TALK REMOVAL
OF z CHURCHES
Plan Discussion on Moving
EdifiCeS From Plaza.

County commissioners today in
dicated that they will confer with
officials OF the Second Presbyterian
and First Baptist churches concern
ing removal of the structures from
the county's block of the war me-
mortal plaza site.
The churches are located at the
south end Of the block bounded by
Vermont. Pennsylvania, Michigan
and Meridian streets, which was
chosen by the county as its contri-
button toward the memorial.
The Rev. Jean S. Miner, pastor
of the Presbyterian church, declared
the church is ready to move when
ever the proper public officials are
ready to proceed with the acquisi-
ton of our church" He said no
offer has been made.
Brodehurst Elsey and Jesse C.
Moore, trustees of the Baptist
church, said although members of
the church were attached to the
present building, there would be no
effort to stand in the way OF the
memorial development and that the
church would be moved. The church
has purchased a site at Forty-sixth
and Meridian streets.
Commissioners said that year
ago when purchase of the church
sites was contemplated, they did not
believe it advisable to place the
county in debt. They said the same
situation is before them now.
The county officials, who all favor
removal of the structures, said they
will discuss the matter with church
officials within a few weeks in an
effort to work out a solution Of the
financial situation.

the conservatives for their condition
and urged defeat of the government
in the forthcoming general cleo
tons.

Popular misunderstanding of the
national defense plans, Davis be-
Iieves, has carried interested per-
sons to attempt to utilize the KEEL
logg anti-war pact and other evil
dences of pacific world opinion in
opposition to national defense
measures.
Secretary Kellogg himself has
said many times" Davis continued,
that the treaty is not aimed
against self-defense. 1t is obvious
that our small army is hot a men
ace to anybody:
People Don't Want War
at is absurd to call it a mani
festation of militarism. MilitariSm
can not exist unless there is men
acing, striking power capable of be-
ing projected at the will of an in
dividual or group of individuals.
1.-THE fundamental conception OF
our national defense plan is con-
trary to this. The small regular
army would be unable to invade any
country, although it could act de-
| fenSively. In an emergency the
country would depend upon the
national guard and the civilian
population"
In Davis opinion it would be inn
possible to rally the people Of the
United States to an offensive wal
and it would be equally impossible
to carry on such a war without OBJ
tanning civil support.
Correct Housing Situation
at think" he said, "the army
never has been in better condition
This is largely due to improvements
designed to better morale. We in
creased the daily ration allowance
and we have changed the uniform
We are correcting the housing situa-
ton.
Some of the men were CHARTERED
in pig sites and they didn't like it
Our reports shows that re-enliSt-
ments increased at various posts as
soon as foundations were laid fol
new quarters.
These things largely were fol
benefit of enlisted men. The next
important thing is to remedy the
system of promotion among Of
f1cers. When that is accomplished
I will think my time here has not
been in vain"

told countrywide radio audience last
night, in broadcast sponsored by the

ton of eight women to Congress from

Nowadays the same test is applied to
women candidates and applicants as
is applied TO men,"

both political parties have reacted to
the growing sentiment for women's
participation in the Government. OF
the eight women Representatives, Mr..
SIemp pointed out, five are from Re-
publican districts and the others from
Democratic districts, in such widely
separated States as California, Florida,
Illinois. Massachusetts,, New York and
Kentucky.
This tendency is further illustrated.
the speaker said, by the increasing
number of women who fill a wide
variety Of responsible positions in all
departments of the Government.

on the subject broadcast by the Ma
tional Womans Party over a Nation

months of hard work.
The council will offer this bill
through senator yet to be selected
1t contains portions of the bill writ
ten by the senate subcommittee,
composed of Senators Walsh, of Mon
tana, Blaine and Norris. But it aban-
dons completely the original Ship
stead bill.
Instead of defining property, the
new bill, not yet made public, defines
labor's right to organize and function
and restricts equity judges from us
ing the Sherman and Clayton acts as
authority for restraining orders. La
Dor, it is declared here, will be where
it was before those two acts became
law, if the new bill is passed. The
normal and lawful functions of trade
unions will no longer be subjected to
treatment as conspiracies by injunc-
ton judges.
1t is reported here that support of
considerable number of progressive
senators already is assured for the
measure which easily takes the lead
as labor's greatest legislative issue.
