TAKE DATE

Diplomats Believe Other Pow

Armistice Day.
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES.
International News Service.


The assembling of the disarma-
ment and Far Eastern conference
in Washington on Armistice Day,
Nsssubsr III, ,sthe date first sug-
gested by President Harding and
later officially proposed to the
world powers, became virtually as
sured today when Great Britain
notified the United States that any
date agreeable to Washington 10
agreeable to London.
No Word From Others.
Nothing has been heard officially
from the other powers concerned
Japan, France and Italy-concernins
the acceptability OF the November
date, but officials OF the State De.
partment were optimistic today that
November IL would prove agreeable
to them also.
While the United States Government
would like to see the conference as
semble on November IL, there is no
disposition to be arbitrary about II,
officials said today, and II later the
~ hlicaOc Lay udAS 10 louho
able this Government will interposs
no objections to its being postponed
until a later time. This, however. ts
not anticipated.
1t is entirely probable that the COM
plete program for the conference can
be worked out here in Washington be-
tween Secretary of Suare Hughes and
the ambassadors of the countries In
volved, according to the view held in
official quarters tocay.
Discussions of the agenda are now
In progress here, and to date they
have progressed most favorably, is
was stated today.
VIII Discuss Mandates.
Mandates certainly will come with.
In the scope of the conferences unless
all the differences surrounding them
are cleared up between now and
the date for the assembling OF tho
conference, 1t was officially stated.
1t is the position of this Govern
ment that the zap mandate has what
is officially termed a special status"
because of its being an important
communications point. and unless a
satisfactory settlement is worked out
within the next few months, Yap
will occupy an important place in
the program.
The United States is not prepared
to concede that zap is an issue con.
cerning only the United States and
Japan. II is. the position of this
Government that Yap is an issue
between the United States and the
allied and associated powers who
endeavored TO deliver the small but
important island to japan without
consulting the United States.

"why don't they merge?"
That's what you wonder whenever
you think about washington's street
car problem. You look at our two
big. independent street railway sys-
TENS. and you think 1t Is absurd to
have two. You declare we should
have but one. and you cannot under
stand why they don't get together.
Each IL willing to merge-under
certain condifions--and today I'm 90
ing 10 explain what those conditions
are. 20 far az the Capital Traction
Company IL concerned.
Sets Forth Merger Conditions.
In the official files OF the Public
Utilities Commission and of the
House District Committee is a very
interesting statement subscribed to
by President George e. Hamilton and
Vice President John r. Hanna. Of the
Capital Traction Company, setting
forth the conditions under which they
would recommend merger to their
stockholders. Let's look at II and
see IL II is reasonable or unreason-
able.
First, let's recall and fix firmly in
our minds the capitalization of the
two companies.
Capital Traction.
Preferred stock ........ $4,000, 900
Washington Railway and Electric.
Preferred stock ......... $500 900
Common stock .........1 $500, 900
Total w. r. & F....... 15,000, 900
Now. the usual plan, in a consolida-
ton, Is for all stockholders in each
company to turn in their stock and re-
ceive in return therefor stock In the
new consolidated corporation.
That's what the Capital Traction
proposed in it's offer to consolidate, but
II laid down some very positive condi-
tions as to WHAT VALUE should be
given each stock, and what rights the
holders of II would have in the NEW
merged company. Here's what It first
proposed:
Wants Dividend Priority.
1. That the 10000, 900 of preferred
stock of the Capital Traction Company
be turned in at par Tor s12, ,000, ,000) and
tnat for II there be issued $4,000, 900
of FIRST preferred stock, to draw 7
per cent dividends. and, in addition, to
participate in any profits left over
AFTER dividends had been paid on the
Washington Railway and Electric hold
ings in the consolidated company.
2. That the Washington Railway
and Electric preferred stock of $780,
coo be turned in, not at par, but at
71.42S5 cents on the dollar, and that
there be issued for II SECOND pre-
ferred stock. to draw per cent. but
NOT to participate in any surplus left
over after all dividends had been paid
This would mean that for their pre-
ferred stock, whose par value is ss,-
SOC, 900. the Washington Railway and
Electric stockholders would get se,071-
422 in stock of the consolidated COM
pany Further. the fact that IL would
