Radio Device to Warn
Army Flyers of Storms
Network of Waves All Over
Country Will Prevent
Air Disasters

From Ths Trsbunc's Washington Bureou
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.--A new
wireless system, designed to give in
formation to aviators of weather con-
ditions along their routes, has been
approved by the Army Air Service and
will soon be extended throughout the
service. Construction Of the radio
outfits has begun at Mitchell Field,
Long Island; Langley Field, Va; Will
bur Wright Field, at Fairfield, Ohio,
and at Moundsville. w. Va.
Plans for installation of the new
safety device, which will function as
a network Of electrical waves covering
the country, provide for the dissemina-
tion Of weather reports, storm warn
ings and other information affecting
aerial navigation. The Army Air Ser
vice contemplates extending the system
TO every field and air station in the
country. AT present actual construc-
tion has not been attempted west Of
Ohio.
Army aviation officials said to-day
they hoped, through operation of the
net, to prevent in the future such dis
asters as that which occurred last May
near Morgantown, Md, and cost the
lives of seven persons by an airplane
flying into violent storm, Of which
it's occupants had no knowledge. De-
velopment of the net, they say, was
largely due to lessons learned from
that disaster, the worst recorded in
the history Of military aviation.

u. S. Trying to Dominate
Europe, Says Madrid Paper

MADRID, Nov. Discussing edi-
torially the Washington armament con-
ference, Gel Debate" to-day asks why
Spain was excluded from the confer
cnce, as it's results will be Of the ut
most Importance to this country. 1t
argues the United States has become
the financial center of the world and
is now trying to obtain political pre-
dominance "and humiliate Europe
The conference, the newspaper de-
clares, has given death blow to the
League of Nations and by an ingenious
polio an overwhelming influence in
the Pacific has been procured which is
likely to extend to other seas, includ-
ing the Mediterranean. 1t concludes
that Spain should therefore secure her
position on the Moroccan coast and
reach an agreement with France for
defense, because a limitation Of arma-
ments which might mean an equi-
librium for the United States, England
and Japan might also lead to desire
to dominate Europe.

Hanihara, as Delegate,
TypiJfes Liberal Policy
Foreign Minister Represents
Element That Holds Cooper.
alton With America VifnL

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a (By The
Associated Press)-The appointment Of
Masanao Hanihara, Japan Vice Foreign
Minister, as one of the senior delegates
to the Washington conference is inter
preted among Japanese as meaning that
Japan, while insistently adhering to
what she believes to be her rights, will
develop the doctrine that her success
and prosperity as a world power are
largely contingent upon her continued
cooperation with the United States in
all spheres of international activity.
"Hani" is the name many in Wash
ington would still call him, as do his
legion Of friends, Japanese and foreign,
in the social halls of the Toxic Club
at the Japanese capital. Washingtoni-
ans remember we'll his ten years
service here as Secretary Of the Japa-
nese Embassy, when he was one Of the
most popular members of the diplo-
matte corps.
A comparatively young man, Hani-
hara has attained his present position
solely on his merits.
AS result of tho teaching OF Mr..
Hanihara and others, there has grown
up new school in Japan, dedicated to
the idea that world problems must not
be regarded eternally from the stand
point of Japan alone, but an attompt
must also be made to understand tho
viewpoint Of "the other fellow"

Board of Powers
To Guard China's
Future Suggested
Council Similar to Ambas-
sadors' i'm Paris to Sit in
Washington or Peking, Is
One Plan Advanced

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a (By The AS
sociated Press). Looking forward to
a unanimous agreement among the
eight powers respecting the unre-
stricted future of China, there is some
speculation among members of the
delegations as to how the terms of the
arrangement may best be realized.
The final convention or understand
ing, as the case may be, Is expected
to contain some stipulations in detail
respecting tariff questions, the pooling
of the operation of railway concessions
and other subjects. For this reason
considerable informal inquiry has been
made as to what sort Of supervision
could be set up to carry out the agree
ments and harmonic varying interpre-
tations.
In this connection the question fre-
quently is asked: Is all the after-work
of the conference to be done by notes
and kilograms among the nine partici-
pating governments, including China,
or is new international organ to be
created to observe, interpret and ex-
ecute the agreement subject to ap-
proval by the respective member gov
ernments?
The favorite suggestion, especially
among minor members Of the French
delegation, is that an ambassadorial
council might be designated, made up
Of the ambassadors and ministers OF
the various governments in Washing
ton, to deal with Chinese matters from
here in the same way that the Ambassa-
dors' Council of Paris disposes of ques-
tions arising out Of the Treaty of Ver-
sailles, not Of sufficient Importance to
bring before supreme council Of the
heads Of the Allied governments.
The council in Paris is a semi-per-
manent body which usually meets once
or twice week, sometimes more often.
The decisions Of the council must be in
accord with the policies Of the various
foreign Offices.
Another suggestion, expressed quite
informally in one British quarter, was
the possibility of the conference result
ing in a sort Of regional association
of nations. existing for the specific pur-
pose OF dealing with Pacific and Far
Eastern questions. Should this be de-
termined upon it is assumed chat the
new association of powers would be
obliged to create board or commits
sion, which could deal with doubtful
questions as they arose in somewhat

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.---It is cer-
tainly strange and symbolic that on
this Thanksgiving Thursday a confer
ence of nine powers as diverse from
one another as Portugal and Japan
should pause in it's work, while Ameri-
canss observed the day. All the COM
mittees and subcommittee with their
respective secretaries and their inter
prefers and their journalists, were dis
banded for the day. And there was no
news, save this universal festivity, with
the rain falling and the theaters full.
1t was the New World impressng its
calendar and its customs on the Old.
IL was the internationalism of the
United States broadening into an in
ternationalism for all mankind. 1t was
Holland eating ice cream with China,
1t was India slipping grape juice with
Italy.
In Paris or Rome or London such a
suspension of craftsmanship would
have been unthinkable. The Old World
is not so conscious of it's blessing that
IT must set apart day to give thanks
for them. But if we can imagine such
holiday there would have been races
at EPSON and a gala performance in
the evening at the opera. The United
States is the richest country in the
world, but in her capital there is not
as yet an opera house, Instead of the
diamond horseshoe which glitters at
Covent Garden, or once glittered at st.
petersburg; instead of the glorious
marble Of the Paris opera house and
the resplendent traditions of Vienna.
Berlin, Brussels, you can go to Keith's
and Loew's, hobnob there with Presi
dents, past, present and future. or to
the Poll and listen to Sir Harry Lauder
If it be not "Tickle Me" on tour. In
Washington you have the Puritan
fatherhood expressed in such limita-
tions.
Want an End to Slaughter
Every year or two the politicians
come IN and go out, and they have not
time, amid the ebb and flow of party
fortunes, to study the Nibelungen ring
and the Russian ballet. SO Washington
accepts the art that others send her

Rialto, where vast multitudes wait
their turn in the promenade, where
birds i'll their cages sing to while away

Of millions, is set out briefly, bluntly,

ence-peace or war. And there is not

French Financial Policy
Is Upheld by Deputies
Government Program Given
Support of Chamber by
Vote of 347 to l8O

PARIS, Nov. "a (By The Associated
Press).-The Chamber of Deputies this
evening, by vote of SAT to 1S0, gave
its support to the government on its
financial program.
Discussion Of the financial situation
began November s, and closure was
voted tonight by show Of hand, pre-
venting further speeches in explana-
ton Of a dozen motions before the
house.
The precise motion selected by the
government as expressive of its views
and which obtained the vote of conf
dence, requested the government to ex-
ercise vigilance in the strict execution
of Germany's engagements, to take
every necessary measure abroad for
the preservation Of the guarantees of
Frances claims and not to demand new
taxation before maximum results were
obtained from the existing taxes.

Force VS.. Reason Test Before
Farley, Says British Writer
Declares Americans Have Taken Position for End
to Slaughter, and if Old World Recedes 1t
Is Because She Fails lin the Faith

one instant Of doubt In the mind of
the public, sitting there shrouded In
darkness, which OF these, peace or war,
the public wants. Everything that tells
for Hughes's disarmament is applaudcd.
The rest is nothing and nowhere.
Americans have taken up their posi-
tion. They want an end of slaughter.
They would rather have slow and pa
tient solution in China than n surgical
operation. All their traditional friend
ships, admirations and enmities are be-
ing rearranged, according to the su-
preme test; namely, this choice between
force and reason, between skcpticism
and faith, between hatred and comrade-
ship. If France recedes from the fore
ground it is because she fails in this
faith If England energies from the
background it is because she accepts
this faith. If Japan wins her way into
the Western family it is because she
also has weighed the faith and found
it possible. Mankind has quarreled
and murdered and plundered and plot
ted long enough. The time has come
when mankind must acknowledge
common kindred.
Faith Illusion for France
Japan has realized this. She takes
her seat at the table and remains in
the conference, actively assisting.
Japan is realist and very clever. She
finds in faith fact. M. BRAND has set
forth on this Thanksgiving Day for
New York and Paris. He leaves Wash
ington because to him the faith is still
not fact, but an illusion. 1t is beauti-
full, but not practical He will have
no dream save the nightmare of war.
So be it, but from Italy comes the
note of aspiration. Disarm on land,
she pleads, or we perish. She tells of
the chaos in the east of Europe, of
Poland and Rumania and Czccho-
Slovakia and Jugo-Slavia, with their
forces ready to fly at each others
throats, and she insists that disarma-
ment on land be kept on the agenda.
Her attitude is precisely that of Sec
retary Hughes and of Mr.. Balfour.
And land disarmament remains there
fore a possibility. 1t may be only a
dim and distant possibility, but it is
not ruled out. 1t means SO much
poison gases, aeroplanes, flying tor
pedoes-new forms of deviltry like dis
ease germs and the inflicton of plague
through water supply. All these are
certain unless we dsarm OH land as
we'll as on sea.
1t is not a question Of one nation
against another nation. 1t is a ques-
tion OF faith in good conquering faith
in evil. 1t is the eternal conflict be-
tween life and death, optimism and
pesslmlsm, confidence and cynicism. Is
man descended from apes or from
angels? "Gentlemen," said Disraeli,
u am on the side of the angels"--
which being translated means, as Lord
Grey put it, that one would rather
have possible Utopia for the human
race than certain destruction.

In making this statement the Lord
Chancellor was simply reiterating what
has already been said by Lloyd George,
Winston Churchill, former Premier
Asquith, viscount Grey, Lord Robert
Cecil and several leaders of the Labor
party. The question Of debt cancella-
tion is growing larger daily and there
is every expectation here that it will
soon be subject at the conference.
With China looming larger in the
Washington discussions, there viii
come further opportunity for Britain
to show her desire to work in harmony
with the United States. The last word
about the AngloJapanese treaty has
not yet been spoken, and although the
majority here fail TO appreciate why
Americans are SO antagonistic toward
it, they are not going to let 1t prove an
obstruction to the course Of reaching a.
settlement on the Far East.
Japanese Alliance Assailed
An Indication Of the drift OF opinion
regarding the Japanese alliance was
given this afternoon, when the Ma
tional Liberal Federation, representing
the Asquithian Liberals, met at New
castle. a resolution was placed before
the meeting congratulatlng the govern
ment on sending delegates to Wash

naval proposals, and demanding that

posals for the progressive disarma-

An amendment was proposed by the

From TIE Tribune Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24-Commend-

the enforcement of prohibition, Pro-
iibition Commissioner Il. A. Haynes
made it plain today that prohibition
officers will continue to search prop

they are suspicious the law is being
violated. He said, however, that no
attempt would be made to search pri-
vate dwellings without search war
rants.
Virtually, the Prohibition Commits
sioner holds that the provisions in the
new law which we're inserted in con-
ference as substitute for the Stanley

search all property except dwellings,
with impunity and that it will be
practically impossible to punish them
and to prove they acted maliciously
