BURTON DENOUNCES
 EARRING OF PALS
Former U. s. Senator Appeals to State Officials to Punish
 Mob" Leaders
By Associated Press

Salina, Kan. March 4.-J. Ralph Bur ton, former United States senator from Kansas, issued long statement here to- day, denouncing occurrence at Great Bend, Kan, Saturday night in which Nonpartisan league officers were driven from the community as crime worse than bank robbery
 Burton himself was placed in a motor car and escorted out of town. He as- sons, the other members of the party, were beaten and tarred by the mob and left on the prairie to die
 Both men were in Salina today, how ever, and their injuries are not danger ous, it is said
 Burton said that he had appealed to state officials at Topeka to punish the leaders of the Great Bend mob
 "I will not now discuss the facts in the case" the Burton statement said. I de- sire to wait and see what is said and done in Kansas about the blackest of all crimes on the calendar-the suppression of free speech by force.
 Parsons was confined to his bed here today. The heads of both Parsons and Stevic were matted with tar and they exhibited bruises and discolored eyes. Ac- cording to statement, Parsons suffered three broken ribs and probable internal injuries
 .We underwe t horrible treatment, Stevic declared today. Parsons and l had left Ellenwood and got to Chase when the mob overlook us. They took us to Great Bend and we were. turned over to another mob. We were then taken to lonely place. Two men were stationed to each of our arms. holding them up, while we were fearfully beaten by others. Then a circle of automobiles ringed about us and tar pots appeared. We were stripped to the waist and tar applied Half blind, we staggered away hearing another mob after us. We sought shelter in a strawstack. but at , o'clock in the marning we went back te Great Bend to learn the hour. we walked 20 miles on the railroad and came to a farmhouse. The farmer said that he doubted if we were human De- ings, but he took us in and two leaguers hrought us to Salina."

that they resubmit the port amend ment to the voters at the general cleo ton in November, 1922. This promise was given to Harry T. Hartwe1l, mem Der of the state harbor commission. and the representative of the commis- sion in the submission of the mat ter to the governor, according to MT. Hartwells announcement, following ;l conference with Governor Kilby late today.
 Governor Kilby did not say he had decided to call a special session, but he did say that if he decided to call one for the resubmiss@on of the high way bond issue amendment to the voters he would give very thorough consideration to the Mobile DOT. amendment, which was eereated by q narrow margin at the election last November.
 MT. Hartwell said Governor Kilby re- garded the port amendment ae an ad- ministration measure, and one which should receive the earnest considera- tion of all voters of the state, that ne is in hearty sympathy with the port of Mobile, and that he believes the state should lend it's issuance to de- velopment of the port of Mobile as Louisiana has lent assistance to the de- NelOp1nent OI tue port Ol 4NeW OIleanS.
 If the governor finally reaches the conclusion that it would not be well to include in the call the resupmission of the port amendment he will urge the lawmakers to give the necessary ma . jorty to the amendment on direct vote of the two houses. This would mean that the amendment would require three -fifths majority of the two houses instead of the two-thirds majority re- quired when the subjects are not in cluded in the call MT. Hartwell said he had found sentiment in favor of an extra session general throughout the state in order that the votes of tho people may again be registered for or against the highway bond issue. which received the creates. majority ever cast in favor of any issue when it was submitted February 16, 1920. Governor Kilby left the impression with MT Hartwell that he desired to postpone the special session as long as pos sible but that if 1t is necessary he wi call it before the end of .ne year.

NIX A. WRIGHT,


and Japan cooperating to dlsarm
these bandit armies, giving them their
pay in exchange for their arms. This
cannot be done without the supsrvis-
ion of the three powers named. Then
these three powers must cooperate
to refund Chinas enormous debt and
to provide means to see that she pays
the interest which is not being paid
now. They must find out how much
China can afford to pay without i'm
pugning her sovereignty.
"Can these three powers reach
such an accord? The answer is, if
they don't Japan will be compelled
to step in herself to force payment
by the Chinese on the immense loans
made by Japan.
Would America consent to this?
Probably not Would America go to
war to stop it? No, probab bly,; yet Am
erican refusal to cooperate in paci-
flying China will lead inevitably to
such a result.
''The question also arises: Should
America be disquieted by Japanese
penetration of Manchurit, China, Sag
halien? Look at the japanese situa-
! ton: great population on a group
of small islands. We have the right
, to bar them from the white lands,
believe, but l also believe most
! strongly that we should not say that
! they cannot expand in the yellow
Mexico still in the background and
what future borders we do not know.
I'VE are justified, however, l be
lieve, in saying that equal opportuni-
| ties should be guaranteed all nations
F., in these regions-that a Japanese
owned railroad, for instance, cannot
hamper American shipments to the
advantage of Japanese goods. OF
course, there will never be exact
equality, for when it comes to trade
with the Chinese, the Japanese sales
man, with the common script Ian
guage and the willingness to carry a
pack if necessary, can back American
and British merchants and statesmen
! off the boards. The talk of young
| Americans and Britishers griddline
China with American and British
made products is all poppycock. 1t

pray that it does not happen, but not
to be prepared for it would be Il ca
lamity, and the government would
fail if it lacked the foresight to CO.
ordinate these different agencies to
prevent the waste and misery that
would follow any great calamity like
strike that would tie up this port
indefinitely.
Therefore the Port Authority will
be constantly. through its representa-
tives and it's members, here on the
job, ready to receive suggestions,
ready to call on you as individuals
or groups to function with it and to
help the Port of New York Author
ity to maintain the health. the well
fare and the safekeeping of the peO-
pie within its confines in any crisis
with which we may be threatened.
The daily times., 1921-11-03

Two other questions the confer
ence must consider if it is to succeed
The first is the French insistence on
security from Germany. Until France
is guaranteed some sort of such Sc
curity you can bank on it that she
is not going to reduce her army.
! Fortunately, new elemeE. has
entered this problem, for now Ger
man leaders are seeing that assured
France is as essential to German Sc
curity and personality as it is to
France The agreement necessary
probably would not have to be as
strong as the tripartite agreement re-
jected by your country, but unless
there is some agreement there will
be no armament limitation in France.
The other question is the Anglo
japanese alliance. That alliance was
made by Japan and Britain-which
you must remember is an Oriental
power as well as an Occidental pow
er-as a protection against Russia
1t was renewed in 1905 against Ger
many, and again in 1911, but with a
provision that it is of no effect where
the United States is concerned.
To-day, from your point Of view,
that alliance is menace to your
trade and security Let's assume
that is so, and see what you ar ask
ing us a greaet Orienteal ower-tc
bid goodbye to the other great Orien-
! tai powers; to say we're through
with you
1T can't be done without an alter
native, and that alternative is a com
mon agreement among the three pow
ers for common action in China
which would sweep aside the secret
; treaties which l regret to say my
country made in stress Of war, and
! bing common basis of understanding
founded on an king en-
tente. From my talks with the Jap
anese delegates already here 1 be-
lieve they are ready to agree to equal
opportunity in China, if legitimate
| Japanese needs are recognized
Everything is possible if Ameri-
/ ca and Britain stand together; moth
! ing is possible if they don't. I know
such an accord can be overplayed and
misjudged by other nations, but it is
vital to the common good of the
| world"
