Increased Retirement Money
Expected-ErroneousIyR Re-
garded as Pensioners.

The position of retired government
workers as 'annuitants," rather than
persons upon pension basis. will
help materially in securing the in
creased annuities for which many OF
the retired are working, it is be-
lived.
1t was pointed out plainly by one of
those interested in the matter that
nowhere in the retirement law does
the word pension" appear. and the
bureau does not use either the words
pension or pensioners in its
blanks and forms.
Difference Explained.
"A moments consideration of the
difference between 'annuities' and pen
sionS,' as they are considered in legis-
lation and defined by the courts, shows
how very unfair it is to the annuitants
to refer to their claims as pensions TO
be estimated for. raised by taxation,
and paid by congressional appropria-
ton" declared the speaker.
"Annuities paid are with the ex-
ception of a small fractional part for
administration) paid into the Treasury
by the employees a special fund, and
require no appropriation whatever.

Let US hope that these distinctions
may be borne in mind in referring

are entitled.

condition. but will be Immediately

The league of nations association
of Japan has adopted resolutions

President Harding in calling the dis

The practical realization of the
reduction of armaments,' the resolutions
stated, will be extremely difficult as
long as great power like the United

looking to an international confer

Japanese League of Nations AssO-

ornaments. =
This association earnestly desires
the establishment of as complete an
as possible among the
powers concerned regarding the prob
lens of the Pacific and the far east
which may come up for deliberation
at Washington, together with the
question of ornaments. In it's opin-
ion. the utmost care should be taken
in the selection of questions to be dis
cussed, so that no matter already dis
posed of by international compacts
should be submitted to consideration
at the conference.
discussion of such matters could
lead only to international discord
THE existence of strong interna-
tional organization is necessary to. the
success of any scheme looking to the
reduction of ornaments, or other
measures having for their object the
of a durable peace among
nations. 1t is. therefore, believed that
move has given an excellent
opportunity to powers already affiliated

ing's official invitation to the French
government to take part in the con-
ference at Washington on disarma-
ment and far eastern questions was
received by the American embassy
here last night and will be delivered

Acceptance of the invitation was
taken'~as a foregone conclusion. The
French delegation. it was under-'

the supreme council, probably will be
small. as it Is known that Premier
BRAND does not favor an enormous

many offers to lease a house for the
accommodation of the French dele
cation during the conference.
Washington, it was pointed out to-
