PROVAL TO ARMS CONFER

PROMPT ACTION REQUESTED
Five Principal Treaties and Two
Supplemental Agreements De-
livered to the Senate.

Americas professed desire to rid the

low mockery,"

Delivering his message in person,
in a voice that betokened deep emo
ton. the President was answered re-
peatedly by applause from floor and
galleries. He asked that ratification
be given without delay and before he
left the capitol senate machinery was
set in motion to hasten vote.
Five principal treaties and two
supplemental agreements. the fruition
of the twelve weeks Of negotiation
just concluded here, were in the bun
die of international covenants taken
to the senate chamber by Mr.. Hard
ing They propose in short, limita-
ton on naval armament, new bill OF
rights for China, and a four.power
concord to preserve peace in the Pa
cific.
All of these agreements, said the
President are related portions OF the
effort ito put an end TO contradictions,
to remove antiquities, and establish
clear understandings. None of them,
he asserted, commits the American
government ito any kind of an al
lance, ENHANCEMENT or involvement"
After the address was completed.
both republican and democratic lead

FORD CONTRACT DISCUSSED
TALK OF REDUCING THE TIME
CLAUSE FROM 100 TO
FIFTY YEARS.

WASHINGTON. - The advisability of
reducing the time clause in Henry
Ford's offer for the lease Of the Mus
Gle Shoals, Ala, government owned
lands, from 100 to 80 years was ques'
toned indirectly by Major General
Lansing H. Beach, chief of army en-
gineers. in testimony before the house
military committee.
Referring to the general policy of
the government not to lsase its prop.
critics for period exceeding 80
years. General Beach in his testi-
mony at the second day of the hear
ing of the committee on the Ford
proposal said that 1T is not always
advisable to apply one general rule
to things big and small
Secretary Weeks, who was heard
by the committee. declared repeated
ly that in his opinion it would be I'M
wise to permit the lease Of public
lands or properties to private inter
ests for so long a period as one
hundred years General Beach, how.
ever, said that it was "a question in
as big and important a matter as
this whether the so years rule would
not work hardship"
1t was his belief, the general con-
tinued, that in the disposition of the
properties at Muscle Shoals, the par
amount consideration should be the
effect upon the nations defense rath-
err than the manufacture of fertilizer
The country, he said should not be
caught again" without an adequate
nitrate supply.
The disadvantages of installing
power plants in Alabama and estab-
fishing market for their output
were dwet upon at length by the en-
gineer chief. He said it would be
comparatively easy to install plant
at Niagara Falls, with market close
by. but it was quite another feat,
from the standpoint of time, to do
so in a sparsely settled region like
that about Muscle Shoals, with only
four cities within reasonable dis
lance.
The engineer officer was preceded
on the witness stand by Major Gen
eral Williams, chief of ordnance,
who occupied the greater part of the
days sessions explaining valuations
of properties involved in the Ford
offer He estimated that the War
rior power plant and. transmission
line could be salvaged for s3,OOO,OOO
or more, and declared under exami-
nation by committee members that
figure was three-flfths of all that
Mr.. Ford had offered for the nitrate
plants and other properties. These
properties, 1t was estimated, had a
scrap value to the government OF 49,.
$4,000 and would be worth S16,272,-
900 if made partially operative and
the remainder salvaged.
