ing session OF the conference. Dele
gates Rowe. Vincent and Pomerene
were the only United States delegates
at the luncheon, the others sending
their regrets.
Different yerxIom Of Meeting.
1t is known that the Interpretation
put upon the Aguero speech WAS the
real cause OF the delegates failure to
attend. though. when It became known
that the newspaper correspondents had
learned of thS Incident denial was made
that the circumstance had anything to
do with the absence of the delegates
from the luncheon.
In the course of an oratorical cf-
fort before the armanpents commit
tee. Aguero Is reported to have said
In effect that Cuba never will rest
until 1t had complete liberty notwith-
standing the power Aeking to with
hold it." There are differAnt YER
sions of the exact language used and
also of It's real meaning. The Cubans
deny that there was any intention
to Asult the United States. They
insisted that Aguero referred to the
revolutionary period.
Ambassador Fletcher is quoted as
having said after the speech that the
insult consisted in the fact that no
mention was made of the part taken
tion of Cuba. Several members of
the United States delegation imme-
diately sat down and dictated letters
of regret without giving any ex-
PLANTATION for declining the invitation
to the luncheon.
Guaranty of Peace.
Though the conference closed with
out taking any action on the arma-
ment question and without fixing any
date for 2. special meeting to con-
slider it. the agreement reached that

hostile acts pending investigation
and arbitration is looked upon as a
guaranty of peace on the western
hemisphere.
The delegates of the A c nations

position on the subject of armaments
Argentina repeated the charge that
there was a secret understanding be-
tween Chile and Brazil on the arma-
ment question. The Argentine repre-
sentative claimed that his country
had come to the conference prepared
to agree to an actual reduction OF
armament that 1t had not purchased
any cannon since 1911, that 1t wanted
peace, industry and education, and
that 1t had two school teachers for

PRESIDENT TORUN
AS DRY" IN 1924
Recent Actions Have Lined
Mr.. Harding Definitely
Against "Wets."
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

President Harding will enter his
campaign for denomination and re-
election 100 per cent dry.
Evidence of the complete swing of
the President to the dry" side of the
prohibition controversy as II may af
feet his own political fortunes or
those of the national republican party
has been accumulating, but not until
this week was convincing proof given
Of the Presidents leanings.
When the Supreme Court OF the
United States decided that American
ships could sell liQour outside the
three-mile limit until a law Of Con-
gress prohibits 1t. the chief executive
had II in his power to revoke the in
structions given originally to the
United States Shipping Board to cease
selling liquor. His first orders were
issued when the legal phases of the
matter were in doubt. and it was
natural for the President TO stop the
practice until a decision had been
reached
Now. however. the decision has been
made. 1t Is lawful to sell liquor out
side the three-mile limit. Congress
can act, but hasn't At least eight
months must elapse before the law
making branch of the government Is
! in session again and il might take
even longer than that to get action
on any bill to prohibit the sale of
! liquor on government ships. for this
kind of a measure would not be pass
ed without considerable debate espe-
cially on the economic disadvantages
of putting American ships on an un-
equal basis with vessels flying for
eign flags.
Keeps L. s. ships Dry.
The President made UP his mind to
keep the American ships dry" Just
, what actuated him in his decision Is
! not. of course, being publicly ex-
plained. but it was the first case in
which MIR. Harding could have grant
/ ed the 'wets" a point if he had dis

versy itself and take the position that

! and that il is his duty to carry out
the spirit as we'll as the letter of the
