PRESIDENT CALLS DISARMAMENT con-
FERENCE,

The President is deeply gratiiicd
nj the cordial response TO his SuS-
scstion that there should be 4 con-
ference on the subject of limitation
or ornaments. i'll connection with
which Pacific and Far Eastern
questions should also be discussed.
Productive labor is staggering
under an economic burden too
heavy TO be borne unless the present
vast public expenditures are great
ly reduced. 1t is idle to look for
stability, or the assurance of social
justice, or the security Of peace,
while wastcful and unproductive
OUTLAWS deprive effort OF its reward
and defeat the reasonable cNpccta--
lion Of progress.
The enormous disbursements in
the rivalricS of ornaments mani
testify constitute the greater part Of
the circumference upon enterprise
and natioal prosperity; and avoid
able or cNtravagant expense of this
nature is not only without economic
justification but is 4 constant mem
ace TO the peace of the world raih-
cr than an assurance OF its prcScrv-
ton. Yet there would seem TO be
no ground TO expect the hating OF
these increasing OUTLAWS unless the
powers most largely concerned find
a satisfactory basis for an agree
ment to effect their limitation.
II may also be found advisable
TO formulate proposals by which III
The interest Of humanity the use Of
new agencies Of w"rcfarc may be
suitably controlled.
Ii is the earnest wish Of this GOV
crnmcnt That through Hn inter
change of views with the facilities
by Il CoGcrcncc. it may be
possible to find Il solution Of Pacific
and Far Eastern problems, Of I'M
questioned importance ut this time.
that is. such common understand
'ngs with respect to matters which
have been and are of international
concern as may serve to promote
rduring Friendship among our pco-
pie. 1t is not the purpose of this
Government TO attempt TO define the
scope OF the discussion in relation
TO the Pacific and Far East. but
rather to leave this TO be the. sub
lect Of suggestions to be exchanged
before the meeting Of the confer
cnce, in the expectation that the
spirit Of friendship and a cordial
of the importance OF
the elimination Of sources of con-
trovcrsy will govern the final de
ciSion.
Accordingly. in pursuance of The
which has been made, and
III the light Of the gracious indica-
ton OF its acceptance, the Prcsi-
dent invites the Government Of
Great Britain one name is changed
in other inUitationS) 10 be present
in a conference on the subject or
of armament, in connec-
lion with which Pacific and Far
Eastern questions will also be dis
cusscd, to be held in Washington
on The nth day of November, 1921.

.BRlIIsR-IRlSH PEACE NEGOTIATIONS

Three documents were made pub
lie in London OH the ii, by Premier
Lloyd George setting forth the
status OF the Irish negotiations. The
first document sets forth the offer
of Premier Lloyd George proposing
Il dominion status for Erin. with
complete autonomy in finance, tax
alton, courts. police, postal service
and transportation, along with sin
conditions relative TO defense Of The
empire which form part of the Of
fer.
The second document is the re-
ply Of cannon De Valera to this
proposal, arguing for The indcpcnd-
cncc Of Ireland, the right to .sccedc,
and an offer TO submit South Ire
lands differences with Ulster. the
North province OF Ireland TO arDi-
tration of an outside power.
The third paper is Mr.. Lloyd
Georges reply. He asserts Britain
will never acknowledge lrcIand'S
right to scccdc, refuses to prcmit
questions between Britain and Ire
land to be submitted to foreign an
bltratiOn, and expresses the hope
that Ireland will accept his terms.
The best that could be offered.
Ireland. ii appears to us. will be
standing in her own light if she re-
fuses Lloyd-Gcorgc's terms. Rcfus-
al means an indefinite continuation
OF the trouble. England needs ire
u al,
case of war with foreign power
and ireland needs England for
would she not be utterly helpless in
q war with the United States, Eng
Land, France or Germany without
The protection of Britains navy?
Canada. Australia, and South Africa
are satisfied rs British dependencies
with local self-govcrnmcnt giving
them absolute freedom in the con-
trol and management of their home
affairs and having the power Of the
British Empire behind them to pro-
tcct them from foreign aggression.
The trouble with the Irish is main
~ internal Or among themselves.
South Ireland is Catholic. Ulster or
North ireland is Protestant and adj
mittcdly the most prosperous part
OIL the island. We 60 not presume
10 suggest remedy for these rclig-
lou> differences further than 10 say
that they should not be allowed 10
interfere With The civil or religious
liberties Of the individual In mai
terh o! religious faith the individual
should Dc free as in America. the
state having the right to interfere.
Jefferson. perhaps the wisest of
American statesmen. considered the
statute for religious freedom in Vir-
Bjnia one of the greatest Of his
many great achievements, and di-
rcctcd tina! his authorship of thai
great statute, now Il feature of the
fundamental law Of all the States of
the American Union, should be in
scribd on his tombstone as one OF
the three greatest achievements of
his public life and on which he
rested his fame and his claim to
the lasting gratitude Of his country
men.

The Senator from Michigan on the
charge Of the improper use of

abandond all prctcnse of being

gone before. it will excite no as

was Entrusted with the duty of con-

Securities Go.
Subscription Books
Will Close Next Week

Directors of Maui Securities Com
pany, Ltd, held their regular meeting
at the Office of the Bank of .iaui, Ltd,
in Waikiki on Saturday last, and the
matter of the company's initial invest
ments was fully discussed. The di-
rectors also passed a motion that the
subscription lists be closed on March
%, as originally advertised.
The prospects of the company look
exceedingly bright, the meeting dis
closed, and no items of expense will be
paid unless passed upon by the board.
At no time in the history of invest
ment has it been possible to purchase
good securities at prices to yield so
high a return, consistent with safety,
as at present, and no doubt the new
company will take advantage of the
fact.
The directors also believe in divers
ity of investment so hat any depres-
sion in a particular industry will not
affect their entire list. The new com
pany is expected to fill a much felt
want on Maui, and tbs operations will
be watched with considerable interest.
