SANTIAGO. Chile, April 25.-The
position of the United States as the
guardian of the peace in the western
hemisphere again will be emphasized
If the pan-American conference rec
ommendstion for compulsory arbitra-
ton among American nations is ac-
cepted.
The report made by the armaments
committee was based on the proposal
Of DR.. Gondra, delegate from Para
quay.
The arbitration treaties recommends
ed are similar to those advocated by
William j. Bryan. with a modification
made at the suggestion of the United
States delegation. making the findings
clashes more elastic, so
that nations need not submit to the
decisions of the commission where it
is shown that national honor is at
stake. The personnel of the proposed
commission was made all-American,
the selection of the fifth member not
being left to the president of Switzer-
land. but to the American nations
Gondra proposal. as soon as the text
is completed, will be adopted unani-
mously. Delegates of the larger ma
tions have received instructions from
their governments authorizing ac-
ceptance.
Governing Board.
An agreement virtually has been
reached on the subject of reorganiz-
ing the governing board Of the Pam
American Union, making it possible
to get the unanimous approval Of the
members Of the political committee
In accordance with the principles laid
down by the Costa Rican delegation.
with certain notifications suggested
by the United States delegation.
The proposal as rewritten makes 1t
possible for any nation not repre-
sented on the governing board to
obtain special representation in GER
tsin cases The revised proposal says
nothing about making the office Of
president of the board rotative, as
desired by the Cuban delegation.
VIII End May B
1t is virtually decided that the con-
ference shall end May 3, although the
date has not been fixed officially. It is
expected that the prospect of an early
adjournment will force the A B C ma
tions to get down to work in earnest
on the reduction of armament question.
Members of the conference say they do
not want to enter upon a technical dis
cussion Of the matter which affects only
Argentina, Brazil and Chile, but IL these
nations adopt a plan for future deliber-
ations this will be agreed to by all the

Associated Press luncheon in New

A number of others prominently

Ice. REVOKES ORDERS
ON RAILWAY FARES

Orders of the Interstate Commerce
Commission requiring railroads to be-
gin sale Of interchangeable mileage
books at 90 per cent reduction on reg
ular passenger fare rates on May Is
were revoked today, and the effective
date of the mileage books sale post
poned until January /, 1924.
The action Of the commission. which
follows the granting of an injunction
in Boston against the commissions
order, resulted directly from an ap-
peal for postponement by western
carriers.
Though the court order only re-
strained sale of the books. by fifty
eastern railroads, the commission de-
cided to forestall the confused situ-
alton which would arise from sale
and use Of the mileage In other parts
Of the country and from possible
court action on behalf of western and

LONDON. April 25.-Through prl-
vate commercial sources word
reached London today from Con-
stantinople that the Angora govern
ment is SO vitality pressed for money
that 1t must Immediately take
drastic steps to recoup the national
treasury. Owing to the recent dis
agreeable relations between the
Turks and the bolsheviki all supplies
of money from Moscow have ceased.
while French credits have similarly
disappeared, leaving the Turks In
sorry financial straits.
This money shortage is declared
responsible for the Turks pressing
Admiral Chester and his colleagues
for immediate substantial advances
for the concession rights given them.
The requests are made so insistently
as to cause several members of the
Chester syndicate to lose all their
enthusiasm for the great project OF
rebuilding the Turkish railroads and
exploiting their copper mines. They
look upon the present Turkish de
mands for cash payments as another
maneuver like that Of 1914. when
Turkey inveigled France into lad-
vancing a huge loan and then re-
pudiated the concession upon which
the loan was secured.
Expect Cautious Policy.
British interests feel certain that the
Chester syndicate Will adopt cautious
methods in dealing with the Turks, prob
ably delaying immediate steps to put
the concession rights into effect.
Many signs exist of Turkish financial
difficulties. according to reports from
well informed British sources. For the
past month the Turkish government has
refused to pay civil employees IN Con-
stantinople. basing its refusal on politi-
cal grounds, but actually not having
cash for ready use. Officers and men of
the KemaIist army are complaining hit
terly over the failure of the government
to pay salaries

EXPECT GERMAN OFFER.
London Predicts Important An
nouncement Soon.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 25.-The prospect
Of Germany making definite repara
tions offer. especially with reference
to a settlement Of theRuhr situation,
is widely discussed in the press here.
The view is generally taken that re-
cent utteranceS of German statesmen
and comments by German newspapers
point to the likelihood that an i'm
portant pronouncement on this sub
ject will be forthcoming from Berlin
soon.
Opinions differ as to whether such
a pronouncement would contain an
outright offer in figures. 1t has been
hinted here that Lord Curzon has
suggested to Germany a sum which
would be acceptable to the allies, but
the Times today processes the ability
to deny this report authoritatively.
The newspaper also cites utterances
of allied statesmen showing that any
offer of q settlement in the Ruhr must
be made directly to Paris and not to
London or elsewhere.

ney lockwood inquired Of United States
Attorney Gordon whether all the wit

that he could not assure counsel that
all the witnesses would be used by

clared that he had special reference
to Mr.. Payne, and asked If the gov

such assurance Mr.. lockwood asked
for a subpoena on behalf of the de-
fense.

The writer, who recently professed

loan, suggests that knowledge of
these negotiations may have prompt
ed the Turkish nationalist govern
ment to seek All Immediate substan-
tial advance from the Chester syndi-
cate. This request, the correspon-
dent adds. possibly accounts for re-

Enr The Man Of the House.

Equipping an electrical den for the
man of the house is a project that
will not require as much money as
one may think. These are some of
the things that go with it: An electric
log fireplace, an electric cigar lighter,
a humidifier that clears and perfumes
the air of every faint of tobacco
smoke, and even In these days the
electric cocktail mixer cannot be over
looked. Other articles for the den
are a clock that never has to be
wound, and an immersion heater
which may boil water for a hot drink
or for shaving in ten minutes. His
couch can be fitted with an electric
comfort which covers it entirely, and
a softly shaded reading light will
surely be a most welcome companion
at his shoulder.

a ENCOURAGEMENT THAT PRESI-
4 dent Harding is to run for re-
election is the outstanding piece of
news of the past few days. A state
ment to that effect was issued by At
torney General Harry NJ Daugherty,
the cabinet minister who is known to
be most closely in touch with the
Presidents personal thoughts, the
other day in Florida.
The statement is based on no rumor
of dubious authenticity. On the con.
trary Mr.. Daugherty set the stage
for his pronouncement by formally
calling in the reporters who are trail
ing Harding on his southern tour and
telling them of the decision, right after
he had been closeted with the Presi-
dent
Along with the declaration came a
hint as to the grounds on which Mr..
Harding will seek reelection. They
are four in number, as follows: Taxa
stion, law enforcement, the record of
the Department of Justice Indicating
that attacks on him are to continue),
and the question as to whether this
government will continue to hew along
the lines as laid down by the Constitu-
ton or listen to the policies advanced
by foreign theorists.
The first three policies are con
sidered as measures to forestall at
tacks on the administration by the
Democrats while the last issue is
aimed at rival candidates who may APP
pear in his own party. Only one
serious candidate looms as a rival
within Harding's own ranks. according
to those close to Mr.. Harding, Senator
Robert M. LaFollette, the Wisconsin
politician who has disputed for the
nomination in every fight since 1912.
Hiram Johnson, of California, is
thought to have been eliminated when
his friends and financial hackers, Will
liam Wrigley. Jr., Of Chicago, Alexan-
der P. Moore, of Pittsburgh, and A. D.
Lasker, were brought into the Harding
encourage after the last election. Mr..
Moore now is ambassador to Spain
while Mr. Lasker is a member of the
Florida houseboat party and chairman
of the shipping board.
Harding will open his pre- election
campaign this summer. according to
present plans, when he will make a
speaking tour on a trip to Alaska

nNE of those rare utterances by Sec
~ rotary of State Charles e. Hughes
was made the other day, to a delega-
ton of women seeking to have this
country recognize the Russian govern
ment, in which be bluntly stated that
there seemed little immediate chance
for the United States to enter into
friendly relations with those at the
head of the soviet. His statement
was to the effect that Russia would
have to show an honest desire to
accept its obligations and pay its debts,
and to cease antagonizing other gov
ernments by fostering social reyolu-
tons outside Of its own borders be-
fore it could be admitted to the con-
cert of nations. He asserted that this
government desired to help Russia to
it's feet but that it must first see a
basis of helpfulness. Recent changes
by the Lenin regime have been a step
in the right direction, declared Mr..
Hughes, but they have been so far
from being adequate that they could
not be considered seriously as the
basis for a friendly approach by the
United States.
Quoting Zinoyiev, Lenin and Trotz-
ky's words where they assert the Rus
sian political situation merely is the
beginning of a world revolution, Mr..
Hughes badly stated: Il desire to
see evidences of the abandonment of
that policy"
