ROTARIANS TURN
OUT 100 PER CENT
IN EAST MOLINE


There was 100 per cent attend
ance at the meeting of the East Mo-
line Rotary club yesterday. This
was due to the enthusiasm stimu-
lated by the contest between two
teams of club members headed by
H. j. Banta and John w Casio as
captains. Each captain worked hard
to get every member of his team
to the meeting and both felt well
compensated for their efforts when
they found that not a single mem
Der had failed them.
The Rotes heard talks by Earle
T. Smith and Ed Carroll, vice pres
ident of the Davenport Rotary club.
Mr.. Smith spoke on the subject of
civic consciousness and outlined
the work he is directing for the
Chamber of Commerce. Mr.. Carroll
gave a report of the state Rotary
convention held at Des Moines and
spoke at length on the question of
disarmament.

LEAGUE READY
To COOPERATE
WITH HARDING

CONTINUED from first page1
The League of Nations. The fnan-
cial position of European states i'm
periously demands further redue-
tons in military expenditure. and
indeed it is not too much TO say
that the economic revival of Europe
largely depends upon such reduc-
tions being effected"
Harding Not Hostile.
The latter thought corresponds
exactly with President Harding's
view-namely, that the economic
stability OF Europe is vital to Amer
lean prosperity. He feels. there
fore. that the league can do a USE
full work and he hopes it will abide
for the purpose of enecting peace
as between the nations which are
within the jurisdiction of the
league. Mr.. Harding knows that
the cooperation of the league in
establishing the policies decided
upon at the Washington confer
ence will be helpful and he has let
il be known that neither he nor
any spokesman of his administra-
ton intends the slightest hostility
to the league. Mr.. Harding believes
i America should not be a member
but he wishes the league well Just
| the same And the league now Ie-
| turns the compliment.
