RESULTS OF ARMS
 p ARL LEY PRAISED.
Peace On Earth Depends On Justice Between Nations,
 Says Executive

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1o.--In an Ar mistice Day message. given out at the White House tonight. President Coolidge declared the arms confer ence had done much to promote peace and good will and he hoped that the day finds us Ion the thresh- hold of a new era" His statement follows:
 November Il will be the fifth an- niversary of the signing of the ar- nistiee, which ended the World war. The nations have not yet recovered from that great catastrophe. nor will they recover for some time to come. But a great deal of progress has been made in that direction. Most of the millions of soldiers have been returned into their civilian oc- equations, and commerce and indus try are tending toward their pre- war conditions.
 Resentments Meilowed By Time.
 The lapse of time has mellowed the resentments, which arose out of the war, and has healed many of the wounds that such a struggle was bound to make.
 Tt is greatly to be hoped that we are on the threshhold of new era. The Washington conference. result ing in the first practical limitation Of armaments among the nations of the earth, did much to promote peace and good will. In our own country, rigid economy has brought our ex- penditures within our income, and brought about a reduction of war debts.
 Our country will remember with gratitude on that day those who served it with such distinction. and renew it's resolve to continue to meet it's obligations to those who suf- fered injury from their service. Heroism Of soidicrs Praised.
 But for their action, so patriot ically performed, Armistice Day would have had quite another meaning for us and for the world. It will not fail, either. to pay the reverence due to the memory of those who did not see the end, but died that the end might come.
 Tt is well, also, to recall just what this day meant. It meant the end of war It ought to mean the permanent return of 8 peace which can only be established through good will, and only enjoyed in security when it rests on justice. If there Is to be peace on earth, 1t will be be- cause between nations there Is jus tice on earth"

HUNDREDS SEEK GOOD INVESTMENT
Armour Employes Subscribe LiberaIIy To Stock When
 Given Chance
By RODNEY F. BUTCHER Leased Wire To The Age-Hernld.

CHICAGO, Nov. s.-American work CTS have hundreds of millions of dol liars which they would be glaG to in- vest in good securities If they could be convinced that their savings would not be imperilled.
 The "sucker lists" are dwindling, and it looks like long, hard winter fo. the wildcat stock salesman.
 The workers are saving their money and their comparative pros- perity Is on practically the same basis throughout the country.
 The "employe ownership idea, in- solar as 1t applies to sale of stock Of large corporations to their em- ployes, has been scratched only on the surface.
 Many lifetime savings = still kept in the old sock.
 These conclusions have been reached by officials of Armour & Co.,, Chi cago packers, at the close of cam paign to sell s0,co0 shares of the firms preferred stock to employees here and in the many Armour branches. The stock available was far oversubscribed and the move ad- ded 10000 minority stockholders to the company's books.
 T did not dream that so many of our wage earners had the savings habit already, and that ley would be in position to pay c.sh for the stock" comments one high official, who was Instrumental in the decision of the packing firm to require no initial payment by subscribers and to keep the weehly~payments small. Workers Good savers.
 "As g result of our experience" the man said, T have come to the con- clusion that the working people are pretty good savers but that they lack guidance as to investment. They want to buy stock, but believe they have to buy great blocks of it, cash down.
 Many of our people had their saw ings at home, drawing no interest whatever and subject to considerable risk. Many others had their money In savings accounts where they were drawing from 8 to 1 per cent. Very few were actual owners of stocks or bonds, but they grasped at the plan which we offered thenl."
 The plant and branch workers wanted to know all about the offer, however. They weren't buying stock just to help out the concern, 1t was pointed out, and showed a marked unwillingness to gamble. Hence the fact that dividends on the stocks be- ing sold was guaranteed. Is believed to have proved its most attractive feature.
 "They wanted to be sure," this man continued. that in an emergency they could turn their holdings into cash. I should say that about 1s of every 20 men I talked to felt that he should keep his feet on the base, though he wanted to invest and get better returns than he could get in the savings bank.
 Sales failed to indicate that any one section of the country Is be- hind the others in the matter of in- dividual prosperity. As a matter of fact, the record for the highest per oentage of sales among the plant workers went to a plant in the so- called wheat section.'

W \ N I $ ANE RIGA IN WORLD, COURT
United States Chamber Of Commerce Committee
 Urges Participation

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-American participation in the World court on the basis of the reservations pro- posed by Secretary Hughes is urged in a report of the foreign affairs committee of the United States Cham Der of Commerce sent today to busi- ness organizations over the country having membership in the national chamber.
 Those signing the report are John H. Fahey, New York, chairman; Maj. Gen. Henry T. Allen, retired, who commanded the American army on the Rhine; Joseph H. Defrees, Chicago; Walker D. Hines, New York; Fred l. Kent, director 1nsti- ute of Economies Washington, D. C.; pr. L. S. Rowe. director general Pan-American Union; Silas Il. Strawn, Chicago; F. o. Watts. St. Louis banker. and Clarence M. Woo ley, New York.
 Much of the committee report is devoted to answers to what arc held to be the four major points in con- troversy. The argument that the United States would be drawn into political entanglements fails to dis tinguish, the committee holds; be- tween judicial action and the field of political action.
 fThe United States would not, under the statute of the court itself" the report says, "be compelled to sub nit any case to the court at any time. The United States. without it's con- could not be summoned into the court by the court itself, by any nation or sent could not be summoned into the court by the court itself, by any nation or any group of nations"
 With regard to the contention that the court has been erected under the League of Nations, the re- port declares the court did not origi- nate In the League of Nations nor the Versailles peace conference.
 "The protocol or treaty consti- tuting the court" the report says makes it separate world court, not a league court. and not a part of the league. It is especially pro vided that states. including the United States. which are not mem bers of the league, are competent suitors before the court; that citizens of all states are eligible for election as judges of the court. and that all states which were members of the old permanent court of arbitration at The Hague, and this included the United States. are entitled to make nominations of judges"
 With specific reference to the ar gument that through adherence the United, States would give official recognition to the league and be- come involved in the leagues affairs the committee says:
 That would be taken care of through the reservation proposed by tho Secretary of State providing specifically against legal recognition or the assumption of any obligations under the covenant of the league"
