HOOVER PRAISES RESULTS
OF THE ARMS CONFERENCE


Chicago, Feb. 22.-Looking at the re-
suits of the arms conference solely from
the American point OF view, I'VE can con-
tent ourselves in great accomplishments
Secretary Hoover told the Union league
club here tonight, in a Weshington's s
birthday address.
THE jeopardy. Of war" Mr. Hoover
said, has been most assuredly driven be-
yond o'-r generation. Naval rivalry with
England has been STOPPED with all the I'M
plications which must follow from that
rivalry. The ADglo-Japanese alliance has
been abandoned. The points of friction
between ourselves and Japan have been
settled. The major difficulties between
Japan and China have been adjusted so
that good will may replace hate in the
Far East.
The tide foreign -ggression on the
frontiers of China has been turned back
The d2en door to commerce and industry
of all nations in China has at last been
made effective With all these solutions
a vast growth Of malign political forces
have been l7rooted which, if unchecked,
would have driven unalterably to war.
The world could not go on in these rival
ries in implements to Kill, rivalries that
were based on growing political irritations
without entering upon the job of killing"

he said, however, may not bring SO mich
reduction in taxes as some have estimat-
ed, but had we continued in cur naval
rivalries and with the programs we had be-
fore us. our naval expenditure would have
been doubled within another decade"
With the exception of Russia, Mr.. Hoov-
er continued all Europe has made ur ogresS

.ltest Likely Over
Treaty Reservation
Senator Lodge VIII Today AS
certain the Attitude of Pres
ident Harding.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The progress
of the four-power Pacific treaty in the
senate again was interrupted TO-DAY
while administration leaders conferred
among themselves and prepared to seek
the advice of President Harding wheth-
er to accept the blanket reservation
proposed by those who are opposing un-
reserved ratification.
Contrary to the expectation Of sena-
tors who had sponsored the reservation,
administration acceptance of 1t was
withheld at today's session of the for
eign relations committee, and Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts,, the republican
leader and committee chairman, ar
ranged to confer tomorrow morning
with the president.
In the background Of the committee
situation Is the situation in the senate
Itself where the administration senators
believe that no reservation, regardless
of wheaher it bears the approval of a
majority of the committee members
will ever be adopted. 1t is possible that
the administration forces will decide to
acquiesce passively in a reservation pro-
gram in the committee without actaul-
ly approving 1t, and then make fight
on the senate floor to have 1t defeated
While the committee continued its de-
liberations on the fcGr-power pact to
day the senate began debate on the
| separate treaty between the United
States and Japan relating to Yap and
other former German islands of the Pa
cific. Mr.. Lodge explained the treaty al
length. characterizing It as securing al
the rights the United States ever desired
IN the former German possessions ana
Senator France, republican, Maryland
attacked It as a repudiatio of repubr
| can platform pledges and a part of z
league of nations plan which would

Nevada, is to address the senate taking
exception to some of the treaty provis
| ions.

Sim Fein convention, today, and the huge
gathering Of delegates. impatient that any
delay might endanger the treaty with
Great Britain, gave 1t unanimous apurov-
al and adjourned for three months. The
general feehng was that in preserving in
tact the Party organization something like
miracle has been worked
The net result Of the two days meeting
Of the Ard -Fheis is to insure that no cleo
tion can be held in Ireland for the next
three months, and when Il is held the is
sue will not simply be for or against the
treaty but to determine the Judgment Of
the Irish people on the actual terms of a
constitution in which The t,-eaty will be
embodied
Supporters of the Free State have con-
tended throughout the treaty e7ISbles Ire
land to frame for herself constitution Civ
ing all essentials of freedom, but the re-
pU0licans have denied this and have quot
ed interpretations placed upon the treaty
in speeches by Prime Minister Lloyd
George and other British cabinet minist-
ers.

emphatic declaration that no election

SOURCE OF TAXATION FOR
SOLDIERS BONUS DISCUSSED


Washington, Feb. 22.-The financing
of the soldiers bonus by means of
manufacturers or wholesalers tax was
discussed in what was described as
general sort of way at two sessions to-
day of the republican members of the
house ways and means committee deal
Ing with this subject. 1t was announced
that there would be no furthre sessions
until Friday and members indicated
that there was no disposition to hurry
a decision.
Representative Longworth. of ONO.
ranking member of the special commit
tee, said it was his Judgment that
general manufacturers and wholesal-
ers' tax similar to that in force in Can
ada would be recommended. He thought
the rates would be lower than those In
Canada as treasury experts had esti-
mated that the Canadian rates, If put
in force in this country would yield
$3.50. 900. 900 a year, or more than $780,
600, 600 in excess of the sum which 1t
has been estimated will be needed to f.
nance the cash payments to the former
service men.
Mr.. Longworth said he did not think
the bonus bill would be ready for the
house this week or next. In this con-
nection he stated that there was some
disposition on the part of many house
members to postpone action on the
measure for a time to await the open
| ing Of the refunding negotiations be-
tween the United States and the debtor
nations. Calling attention that the re-
| funding commission had been appointed
| by the president, the Ohio member said
| there was reason to believe that before
| July the United States would have some
| of the refunded bonds in hand.
| The president. Mr.. Longworth went
on to say undoubtedly would not be
opposed to the sale of some Of the for
eign bonds in this country to obtain
money for the bonus. He added that
! before this could be done congress
| would have to enact a law giving au-
thority to the secretary of the treasury
to so dispose of the securities, as the
present law provides that he must use
| them in retiring a part Of the public
debt
The Ohio member said the president
| was opposed to the enactment of bonus
| legislation without any provision fol
raising the funds. # the proposed sale:
tax provision was beaten in the house
he added, the bill then would simply
be a charge against the treasury. 1
was his opinion that II q sales tax were
reported the house would be given al
opportunity to vote separately on tina
