Disarmament Under
General Control
Fought by America

GENEVA, April 13.-The trouble
some question of international control
of disarmament came up again to-
day before the League of Nations
preparatory disarmament conference,
with the United States delegates an
their opposition to such con-
troll.
No Control.
"The United States is willing to
cooperate in seeking a solution of
this problem" said Hugh Gibson,
American delegate, "but l must state
again that the United States can sign
no convention which does not limit it.
self to pure and simple questions of
disarmament, leaving the execution
of the convention to the good will Of
the signers and their respect for
treaties"
Don't Trust u. S.
In view Of the fact that the United
States is much the richest and poten-
tally powerful nation, in a military
sense, of all those represented at the
conference, causes black looks of sus-
picion on the other delegates faces.
If the United States is to break
promises to disarm, international
control would be badly needed. And
this is just what the us. repre-
sentative specifically objects to.

Economic Chart for
1927 Prepared Here

Redmond & Co., 81 Pine St., New
York City, have just published a con-
else and very informative World
Economic Chart for 1926. Condensed
on sheet Of heavy paper three feet
long are the statistics of finance,
government and national economy of
S8 important countries, including the
Soviet Union. The tabulated infor-
nation for 1926 is not available in
any other form yet, so far as Wall
prol knows.
Accompanying the chart is a bro
chure outlining the Redmond firms
purpose in publishing the chart. 1.-THE
United States" it is remarked, "has
become the worlds largest exporter
of capital and as such has contributed
materially to the economic rehabilita-
ton which has succeeded the chaos
of the early postwar years. Export
of additional capital as well as re-
funding of existing foreign debt viii
continue and become of increasing
Importance to us year by year."
America as the main prop of tot
tering capitalism in the past few
years and the mainstay of the "re-
habilitated" capitalist economy of
western Europe is the reality seen
by the optimistic Redmond people.
Never has the need been so urgent
for American workers, under the
leadership of the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party, to hold back the ruth
less arm Of American capitalism.

During these two decades the ere

Statistical Proof
These are significant figures. Here
is where the gigantic swindle of in
dustrial life insurance is fully ex-
posed. 1t is ON the question of the
increase of assets that every life in
surance official hens and haws.
Ordinary" life insurance COM
pany assets have always increased
in ratio with the increase of their
business. If another hundred mill
ion of insurance went on the books
of an ordinary" company, the in
crease of assets was proportionate.
Not so with the Big Four"-as the
above tell-tale figures show.
Expert Gives Lie to Big Four
According to William Alexander,
secretary to the Equitable Life In
surance Company, a prolific writer
on insurance matters, "the reserve
represents only the present insur-
ance liability of the company" How
then, do the "Big Four" officials ac-
count for the fact that the figures
Of income over and above total ex-
penditures We're as follows during

panies hold in escrow" more than

win yield, and it does yield, more
than sufficient income, to pay all
claims, whether they be death
claims, matured endowments or cash
surrender values as they come due
each year.
Big Four Steal Two Billion.
From the above statement it is
apparent that the big Four" utilize
the entire premium income for ex-
travagant expenditures and to swell
the already too large reserve"
Figures for the past twenty years
show US that assets double every
five years. Continuing at this rate,
in 1865 unforeseen events being dis
counted for the moment) they will
be over ONE TRILLION DOLLARS.
And that is a lot of money even in
the hands of a Wall Street clique.
If. as Mr.. Alexander contends, the

present insurance liability" (claims
etcl. it would appear logical that the
assets should increase in ratio with
the increase of insurance in force.
But this is not the case.
If a quarter of a billion dollars
vas great enough in 1905 to guar
antee 3 billions of insurance, then,
by the same token, assets in 1925
should be One Billion, Six Hundred
Million. But they were not, they
were THREE BILLION Six Hun
bred Million. More than TWO Bill

quired.
What are the shell-game officials
doing with this colossal sum of
money?
Why do they guard it jealously-
viciously?

the same year 207 millionaires
grabbed $4OO,OOO,OOO of the national

of them could each have thrown in
the total amount given charity in
1925 out of their income for the year.
And that settles the myth about
the generosity of Americas million

REALIZE
VALUE OF TESTING
THEIR DAIRY COWS

On completing the second months
work in testing the production Of dairy
COWS for butterfat and milk many of
the members of the Cow Testing as
sociation are finding that dairy cows,
which they had considered poor pro-
ducers, were their money makers, and
are realizing the value of testing
their dairy herds. At the present time
the association is testing 26 cows, and
9 of this number is producing more
than 40 pounds Of butter fat PEI
month, production that is considered
good.
Cost to members to join the test
ing association is small and will
probably amount to less than 81 per
year per COW. Any farmer or dairy
man interested in joining the associa-
tion should get in touch with F. |.

LOCKHART'S DUDE
WRANGLER" AT CODY

That Cody, Wyoming, should be
the setting for all future western
thrillers of the silver screen and that
the good old long horn of Texas an
cestry should be preferred to any 9th
er variety of cattle, are among the
beliefs of Caroline Lockhart, famous
western authoress, she declared in an
interview with Tribune-Leader re-
porter while stopping in Cheyenne
last week.
Her faith in the country about Cody
as the only proper background for
gentlemen from Hollywood to mount
horseback and save Nell from Chief
Whatsiname and his savage tribe is
well founded she says. Several COM
panies already have produced pictures
there in the last few years and 9TH
ers have the location under considera-
tion.
Picture rights to her latest book,
"The Dude Wrangler," have been sold
to Mrs. Wallace Reid, who, with her
own company, will undertake produc-
ton with Cody as setting in the
latter part Of the summer or early
fall Miss Lockhart says. There is no
other locality, she declares, where an
actor can so we'll display the hair on
his chest and other herman character
istics as the one Mrs. Reid has chosen.
Belief in the superiority Of Texas
longhorns comes, Miss Lockhart says,
from past experiences as president Of
the Cody Stampede.
"Then, too," Caroline Lockhart
says, and her eyes twinkle remin-
iscently, 1--WE had them on the ranch
when | was young and | imagine I ra-
ther got used to them. The white
faced varieties may be all right but
somehow on my ranches | always pre-
fer the longhorns and Tn stocking up
my place with them now"
The above story, which is copied
verbatim from the Cheyenne Tribune,
is of interest to Montana people as
Miss Lockhart is a resident of Car
bon county at the present time. Some
months ago Miss Tockhart n11rchased
two large ranches in the Dry Head
country in the eastern part of this
county and is now making her per-
manent home there although she owns
considerable property and real estate
in Cody where she made her home for
many years.

the best and truest writer of Western
stories and this is the credit given
