Kepres ntati'e MondeII Says Nations Will Call America Militaristic-'Duty to Lead the Way"

Washington, Feb. 7.-An interna- tlonal agreement for limitation of ar maments IS absolutely essential to the avoidance of bankruptcy by some of the more important nations of the world, Representative Mondell of Wyoming, Republican House leader, declared today before the House naval committee.
 If an agreement is not reached in the near future, MT. Mondell said. the fault will be that of America. as in former days the fault was that of Germany.
 "The fault will be ours," he assert ed, because as we are the only great nation which could maintain enor- nous establishments on land and sea without bankruptcy, without being condemned to bear indefinitely and add to today's frightful load of na- tlonal debt, it is our duty to lead the way toward relief from the present and future burdens of warlike expen- ditures which, irksome and oppressive to us, would be unbearable to other nations.
 "More than that, it is our duty to lead the way, because strangely enough, we are the only great nation that since the world war has officially taken position favorable to the in- crease rather than the decrease of armaments and warlike expenditures and the one nation in which, I fear, there is a really dangerous sentiment in favor of increases rather than de- crease of military establishments; a sentiment limited, it is true, to the number of people openly avowing it, but a sentiment, nevertheless, deeply planted, shrewdly calculating and very persistent.

WOMEN LOBBYISTS
 WORK FOR BILLS
Antis and Pros Mixing in Wash ingtOn POlitics-Have ''Per- feet Organization" of Women Voters.

Washington, Feb 5.-With the most extensive and completely organ ized lobby that has yet appeared at the nations capital to influence legis- lation, the fighting woman politi- clan" has become a reality.
 To the majority of the public the mention of woman suffrage brings a mental picture of pickets, banners, placards and parades, and those who still believe that it is a mere fad of society danes are not in the small minority. Interviews with active members of various women's organ izations with headquarters at Wash ington and study of the fights be- ing waged both for and against meas ures pending in the national congress prove very material answer to the mental question, Now that you've got it, what are you going to do with it?" universally asked in reference to woman's place III our polltlcaI aHalrS, which has become permanently estab- lished with the present change of ad- ministrations.
 These interviews have revealed a more perfect organization among the women for purely lobbying purposes than any "insidious iobby" ever m- vestigated by congress. The National League of Women Voters very boldly announced at the beginning of the present session of congress that 1t would have a "woman voters lobby at Washington flor the furtherance of the legislative programme adopted bv the national league and indorsed bv 10 of the leading women's organl- cations of the country" Announce ment was also made of the names of a number of prominent women active in the work of political organizations in the various states who would com pose this lobby

 mho voted against the bill were uossrs Chalmers, Ebel, Hill, Me Hauey. McCulloch, Norfeet and Wood
 The vote came after several hours of oratory. The proponents of the hll were led by MT.

He argued in favor of a |return to the principles of true Dem- |ocratc government and said that the city and town councils and the courts |eould more easily and more equitably Administer the law with reference to |he regulation of corporations. He Twas warmly seconded by MT. Gregory |of Prairie, Mir. Belote of Hot Spring land others who argued that the abo Hilton of the Commission is demanded |by the Democratic state platform. Some question arose as to the atti- |tude of Governor McRae towadr the abolition bill, it being stated that he would probably favor the Emory Walls bill, originating in the Senate, (Which provides for radical modifica- |tions of the law creating the Com mission. In answer to this, Governor [fcRae's message was quoted to the effect.
 "The Corporation Commission should be promptly and expeditiously abOlished. If l am elected governor I vll make it one of my first duties to urge its repeal"
