FEARFUL OF PLAYING

Cannot Understand Why World
Powers Take Part in Settling

The United States has informed ia
pan of it's ideas on the scope of the
disarmament conference.
This action is intended to meet ia
pans desire to know the extent to
which far eastern affairs are to be
discussed before she goes further in
considering an invitation to partici-
pate.
1t is not now possible to state the
extent to which the American gov
ernment has gone into details. but 1t
is understood the communication is
sufficient TO afford material for
close study of the proposal by the
Japanese foreign Office.
Official circles here continue to evil
dence great confidence that com
plete acceptance of the American in
vitation eventually will come from
Toxic.
Japan's reply yesterday to the pre-
liminary invitation was to the effect
that while she would accept an in
vitation to d disarmament conference
she was not willing to participate In
an unrestricted discussion of far east
ern affairs. Diplomatically. Japan
asked for some idea of the program.
The information the American gov
ernment has now sent to Toxic gives
the foreign Office material for making
its next decision.

Mr.. HOOVER STATES
HARDING PROGRAM
Federal Assistance in Recov-

Industry Outlined.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. July 15.-Points in Presi-
dent Harding's program for govern
mental assistance in the recovery of
by Secretary Hoover in an address
here today before the National Asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards.
This great economic program of
our President includes" Mr.. Hoover
said. revision of our tax system. re-
duction governmental expendi-
lures. settlement Of the tariff. reor-
ganization of the federal machinery
for more efficient service, reorganiza-
tlon OF our mercantile marine, re-
funding of foreign loans, relief of the
world from armament assistance to
exporters of our commodities. upbuild-
ing and safeguarding of our foreign
commerce. assistance to our farmers
by mobilization of private credit. ex-
peditious settlement of the obliga-
tons OF the government to the rail-
ways, encouragement to development
OF our great power resources. the sys-
tematic elimination of wastes in pro-
ductlon, and research and education

Naturalization Danger.
place of the government in expediting
economic recovery is raised in Wash
inston every hour of the day" Mr.
Hoover continued. We are flooded
with economic patent medicines that
would evade the stern laws of eco
nomic hygiene. The question of what
the government can do becomes in
part question of our whole attitude
toward social and economic questions.
Unless we would destroy individual
initiatives and drive ourselves
straight into decentralization or pa
ternalism. the government cannot un-
dertake to reduce or raise wages, to
deal in commodities, no matter how it
is camouflaged."
One of the most difficult problems.
the Secretary declared, is that of
housing Estimating that nearly 60
as tenants. he asserted that nothing
is worse than an increased tenantry
and landlordism in the country"
Channels for Federal Aid.
There are. he contended. three fields
in which the government can be OF
assistance in remedying the housing
situation.
First" he said. "the government
must. as a matter Of primary duty,
drive every combination out of busi-
ness that attempts to restrain trade.
Second, the government. to some de-
gree. directly or indirectly, controls
or obstructs the flow of credits, and it.
therefore, has responsibility toward
this part of the problem. Third. the
government can and should interest
itself in dissemination Of information,
in scientific study of certain problems

ceive voluntary reduction in wastes.

MORE RIOTS IN BELFAST.
Military Forced to Resume Control

BELFAST. July 15.-The military
resumed control Of the North Queen

and armored cars patrolled the streets.
At the city hall a conference was
held attended by officers of the police
and the military by leading towns
people to discuss the situation here in
view Of the disorders that had occur
red during the week. Acute trouble
developed early last evening in the
York street and North Queen street
districts. several civilians being
wounded in fighting in which the po-
lice and the military were forced to
intervene. The rioting stopped alb
ruptly at the curfew hour. but it was
announced that reinforcement Of the
military in Belfast from adjoining

When the reports from last nights

were killed during the disorders and
that between thirty and forty others

EFFICIENCY MOVE HERE.
City Heads to Confer Tomorrow
With Department Chiefs.

The first step toward carrying out
In the District government the plans
of Gen. Dawes for more efficiency and
economy in government operations
will be taken by the Commissioners
tomorrow.
The city heads will confer at noon
with the heads of all departments for
q general discussion Of the question
Of more efficiency in municipal affairs.
simultaneously with this confer
ence, Victor G. Croissant Of the
United States bureau of efficiency will
begin his survey of the District Of
fees.
Mr.. Croissant arrived at the Dis
erict building today and was given
headquarters in the auditors office.
He spent the day becoming familiar
with the numerous agencies and de-
partments that make up the District
government, how they are supervised
and what their functions are.
1t is probable that the first step OF
the efficiency expert will be to send
q QUESTIONABLE to the heads Of de-
partments, asking for a detailed state
ment Of the number Of employees, their
salaries and duties performed.
Commissioner Rudolph, discussing
tomorrow's meeting with the depart
ment heads, said the possibility Of re-
ducing the number of city employees Is
not likely to come up.
Whether a curtailment in force is
necessary or possible will depend on
the report of the bureau of efficiency
after 1t has surveyed the District
service, the Commissioner indicated.

Mr.. HAYS HAS PLAN

FROM EXPENDITURE
Tells Cabinet of Great Re-
ductions Possible in De-
partment in 1922.
ONE AND A HALF PER CENT
MAY BE CUT FROM FORCE
Hail Service Expected to Be
Strengthened Without Taking
on More Carriers.

Postmaster General Hays today
placed before the cabinet plans to
save $15.000.000, or about per cent,
from the approximately $575.o0o.000
appropriations for the postal service
of the United States for the fiscal year
1922.
It Is likely that in effecting these
savings a cut of about u per cent IN
the working force of 100000 postal
employees of the country may have to
It is understood that the estimated
cuts, as prepared by the Post Office
Department in line with the plea OF
Director Dawes of the budget. In
clude approximately 100000 to be
saved on city letter carrier service
and 100000 more on temporary
carriers, making total Of $4,O0O.OoO
On carrier service alone.
Cuts of approximately $2.000.000 are
called for in the railway mail service.
and perhaps an equally large sum on
mail bag equipment throughout the
patton.
Reduction Spread Thin.
While these reductions may mean
some reduction in force throughout
cut will not total more than stated
above, with perhaps the greatest re-
ductions to be made by refraining
from filling more positions.
There is in the postal appropria-
tions a sum not to exceed $75.0OO,0OO,
which it Is within the power of the
various officials of the department to
spend at their own discretion, and 1t
is from this sum that the estimated
savings are to be made.
In effecting the proposed saving IT
Is understood to be the intention OF
the Post Office Department not to
weaken the mail service OF the coun-
try in any sense, but to strengthen II.
Service to Keep Standard.
None of the proposed cuts. 1t is be
ieved, will have any effect on the
total service rendered the country by
the postal service, the reductions to
be made on the basis of efficiency and
not theoretically.
The reductions may mean tighten
ing up on the employees to some ex-
tent, only the thoroughly efficient be-
ing retained. This does not mean. OF
course, that the great bulk OF en-
ployes throughout the country are In
any danger Of losing their jobs.
But II the savings are to be enected
on city carrier service, either through
the reduction Of forces. spread thin
throughout the cities and towns OF
the country, or by refusal to take on
any more carriers. 1t Is believed that
every man must give his best to the
service, and. in the phrase Of Post
master General Hays. better his

VAGRANCY BILL CHANGE.
Commissioners to Recommend Less
Drastic Provision.

Believing that Senator Balls bill to
define vagrancy in the District is too
drastic. the Commissioners today de-
cided to recommend a number of
changes.
At the suggestion of Corporation
Counsel Stephens and Mai Gessford.
the Commissioners will advise that
the first paragraph be stricken from
the bill. The corporation counsel is of
the opinion that this section would
prevent any persons from returning
to the District after having served

SAYS INTERESTS"
| OPPOSE BONUS BILL
Senator Walsh Also Declares
President Was Misinformed
in Senate Talk.

Declaring that big moneyed inter-
ests are combating the soldiers ad-
justed compensation bill. but that
labor. the farmers and the small busi-
ness interests of the country have
made no complaint against it, Senator
David I. Walsh of Massachusetts to-
day vigorously opposed the recon-
initial of the bill to the Senate finance
committee
When the Senate met today it was
with the agreement for a vote at 3
o'clock on the motion of Senator Pen
rose. chairman of the finance commit
tee. to recommit the adjusted COM
bill, as it has come to be known. Pre-
dictions were freely made by admin
istration leaders that the wish of the
President would be acceded to, and
the bill would be recommited and ac-
tion on 1t deferred.
Says President Was Wrong.
Senator Walsh denied emphatically
that President Harding had been cor
rect when he told the eSnate few
days ago that there were 5000 vacant
beds in the hospitals awaiting for

Walsh is a member of the special
committee now investigating the
treatment of former service men by
government agencies. including the
disqualification of the veterans.
Referring to the high wages paid
men who remained at home during
the war; Mr.. Walsh insisted tina. the
payment of the proposed adjusted
compensation to the veterans Of the
war, in view OF the economic bene-
fts derived by the stay-at-homcs dur
ing the war, was only a matter of
/ simple justice.
at seems pertinent to inquire
whether the members of the finance
committee were really in possession
of sufficient information about the
status of the United States Treasury
to make them capable of determining
whether the passage Of this bill at
this time would break the Treasury.
It seems pertinent also to ask If the
Secretary of the Treasury alone had
in his possession the facts about the
financial condition Of the United
states Treasury. and IL men who have
served here for a decade or more as
members of the finance committee
were not as we'll informed about the
financial status of the Treasury as q
man who has been in office only few
months"

In preparation for final action on
the motion to recommit the bonus
bill, Senator Kenyon OF Iowa yester, tsas

There was considerable discussion
as to the use of DINNERS. Several
councilmen held there should be a
city law requiring the use of dimmed
headlights, but in view of the fact
that the state of Virginia has never
vet adopted such law. it was deemed
useless to provide such a regulation
here at this time. Very little trouble

CHIEFS SEEM ovERWuLINa.
Propose Cuts Thought More Waste
full Than Saving.

Cabinet officers and their assistants
are being compelled to stand as
watchful sentries over the bureau
chiefs and subofficials to prevent a
stampede in cutting of federal appro-
priations to the point Of crippleness
and waste. Bureau officials now are
working on figures of the appropria-
tions for the current fiscal year. in
an effort to show the bureau of he
budget just how much they can save
for this period.
There have been a few bureau off,
cials, it has become known. who. in
their eagerness to make a showing
when their reports go to the director
of the budget July 80. have made
slashes in their appropriations with
out taking into consideration that
their cuts will result in waste. There
are instances which have come to
light where bureau officials have sug
Gested cessation of building now in
progress and just leaving the money
appropriated by Congress for con-
tinuance of structures in the reserve
fund.
Cuts Not Economical.
1t has been pointed out to them in
TO uncertain terms by their chiefs
that such cuts are not economical and
not in line with the whole purpose of
the governments effort to put economy
and efficiency In government, but
amounted to absolute waste, as the
part of the building or buildings al
ready up. and which Congress intended
to be finished, would deterforate from
the elements and would become a total
loss, and when the time came to finish
the building the preliminary work
done would be found to be useless.
Bureau chiefs in practically all of
the departments must show that cuts
they suggest are real economies, and
not just plain cuts without regard to
future consequence. When the figures
reach the bureau of the budget and are
tabulated. after July 80, 1t is expected
that there will be some very interest
