Harding Opposes
u. S. Disarmament
While Others Arm
President Assures Quakers
of Sympathy in Their Plea
to Reduce Forces; Does
Not Indicate the Plans
From The Tsibane's washinoton Bureau

From. The Tvibune's Washington bureau
WASHINGTON, March 23.--Presi-
dent Harding to-day. without commit
ting himself to program, gave sym
pathetic hearing to delegation from
the Society of Friends in Philadelphia
which called on him to urge that this
country take the lead. in disarmament.
The President. according to members
of the delegation, did not indicate that
he had any plans in mind for a confer
ence on disarmament. He did make it
plain, they said, that while he looked
with favor on steps in the direction of
disarmament, he did not want the
United States to disarm while other
nations continued to arm.
An address,; presented to the Presi-
dent and signed by George M. Warner,
clerk, and w. b. Harvey, secretary.
follows, in part:
"To President Warren G. Harding:
The Society of Friends in Philadelphia
sends cordial greeting. We are thank
full for any steps the, Administration
may take toward disarmament. The
time is ripe for the United States to
take the lead in this direction, and we
hold that Inc continuance of military
preparations is nothing less than 8
challenge to our neighbors everywhere
and helps to create the very danger
which it seeks to guard against The
history of Europe. during the last fifty
years confirms us ip. this belief. It
will take courage to lead thu way, but
it Will be the venture of faith to
which cur nation msist rise if we are
to be secure against the military spirit
in oIr own Borders and to help restore
and heal the sick and wounded peoples
Of the world.
Owe deplore the tendency in certain
quarters to build up material for war,
military equipment, battleships, sub
marines, factories for making poison
GUS gases, etc, all of which foster and
encourage the very spirit which has
made Prussian militarism a byword
and a shaking of the head among the
nations.
owe all want peace, but for that we
need to get rid Of the war mind-of
! the mind which relies on force rather
than on good will, on the mailed fist
rather than the shield of q Christian
faith.
therefore we ask our President and
his Cabinet to lead us all toward the
goal of these IDEALS"
In the delegation, in addition to Mr..
Harvey and Mr.. Warner, were Walter
T, Moore, DR.. Edward G. Rhoads and

BERLIN. March 23.-The government

German trade through the establish
ment of the Allies new customs froh-
tier, Germany heretofore has been con-
trolling it's foreign trade with the pur-
pose Of preventing the import of ar
ticles not really needed and, therefore,
unnecessarily tending to dcpress the
mark. 1t also has prevented the ex-
port of goods required for home con-
sumption, but which have been at
tracted to foreign marketa by higher
prices.
The German position is that the es-
tablishment Of the Entente's customs
frontier would render this control inn
possible, hence the government has
worked out plan to establish COR
don OF control stations within German
territory, one post confronting every
customs office 0f the Entente.
All incoming and outgoing merchan-
disc will be subjected to examination
there, thus keeping control at that
frontier on the same basis US at sea-
ports. The governments measure was

8. Demands
Germany Send
Bergdoll Back
Extradition of SIacker and
Release Of Two American
Soldiers Who Attempted
TO Kidnap Him Called For
Harding Is Determined
Neuf and thinner Given Is
and 6 Months Terms in
Baden, but Expect Pardon

From The Tribune,s Washinoton BMrsew
WASHINGTON, March 90. sur
render of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll,
the wealthy draft deserter, and the re-
lease from prison of privates Neuf
and thinner, of the American army,
who sought I'd capture the Philadel-
phia Stacker, have been demanded of
the German government by the United
States, it became known to-day.
The extradition Of Bergdoll, it de-
.veloped, has been the subject of cx-
tensive correspondence between the
American government and Major Gem
eral H. 7. Allen, commander of the
American forces on the Rhine, and
American Commissioner Ellis Dresel
in Berlin, terminating to-day in the
flat demand on the Berlin government
that Bergdoll be cxtradited and judi
cial clemency be extended 70 the two
soldiers who sought to apprehcnd him.
Weeks and Hughes Confer
Secretary of War Weeks and Secre-
tary of State Hughes conferred to-day
on the case Of Bergdoll and the two
american soldiers, and definite an
nouncemcnt of the Administration &C
tion in the incident probably will be
authorized soon.
Secretary Weeks has had before him
for several days a complete report
from General Allen on the Bergdoll
case. He indicated to-day that he
might have something of interest to
disclose tomorrow General Allen is
understood to have been very active
in asccrtaining fer the government
complete details of rergdoll's presence
in Germany, and he is known to have
endeavcred N an unofficial way to
bring about a release Of the two mem
bers Of his army who we're involved
at Baden in the attempt to apprehend
Bergdoll.
American Commissioners NDresel at
Berlin also has been acting under ex-
plicit instructions from this govern
ment to give every protection possible
to the interests Of Neuf and thinner.
He is understood to have been assured
by the German government that efforts
would be made to prevent any undue
severity in the punishme that might
be authorized by the civil authorities
at Baden, before whom the two SOL
diers were tried.
Pardon Expected
Confidence was expressed to-day in
high quarter that thinner and Neuf
would be pardoned and permitted to
return to the American army of occu-
patton, but doubt still exists that Berg
dolls extradition will be authorized,
The Philadelphia Stacker has applied
for German citizenship to escape ex-
tradition to the United States, and
this may, prove bar to favorable ac-
tion by the German government ON the
American demand for his. return to
this country. g.
The Bergdoll case, it became known
to-day. was taken up by Secretary of
War Weeks and Secretary Of State
Hughes Immediately after their as
sumption Of Cabinet duties. 1t is
known that President Harding desires
to comply as far as possible with the
repeated requests of the American
Legion that Bergdoll be punished prop
erly and that justice be shown to the
American soldiers who sought to bring
about his return to American territory.

Premier in Address at CoaIi-

Copyright. 1921. New York Tribune Inc.


LONDON, March 23.In 9 speech to-
day at luncheon Of Coslition mem
hers of Parliament Premier Lloyd
George definitely aligned himself
against labor in politics and took .
stand which means that he intends
either to form new party or Join the
Conservatives. This is the second
speech within week in which the Pre-
mier has attacked the Labor party.
Lloyd George gave clear indication
that he will fight in the mex. general
election. which is expected to be held
this fall, on an anti-Labor platform.
The Premier frequently was interrupt
cd by applause. The fact gthat he did
not attack the Asquith Liberals was
considered significant as indicating a
change in his political plans. Appar-
emily he has abandoned the hope of
Wrestling the Libesal party machinery
from Asquith.
Asks Union Against Socialism
The Premier referred early in his
speech to the centnry-old feud between
England and France which ended in the
Entente. The old feud between the two
chief political rarties of England
should be ended by their union against
Socialism, Lloyd George declared.
LONDON, March % (By The Asso-
ciated Press) Lloyd George made a
bitter attack on Socialists to-day in
his address to what ks tailed "the new
members Of the coalittsn group"
"The military dangers which united
the parties have disappeared" said Mr..
Lloyd George, "but greater, more in
sidious. more permanent dangers still
rise to power OF new party with new
purposes of the most subyersive char
acter."
Seeks to Destroy Society
1T calls itself labor 1t is really
Socialist. 1t is tearing the parties to
pieces on its wsy to. tearing society to
pieces. Those who are inclined to
agree with Mr.. Asquith and Lord Benz
timex that the Labor party is bogey
should read the Socialist and Labor
papers for a week
Socialism is fighting to destroy
everything that the great prophets and
leaders of both parties-Unionist and
LiberaEhave labored for generations
to upbuild. Parliamentary Institutions
are rs much menaeed as private inter
ests, and the rule of class organiza-
tion is to be substituted for them.
Those still inclined to regard the
Labor party as bogey. should look at
the by-elections of 1920 and 1921. The
addition of per cent would put the
Socialists in the majority, and there
is margin of 15 to 20 per cent who
do not vote.
Suppose that by the working up Of
grievances the coalition was defeated
and the Socialists won majority.
They would not seek to remove these
grievances, but would endeavor to root
out the whole system of society,""
The Prime Minister asked those who
realized the danger to close their
ranks. They must take all possible
steps, he said, to instruct the electors.
who must at no distant date decide
the issue.
