SOUTHERN SENATOR
 PLEADS FOR PEACE
Swanson Outlines Ways to Make ! Conference Successful CALLS IT TEST OF SINCERITY
Recognizes England's Right to Strong Navy, but Does Not See Her Having | Right to Control the Seas.

Washington, Oct. 31.-A. plea for success of the armament limitation conference was made by Senator Swanson, democrat, Virginia, in ad- di essing the senate today on problems confronting the forthcoming meeting. S Senator Swanson, who is a minor fly member of the foreign relations committee and former Chairman of the naval committee, suggested agree msnts which President Harding's en- terprise should reach.
 Freedom of Seas.
 "We should recognize,'' said the Virginia senator. 'the dependence of England upon access to the sea alike ID times of peace and war for the sus- tenance of her people and the contin- uance of her industries. but we should
 insist that though England's existence depends on her access to the seas. it gives her no right to naval supre-
 macy that places Ithe commerce of the world under her corftrol and dic-
 tation. The freedom of the seas would also give protection to the is- iand empire of Japan" a France and Germany.
 We should recognize" senator swanson COutlnucu, the uauScr thar confronts France in case Germany
 shouG be rehabihtated as a militar, power. But in order to obtain secur- ity for herself France should not in
 Sist upon military dominance such ss to make her a menace to others" Regarding Far Eastern questions Senator Swanson said that China was "the key to settlement"A and that ii
 would not be difficult if the nations would adhere to their pledges under 1 t1le treaty of Versailles.
 | Open Door Policy.
 Urging against .'spoliation" o1 Chia, Senator Swanson continued: l "The United States open door pol
 icy there must be observed and nc
 more spheres of influence and nt
 more special concessions must be ex ltorted from China"
 l Confidence that the dispute betwee1
 this nation and Japan over tn IslaH dksQf Tap. would be adjusted Ifht4 x7 sts.y Ssx.s,< <.

Interesting Case.

lnUcfeSSIAE S0SSs
 While the eyes of Connecticut peo- ole are centered on the trlal or Thomas J. McAuliffe. New Brtain folk are particularly interested in the outcome. With the arrest of McAu-- life. came the arrests of Sam ana Charles Giardino, proprietors Of the Hotel Grand on Myrtle street, who a1e held in bonds of s15,000 on a charge of bribery. It is expected that the Giardino brothers will be among the important witnesses to be used against McAuliffe. Former Detective Andrew J. Richardson. who was de- posed from the berth last week, and Jake" Wrinkle, who are in jail await ing sentence for their connection with stolen autom o piles, to which they nave entered pleas of guilty, will also be used as witnesses againt McAulihe' 1t is believed.
 There is an impression prevalent that in the event of the Federal court taking over the case against McAu- life, the efforts of States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn will not result in any further arrests.
 The Greenbcrg Case.
 
 Prosecutor Albert A. Greenberg, which was continued until Nov. on bonds of s15, ,0e0, on charge of ac- CT pting a bribe while liquor prosecu- ter in this city. It is the impression that Greenberg's arrest resulted from Information esecured by the stae of flcials from Salvatore Variola, locked iip in jail in default of S25,o0o bonds. Variola has an unenviable reputation in this city, particularly in rum rum ming. Variola was arrested in connec- ton with the theft of liquor from a storehouse in Meriden several months ago. He was also, it is said, at one time connected with the ring of Which Enio Renaldino, whose lifeless body was found in his automobile near No. reservoir in Pennington, in October, 1920, was alleged to have heen a member.
 Still Holds Job.

 Rating With Foreign Enyoys . PREPARE FOR CONFERENCE
Secretary Denby and Other Naval Au- thorities Confer On American Pro- ,posals As to Limitation of Sea Arm- aments.

Washington, Oct. 31.-TRe rank of am bas.s.ador was given today to the American delegates appointed by President Harding to represent the United States at the forthcoming conference on limitation of arma- ment and discussion of Paci6f and Far Eastern questions.
 Gives Equal Footine.
 The announcement of the presi- dents action was made by Under Sec retary of State Fletcher who ex- plained that the four representatives of the United States were given ann bassadorial rank so that they might sit in the conference on an equality with the delegates of the other in- vited powers. The delegates, 1t also was said, would by virtue of their special designation outrank ambassa- dors credited to foreign capitals, thereby permitting them to call on ambassadors abroad for special in- formation or to carry out such in- structions as agreed upon.
 The rank will apply not only to Elihu Root and Senators Lodge and Underwood but also to Mr. Hughes who will sit in the conference not as secretary of state but as a delegate of the United States and head of the American delegation.
 Naval Men Meet.
 Secretary Denby, Admiral Coontz l chief of naval operations, and the group Of naval experts working out | the American proposals as to limi- tation of naval armament again me1 today with the American delegates ir Secretary Hughes office.
 l 1t was assumed that the genera I theory Of limitation of naval arma. ment which this government believed might be successfully applied had been completed and approved at pre- yious meetings and subsequent discus sion between Preident Harding ant the delegates. The naval problem however it is. generally understood IS the most difficult one to come be Ifore the approaching conference. ant there is much detal to be zone over.
