 Wellington Koo, former Chinese minister fot foreign affairs wrote from Peking 10 say. nations ought 10 be allowed freedom of develop ment each to contribute it's share toward human progress"
 W. Mckenzie King, prime minister of Canada, wrote: An organization which seeks to render enduring the spirit of amity between nations de- serves the cordial support at all times of men of goodwill of all countries"
 Dr. William P. Merrill, D. D., New York, president of the world Ali ance for International Friendship through the Churches, which spon- sors the congress, asserted the in tlucnce of the church will supply the oil to lubricate international good comradeship."
 Governor Alfred F.

 Years, Leaders Say

Geneva. Nov. 10 (UP)-European disarmament is going to require d system of progressive conferences lasting from 20 to 50 years, com potent league of nations circles are convinced as they prepare for a meeting of the leagues prepara- tory commission on November 30.
 A couple of years ago it was hoped that disarmament could be effected by this time The work has been under way for many months now. It has demonstrated only, ex- perts here say, the complcXity Of the problem.
 League of nations observers are looking forward to a long series Of disarmament conferences, each one launching a new convention, and each one taking Europe and the world one step nearer to the goal reduction Of armamentS almost 10 nominal scale.
 This conclusion has been forced on league men by nearly eight years of studying the problem - eight years in which the failure Of repeated efforts to attain immedi- ate disarmament has been obvious. | League experts believe now they are on the right track. and during the next year they hope to attain the first definite success-an agree ment by nations to limit their mili- tary, naval and aerial strength to it's present proportions.
 These proportions, statesmen say, : are far above those on whose great strength the outbreak of the world war was blamed.

WE WANT DEAD
 BANDITS" SLOGAN
Texas Bankers Offering S5,00O
 a Head for Them

Dallas, Tex, Nov. 10-lPl-A re- ward of s5,000 is set on the heads of dead bank robbers In Texas in a determined effort to check wave of banditry that has cost score of banks thousands of dollars in re- cent weeks.
 We want dead bandits and no other kind" reads the declaration of war on lawlessness, issued by the Texas Bankers association.
 Killing a few robbers Is the only effective way 10 stop bank robberies in Texas, in the opinion of officials of the association" asserted William A. Philpott Jr,, secretary. Until fur ther notice the association will pay 5000 for each person shot down in the act Of robbing one of our banks"
 Posting Of the reward announce ment was hastencd by the robbery yesterday of the First State Bank of Bangs. in Brown county. where four unmasked men obtained approxi- mately s9,000. A half dozen banks were robbed in the e,ate last week.
 "The average bank robber is a coward, and is moved to attack banks because he knows they are unprotected" said Mir. Philpott. If he knows there is a price for his dead body he will be more cautious, we believe"
 Bankers recalled that the state of Illinois placed d similar but smaller reward on bandits at one time and 1t proved effective.

LaudS Reform Movements in
 Rochester and Buffalo

New Yorfk, Nov. 10 UP)-Paths ctxend from New York across the United States to Kansas City. pr. Luther Gulick, Columb bia University and director of the National Insti- ute of Public Administration, told the governmental research confer ence which is holding a three day meeting here.
 Exa amples of "debauchery in gov ernment" are on exhibit in New York state. Indianapolis. Chicago and Kansas City. Dr. Gulick said.
 On the encouraging side of poiti- cal activities are the reforms and present good governments in the cities of Rochester, N. r., and Buffalo. N. Y, and Cincinnati, he said.
 Indianapolis has blackened the front pages of our press with its story" pr. Gulick said.
 "The New York secretary Of state is charged with disgraceful pin money speculations.
 I am not sure what is the proper attitude to take toward a regime which is systematically corrupting and disintegrating what little ad- ministrative efficiency Chicago has ever had. The cry. Burn the books" arouses in our blood mem ories of martyrs and inquisitions, of wars for liberty. but it diverts atten- ton from the political manipulation of taxes, assessments. building in spections, enforcement of laws and the protection of citizens.'
 Even "Young Tammany of Gov Alfred E. Smith and Mayor James J. Walker" was characterized by the professor as still tiger and and not "a peroxide blonde.' But he added that New York for the first time in it's history came to regard slight of hand budget" as unethical.
 "Prohibition enforcement has con tinued to debauch police administra- tion in scores of cities where the Volstead act is regarded as ai alien imposition" he said,
 "The oil leases have at least been given their true color. Some DOT traits which have been done in oil by the federal courts will long haAg in the hall of shame. Is it possible the crime wave has engulfed our public life?"

TRADING LIGHTER
IN BOND MARKET
Changes of Price of Less I'M
portance Today Than They
Have Been for Weeks.
BY CHARLES F. sPEARE.

SpeC!al OlspatcE 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK. April 26.-The volume
of tr 4g in bonds today was smallest
and the change in prices of less i'm
portance than for several weeks.
Liquidation which resulted from thl
japanese banking crisis and the Mis-
sissippi flood was not so much in evi
dence, although quotations for bondt
affected by these two situations vert
irregular.
The continued activity in mone1
and the fact that today long-term
loans were made freely at 49s pei
cent failed to produce any response ia
the list of high-grade issues.
The speculative members of the
group Of railroads which will suffer
the largest losses from the flood were
quieter but easy. Pools that had been
operating in them have temporarily
abandoned them pending more definite
information as to the extent of the In,
fluence on earnings of property dam
age and shrinkage in traffic in the
overflow districts.
s. A. l.. Issues Go Down.
Though not affected by the food
| the Seaboard Air Line consolidated
6s and the Seaboard- Florida first 6s
dropped to new low levels for the
year.
| Japanese government and city bonds
were irregular. On the other hand,
| the public utility issues. which have
had the largest average decline sin6e
| last Thursday, were steadier.
| Quite wide fluctuations occurred in
| Delaware & Hudson convertible 5s
Brooklyn Union Gas convertible 5t2s
| and CRANKY Consolidated rs in sym.
pathy with broad market movements
in all Of the stocks Of these com.
panies.
United States Government issues
were lower. In high-grade rails there
was very little change. The forth.
coming sale of State of North Caro-
| lima highway bonds on a per cent
basis is a notable incident in the
credit history of State which six
years ago first sdd 5 per cent bonds
| in the New York market and has
since offered and disposed Of, mainly
| to Northern investors. more than
S100, 900 900 of star maturities.
This weeks report of the Federal
Reserve Board shows that the banks
in the system hav again been buying
securities. Compared with a year ago
their total investments have risen
| $2S8,000, 900.
Compiling New Issues.
The compilation of the Financial
Chronicle" of new issues Of bonds in
the first quarter of 1927 indicates q
| number of interesting tendencies. The
total amount of new issues in the
three months was slightly over 81
| 500 ,000,00 compared with a little
less than 81 1000. 900, 900 year ago. OF
this amount, $500, 0,O00,0 ,00O or 20 per
cent, represented refunding Gper.
ations. A year ago only 10 pes rent
of the new offerings were OF re-
funding character.
Going further into the situation. 1t
is found that railroad issues have
been so per cent for refunding and
so per cent for new capital purposes,
public utilities; 40 per cent for re-
funding and industrials: 80 per cent
for new capital and only 10 per cent
for refunding.
Foreign issues, including Canadian,
were 1856, ,000, 900 in the first quarter
Of the year, of which 1000 900
were loans to governments. This
compares with $257 200, 900 in the CIR
