the aggressive action of any other
power, the contracting parties shall
communicate with one another to
arrive at an understanding as TO
the efficient measures to be taken,
jointly or separately, to meet the
exigencies of the particular situa-
ton"
Now 1t is the view of many sem
ators that when aggressive action"
occurs the conference OF powers
does not by any means meet merely
! to decide whether they shall take
any measure. They communicate
only ''in order to arrive at an un-
derstanding as to the most efficient
! means to be taken"
One Phrase Vital
One the words most efficient
means" the whole thing turns.
There's the rub. Then senators who
feel deeply about this subject point
out that yelled obligation is in
that phrase for if the aggressive ac-
ton is taken by a naval attack
when an island in the Pacific be-
longing to Great Britain or Japan
is encroached upon, then the most
efficient" if not the only effective
measure to meet that exigency
would be jointly to send a navy to
repel the naval attack.
While the aggression continues,
the United States would be obligat-
ed to do something to help those
whose rights were threatened.
That's the opinion of most senators.
Could America agree to talk only
while rights were being threatened?
Many senators would like America
to be free to use her good offices
in such controversies without in
volving naval or military force and
they are unwilling to have the
treaty leave the impression that the
United States is obligated to go
much farther. They want Ameri-
ca to be free to join in the naval
measures if she likes and refrain
just as the circumstances of the
case and the judgment Of the
American people may distate. But
they do not want foreign govern
ments to have the opportunity to
make out a case saying the United
States has made a scrap OF paper"
out of sacred treaty. They want
the United States to be able to say
that at no time did she bind d~her-
self ito join in any defense"
America Must Speak.
Notwithstanding the views of
those who urge the Brandegee res
ervation, there are some senators
who favor the wording of the pres
ent treaty because they want an
alliance and because they think
America should join in the common
defense of the Pacific. They inter-
pref the treaty as meaning exactly
that In view of this difference of
opinion among American senators
the advocates of the Brandegee
reservation say America should
say once and for all now and not in |
the future what she understands by |
the treaty.

JOSEPH KELLY
WITHDRAWS IN
FAVOR FARRAR
Prompted by War Hero's Illness
Contest is Narrowed to
Three Candidates.

Joseph p. Kelly today announced
his withdrawal as a candidate for
the Republican nomination for pro-
bate judge in favor of Benjamin
Farrar. Mr.. Kelly explained that
his action was prompted by Mr..
Farrar's illness, resulting from
wounds and the effect of being
gassed in the World war, and in
view of his present condition ne
desired to step aside in his favor.
The contest is narrowed to three
candidates by his action, the 9th
er candidates besides Farrar being
Ben A Stewart of Rock Island and
George D. Long of East Moline. Mr..
Kelly's announcement follows:
After circulating my petit
tions for the office of probate
judge. / learned of the physi-
cal condition OF Ben Farrar. 1
learned the cause of It. 1 also
learned that he was handicap
ped on account of his heart
trouble, in gaining a practice
in law. After being advised
that he had heart trouble be- \
cause of wounds and the effect
Of being gassed in World war,
and after learning that his ply
sical condition retarded his ac-
tive practice in law, l decided
that it was my duty to retire
from the field as a candidate for
probate judge. I will therefore
not file my petition. I wish to
thank my friends for their
names on my petition and all
those VINO were in favor of my
being a candidate.
In concluding l would like to
say that Mr.. Farrar belongs to
no faction. He and his parents
are lifelong residents in Rock
Island county. His services in /
the World war and the injuries I
he received can well be paid for
by giving him the office of pro-
bate judge. He is the only
World war veteran who is a
candidate for the office of pro- |
o. bate judge and 1 believe some
OF those who stayed at home !
will have good man in Mr..
Farrar TO prove their love and
respect for at least one of the !
boys who fought over there g..
l also believe that this county
Will be we'll repaid in selecting
the services of Mr. Farrar to be
the judge over the estates of
all decedents."

Get SCARE ON
| HOUSING BILL
City Officials Read Graham Bill
and Then Scan Contract to See
ii Bill Covers Case.

Rock Island city officials were
given quite q scare this morning
upon the receipt of copy of the
Graham housing bill, which is now
before the senate and which the
local officials have been looking
upon as the only means whereby
this city may hope to recover ap-
proximately $4,000 in pavement
assessments and back taxes in the
government housing district
The bill proposes that cities
where government homes were
built, be paid all moneys due under
contracts made with the munich
palities by the United States Hous-
ing corporation
The city of Rock Island had a
contract with the corporation
whereby the corporation agreed to
pay certain sums OF money in lieu
of taxes, but it was believed that
there was nothing in the way of
writing that would hold good in the
case of the paving.
A conference was called in the
mayors office and it was proposed
that Illinois senators be communi-
Gated with in view of having an
amendment tackled on the bill that
would allow the payment of money
to this city for the pavement laid.
1t was declared that under the
bill as it now stands no moneys
could be collected excepting such
as had been contracted to pay by
the housing corporation.
However, no such action as out
lined above was necessary. The
officials found in copies OF some
OF the transactions with the cor
poration where the corporation
asked city improvements Of vari-
ous nature and agreed to pay for
the same. Under these were listed
light, water mains and sewers and
what other improvements might
be asked. It was declared that
this. clause would protect the city.
and the mayor and commissioners
were relieved of their anxiety
They hope for the early pasaaEe !
Of the bill by the senate.
