CORRUPT CAPITAL
ASSA|LED BY REED
Missouri Senator BIames
Concentration of Authority,
in Tennessee Address.


JOHNSON CITY, Tenn, June 18.-
Appealing for return to the old-time
fundamentals of government, Senator
Reed, Democrat, Missouri, declared
today, in a speech before the Tennes-
see Bar Association, that the time had
come when the patriotic people of the
country should rise up and drive out
the Teprosy of corruption" which has
spread throughout the Nations Capt.
tai.
The Missouri Senator, who was
funds investigating committee, charged
that not one-tenth of the corruption
had been exposed. He also declared
that, unless the soul of America was
to be destroyed, the corrupt use of
money in elections must be stopped.
Responsibility for the conditions
was laid at the door of concentration
of authority in the Federal Govern
ment, which, he said, invariably
brings in it's wake the twin evils. in
competency and corruption"
Assals Child Labor Act.
Indeed, it has already proceeded
so far that there is scarcely an activ.
ity of life, from the rearing of babies
to the massing Of armies, which Is
not now in some degree subject to the
surveillance of Government officers,
agents, spies and courts" he con.
tinued. "If the march toward GEN.
tralization be not soon arrested, State
governments might as well cease to
exist, for all authority will have been
assumed by the Federal agencies and
tribunals"
He assailed the pending child labor
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
tion as an effort to supplant the $50
cialis mof Lenin and Trotsky for the
democracy Of Washington and Jeffer-
son." ...s.
He claimed that another phase of
corruption was great money prizes
for the favorites of the Government"
I'VE passed law to tax all the peo.
pie for the benefit of certain favored
manufacturers" he added. "In turn
these manufacturers were told that
they must periodically submit to the
process Of having the fat fried out Of
them in the form Of political contri-
buttons. To this end they responded
with enthusiastic alacrity. They were
willing to buy any government so long
c1o titC pun pkAIC ICpICSCHIEu d
small portion of the profits they were
to receive.
Says Corruption Spreads.
"In every such instance the leprosy
Of corruption has spread itself through.
out the Capital of the Nation. No
man Of good Judgment proposes to
make war upon honestly acquired
wealth, but If this Government is to
be perpetuated, it must be a Govern
ment of men and not Government
Of money.
UNLESS the purity Of the ballot is
protected, unless we turn back to the
old principles Of Government, the lib.
critics of the American people soon
will be as a tale that is told,' a glori-
Gus picture vanishing in the mist Of
time"

JAPAN TO SEEK BROAD PACT.
Wants Adequate Protection Assured,
Delegate Says.

GENEVA, June 1S P).-Simultane-
ously with the declaration of Adrairal
Kobayashi, one of Japan's chief dele
gates, that his country's program at
the naval conference opening at Ge-
fieva Monday does not embrace the
questions of the Observation-Disclosures OF
the Panama Canal or reduction in the
strength of the naval bases at Hawaii
and Singapore, Hugh S. Gibson,
American delegate, asserted that the
United States would not introduce any
startling suggestion.
| The general understanding on the
eve Of the parley, called at the lnVi-
tation of President Coolidge, is that
the American delegation is not anxious
! for any bombs" from either the Brit
| ish or Japanese, such as an attempt to
reduce the tonnage of battleships or
cruisers, to internationaliZe the Pan
anna Canal or to establish restrictions
on the Hawaii Naval Base. 1t Is be-
lieved that Mr.. Gibson, in his opening
address, will outline definite plan of
warship limitation as conceived by the
United States.
Seeks adequate" Tonnage.
Admiral Kolayashi, whose declara.
tion was made to the Associated Fress,
emphasized that he and his fellow dele
gates would restrict their efforts TO Sc
curing an agreement on warshirS not
covered by the Washington treaty;
that his country was attending the
conference in a spirit of conciliation,
hoping fair agreement would be ar
rived at, and that the island kingdom
merely wanted a total tonnage of war
ships that would assure adequate pro.
lection. Thus, the japanese delegates
would be more concerned with the
quantity of siZable ships than to the
ratio question.
He voiced the pleasure of his coun-
trymen over the decision of the United
States not TO augment the American
Far Eastern fortifications. While de-
claring the japanese had no idea of re-
questing reductions near the shores of
the United States, he admitted they
were worried over the strength of the
British base at Singapore.
United States Ratio Placed at 2.7.
AS the time draws near for the open
ing of the conference. American cir.
cles are discussing the naval strength
of their country. 1t is stated in these
circles that because of the many old
cruisers, described as worthless in
. modern warfare, the existing FaLlO on
modern cruisers is 5 for Great Brit.
ain. as compared with 81 for the
United States.
The point is made that as this ratio
includes six cruisers which will attain
the 20-year age limit next year, the
actual strength of the United States
IS but ten 7,500-ton cruisers. With
the eight 10,000-ton cruisers either in
the course of construction or contract
ed for, it is declared that the United
States will have modern cruiser
strength of $4,000 tons.
