FOR DISARMAMENT
Ministers of Every Part of
U. S. Signers of Petition
Presented to President.

A petition signed by 20,503 clergy
men, representing every part of the
United States and practically every
denomination. urging the President to
call conference of leading nations
to consider disarmament at the earliest
Harding at the White House yester-
day afternoon by q delegation rep
resenting the Church Peace Union.
1t was explained to the President
by the delegation that the petition
was submitted as an expression Of an
leaders OF all forms Of religious or
CARNATIONS for some positive step
which Will relieve the world from the
"intolerable burden of taxation for
military purposes and give enlarged
assurance Of permanent peace"
The President was quoted by men,
bers OF the committee As saying that
he hoped eventually to carry out their
request. although the process would
not be carried forward as rapidly as
many people would like 20 see it, He
was also quoted as saying that the
United States must have general
agreement regarding armaments be-
fore she could afford to permit her
own to be reduced to too low q point.
The petition presented by the COM
mittee attempted no argument for
disarmament.
Supplementlng the request, the COM
mittee left with the President a letter
which said the petition was submitted
"in full recognition Of the strong and
clear utterances which you have
made concerning the problems of
Americas participation in world af-
fairs. including the limitation of
ornaments" and that it was brought
to your attention in full conscious
ness that there are doubtless many
very vexing elements involved in
calling such conference with
which the petitioners as we'll as the
general public are not familiar"
The committee was headed by Rev.
Nehemiah Boynton of New York, and
others in the delegation were Linley
V. Gordon. secretary of the Church
Peace Union committee on reduction
Of ornaments; Bishop William r.
Mcdowell OF the Methodist Episcopal
