the nations parties to the Conference,
we have made war more difficult and
less justifiable for all nations, and
have given a new assurance to those
who desire and hope for the future
peace OF the world
The present administration has
given not only actual and practical
expression of its desire for peace, 1t
has gone to the extreme limit in the
reduction of its military establish
ment.
We are "scrapping" our Navy down
to the treaty standard. by which the
United States must limit its tonnage
to $4,000: Great Britain 525,OO0
Japan 315.O00; France 175,0OO; and
Italy, 175,0O0.
We have reduced our annual war ex-
penditures Of over $4,000, 100000 to
about s600.0O0000 and are making
further reductions every year
The last administration refused to
end the war with Germany for over
two years after the Armistice was
signed, except upon acceptance of the
Versailles treaty with the League Gov.
enant. The present administration
made reace with Germany without do

interests, territorial quarrels, religious
hatreds, and race jealousies whic,

The people of the United States earn
estly des q peace. The last admin
istration. with an insistence that
would not consider any method Of Sc
curing the peaceful! settlement of in
ternational disputes except the League
Of Nations, went out of power largely
because of that fact. The people saw
in that scheme an assurance of furth-
or wars rather than a reasonable plan
for the disbursement and prevention
of wars.
TIE present administrati ton with rare
wisdom undertook to secl-e concrete
and definite international agreements
which would result in diminishing the
probability OF future wars by limiting
the armament of those nations whose
competitive strife could only result in
future wars. Accordingly, the Presi.
dent called a Conference to meet at
Washington to consider the limitation
Of armament and to make such settle
ments and agreements especially with
regard to tie Pacific and adjoining
territory as would determine existing
disputes and remove causes OF future
discord.
Ju6ged by practical results the
Washington Conference was the great
est actual achievement in the cause
OF peace ever accomplished. 1t Sc.
cured treaty agreement by the five
great maritime powers for a definite
limitation of naval armament. 1t Sc
cured definite agreement regarding
the use OF submarines and noxious
gases in warfare. 1t secured by the
four-pact treaty an agreement fixing
the status. defining the rights, and
limiting the building and enlarging of

Pacific. 1t secured confirmation by
nine OF the great nations Immediately

and agreements that will prevent the

Stntz Niotors' Future

Now that the Guaranty Trust Com
pany has acquired control of the Slut
Motor Car Company OF America, there
is a good deal of speculation in the
financial district as to Just what ii
plans to do with it. Management o.
the company MAS for some time past
been under the direction of the Guar
anty, so that no immediate change is
anticipated. Several possibilities pre-
sent themselves. The Guaranty is un-
derstood to have bia the stock in fol
its own account, contrary to intima-
tlons earlier that the purchase was fo1
some other interest or group of inter
ests. The most probable course is that
after the companys affairs have been
further Strengthened out an effort will
be made to dispose of the company to
another motor company or TO a syndi-
cate formed for the purpose. Failing
in this arrangement, it IS always. fea-
sible that the company should be re-
organized and made to stand on its
own feet independently of other com
panieS.

In speculative opinion there was a
practical deadlock yesterday, which
was expressed at the marketplace in
a further curtailment of trading. The
present dullnes, though partly season.
al, is in measure ascribable TO de-
sire to await developments in the rail-
road and coal strike situation. The
threat of new cleavage between
france and England, resulting from
The British note on debt payments
likewise added to the prevailing nm
certainty.
Despite the factors beclouding the
outlook, prices were firm in most of
the markets Both railroad and in
dustrial security quotations on the
average closed higher, and despite ir-
regularity in the exchange market the
tone of European currencies was
strong.

tion resulting from the reports of
weather favorable for harvesting car

to new low, price for the current
crop, but on data regarding export
buying the market turned. Final
prices, as compared with those of the
previous day, were u a cent bushel
lower to Is OF cent bushel higher.
The reaction from the boom in cot
ton prices, following the publication of
Tuesday of the government crop re-
Fort showing further deterioration
OF the condition of the crop, went fur
ther yesterday. Net changes consisted
of loss of ii to 3e points.
In the news of the day of stock
market bearing, further cuts in crude
oil and in gasoline received attention.
In spite of this the Mexican oil shares
were eagerly bought during the after
noon With the coal supply dwindling
bulls on oil shares call attention to
the possibility of using fuel oil instead
of coal wherever possible.

Railroad and banking circles attached
little significance yesterday to the an
nooncement of the Southern Railway
system that it was prepared to take
back It's men on the BASIS outlined in
President Harding's proposal. The fact
that tho road is not a member of the
Association Of Railway Executives was
cited as evidence that it's action does
not really reflect any waverlng IN the
ranks OF the carriers, who are appar-
entity as firmly aligned against any
concession on the senloFity question as
when the vote was taken last Tuesday
TO reject the settlement plan. The
financial community almost unanimous,

as group and expects that the strike
