BRAND Resignation
May Delay Decision
u. S. on Genoa Meet

Washington, Jan. 12.-Determina-
ton Of the administrators attitude
toward participation in the information
a, economic conference called to meet
at Genoa in March may be delayed as
result of the resignation of Premier
BRAND Of France. it was indicated to-
day in high official circles.
1t is the intention of the admins
tration to avoid haste in deciding its
course in connection with the eco
nomic conference. according to high
officials; and it is believed that the
change in the French ministry will be
a decision as to this governments at
titude will be reached.
SO far the United States has not
agreed to participate in the Genoa col
ference, it was said at the state de-
partment today in response to inquiries
arising from The statement by NJ.
BRAND in the Chamber of Deputies at
Paris that the American government
had agreed to take part in the meet
ing.
The administration. however. is I'M
derstood to consider the resolution
adopted by the allied supreme council
in calling the conference as couched in
the terms of an invitation to the Unit
ed States to participate and to be
without division of opinion on it's at
| titude toward the present situation.
Until the scope of the contemplated
conference discussions are known the
| United States also scarcely will be
able to determine the ACCESSIBILITY. of
! taking in the conference. in the view
! of high officials and for this reason
it is believed the support of the
agenda for the meeting will be await
ed before the different factors to
be considered by the government in
reaching its decision can be studied.
! Objection to the Genoa conference
was made today by Samuel Gompers.
president Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, in Il formal statement
in which he advocated the conference
| idea but asserted that an economic
conference should be called by the
United States to discuss a proceed
ing fixed by the United States
There is, he said no place in an
! international conference for Lenine
and Trotsky" adding that his obiec-
ton was to the action Of the allied
supreme council which constitutes
. recognition Of the soviets rs the de-
| facto government of Russia.

of constructing new vessels of vari-
Gus classes in the near future.
Thus none of the five powers has
at present a modern airplane carrier
and the ratio agreement permits
them to build from two to FIVE each.
If battleships partially complete, burt
falling outside the list Of retained
vessels could be remodelled into air.
plane carrier types, it is argued,
much Of the money already spent on
hulls could be saved.
Opposed to. this is the view that to
convert discarded battleships into
another type of war vessel would
not be in accord with the animating
purpose of the Washington confer
cnce. This position is understood to
have been taken in the big five"
meetings by Secretary Hughes. To
support it the argument was made
that as matter of policy the con-
ference should give a practical DEM
onstration of it's desire to reduce
armament by specifyign that surplus
ships must be put out Of business
altogether
The question of defining the geo.
graphical scope of the Pacific forth
tications- article was described in
authoritative circles today as large
ly a matter of finding the proper
technical Technology to carry out
decisions already reached. A reply
from Toxic is expected by the Jap
anese by Sunday and they believe
the tentative wording worked out by
the "big five" will be accepted.
AS the delegation chiefs approached
the end of their labors on the nava,
treaty. attention Increased in remain
ing issues of the Far Eastern regotia-
tons which are to be resumed next
week. Spokesman for the American
delegation gave the impression that
decision regarding China's request for
conference discussion of the "21 de-
mands." although some of the Amer
lean delegation members are known
to be strongly Of the opinion that the
subject cannot be debated in view of
Japan's objection. Data for use in the
Siberian discussions also is being
'tions, although no action beyond u
general agreement for Siberian integ-
rity is expected.
The nature Of the compromise sug-
gestions made by Secretary Hughes
and Mr.. Balfour for settlemen: of the
Shantung railroad problem is closely
guarded, but 1t Is known that the al
tentative plans Informally proposed
arc cableed by the delegations to TO
liio and Picking contemplate some
measure of Japanese participation ic
management of the road during the
period given China to make payment
for the property. Pending word from
their capitals. the Chinese and Jap
anese both are reserving judgment re-
garding the suggestions.
In high official quarters there have
been indications that the American
government regards the Shantung
question as one which should be SET
tied to insure proper relations in the
Far East and it is known that Presi-
dent Harding has kept himself closely
informed of the developments in the
negotiations. 1t would not surprise
some of those inclose touch with the
question if some proposition for medi.
alton by the president came out Of
the Hughes-Balfour compromise move.

HOW ABOUT A HOUSING COMMISSION,

~. NC you know that within the past week and, in fact. for sew
erai weeks recently. men well known throughout the state anf
regular business visitors in Rawlins, have arrived on NIGHT trains
and have been compelled to sit up the rest of the night because
they could not find a bed? "N"uS
about it. "o"" NC uone
u The very good suggestion has been made that the BOARD ~
Trade arrange to secure the services of a competent m or
woman to act as housing agent" or commissioner" This semi
PUBIC official would be given the task of listing every available
co., room apartment OF house in the CITY. which is for rent.
10 this agent could be referred the innumerable applications
for these accommodations which every business house in the citv
receives DAILY. Furthermore, a campaign could be launched hav
ing Tor Its object persuading householders to rent one or more
rooms for a few months. or until the present crisis is relieved by
the completion of new buildings.
, Thus the party selected would act as a clearing house and
bring landlord and tenant together. in the meantime soliciting
rooms from owners of homes where there is plenty of spare room
but where no necessity for renting rooms has previously existed
In this connection and in view of the emergency another
good suggestion has been made: Several of the fraternal organ.
lzatons, such as the Elks. Masons and Odd Fellows, have large
rooms in their buildings which are not used regularly. Whv moi
put a reasonable number of cots in these rooms, as is Frequently
done in cities where conventions are being entertained and When
a situation such as confronts Rawlins exists?
