Since June an organization for civic
betterment that is still in its infancy
tho that has proven it can walk alone
has been organized in Pueblo. This
is the Greater Pueblo association, com
posed of the younger businessmen or
the city who seek to make Pueblo a
greater and more beautiful city.
This organization was successful in
having Pueblo represented by a large
delegation at the Arkansas Valley Fair
at Rocky Ford. This not only adver-
tised Pueblo but brought many valley
people TO the Colorado State Fair at
Pueblo. This association backed the
city manager plan at the last Pueblo
election. The Greater Pueblo associa-
tion believes that this city needs more
diversified interests to stabilize its' In
dustriaI life and thus many industries
are encouraged to locate here by this
organization. This body encourages
only those manufactures that expect
no financial subscriptions from Pueblo
citizens. Thru the efforts OF the Great
err Pueblo association 1t is understood
that the Flora shirt company Is con-
sldering Pueblo as -actory site.
That the next five years will be
fruitful ones for Pueblo IL the city
uses its opportunities is the belief ex-
pressed by this association.

whole, the present amendment a.
provided I'm Section 20t OF the ederal
Tax Law. allowing n spread of three
years for the absorption of loss from
flood or casualty. Tho subject when
first presented. was entirely new to
the men In charge of the legislation at
Washington. and It was with consider
able difficulty that the committees and
congress were induced to consider the
proposed amendment. The bill has
been signed by the president, and the
law now provides for the spread of
lous.
As an illustration: A person with
net loss of $4,000. when ho makes
net profit of $4,000 in 1921, may deduct
the eaid profit from tho net loss of
10000. If the profit OF 10000 Ia made
in 1922. that amount is deducted from
the remaining loss from casualty. leav-
ing q balance of $4,000. II the profit
of $4,000 is made in 1929. the amount
Is deducted from the balance on hand

Commerce Club Had No Time to Loaf


The flood OF June ard left the Pu-
eblo Commerce club without any rec
ords. without any equipment. and
without n home. Six months later has
found the Commerce club with new
quarters, located at the corner OF
Main and Second street; where a pam
orma is visible. showing not only Main
street and Union avenue. but the
southern. northern and western por-
tions of the city. the great Sangre De
Cristo range. tho Grecnhorne, Pixies
Peak, and. In fact. the entire eastern
slope of the Rocky Mountains The
view IL so appealing that the Forest
Service contcmplates a Fire lookout
station on the Central block. The
and the members have an asset OF
which they are proud, and quarters
which they delight to exhibit to their
friends and visitors.
The Commercial organization of Pu-
oblo functions as q regular Chamber
Of Commerce and was named, The
Pueblo Commerce club" on account
of II being unusual and extraordinary
in providing the combination OF social
and club features, In addition and In
connection with the regular and estah-

after the Japanese delegates returned
to their home, Japan acted in a way
to demonstrate that she meant not
only TO live up to the letter of the
agreements, but to go even further
The head of the Japanese delegation
to the conference was Baron Kato.
Almost Immediately after his re-
turn to Japan, Baron Kato took the
office Of premier. That fact alone
was an eloquent sign of Japan's good
faith. If she had any intention of
evading the agreements she had en-
tered into, she would have been most
unlikely to choose as the head of her
government the man who had actually
participated in the making of the
treaties and had signed them in per-
son.
Actually Goes Further
In fact Japan has not only ratified
all the treaties in full, but has actual
ly gone further in the carrying out of
the agreements about China and ST.
IBERIA than was called for by the let
ter Of agreements. Japan has with
drawn her troops from Siberia, al
though she was not bound to do this
at any fixed or early date. And in
other ways Japan has not only lived
up to the treaties but has gone even
further in the direction Of showing an
intention to manage her foreign rela-
lions in the spirit of the Washington
conference.
The third nation to ratify the treat
les was Great Britain. This ratifica-
ton is in line with the disposition
shown by Great Britain from the be-
ginning. Both during the conference
and since it ended, Great Britain has
showed a uniform and generous dis
position to be helpful in every way to-
ward furthering the cause for which
President Harding called the confer,
ence.
To Know Stand Soon
The other two of the five principal
powers who signed the treaties are
France and Italy. Of these two ma
tions, nothing was ratified. Whether
France intends to ratify, or to refuse
to ratify, should be apparent now with.
| in a week or 10 days. In France, the
| treaties were referred, without recon.
mendation to a committee of the
French senate. Thereafter. the senate
adjourned. It will come together again
either next Thursday, or the Thursday
! following. AS soon as the French
senate reconvenes, it will be natural
to expect the committee to report
When that happens or soon thereafter
we should be able to know what
France intends.
| The reason Italy has not yet ratified
lies undoubtedly in the fact that she
| is waiting to see what France will do
| Italy wishes to have a navy as large
as Frances. II. France, by ratification
accepts the size of navy assigned tc
her by the Washington conference, 1t
ally will promptly ratifyS also. Il
France refuses, and insists on larger
navy, Italy will probably do the same
Motives Not Known
What may be Frances motives fol
delay, or what may be her future in
tention, is subject about which there
| is much speculation. TO go into thai
speculation fully would be beyond the
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-10-07

scope of the present article. In any
event, as soon as the French senate
reconvenes, within the next 10 days or
so, Frances intentions will be re
moved from the realm of speculation
to that of fact.
OF the smaller nations which took
part in the minor treaties of the
Washington conference China and
Portugal have ratified in full.
We come now to the matter of the
actual scrapping of ships. 1t was not
intended that any ships should be
scrapped until after all the nations
shall have ratified the treaties.
Ceremony First
After, and if, all the nations have
ratified, there will then occur in Wash
ington the ceremony of the exchange
of notifications. 1t is this ceremony
that mark the actual completing of A
binding contract. Thereafter the
scrapping of ships in accordance with
the treaty will be in order.
In the meantime, some of the ma
lions, including our own, in anticipa
ton of the limitation of naval
strength, have already stopped some
of their construction of new ships.
This covers the matter of the naval
limitation treaty. The other important
treaty arising out of the Washington
conference was the so-called fOur-pow-
er pact. This treaty covers the islands
Of the Pacific, and the four nations
which signed it are America, Japan
