopes of getting back Into power at the next election seem gcod.
 There has been tendency during the past session of Congress for the democrats and western progressiyes to join in what has come to be known as an agricultural bloc and this group has brought about the legisia- ton for the farmer and business men of the country. Senator Lodge in- troduced a resolution adjournine the Senate two months ago before anything had been done for either business men or the farmers. and had it not been for the fight of the demo crats this would have been done. Ine passage of the Norris bill giving aio to the farmers has come through t"e

efforts of the democrats and pro- gressives."
 Senator Harris said he believed Lodge still has a strong hold upon the republicans, though they are very much divided upon the tax question.
 Praises Alabama Senators
 No state has two senators su- rerior to Senator Underwood and Senator Heflin," Senator Harris said. There Is not a better leader than Underwood in the United States, and no man in public life has done more to help the farmers than Heflin."
 Business conditions in the south have been very much improved by the increased price of cotton. Sena- tor Harris stated, and the people of the south seem very much more op- timistic.
 Georgia is not depending solely on cotton, he added. but has the best food crops of her history.
 The people of Georgia are very much interested in the Muscle Shoals proposition" Senator Harris said. T believe Henry Ford would do more for the farmers of the south than any other man. Of course. the pow der, power and fertilizer trusts are doing their best to defeat his offer.
 Republicans Inconsistent
 The republicans have been strangely inconsistent on this propo- sition. At first they argued that the plant at Muscle Shoals was worth practically nothing, then when Ford made his offer of millions of dollars they said he was not offering enough. l firmly believe that the only reason the republicans did not appropriate federal aid to the proposition was be- cause Muscle Shoals is located in the south. I think that the government will finally agree to lease the plants to some private corporation"
 Senator and Mrs. Harris will leave today to visit Mrs. Harris home near Decatur, the old home place of Gen. Joseph Wheeler. her father.
