ANT|bEER MEASURE HITS UNEXPECTED
 TROUBLE IN HOUSE
While Enactment Before Re- cess Doubtful, There Is Scant Hope for the
 Sick or Thirsty
By Associated Press

Washington August H.-Back in the home of it's friends. the Willis Campbell anti-beer bill ran into un expected trouble in the House to- day with little prospect Of it's final enactment prior to the proposed re- cess of. Congress.
 But tonight there was said to be seant hope for the thirsty that the bureau of interna toni reyende, cut ting through the legislative tangle would tissue regulations long ago prepared for the sale of beer 10 the sick. Immediately after their failure to get the bill to conference. pro- hibition leaders declared they had been assured that the regulations would be thrown away, in view of the hostile attitude of both the Senate and House toward the once popular beverage as a medicine.
 Officials at the treasury, however, refused to discuss this question be- syond saying that it was possible the regulations might be issued if final action on the measure was deferred by Congress until after the recess.
 voistead Meets Opposition
 Representative Walsh of Mas Sachusetts, and Mann or lllnOis, ro- publicans, led the fight on the pro- posal by Chairman Volstead to send the beer bill tosconference. Mir Mann insisted that, inasmuch as the Senate had adopted far-reaching; amend meats, the House should be given the right to vote. on them separately. While this question was pending, MT. Walsh, member of the judiciary committee, made a point of order on the Nolstezd motion on the ground that Senate changes extended the provisions of the original volstead act to Hawaii and the Virgin Islands, which involved possibly large ex- spenditures forA enforcement N Mir. Walsh threw the prohibi ton forces into excitement and confusion by asserting that the original Vol stead act did not apply to these pos sessions, For a quarter of an hour MT. volstead and others ran through the printed text without being able ito cite the provision which he insisted it contained Speaker Gillette ruled that inasmuch as the provision could not be cited the point or order must be sustained. This left the question of conference in the air. The only way by which it can be called up IS by special rule.
 MT. Volstead announced later that the section relating to Hawaii and the Virgin Islands had been written into the bill by the House two years ago. only to be striken out by the Senate Both places were declared by me m 8bers who have been there recently to be exceedingly dry.

4 GREAT POWERS FORMALLY ASKED
 ID JOIN MEETING
America Pledges Co-opera- ton in Effort to Facilitate Reduction in Outlay for
 War Materials
By Associated Press

Washington, August 11.-Putting into definite terms its proposal for a disarmament conference, the United States today invited the great powers to unite in "a practi- cal effort to remove the causes of misunderstanding" and so facilitate reduction of the worlds enormous outlay for the materials of war.
 Informal identic notes of invitation forwarded to Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan the American gov ernment pledged its own unstinted co- operation in such an efofrt and further defined as follows it's own conceptioneof the principles involved:
 That there can be no hope for peace or stability until the tax burden resulting from heavy armnments have been reduceds
 That such reduction Is pos- sibie only if troublesome inter- national problems are solved by common consent,
 That among these problems the Pacific and far eastern ques- tions occupy . position of 'sun- questioned importancc.v
 That although there Is no in- tention to dictate the scope of the conference, the discussion should touch upon matters which hnye been of international con- cern as well as those now ad- mtttcdly controversial; and
 That the question of naval arr mamcnts might well be consid- cred first though there should he no barrier to full considerations or nrmaments of every sort.
 China Asked to Join
 ACoincidentally with the dispatch of the Invitations to the four great powers. China was asked to send a delegation to take part in these dis cussions of the conference which re- late to the Pacific and the far east All of the five nations thus invited have indicated informally that they would accept and formal responses are expected to reach Washington within few days, opening the way for a more detailed preliminary ne gotiation on the scope of the con ference.
 In every respect, the note of invi- tation follows the principles 2revi' ously defined by this government ir it's formal conversations with thu

Judgment, to drive out of the hands of the small bondholders of the coun- try these gilt edge securities so that they could be purchased by the big financiers of the country
 The federal reserve boards action in increasing the discount rate of in terest made it impossible for thous- ands of people to obtain the money to complete the payments on these bonds Holding the government bond that paid per cent or 4M per cent. the bondholder was con fronted with the fact that he had to pay per cent discount rate in order to obtain money to pay on bonds bearing 4 and 45s per cent.
 Not only that, MT. President. but the bonds had greatly appreciated in value under the deflation campaign of the federal reserve board until they were selling in the market for sS5 on the S100 So when the poor bondholder appeared at the bank he was told that he had to pay per cent interest in order to get money to pay on bond that was $1o less on the hundred than when 1t was purchased. Thousands upon thous-
 
 who bought bonds to enable the United States to win the war have had their bonds literally driven out of their hands into the hands of Wall street purchasers by deflation cam paign conducted by the federal re- serve board.
 "The party of the senator from Utah (Afr. SmooD is holding that federal reserve board in authority today after it has lost the confidence of honest business men in the south and west. That board sits there. a part of the republican administra. tion, and when the republican party holds it in power 1t indorse its acts, By retaining that board in power you place the stamp of your approval upon it's conduct And you do so in the face of the fact that that boards s deadly deflation policy robbed the south and west of billions and bill lions of dollars.

 ATTACK ON BOARD.
Claims Reserve Board Action Caused Depreciation In
 Liberty Bonds
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The geHerald.


 Washington, September S0.-tspe- ciaI. .)--I4ike an echo from long gone days came the voice of Senator lief lin assailing the federal reserve board of which W. P. G. Harding, a fellow Alabamian, is governor.
 It was during the debate on the tax bill Senator Shoot of Utah sponsored an amendment to which objection was made. After it had gone oyer," Senator Hefiin obtained the floor. He held the board respon- sible for the deterioration in the value of the bonds purchased by the people ia an effort to win the war against Germany
 The Alabama senator said;
 "Mr. President. there is good deal in the suggestion of the Senator from Utah (Mr Smoot) that those who bought Liberty bonds had to pay more interest to the banks than the interest rate borne by the bonds themselves. That was caused by the destructive deflation policy of the federal reserve board in increasing the discount rate from 3 F per cent to :. It was a severe blow to those who had purchased bonds and who had to borrow money for that pur- pose. It was 8 campaign, in my
