Pope Benedict
Approves Hardings
Plan for Peace
BY Associated Press

Washington. November 9.-Pope
Benedict approves President Hard
ing's plan to bring about the lmi-
ration OF ornaments by common
understanding among the nations
Although the pope has no represeh
tative at the conference. Monsignor
Bonzano, apostolic delegate in Wash
ington, will follow the proceedings
and report them to the vatican. Toe
vatican's interest in the develop
ments of the conference is SO great
that an Illusion to 1t may be MADE
in the allocution which the pope VIII
deliver in the consistory OF Novem-
Der 81.
The Rome correspondent OF The
Associated Press understands that
the pope claims a priority In the
movement for limitation OF armd-'
ments which he hopes viii lead TO
disarmament altogether. His peace
note of August l. 1917. to all the
belligerent powers, urged them TO
agree on some fundamental print
ciples to end the war and lead to
just and lasting peace. The vatican
was so concerned to deliver the
note officially to the United States
government that, as Monslgnor
lomatic character. the note was sent
to the state department through the
British foreign office. and the Brit
ish ambassador in Washington. 1t
invited all the countries at war to
agree upon the simultaneous and
reciprocal decrease OF ornaments"
limiting them onlv to what strictly
was necessary. for the domestic
maintenance of public order.
At the same time Cardinal Gas
parri gave The. Associated Press a
statement in which the papal secre-
tary OF state further explained the
pope's plan and that his belief that
only disarmament could assure a
durable peace based unon principles
of Justice. Cardinal Gasparri stili
believes one Of the chief reforms to
that end is the abolition of conscrip
ton. The United states and England
have no CONSUMPTION, the cardinal
pointed out. and he argues that with
CONSUMPTION abolished an offensivs
war would be almost materially i'm
possible In Europe. and arbitration
would necessarily take its place.

tion and Is said. to know American
men and affairs better than anyone
else at the vatican. He had long
interview with NJ. BRAND about the
conference before the French pre-
mier left Paris and indicated to him
the point of view of the vatican on
the subject.

HARDING MAY Be
MEDIATOR IN TAX
+. REVISION FIGHT
Wide SpIitsEEs Republican
Ranks :, 30 and Sem
sS sdFgents May
.Oln Minority

\ Washing Bn. November 9.-Presi-
dent Harding may be asked to act
again as mediator in the tax re-
vision fight.
This is the view OF democratic
leaders in the House, who point to
the wide split in the republican,ra ranks
in both the House and Senate on the
income surtax provision in the tax
measure.
The democrats say that the ma
jority leaders in both houses are
opposed to the Senate amendment
with its maximum rate of so per
cent, but are faced with the posi-
biiity of its final enactment through
a coalition OF "insurgent" republicans
and the solid democratic minorities.
Representative Dickinson of Iowa
and other leaders of the "insurgent"
republicans in the House believe they
have sufficient votes. with the aid
of the solid minority. to force accep-
lance of the Senate surtax rates.
They have agreed, however, to defer
the fight in the House until after the
conferees get under way their work
of rewriting the tax bill.
Under the agreement as outlined
today by both sides, the bill will be
sent to conference tomorrow with
out Instructions to the House man
ayers, but the managers before
agreeing with their Senate co-work-
ers on the surtax provision, will ask
the House for instructions. This, It
was explained, would open up the
fight on the floor of the House. prob
ably next week.
Proposals were going around today
for q compromise at maximum fig-
ure OF AZ per cent, or 10 per cent
higher than the maximum originally
fixed by the House and agreed to by
the Senate finance committee. Spokes-
men for the insurgents" said, how
ever, that this was unacceptable to
them, and democratic leaders de-
clared flatly that--they would fight
to the end for the so per cent max
imum.
The tax bill as passed by the Sen
ate was reported back today to the
House Upon examining it members
there found that the Senate had set
something of record by way of
amending a House bill by adding a
total of sac amendments. Despite this
great number of changes, Chairman
Fordney of the House ways and
means committee, who will head the
House conferees, said the bill prob
ably would be in conference only a
few days.
Representative Fordney said the
conferees probably would not meet
until Saturday, as the House man
ayers would require time TO study
the Senate changes. Besides Mr.
Fordn.y, the House managers will
be Representatives Green of Iowa
and Longworth OF Ohio, republicans.

Mississippi, democrats,
