To INSIST ON OPEN
ARMAMENT MEET
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.
ny THEODORE TIELER

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 81.
An effort to have the senate declare
it's belief that the disarmament con-
ference should be open to the public
will be made by Senator Pat Harri-
son, of Mississippi, who will demand
record vote in the upper body prior
to passage of the pending urgent
deficiency bill.
The Harrison amendment to this
bill would instruct the American
delegation at the disarmament con-
ference to use it's influence and best
endeavors" to have the doors Of the
conference toom thrown open. If
adopted, the Harrison amendment
will be an expression Of the views
Of the senate rather than a legisla-
tive enactment.
Since the pending deficiency bill
carries an appropriation of 100000
for the expenses of the disarmament
conference, Senator Harrison regards
his publicity amendment as germane
to the bill and will insist that a
roll call be had to line up the ad
mintstratiop senators on "open
covenants <9enly arrived at"
Indications are that the Harrison
amendment will meet defeat by a
vote along party lines. The Missis-
sippi senator may be Joined by a few
Republicans of the so-called progress
s1ve group, but it is not expected
that the. amendment will be adopted.
Senator Harrison has been con-
Quoting losing fight in the senate
to amend the rules so that treaties
and nominations shall be considered
in open executive session rather
than behind closed doors. He has
never been able to muster more than
dozen or so votes, the elder states
men among the Democrats joining
with senior Republicans and voting
against all such proposals.
However, Senator Harrison pre-
sents a different question in his
proposed amendment to the .efi-
cheney bill. He insists there can be
complete public confidence in the
disarmament conference only when
the public knows what is occurring.
1t is expected that Republican
senator's in voting against the Har-
rison amendment will take the post
ton that the disarmament confer
ence is an international affair and
that President Harding and Secre-
tary Hughes are directly charged
with responsibility for America S
conduct and part in the disarmament
negotiations and the senate would
presume upon their prerogatives by
adopting the Harrison amendment.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Aug. 21.-Dr

British Condern Offers
Vienna Cheap Clothing

VIENNA, Aug. 2O.-The offer of
a British concern to sell in Vienna
100000 ready-made suits of mems
clothes at Que pound 10 shillings
each, has been occupying more space
IN the newspapers than the disturbed
political situation.
Master tailors and ready-nade
clothing merchants are fighting it
and thus far successfully as the
ministry of trade has refused the
import license
The entire Vienna press, backed by
the countless civil servants and
workmen's cooperative societies, is
demanding the deal be permitted,
pointing out that native tailors
charge at least 10000 crowns for ?
suit of equal quality, while the Brit
ish offer equals about 1900 crowns.
