Outlook Bright for Disarmament

Outlook Bright for Disarmament
Rapid progress is being made to-
ward the disarmament conference at
Washington. Great nations have re-
sponded favorably to the invitation of
President Harding to send delegates
ito the meeting and much is expected
from the gathering. Many have been
pessimistic over the result of the war,
believing all the suffering, heartaches
and high taxes have been in vain.
Part of the nations have been reduc-
ing expenditures for death killing
ships on account of a shortage of
funds and are in a favorable mood
towards reducing the war burden to
a minimum. When they look at their
taxes and realize that about 80 cents
on every dollar paid is for war, past
or expected, the proposed conference
appears to fit the situation. The
masses of the earth have the power
to reduce the cost of war and it is
for the masses to carry out the idea.
The proposed gathering at Washing
ton may be starting on new road
which will lead to the furling of bat
tle-flags the world over. The action
taken is to be encouraged. Instead
of black years it may mean ones of
happiness. War is the most waste
full of all the activities of man and to
Ireduce this to a minimum will mean
more to the world than most of US
ever could dream.

MISSIONARY WORK
IN ASIA FAC|L|T
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Especial Dispatch to The Atlanta Journal
and Chicago Daily News-Copyright, 1929
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Next in
Importance, as conference factor,
to the nationwide expression Of de-
sire for armament limitation and
progress toward peace, and in good
part responsible for these, is the
broad American basis of American
interest in Asia as mission field.
For a hundred years past this coun-
try has been building foundations for
it's political policy of international
altruism.
The explanation of the seemingly
quixotic concern Of the government
of the United States for the welfare
Of the weak peoples and for the
spread of idealism, is to be found in
the Enthusiastically millions of
missionary sermons and addresses
and prayer meetings, and in the tens
Of millions of pages Of missionary
literature which have been directed
upon the present generation of Amer
leans. 1t is doubtless a safe gener-
alization to declare that the mission.
airy spirit and work is the most
typically American of all the gen
eral expressions of our national life.
Certainly it is what underlies the
present conference. Still the man
on the street does not know that

Signs of Unrest
Still in Evidence
In CITY of Lisbon

LISBON, Dec. 10.-Signs of I'M
rest continued to be evident in this
city for some weeks after the revo-
lutionary outbreak Of October 10
when ex-Premier Granjo and two
others were assassinated.
For at least two weeks after that
occurrence, manifestations were
made by revolutionaries who de-
manded that the government put in
to operation the revolutionary pro-
gram. Posters appeared on the walls
Of buildings calling upon the people
to rise and rebel against those who
were alleged to. be driving them to
starvation" and demanding that the
government resign If it did not
know how to govern.
One demonstration was made out
side the ministry of the interior
when a revolutionary officer, Major
Salustiano Correia, delivered a
speech in which he declared that
SHOULD the revolutionary program
not be strictly fulfilled, I and all
true Republicans will again seize
our arms to bring about the ends
for which the revolt of October Is
was made"
Another orator delivered speech
in which he attacked profiteering
merchants and capitalists.
Foreign warships remained III the
harbor for some weeks following the
revolt.

Over 100 names Of old .andown-

taken by double that number of
newcomers.
In the preface, the editor remarks:
"Much as the passing Of old fami-
lies from the land or the dimunition
of their holdings, is to be regretted.
the rise of new class of landed
gentry, possessed of means enabling
them to develop estates which had
become impoverished through the

CONTROL OF POTASH
SEIZED BY GERMANY

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Germany
has seized control of the American
potash market, virtually wiping out
all American competitors in the first
important clash of the new com
mercial war;" DR.. John E. Temple,
president Of the New York section
Of the American Chemical Society,
declared in an address at the Chem
lists club,
The new potash industry in Amer
lea, he declared, was betrayed" by
"a American distributing companies
which he said had signed secret con-
Of competition with the German
monopoly.
IT have in my possession" said
DR.. Teeple, "a copy Of new form
of contract framed with the DEVILS
own ingenuity to evade all existing
American laws. This is q contract
between the Deutsche Calysindikat
Of Berlin, the official German potash
monopoly, and the "a American dis
tributors. The provisions of this
contract, with the change of a few
words, are applicable to almost any
industry in the country and if this
form of alliance is to be successful
then there is nothing to prevent the
utter wiping out Of one industry
after another in this country and
the transfer of industrial supremacy
to Germany.
"The contract provides Tor the
amounts to be purchased by each
one of these companies. The price
feature efefctually prevents any
American concern from meeting the
German terms, for it provides that
if any of the buyers is offered potash
lower than the cut-thrOat price
agreed upon-the Germans are to be
advised and given an opportunity to
meet it before any outside purchases
are made. The German seller also
agrees to pay any tax or duty af-
fecting deliveries under the contract
which may be imposed or assessed
by the United States government
under the anti-dumping act of 1921
or any amendment Thereof.
The contract also provides that
the American potash mixers and dis
tributors shall purchase not less
than rs per cent of their require
ments from the German monopoly.
1t is reported that, by arrangement,
the French potash monopoly is to
get the other rs per cent so that
nothing whatever is to be bought
from any American producer.
"The Germans have won their
first victory in the new commercial
war. We are the sufferers. If they
can hold their spoils for a year we
are out Of the business forever.
Upon that, the Germans depend, for
then theJ can raise their prices
and in one season easily recoup

JUDGE LAND|S FAILS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The
house late today voted SO to 81
against an amendment to a district
judge bill which would force Federal

tire1y to discussion Of whether
Judge Lands is overstepping the
judicial proprieties by taking the job
as head of organized baseball.
