SOUND HARDING
ON PACT CHANGE
Special ENJOYS to Tell of
Difficulties Confront
ing Europe.

Paris, Jan. 5.-Individual members OF
the council of the League of Nations
have been talking informally among
themselves on the advisability of send
ing special intermediary or envoy to
Mr.. Harding Immediately after his inau-
guration as president of the United
States, to present the case OF the
League of Nations and to urge upon him
the difficulties which European ceua-
tries would experience in abandoning he
present league and setting up new
form of association of nations.
The principal grounds for this con-
tention are that the league covenant is
a part of the peace treaty which gives
the league administration over the Saar
valley, the Danzig region, and num-
Der of mandates and plebiscites. The
view is held among members of the
French ministry that the solidity of the
treaty itself would be shaken if the
league part of it were abandoned.
This has led to a growing conviction
the league should be kept going in some
form. but not necessarily as now con-
stituted, the advisability of revision of
the covenant being quite generally recog-

BUILDING COST
CUT ADVOCATED
Lumber Manufacturers
Start Campaign Ma
ton Wide.

Chicago. jan. "a national campaign
to reduce building costs was launched
by lumber manufacturers from all Sec
tions of the country here Wednesday.
Lumber has come down in price on
an average of 80 per cent" said Z. B.
Goodman, Of Marinette, Wis, chairman
of the session. "The lumber industry
has absorbed its war time initiation and
we feel that it is up to other building
commodities to follow suit. Lumber rep
resents only about 30 per cent OF the
cost of the average building and not
more than So per cent of the cost Of q
wooden building"
Plans were made for calling the rep
resentatives of the brick, cement tile
roofing and plumbing industries into
conference. A national advertising cam
paign was also advocated.

A resolution introduced by Senator
McCumber, Republican, North Dakota,
would prohibit hotels from charging
guests more than the rate charged during
last month and the present month. He
told the senate that congress would pro-

COMMISSIONER
WALLIS TELLS
DISEASE DANGER
Immigrant Inspection

Europe in Grip Of Four
Epidemics; Natives Flee
to America for Relief.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Testi-
mony by Commissioner Wallis.
of the Ellis Island immigration
station, that Europe was litter
ally moving to the. United
States" and that flood" Of
aliens was imminent, still left
members of the senate immigra-
ton committee doubtful We'd
nesday night as to action upon
the Johnson bill prohibiting i'm
migration for one year. Sever
al members frankly expressed
doubt whether any measure to
stop or restrict immigration
would be enacted at this session
of congress.
The committee obviously was i'm
pressed with Commissioner Wallis
statements as to the need for inspection
of aliens before leaving Europe and for
more rigid examinations after their ar
rival at American ports. The commits
sioner recommended particularly that
facilities be established overseas for
such inspections and declared that 80 per
cent Of the immigration arriving under
the existing system, would be denied per-
mission to sail If they were examined
at the ports of embarkation by American
officials. A proper system of examina-
ton in Europe and upon arrival, Mr..
Wallis said, would prevent an imminent
flood of those diseased IN body and mind.
The commissioner declared reports
of the public health service indicated
that eastern Europe today 'fs in the
grip of four epidemics-typhus, typhoid,
dysentery and tuberculosis" The war
has undermined the health OF those coun-
tries and their emigrants are dangerous
to the public health Of the United
States" he added
Chairman Colt Of the committee asked
whether it would be harmful if con-
gress postponed changing present laws
for six months.
att would not be more harmful than
at present" Mr.. Wallis replied. But I
would prefer a definite measure giving
US more Inspectors, living quarters and
increased facilities overseas"
Drastic changes in the naturalization
law, especially as applying to women, are
provided in a bill reported favorable to-
day by the house immigration commit
tee.
They also would not lose their Ameri-
can citizenship by marrying aliens ex-
cept when an alien husband cannot law
fully become an American citizen, or
when a woman leaves the United States
and resides two years in her husbands
country, or five years in some other
country.
Women aliens also under the bill
would no longer automatically be-
come citizens upon marriage to Ameri-
cans, but would be required to make ap-
pEcation for citizenship after five
years residence in this country.
The bill would require all applicants
for citizenship to demonstrate their
ability to read as well as to speak Eng
lish as at present. Applicants would
also be required to disayow any anarch-
istic beliefs.
A clause relating to Americanixation
work provides that instruction conducted
by the division or citizenship training of
the department of labor shall be made
applicable to all school children.
Naturalization under the new measure
would remain under the jurisdiction of
the department of labor.

Army and Navy Talks.
1t became known that in continuing
his conference at Marion, Mr.. Harding
will make army and navy appropriations
and preparedness in general one of the
principal subjects to be discussed with
his callers. In the near future he is ex-
pected to see Representative Kahn,
chairman of the house military commit
tee, and Representative Butler. chair
man Of the house naval committee, in
addition to various members of congress
who are influential in the framing of mil
itary and naval legislation.
The president-elec already has talked
over the subject with Senator Wads-
WORTH chairman of the senate military
committee several members of the SEN
ate naval committee, and representatives
who have charge of the framing of ap-
preparations as low as national security
permits.
Linked With Preparedness.
The whole policy of military and naval
preparedness is linked with the question
of disarmament under a possible world
agreement. and it is understood this
broader aspect of the situation is con-
stantly in Mr. Hardings mind as his
conferences continue. 1t is said to be
his hope that an association of nations
soon will make the preparedness prob
lem easier to solve, and that in conse-
. quence he is working for a temporary
plan that will keep the situation safe
until international conditions are clari-
fled.
