ican Legion has made formal request
Of President Harding that the le-
gion be given representation at the
Unemployment conference to be held
in Washington about September Is

mittee of the soldier organization.

Herbert Hoover, secretary of COM
meree, who is making the plans for
the unemployment conference.
~ believe" wrote Mr.. Taylor, that
the country generally is aware CT
the unemployment at the present
time existing among ex-servlce men,
and I believe that It would be highly
advisable that the American Legion,
which has devoted a great deal OF
thorght and effort to this matter,

MELONS Tax Program.

Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
appeared before the Senate Finance
Committee today in defense of his tax
program already submitted to the
House Ways and Means Committee.
Prior to his visit to the Capitol, the
Secretary of the Treasury spent
sometime in conference with Presi-
dent Harding at the White House 60
ing over the details of the tax pro-
gram. The Gazette correspondent
was informed that Secretary Mellon
is prepared to attack the proposition
of Senator Smoot, of Utah, for
sales tax proposal. He finds in it
some good features, it is said, but is
represented as not favoring it as
revenue producer this year or next.
He believes the methods he already
has suggested, if generally followed,
will met the governments revrrre
needs and produce a better equa "a
ton of the tax burden.
Within the Senate Finance Con."
mittee there is disposition to abide
bv the views of the Secretary of tho
Treasury as voicing the policy Of the
administration. Because Of this, there
is no substantial support ior the
Smoot proposal.

Allies Favor Treaty.

The Gazette correspondent made
careful survey of the State Depart
ment today to find out, if possible,
whether the European allies have
prescribed to the agreement made
between Germany and the United
States in the treaty of peace between
the two nations AS matter of fact
the attitude of the Allied Nations has
never been one of concern to this
government. It's officials have re-
ceived assurances, unofficially, that
the principal powers who aided in
the subjugation of Germany, are hearc
and soul in favor of the separate
treaty which this government con-
summated with Germany. President
Harding and his Secretary of State
have already taken the ground In
several notes dispatched to the Eu-
ropean allies that while the Treaty
of Versailles, to which the United
States was not a part, formed GER
tain conditions upon which the
enemies of Germany would treat, this
government would reserve every
right and emolument guaranteed
under this pact as fact precedent
incident to the victory attained IN
the overthrow of Germany.
The attitude of the United States
has not changed in any particular
since the first note dispatched by
the Secretary of State and Republican
victory at the polls last November
means just what the American
people thought it mcant.

WASHINGTON

(From Our Special Correspondent.y

Washington, Sept. s.--Democrats
throughout the country are watch
ing with the deepest interest the
plans for the forthcoming confer
ence on disarmament on Far Eastern
questions. Secretary of State Hughes
told the Gazette correspondent today
that he has never described the
forthcoming meeting as one on dis
armament.
I'm order to set at restall rumors
about the rumors regarding tals
meeting" said the Secretary toGay.
Il have laid particular stress upon
the fact that the meeting called -
gether in Washington on Novemlcr
II, Armistice Day, is classed by me
as a conference on the limitation of
armaments."
The Secretary of State, carrying
out the ideas expressed In recenC
speech of President that total dis
armament is out of the question,
called attention to the fact that he is
not either q theorist or fanatic.
He wanted to convey the Impression
That he did not believe that the
nations of the world would ever come
to a point when they would lay down
their arms; neither would they cease
to fight when the occasion Tor such
contest arose.

Only One Condition Imposed
ireland Must Stay
In Empire.
BRITAIN INVITES.
Plunkett Addresses Dominion Status.
Moderate Leaders Seek to Avert
Rupture And Speed Happy Ending

London, Sept. S.-The British Cab
met has invited Mr. de Valera to
send delegates to a ,onferen"e with
IT,. Cablrat Ministers at Inverness:
September 20, according to the Daily
Mails Iverness, correspondent, who
adds:
"Only one condition is imposed,
namely, the understanding that Ire
land must remain within the En-
pire."
The c ,mriur;::a ::at :? to Mr.. je Va
lera, according t (, THIS Dispatch, asks
for an early reply and points out the
apparent uselessness cf conducting
negotiations by q further exchange
of notes. In order to allay any
fears regarding Ulster the decision
that Northern Ireland must not IN
any circumstances be roerced was re-
affirmed by the Ministers.
Dealing with the Cabinet meeting,
the Daily Mail says:
"The Premier told the Ministers
that he regarded the situation as
grave and critical and he was con.
vinced that further interchange OF
notes was useless. One Minister,
who had been in personal contact
with Sinn Fein opinion, said he was
the real intention of its leaders to Sc
cure a plebiscite of the Irish people
after a further exchange eff notes
and to insure that such plebjscite re-
suited in a mandate for a conference
After the conflicting interpreta-
t;:ns placed in Ireland and England
on the latest Sim Fein note were re-
ferred to the Premier, he said it was
necessary to impose time Limit and
ascertain beyond doubt whether the
Sim Fem was prepared to remain
within the empire.
If so o permanent settlement was
possible. If not. further negotiations
were useless. The Cabinet therefore
should make another effort to secure;
an agreamnt on this point, with all
the blessings of peace to follow.
Thereupon the Ministers quickly
made up their minds and the decision
and invitation conveyed in the reply
were unanimous.
Dispalches from Dublin today
busted themselves explaining that
Mr.. de Valera's statement to the
press Yesterday was intended to re-
move the idea from the minds of the
British Government that he was in
sisting upon recognition of an irish
republic as preliminary to confer
enceS.
According to the Westminster
Gazette's Dublin correspondent, the
real meaning of Mr.. de Valera's
statement was that if the Irish dele
gates were allowed to enter the con-
ference untrammeled they were pre-
pared to give every guarantee to the
British representatives. :, ;,
"a free gift from free people,
asserts the correspondent. lis really
what De Valera is aiming at" -,
Other Dublin dispatches last night
record feeling of optimism and a
disposition to interpret Mr.. de Va
lera's statement, which yesterday
caused much perplexity,, as peace
signal. 1t is believed apparently in
Sim Fein quarters that if the Brit
ish Cabinet invites the Sim Fem to
a conference the invitation will! be
accepted. Moreover, it is thought
that a few hours frank discussion IN
conference, instead of by exchange
of letters, would serve to clear the
whole atmosphere.
