PEACE BOMB
THROWN INTO
GENEVA MEET
Proposal Of Soviet Delegation
Causes Sensation at
Conference
WOULD SCRAP WARShIP6
Suggests Destruction Of All
Other Material Forms OF
Armament
WOULD SCRAP WARsHIPs

Geneva, Switzerland, Nov. 30.-&
R-Soviet Russia today threw .
peace bomb" into tho opening oes.
sion pf the preparatory disarma.
ment commission by proposing
complete abolition Of Ill tand. ma
rine and air forces.
Admitting that the soviet project
was . radical suggestion, Maxim
Litvinoff, chief of the soviet dele.
cation, called for the dissolution Of
all land, sea and air forces and the
non-admittance Of their existence in
any concealed form.
The proposal caused = sensation
at the conference.
Other Suggestions
The Russian delegate submitted
as the other points Of that project
that all weapons and military sup
plies, means for chemical warfare
and all other material forms Of
armament be destroyed, that al
warships, military and eircraft, -ba
scrapped and that the system %
calling up citizens for military
training be discontinued.
The soviet delegation introduced
= resolution calling for the immed-
late working out in dealt Of draft
convention for complete general
disarmament on principles submit
ted BY them. The resolution also
provided for the convocation Of I
disarmament conference mot later
than March, 1928.
Scrapping Of all warships and the
destruction Of all fortresses, If &C.
cepted by the powers, would b car
ried out in = period Of from one to
four years.
Only MsanA Of Security
"Armed force il = weapon in the
hands Of the great powers, for the
oppression Of peoples in small and
colonial countries, and the complete
abolition Of armaments is at pres-
ent the only real means Of guaran-
teeing security and affording Z
guarantee against the outbreak Of
war;" was one. Of the striking
phrases in the soviet resolution.
Another striking phrases was
that the existence of armaments
and their tendency to growth, ''by
their very nature, inevitably lead
to armed conflicts between nations,
dive-ting the workers and peasants
from peaceful productive labor and
bringing in = train Of disasters"
AS the Russians desired . draft
convention framed immediately,
they did not favor waiting for addi-
tional international security.
Difference Is in Method
After introduction Of the Russian
resolution, the forenoon session Of
the commission adjourned, but not
before DR.. ]. ]. Louden Of Holland.
who presided, had declared that it
was clear that the difference be-
tween the Russian viewpoint and
that of the other nations was not
in its aim, but in its method.
The delegates to the conference
left the conference hall in earnest
discussion Of the soviet plan, which
one called q "peace bomb" An
other remarked that the scheme
goes further than the project for
the outlawing Of war which Senator
Borah and other Americans have
been advocating. s
The delegates also attached i'm.
portance to one Of Litvinoffs SUBJ
sequent utterances that II the soviet
scheme were found too revolution.
ary, the Russians would be ready to
participate in any more modest plan
OF disarmament.

WEST. WANTS
SQUARE DEAL,
S0LON SAYS
Claims No Hatred Exists
Among Western Farmers
For Industrial East
CANNOT WAIT FOREVER
Eastern Prosperity Will Sag
Unless Buying Power of
Middlewest Increases

Philadelphia, Nov. 3O.-(AP)-
Sounding warning against a con-
tinuance Of the sectional disparity
of the east and west lest the whole
United States become economically
imperiled, Senator Arthur Cappcr
of Kansas, in an address here to-
day, extended q plea for congress
sional alleviation of the ills Of the
agricultural western region, He
spoke at lunchen Of the Chamber
Of commerce.
''There are two methods Of relief
for the present conditions" Senator
Capper said. EITHER lower the
tariff on what the farmer buys, or
extend the aid of the government in
disposing of our surplus farm prod
ucts abroad so that the excess will
not disastrously depress the home
market"
There is no hatred among the
farmers of the west against The in
dustrial east, the senator asserted.
Rather, he said, the west wants a
square deal" from congress in the
way of bringing The country to IAN
economic level. either up or down.
Wants Level Raised
"Thc west wants to raise its level
to that Of the prosperous east. It
has no desire to depress the busi-
ness Of the east.
"The west has waited as patient
ly as possible for the same degree
of legislative assistance and relief
that the government nearly always
has extended to the industrial east
But the west cannot wait forever. !"
The speaker claimed eastern i'm
dustry must depend on the purchas-
ing power of the west, and xGded:
eastern prosperity will eventual
" sag unless the buying power of
the middlewest is increased through
economic justice to the farm...
Economic Peril Threatens
"Sectiona. misunderstanding and
lack of economic balance brought
about the Civil war; sectional dis
parity in 1927 threatens the position
OF America az the worlds most
favored, most prosperous nation.
United, the east and west stand, but
. divided against each other they are
bound to fall into economic peril,
menacing to both sections.
This country cannot permanent
ly remain half prosperous, half un-.
prosperous, any more than it could
continue half slave, half free"

In addition 10 an ella aborate system of light signals on the two main downtown streets, parking on these thoroughfares is altogether prohi- hited, and trucks will be allowed 10 unload only during specified hours and under police permits. Street car passenger landings have been built in the streets.
 Worcester in some respects is built ike New Britain. There is a small pork in the center of the city, and the main streets hoDnob along sid" fl. with the same result as in New Britain, only on q larger scale.
