WHAT OTHERS THINK

N. Y. Herald Tribune.-Some of
Mr. Davis friends ought to remind
him that the deflation policy of the
Federal Reserve system, which the
blames for all the ills which befall
the farmer, was not entirely Re
publican shame. Mr.. Davis himself
gives as the date upon which this
policy was initiated June 80, 1920.
1t really started earlier than that.
But even on June 80, 1920, the Fed
eral Reserve Board was exactly 100
per cent the creation of Southern
Democrat appointed by President
Wilson. 1t was presided over by w.
P. G. Harding Southern Democrat
appointed by President Wilson and it
included as ex-officio members, Mr.
Wilson's Secretary of the Treasury
and his Comptroller of the Currency.
Christian Science Monitor The
duty of every voter is plain. 1t
should be regarded as a privilege, ra-
Their than as a task, to record this
expression of ones mature judgment
at the polls. The temptation is to
believe that one vote or a half dozen
votes will not change the result. But
the grand totals are made up of
single votes cast. One can speak as
emphatically and as decisively as an
other, and the result, if there is
full and free expression Of the popu-
lar will, can never be forecast.
st. Louis Times-The country
wants constructive administration.
To be constructive the executive and
legislative branches of the Govern
ment must work in harmony. We
must have a Republican President
and a workable Republican Congress
or we shall have a repetition of what
we have had at the two ends of Penn
sylvania avenue in the last year.

COOLIDGE OPENS
 TIMBER SESSION
National Tree-Saving Organiza-
 ton Is Planned
(By Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Methods for eliminating waste in the forest prod ucts industry were considered by the na- tional conference on utilization of forest products today, at the first of two days session at which steps were taken ooking to a permanent organization.
 The conference, the first of it's kind to be held, was opened by President Coolidge with an addres in which he called for a specific program of timber saving and warned that the nation faces timber exhaustion situation which must be met by diminishing waste and increasing the supply.
 From $50 producers, manufacturers and consumers of wood and wood prod ucts, Acting Secretary Gore of the de- partment of agriculture appointed a committee of 24, headed by A. c. Good year of Buffalo, N. Y., which will re- port on a permanent organization to- morrow when the conference is expect ed to take steps looking to a long time program for reducing waste in the in dustry.

COOLIDGE'S PLAN
 LIKELY TO PREVAIL
Baldwin Move May Mean Revision Of Security
 Protocol
IMPORTANT PART
 MAY GO TO BORAH
Differences With Hughes Must Be Settled Before Session
 Is Called
By RAYMOND CHAPTER Haased Wire to Age-Herald)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.- Prospects of a second Wash ington armament conference, proposed last spring by Presi- dent Coolidge, have been ma terially enhanced by the atti- tude of the British govern lment, which has asked the League of Nations council to delay consideration of the se- curity and disarmament proto- col which contemplated hold ing a world conference next summer under league aus pices.,
 Last April, President Coolidge an- nounced in a speech at New York that after the Dawes reparations plan had been put into operation, he would favor calling another armament conference to carry on the work begun at Wash lington in 1921-particularly with re- gard to limitation of competitive arma- ments in aircraft, submarines and land forces.
 Then in September, this plan seemed likely to be frustrated by the action of the League of Nations represen- fatives who drew up a protocol pro- ;yiding for world armament confer ence under it's direction next summer.
 Favored By Borah
 Now the British government has asked the league council which meets at home December 8 to omit cOpsidera- tion of the protocol. With this would 70 an indefinite delay in the league s armament conference project. If the council yields to Premier Baldwin's suggestion, Coolidge may be left free to proceed with his plan.
 Senator Borah, who will be chairman of the senate foreign relations com mittee, is in favor of the United States taking the initiative and calling anoth- CT conference. Borah was one of those responsible for the first Washington conference and it was due to the senti- ment which he stirred up through a number of speeches that Harding acted. Because of his official position, Borah probably would be on the American delegation and would have the duty of seeing that the senate ratified any agreements.
 Differences With Hughes
 Before the proposed conference can take definite shape, however, important differences between Secretary of State Hughes and Borah will have to be adivvfed. The senator wants to go further than the technical question of limiting armament by outlawing war, creating an international court with compulsory Jurisdiction. and recodify- ing international law, bringing it to up to date, Hughes wants to join the nresent world court, and is inclined against such a broad plan as Borah advocates. President Coolidge will be compelled to decide between these two views before he could issue any in- yitatiOns,

PREPARATION PACT
 TO BE PRECEDENT
Cut In Former Enemy'S Obligations Held To Re-
 quire Reciprocity
OWN DEBTORS SLOW,
 TO BE PARIS PLEA
Capital To Be Made Of Fact That Americans Engi-
 neered Plan

PARIS, Nov. 19.-Discus- sion of an interallied debt con- ference to consider the settle ment of wartime obligations is buzzing behind the doors of the Quai D'Orsay, and it has been semi-officially announced there that the United States would be expected to partici- pate in the projected meeting and to agree to a reduction of the French debt.
 With the American elections out Of the way and the Dawes plan for Euro pean rehabilitation safely launched and apparently seaworthy, France considers the time has come, or at least is coming soon, when the United States will listen to a proposal that some of the money loaned during the war shall remain in France forever.
 Done With Sentiment
 France has done with pleas for debt cancellation or reduction for sentimental reasons, such as the exploits of La
 
 It is now possible, it is believed at the Ouai D'Orsay, to negotiate a business like debt reducing and funding scheme without recourse to sentime -gr- ments. France hopes to see '.1terenca convened to that end at yet unEpt1i- fled date, following the adjoulf mert ot the conference of allied fina' @ minis ters, soon to convene in Par'S.
 ur.. -oux est croafRg A.f +ha Dawes plan, whereunder France asrred to reduce German reparations un,Sa- tions from approximately 6S o0o ,O00,U00 gold marks to 20,O0O,000et@, will bs instanced to the United States ss a worthy precedent for reduction of the French debt.
 Can't Collect Own Debts
 French statesmen plan to explain that France owes 30,OO0, ,0O,000 goI0 marks to the allies, other ;1nntries owe France 13OOO,000,00O gold marks, 5Ut the difficulty of recovering that sum Wi. be stressed, and the United States will be asked to take account of that -6iffi- culty. -
 Capital is to be made of the fact that the Dawes plan was largely con ceived and made operative by Amerl" cans and that France would not other- wise have reduced the German repara- tions obligations.
 It is semi-officially stated at the Quai D'Orsay that United States par ticipation in the projected conference IS vital to it's success. and there is no ef- fort made to disguise the French lnten- ton to ask debt reduction. England as we'll as the United States will be re- Quested to forego some of the capital ad- yanced to France during the war.
 In diplomatic circles the debt state ment from the Quai D'Orsay is believed to be designated to prepare public opinion for the more formal efforts to summon a debt conference, which prob ably will not be long delayed.
 Effective discussion of the problem was impossible until after the Dawes plan and the American elections had got out of the way. It is significant of the French confidence ill their case that no time has been lost.

 HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Nov. 19.-A career as picturesque as the history of the motion picture industry itself has been ended. :.
 Hollywood mourns Thomas H. Ince, film director and producer, who died Wednesday at his home in Beverly Hills. Studios slacked work as news of Inces death spread, and through out the day hundreds found their way to the sumptuous house at the mouth of Benedict canyon where Mrs. Ince and her three sons had been weighted with their sudden sorrow. That same family group had celebrated 1nce's forty-second birthday last Sunday.
 The famous producer was stricken with heart disease Tuesday night while returning from San Diego. He died soon after a special train and automo- bile had rushed him here.
 Movie Pioneer
 One of those who saw the future in the moving picture industry when it was generally regarded as tempo rary novelty, Ince struggled through to success after years of Encouragement. As a foundation for his screen work Ince began. an acting career at the age of 15, when he appeared with Leo Dietrichstein. Stock company exper- fence followed. He toured Al weeks in 'IZaza" and 20 weeks with William Morris in "when We Were Twenty one."
 On October 10, 1907, when 1nce was playing in For Loves Sweet Sake, he was married to ElinOr Kershaw, who was then playing in "A Night on a House Boat" at the same theater:.
 The old Imp studios saw 1nce in his first acting role before the camera. A comedy part for Biograph net ted him $15 day and he was brought back to the Imp lot as a direc- tor when Mary Pickford was in the company.
 Becomes Producer
 In the summer of 1911 the New York Motion Picture corporation came to California. The first picture was The New Cook" Then Ince made "War on the plains" and jumped into prominence with Clusters Last Fight, ',The Battle of Gettysburg" and "The Wrath of the Gods"
 Some of the present 'leadifG stars owe their success to tie genipf of Tom Ince's gniding hand. Charles Ray, Dorothy Dalton, William <. Hart, Doris May, DoIgles Mclean and Madge Bel lamy give Ince credit for leading them to the tcp levels If ,heir calling.

SENATE PRECEDENT
 MAY SEAT STICK
BrOokhart Should Be Unseated
 Under Rule, Shoot Says

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Senator Shoot, republican, Utah, said today that if the senate committee on privileges and elections adhered to the precedent established in the contest which seated Senator King, democratic, Utah. 1t would decide in favor of Daniel F. Steck, democrat, who is contesting the election of Senator Brookhart, repub- lican, Iowa.
 The same principle, Senator Shoot said, is involved in the Iowa contest that came up in the Utah contest. The committee decided in the latter case, he said, that the question to consider was the intent of the voters rather than the law. A number of Stocks ballots, he added, were thrown out in Iowa because the voters had marked arrows on the ballots, and the official count gave the election to Brookhart by several hundred votes.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-No condi- tion exists today which calls for urgent legislative action by congress with re- spect to the railroads, declared the Association of Railway Executives at the annual meeting here today.

CARDINAL LOGUE, IRISH PRIVATE, DIES SUDDENLY
Veteran Churchman Tried To Avert Civil
 War
(By Associated Press.)

BELFAST, Nov. 19.-Cardinal Logue. primate of Ireland, died at 6 o'clock this morning. There had been no previous intimation of the Cardinals illness and the news of his demise caused great shock throughout Ire land. The primate died at his residence, Ara Coeli," in Armagh.
 Cardinal Michael Logue, venerable Archbishop of Armagh and Primate Of all Ireland, "the successor of St. Pat rick" strove for Irish tranquility and peace. The guerrilla tactics of Sim Fein sympathizers and the reprisals of the Black and Tans filled him with horror and evoked strong pastoral let ters denouncing the crimes which, in 1920, brought Ireland to the verge of civil war.
 Visited America
 Cardinal Logue was physically small, with grey hair, ruddy face and blue eyes and was vigorous and energetic despite his eighty years. The Cardinal 1908, at the time of the centenary celebration of the founding of the Roman Catholic archdiocese of New York
 At the outbreak of the World war, Cardinal Logue said Irishmen would stand by England" but later blamed the government for the politicai unrest in Ireland.
 Born at Kilmacreman, Ireland, UG October l, 1S40, he studied at Maynooth and Durboyne and upon graduation showed such scholarship that he was appointed, although not yet priest, to the professorship of theology and beles letters in the Irish College, Paris. Ordained in 1866, he returned to his native diocese of Raphoe in 1874 and was made q doctor or divinity. Two years later he became dean of May nooth and professor of Gaelic. which position he exchanged in 1878 for the chair of dogmatic and moral theology.
 At Age Of SS
 July 20, 1879,, at the age of 39, he was consecrated Bishop of Raphoe and for eight years labored among the peo- pie of Donegal, who at that time were impoverished by failure of the crops. In one year he collected for the relief of the people of his diocese nearly $150,000 and in 1887 the parish priests of Armagh chose him as coadjutor to their venerable Primate, position to which he soon after succeeded, Pope Leo XIII, in 1893, elevating him to the Cardi- nalate.
 Cardinal Logue expressed satisfac- tiOn upon the conclusion of the Anglo Irish treaty in 1921, declaring he thought the settlement terms just. He said at that time and repeated the senti- ment on other occasions: II should like to see unity and no division of the country, so that all could pull together for the good of Ireland. I should like to see people of Ireland living in peace charity with each other"
