COST OF CONFERENCE
WORRIES WASHINGTON
No One Seems to Know How Big Dis
armament Gathering Is TO
Be Financed.

Washington, Aug 10.-Upon accept
ances being received from Italy and
China of the suggestion that the dis
armament conference on November
II, Armistice Day, the attention of ad;
ministration officials now is being
oentered largely on the physical fea'
lures of the meeting.
Just how the expenses OF the con-
ference are to be apportioned has not
been definitely determined, Secre-
tary Hughes, IT is believed, will dis
patch within D few days the formal
invitations to the conference and 1t is
possible that the wording of that doeu
ment may maize II clear to the Invited
powers whether they viii be expected
to come as GUESTS of the American
government or merely as conferees
who expect to pay their own bills.
How many delegates will represent
any separate government will be left
to the judgment of the separate pow
ers, although Il is believed there will
be equal representation.
State department officials are pre-
pairing tentative estimates in an at
tempt to find some basis upon
which Director of Budget Dawes can
fix the amount that will be required
for the conference The one item OF
printing already has proved to be
awkward.

SOUTH WILL SETTLE
IT'S RACE QUESTION
Speaker at Conference Believes Solu-
ton Win Be BY People
Most Affected.

Lake Junalaska, ~ c., Aug. TO-
The next big forward step in the So
luton OF the race question will come
from the South, the Rev. WV. Alex
ander OF Atlanta, secretary OF the
commission on lnter-Racial Co-opera-
tion, predicted here today at the Lay.
mems Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South.
II say this with absolutely due
regard for the friendship of the Negro
in other sections and with the full
est and Cnstinted gratitude for al
they have done In philanthropy and
education IN church and State, y
the Rev. Mr.. Alexander said. Never
theless, the next big step in the inter.
racial readjustment is TO come
from the south, and the reason for
this is perfectly apparent
The South can afford TO do il, and
what is great deal better there is
a growing conviction here based upon
sense of Justice and fair play for
all men. Then too the South has
social prestige to do this The social
question figures largely in the race
question. So the South can when II
viii take the leadership in interna.
tlonal cooperation.
! 81 be ieve the South will assume tn s
leadership, with the same sort of
pride and determination as 1t led
the Nation in the overthrow of the
rum traffic.
1T has been the universal opinion
OF those who have come in close touch
with the question that Negro leaders
do not desire or seek social equality
They have asked for police protec-
tion. better housing, better sanitary
and living conditions. better educa
tional facilities and a chance to de
velop into useful citizens with every
determination TO maintain their own
social life and the purity of the two
racial stocks.
"The reasonab!ene and intelll
gence of Negro leaders greatly en-.
couraged the white men who have
come in contact with them. The fact
that Southern white men and women
have man tested their interest in
Negro welfare has gone far to allay the
unrest and pessimism which was so
rapidly spreading through great sec.
tions of the Negro leadership in
America.
