OF the Ford bid, naturally fall into
these lines:
Housing the sudden influx.
Preventing profiteering.
Expansion OF public utilities.
Curling insofar as possible specu-
lation, Of which there has been
very little so Tar.
Probably the greatest point of
interest to the outsider coming into
the stage where Ford viii play his
mighty industrial drama is:
4Wbat is the reaction of the peo-
pic here?"
And the answer is that there is
very little visible reaction, an entire
absence of that hysteria of those
who see riches in their grasp.
Tri-Cities, as tho three towns are
known collectively, explain this by
pointing to 1913 and the bitter
awakening when the work was stop

here are still incredulous. They
say to one another: ut is too good

The Tri-Cities had a bitter awal1-

This would be permanent. Hence
they are loath to accept good news.

THIS rests largely on the matter
Of labor supply. The lumber is

Representative From Maasa-

tention to Service Mem I'm
Harding's Message.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Quick re-
action to President Harding's mes
sage to Congress was evidenced yes
terday in the House during an aft
ernoon of rambling debate on a
dozen topics.
Urging prompt passage of soldier
bonus legislation, Representative
Gallivan, Democrat OF Maasacl1u-
|setts, declared the men who won the
war received but scant attention
in the message.
Representative Huddleston, Demo-
crat Of Alabama, said the president
/ in his attitude toward labor had
"learned nothing from the past,
but proposes to hold on to the old
lsystem, the old struggle between
the employer and the man who
works for him.
when the worker at last reused
to evaporation, unable to endure
his condition any longer, rises up
and undertakes to avail himself OF
the strength of his organization,
he continued. "this beneficient presi-
dent would intervene and strike
| him down.
Representative Mondell, Republic
an leader, was quick to reply, say
ing he never had heard SO many
'extravagant and misleading state
| ments.'
Mr.. Mondell charged that the
Alabama member had misrepresent-
ed the presidents position, and had
made it appear that Mr.. Harding
had gone out of his way to express
views unfavorable to labor.
While Representative Garrett Of
Tennessee, acting Democratic lead
er, did not discuss the message on
the floor, in a formal statement
ne said it was wholly laeI1ing il
force, and that there was nothing
of leadership or in the nature oi
an appealing call in it.
.'The message holds out no hope
that anything win be done at This

why Some People Lie.

1T is astonishing how often peo-
pie lie just to save time and CONVEX
sation. You ask a man If he will
serve as chairman of this or that
committee next April, and he replies
that he will, knowing all the while
that he doesn't intend to do any
such thing, but hopes for some later
happening to make it easy for him
to. get out of it, Ny friend, Kee-
gan, will agree to- anything that
he is asked to do. Suggest to him
that he join party OH a trip to
the North Pole next Tuesday and
he will say: Sure, Til so. Wherell
1 meet you?' He would rather tell
lie, and then forget all about the
appointment later, than take time
to explain just why it isn't con-
veniant for him to go to the pole.
Much lying is due to vanity. II
is fact, well known to lawyers,
that a witness will nearly always
try To shape his facts to help his
side4~the side that called him. He
is flattered to have been called and
does not wish to prove unworthy OF
the confidence placed in him by the
side which thought that his testi-
nony would be useful Now the
motive back OF the man who hes
in court is somewhat similar to that
which makes man sxaggsrate q

DISARMAMENT
|. NOT Be BOUGHT
BY AMERICA
Proposal for Naval Holiday
Not ON Bargain Counter,
1t Is Said-Japan's Re-
ply Awaited.

washington, Dec. with Presi-
dent Harding predicting a crafty
ing world accomplishment to come
from the arms conference it was
made clear yesterday that the Unit
ed States has not entered the discus
sions with diplomatic purse in hand
to buy limitation of naval arma-
ment.
The American proposal to reduce
naval strength and create a 10-year
naval holiday, it was declared, is
not on the bargain counter of in
ternational politics and reported
treaties already drafted relating to
IA multitude of complications were
declared to be baseless as far as
the United States is concerned.
In his address to Congress the
president made brief but optimistic
allusion to the conference.
Agreeable to your expressed de-
SIRE" he said "and in complete ac-
cord with the purposes of the ex
ecutive branch of the government,
there is now in Washington, as
you happily know, an International
conference most earnestly at work
On plans for the limitation of arma-
ment, q naval holiday and the just
settlement of problems which might
develop into causes OF international
disagreement
is conferred on this capital city. A
most gratifying world accomplish
nent is not Improbable"
Japan's Reply Awaited.
The presidents optimism was re-
elected by American delegates who
are awaiting for word from Japan
On the naval ratio proposal, but
special care was taken to make it
plain that the United States, to
induce the other to accept the naval
program, does not offer any bribe
nor will it accept any price as an
inducement for altering the funda-
mental specifications in that pro-
pOsal.
All reports in circulation here and
from abroad relating to bargaining
commitments or drafts Of treaties
regarding a substitute for the An
glo-Japanese alliance, a Far Eastern
entente or pact embodying the ma
mt ,,r,c
were declared to be without founda
ton.
In regard to reports that Japan's
acceptance of the naval ratio would
be conditioned on assurances from
the United States respecting Amer
lean Notifications in the Pacific
and Japan's special interests in the
Far East, it was declared that the
Hughes proposal stands just as it
was made.
Neither is the agreement involved
in any possible arrangement that
may eventually be proposed as a
substitute for the AngIo-Japanese
alliance, it was said. Such an ar,
rangement may develop in the con-
ference but it cannot complicate the
naval agreement. officials insisted.
1t was not denied that there have
been discussions of possible even
Qualities in Far East and other
discussions, but American delegates
continue to take the solid ground
that the naval program must stand
or fall on its own merits.

Washington, Dec. Resignation
Of three more Chinese delegates this
week brought dissatisfaction of Chi
ma with the conference sharply to
the front yesterday and led to a
vigorous reply from the American
government.
III anything has been clear in.
the conference" it was declared by
the American government spokes-
man, sit has been the powers atti
tude toward China, and the friends
of China would be we'll advised to
receive what the conference is Civ
ing in the spirit in which it is
given. People who talk loosely
about the conference and in criti-
cism OF its attitude toward China
are either ignorant or do not have
|Chinas interests at heart
Despite this, the Chinese repeat
THAT unless they get Shantung back
and Japan's grip on Manchuria,
through the 81 demands, is broken,
they will feel the conference fail
lure and may have to withdraw.
Resignation of lesser officials is
taken as gesture" to draw at
tention to the case Of China and it
has succeeded.
| Mr. Hanihara, Japanese delegate,
said last night that Japan was pre-
IN To Com h q
length" to settle the shantung ques-
ton He left the impression that
Japan might even agree to give
back the Shantung railroad under
proper financial arrangements, in
q certain fixed period.
Shantung Discussed.
Shantung was discussed by Chi
r1ese and Japanese in committee but
Inc agreement was reached. The
topic of discussion yesterday was
the returning of the public proper
ties at Tsingtao, formerly owned by
the Germans The Japanese so far
have not offered anything that was
not offered in the note to China
of September 81 last.
Mr.. danihara, while showing
signs Of yielding Shantung, stress
ed again the point of Japan's "spe-
cial interests" in Manchuria. There
is no sign of Japan yielding there
and in view of the utterances OF
American delegation officials there
is little chance that China's demand,
for the abrogation of the Manchuri-
an leases will be supported by any
ever, that the Chinese will be dis
suaded from presenting this point
at the conference, as they were
sidetracked ON the Shantung issue
They. plan to propose to the con-
ference the cancellation of the Sino-
Japanese arrangements concluded in
May, 1915, which, according to
the Chinese, the Pekin government
was compelled to sign by threats
of force. The Japanese reply that
most treaties were signed under
such threats implied or otherwise,
but they evade the point that it
was in time of peace with China
that they forced the Shantung and
Manchurian demands upon her.
The japanese delegation has noti-
fled the conference of it's position
regarding withdrawal of troops.
Her position is based on the policy
that Japan cannot afford to take
risks where her interests and Sc
curity are involved. There is no
sentiment about the attitude. ia
pan intends to protect her citizens.
Her troops will remain until some
one drives them out. This con-
ference is not going to do it.
