PART OF THE BIG BEAUTY CHORUS WITH "MARCIE"
NEW WILSON THEATRE, WEDNESDAY DEC. 21.t

Still the Treasury has
had to take into account that many
investors. disappointed by their ex-
perience with Liberty Bonds might
be cold toward government invest
ments unless given an absolute guar
antee of the par value of a security
The new certificates cannot fall in
value. They are redeemed whenever
an investor needs money and he sus-
tains no loss at all-in fact he COL
continuous sale moreover of these
certificates. The date of purchase
doesn't affect the value as was the
case with war savings stamps.
The new process doesn't increase
the public debt but rather redistri-
butes it. The intention is to create
an army OF new investors, touching
class which might not otherwise be
disposed to save. The number of plans
to be used in retiring the war debt
as a whole will continue to increase
classes of investors may be reached
But in general the Government has
embarked on a policy that looks to-
ward the gradual retirement of the
war debt by borrowing from the pub
lie at stated intervals and onfsetting
these borrowings by gradual accum-
ulations of surplus from taxes and
imports. In other words, the govern
ment must go on the assumption
that Europe cannot pay America ten
billions of war debt and that if any
thing is paid in the present gener-
alton, it will to that extent ease the
burden and curtail the necessity for
borrowing. The people of America
will therefore finance their govern
ment by lending it money from time
to time until collections from regular
sources of revenue can be piled up.

short periods like six months or
three years. The development of gov
ernment policy in this direction is to
be gradual but for the moment the
plan is. to concentrate on the small
investor and teach him the value of
the new thrift idea.
The Government will thus take
care of about $6OO,OOO,00O worth of
1918 treasury certificates which ma
ture about a year hence and to that
extent the proceeds of the new secur-
ity will be used in refunding. Five
months later, three and a half bill
lions of Victory Loan Bonds will ma
ture but that's too big an issue to re-
tire through small thrift certificates.
Some new Treasury Certificates of
larger denomination will have to be
issued and these in turn may be re-
tired through the smaller certificates.
In other words, the refunding process
is in an experimental state and the
Treasury will know more about the
best method of retiring America IS
debts after the new issue Of o.1rtifi-

FOR CHINA IS PROBABLE
Delegates, Expecting Agree
naenf, Look for Control Plan.

WASHINGTON, Nov "a (Associated

nous agreement among the eight Powers
respecting the unrestricted future of
China, there is some speculation among
members Of the delegations az the arma-
ment conference as to how the terms
of the ARRANGEMENT may best be real
ICED. Considerable informal inquiry has
been made as to what sort of super
vision could be set up to carry out the
agreements and harmonic varying in
terprctations.
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 Minister'S Of
the various governments in Washington
to deal with Chinese matters from here
In the same way that the Ambassadors
Council in Paris disposes OF questions
arising out Of the Treaty of Versailles.
not of sufficient Importance to bring be-
for supreme council of the heads
Of the allied governments.
Another suggestion expressed infor-
mally in one British quarter was the
possibility of the conference resulting
In sort OF a regional association OF
nations. existing for the specific pur-
pose of dealing with Pacific and Far
Eastern questions. Should this be de-
termined upon 1t is assumed that the
new association Of Powers would be
obliged to create board or commits
sion that could deal with doubtful ques-
tions as they arose In somewhat the
same manner as the Ambassadors
Council in Paris. Probably a permanent
International staff would have to be en-
gagged, the seat OF which would logically
be either Washington or Pehin.

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a ASSOCIATED

other official quarters. at least part
Of the American delegation to the arms
conference believes that any resulting
agreement on naval armament should
be put into the form of a treaty.
It has been suggested that under

now be turning rather toward the formal
treaty plan developed to-day when II
became known that there is In the Amer.

treaty as the only logical instrument
to carry out the decisions of the con-
ference.
The decision. as far as the United

with President Harding. although II Is
taken for granted he will ask for the
opinion of his representatives in the ne

the necessity Of international coopera-
ton for the reestablishment of peace,
he said:
Look at what has happened at
Washington. Until the meeting of the
conference Japan was building ships.
Great Britain was building ships and
America was building ships. Why
could they not cut their programmes
in half? Because each one was afraid
of the competition of the other. Each
was afraid OF being confronted with a
programme bigger than its own.
But they met at Washington
around a table. Some one gave the
lead. Another great Power followed.

action which might have taken years
to achieve if 1t had been left to the ini-
tiative of any Individual Power acting
by itself. should like to apply this
golden rule method all around"
After saying the great Powers would
assist Germany provided she showed
sincerity. Lord CurZon added:
$50 long as Great Britain. France
and Italy hold together I am hopeful
oe this result"
The speaker said in reference to the
hostilities between the Greeks and the
Turkish Nationalists that it was very
important that there should be no vic
tory for either side and that there
should be peace. That. he said. would

Turks, although they we're guilty OF

races. We are the greatest Moham-
medan Power in the world.
"If only we could kill the suspicion
prevailing between Greece and Turkey
we might persuade them that there is
room for both in the Near East. Our
hopes will materialize only If we go

At another point in his speech, Lord
Curzon, referring to the Washington
conference. spoke of the Joy which
was felt throughout the nation over
the events of the last ten days at
Washington, but said he was not
going to utter any premature hosan-
mas. He cited the great day when
the Car of Russia invited the nations
of the world to discuss disarmament,
and added that this did not prevent

of a conference, but by the resolution
of the people that a change could oc-
