COOLIDGE MOVE
FOR CONF ERENCE
MERELY TACTICS
Expect no Disarmament
Powers Too Jealous

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1i-POlitical
observers here, including officials and
diplomats, practically admit that the
Coolidge call for new disarmament
conference is merely a gesture to
force the debtor nations of Europe To
either put aside their weapons and
permit the United States with its sup
erior building capacity and material
resources TO dominate, or to lay on
them the stigma of "militarism" il
they do not disarm.
Don't Expect Disarmament.
Washington opinion is very frankly
divided on whether the conference will
ever produce any naval disarmament.
Anglo British Unity?
The new parley may find the
United States and Great Britain join
ing hands against Japan, France and
Italy. Great Britain, with SO many
colonial possessions to protect, has
laid down huge building program
Of fast, modern cruisers, but she Is
up to her eyes in debt. With a five
five-three ratio, she and the United
States would have combined fleet
at least equal to the balance Of the
world.
Will Keep Subs.
France, unwilling TO yield her army
control, will refuse to relinquish her
overwhelming superiority in suhmar-
ines. Japan may refuse TO abandon
her cruiser-building race with Eng
land. Mussolini's ambition for new
Roman Empire is seen as another
possible obstacle.

Junior College Bill
Casualty of Session

AUSTIN, Tex. Mar. lS.-The first
bill casualty of the regular session
Of the Legislature was disclosed
Thursday when IL became known that
Senate Bill No. 30 providing for the
creation Of junior colleges was lost
in the shuttle IN some unaccountable
manner.
Senators Floyd and Wcstbrook
were authors OF the measure. SEN
ator Floyd. who was ia Austin Thurs
day, said that the bill became lost in
some way and that it Is dead. As a
result there is no authority in law
for the creation Of junior college
di tricts to vote bonds and taxes for
the support of such colleges.
A trace Of the records was made
by Senator Floyd. He reports finding
that the conference report on the bill
was adopted bv the Senate. that The
notes of the House Journal clerk rec
ord that il was adopted there But
that the House calendar does not
show adoption nor does the reports
made to the Senate Of House action
on Senate bills. An explanation made
70 Senator Floyd in the House was
that the conference report on the bill
was called up but that no definite
action was ever taken thereon and III
that way the Journal made an error
OF recording IL as adopted.
