FOLK SAYS ARMS
|MPER|L WORLD
Foresees Doom OF Civilization II
War Preparedness compe-
tition Continues
HOPES FOR UNITED ACTION
BY the Associated Press

Morgantown. w. Va. June 13.-A
world hope has sprung up since the
great war that some kind of an under
standing may be reached freeing the
nations from the burdens of armament
expenditures. Joseph W. Folk. former
Governor of Missouri, declared here to :
day in speech at the University OF
West Virginia. Mr.. Folk asserted that
it required no prophet to foretell "thc
end of ALL il peoples were to continue
their competition in armament which.
he said, had caused even the United
States to stagger under the load.
The chief element of strength welded
from the last war, Mr.. Folk said was
the spirit of service for the common
good. Pointing to the heroism Of men
in battle and the consolidation of women
In service rendered for the welfare of
all. the speaker asked IL all this was
to be lost by failure to arrive at an
international arrangement to cease
spending a large proportion Of revenue
for arms.
Humanity cannot long continue to
carry the burden Of the cost of war,
I" say nothing Of the sacrifice of human
blood" said Mr.. Folk. even the
United States. the richest of all nations,
is staggering under the load of debt
caused by the war which makes the
lot of the average man harder to bear,
and which, IL not remedied. will lea i
in time to the overthrow Of civiliza
tion itself.
Shall the nations go on competing
with each other in armament? n so.
1t takes no prophet to foretell the end
OF an. Yet prudence must make us
realize that, so long as other nations
are armed for offense, we must arm
for defense. The only practical road
to disarmament is through international
agreement and that some such under
standing among the nations may be
arrived at is world hope, a hope of
mankind"

CRISIS IN FRENCH, CABINET
loueheur Expected to DlspIace
Doumer as Result OF Dispute

Paris. June 13.-(By A. P.)-Con.
siderable comment Is being devoted by
the press TO rumors of crisis within
the Cabinet resulting from a conflict
between Paul Doumer, Minister of Fl.
nance. and Louis Loucheur, Minister of
the Liberated Regions, over methods Of
financing reconstruction work.
Several cities, including Verdun.
Rheims and Arras. have been unable to
ioat the loans which Parliament au-
thorized them to issue for reconstruc.
ton because the Ministry of Finance
holds that the money market ought to
be kept free for national loans. M,
ltouchomr, on the other hand, insists
that the special municipal loans would
have the effect of greatly facilitating the
financing of the entire work in the
Hevastat%d areas, through the develop
ment of local interest.
A change in the Cabinet, with NJ
Loucheur succeeding NJ Doumcr AZ
bead of the Ministry of Finance, is be-
ing forecast in some apparently we'll
Informed circles.

WOULD PROBE MISSIONS
Study Status Of Those Engaged II
Work, Pastor Urges

A thorough investigation of the status
of those engaged in foreign missionary
work was urged today by the Rev.
Francis Skunk Downs, pastor of the
Market Square Presbyterian Church, of
Germantown, in an address before the
Presbyterian ministers in Westminster
Hail.
THE loyalty of many of those in our
foreign missionary fields, as to their
teaching the religion that we stand for,
is under question in the minds Of
many" said DR.. Downs. "We owe it
TO our missionaries and to the heather
whom we are trying to reach that all
charges be carefully and fully investi-
gated.
There has also been too much of
a tendency at home to soft pedal the
religion that We stand for and to throw
rosewater over the situation. What we
need are ministers who shall be
prophets to apply religion to the needs
of today"
