become practically invisible" To carry
out that seemingly mere foHmality. the
conference, on Secretary Of State sitim-
sons motion, adopted q resolution refer
ring final details of tonnage agreement
to committee made up Of represent
atives of the i've delegations.
This committee will report back TO
the conference, sitting as committee
Of the whole. Then the final seal of
approval will be set upon the agreement.
There will be no more plenary sessions,
ike today's, until the tonnage commit
teemen formulate their findings.
This was Ambassador Hugh Gibson's
DAY at the conference as far as the
American delegation was concerned. AS
soon as Secretary Stin1Son submitted
the resolution to refer the tonnage ques-
ton to committee, he presented his
colleague, who bore the brunt Of Amer
lean representation at previous confer
ences in Europe.
Gibson Has TwofoId Task.
Ambassador Gibson'S task was two
fold. He first had to review the his
tory ofsall preceding negotiations, then
defend the American thesis that the
maximum of beneflt in the field of lin
station lies In applying the categorical
system.
Premier Tardieu of France, who fol-
lowed him as q speaker, paid tribute
to the clarity and the fairness of Am
bassador GibSon's presentation, eSpe-
cially the manner wherein the AM
baSSador outlined the transfer COM
promise, first suggested by Paul Bon
cour on behalf of France at the Ge-
neva conference. Gibson declared as
q prime necessity for naval peace ac-
curate knowledge on the part of every
power as to what particular kind of
warships other countries have in COM
mission.
Its fear of the known" he said.
which engenders diStrust. Ignorance
on that score introduces the factor of
tension instead of one of security and
confidence. The United States con-
sistently has held that limitation by
categortes Is better calculated than any
other method to reduce international
competition and remove the feeling of
d1strust and suspicion that inevitably
are attendant upon such competition. -
Outlines Transfer Points.
Gibson's Statesmanlike presentation
Of the American case can be described
as the outstanding feature of the ses-
sion. One of his strongest points con-
cerned the necessity for providing that
the transfer system shouldn't permit
any government to pile up excessive
tonnage in some class of warship which
would give It q dangerous preponder-
ance in naval strength, thus undermine
ing the whole purpose Of limitation.
Premier Tardieu thereupon gave the

impressed. 1t would prefer limitation
by ratios in categories. Italy is vigor-
ously and excitedly opposed to 1t, be-
cause it seems to preclude realization Of
Italy's cherished idea Of parity with
Fra.lce.
What Italians Want.
Apparently the British and Italians
held numerous talks yesterday on this
point, the Italians doing their best to
win Great Britain's support against the
alleged American plan. The Italians
want to take the maximum global ton
mage as basis of discussion-that is to
say, the American or British total tom
mage, and then force the Washington
or similar ratios on reluctant powers like
Japan and France. and thus get parity
with France on basis they can afford
to build up to.
It is believed that some members Of
the British admiralty favor this line Of
approach. Furthermore, the British by
no means have abandoned their idea of
getting battleshipS reduced or abolished
at this conference, whereas the Ameri-
can plan provides merely for postpone
ment OF requirements.
From all the foregoing, it will be evil
dent that much hard work for the con-
ference still lies ahead.

1t will be noticed from the above
that Pennsylvania is the only state
which does not have a state flower.
Curiously enough. it was the Keystone
state which led all the others in the
total number Of votes cast in the re-
cent referendum. Pennsylvania total
was 111,256 votes. Ohio was second
with 78,64S, New York third with 63,-
835 and Wisconsin fourth with 59,779.
An analysis Of vote by states in rela-
ton to state flowers reveals some in
teresting facts. Since the columbine is
the state flower of Colorado, it was
natural to expect that Colorado should
give more votes to that flower than to
any other. And it did, although it
gave only TOT more votes to the COL
umbine than to the wild rose. Four
teen other states gave more votes to
the Colorado state flower than did
that state itself, Washington support
ing it more vigorously than any other.
with 35,066 votes.
The votes by states for the rose,
the winner, and the three leading col
tenders was as follows:

The violet is the state flower. of Illi-
nois, New Jersey, Rhode Island and
Wisconsin. Yet both Illinois and New
Jersey gave more votes to both the
wild rose and the columbine than they
did to their own state flower. Both
Rhode Island and Wisconsin gave
more votes to the wild rose than to
the violet. but both placed the column
bine third in the running. A similar
situation is shown in Nebraska and
North Carolina where the goldenrod is
the state flower. Both states voted for
the wild rose over their state flower.
In Nebraska. the goldenrod was Sec
ond with the columbine third and the
violet fourth. But in North Carolina
the state flower was placed third, beat
ing out only the violet.
Another interesting development
was the failure of the phlox, a leading
contender early in the campaign, to
make good race for the honors, es-
pecially when it apparently had so
many points in its favor, .one of its
strongest supporters was Dr.. Edgar
T, Wherry, a well-known government

YOU HAVE A DOCTORS
WORD FOR THIS
LAXATIVE

In 1875, an earnest young man
began to practice medicine. AS a
family doctor, he saw the harm in
harsh purgatives for constipation
and began to search for something
harmless to the sensitive bowels.
Out of his experience was born
a famous prescription. He wrote it
thousands of times. 1t proved an
ideal laxative for old and young:
AS people saw how marvelously the
most sluggish bowels are started
and bad breath, headaches, fever
ishness, nausea, gas, poor appetite,
and such disorders, are relieved by
the prescription, it became neces-
sary to put it up ready for use.
Today, DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, as it is called, is the worlds
most popular laxative. 1t never
varies from DR.. Caldwell's original
effective and harmless formula.
All drugstores have it.

ISSUE
IS FORUM SUBJECT
Senator Bingham to Broad
cast Opposition to Inde-
pendenCe Proposal.

The position of those who oppose the
bill now pending in the Senate on the
subject of Philippine independence will
be outlined to a Nationwide radio au-
dience by Senator Hiram Bingham, Re-
publican, of Connecticut, speaking at
$50 o'clock Thursday night in the Ma
tional Radio Forum, arranged by The
Washington Star and broadcast over
the coast-to-coast network of the Co
lumbia Broadcasting System. The pro-
gram will be broadcast in washington
through Station WMAI4.
Senator Bingham is chairman Of the
Senate committee on Territories and
insular affairs and is one of the mem
bers of that committee who joined In
filing a dissenting report on the pend
ing bill, partially on the ground that
the Filipinos are not yet prepared for
immediate or early independence and
that to grant it at this time would be
doing them an injury rather than a
kindness.
Senator Harry B. Hawes, Democrat,
OF Missouri, who filed the report in IA
vor OF the measure when 1t was re-
ported to the Senate, presented the
arguments in support Of the bill in the
National Radio Forum three weeks ago.
Senator Bingham is close student
of insular affairs and before coming to

reer as an explorer and professor at
several institutions of learning, includ-
ing Harvard, Princeton and Yale. When
this country entered the World War
Senator Bingham learned to fly and
took an active part in directing Ameri-
cas- aviation forces. Since coming to
the Senate he has been active in
handling legislation to further the de-
velopment of American aviation, in ad-
dition to his work on Territories and
insular affairs.

ate for consideration there. The pre-

day or Monday was contingent upon

turns the pending measure to Congress.
The caucus last night followed q
sharply worded statement on the legis-
iation by Mr.. Hoover yesterday morn

Asked after the caucus if the Presi-
dent might veto the substitute plan,
Speaker Longworth replied that "he
won't" adding that it met every OBJ
lection by the President.
The statement issued from the eau
Gus read:
THE Republican members of the
House met in conference this evening
IN oroer TO prepare plans to assure the
enactment OF a satisfactory veteran bill
during the present session of Congress.
The conference, having considered and
studied the defects and benefits of all
proposed legislation have accepted a bill
whereby all service e-connected disabled
veterans will retain compensation un-
der the existing law and all disabled
veterans failing to show service con-
nections will be generously cared for in
new pension plan carrying the salient
features of the Swick bill:
johnson to Get Floor.
'In the event of a presidential veto
OF the bill, which will take care of only
$4,000 veterans and ignore 10000
equally disabled and needy veterans then
this plan will be Immediately taken up
by the House, Mr.. Speaker Longworth
having agreed that he will immediately
recognize Representative Royal @.
johnson Of South Dakota, chairman of
the veterans committee, for that pur-
pose.
Therefore, the plan is that within an
hour after the presidential veto is sus-
tained-more than sufficient number
having indicated their willingness to
sustain it-this well thought out plan
providing for all disabled veterans will
be considered and passed by the House.
"It was further agreed that there
shall be no adjournment of the Con-
gress until the final enactment of the
veterans legislation.

Mexico, who was recently nominated
by the Republicans for the Senate from
New Jersey, called on President Hoover
today and urged the President to pay a
visit to Mexico City before the Ambas-
sador relinquishes his post there some
time in September.
President Hoover has been contem-
plating q visit to Mexico and several
other places not far distant which he
could not include on his Latin Ameri-
can good will tour in 1923, but has been
unable to find it convenient. Mr.. Nor
row said after his talk with the Presi-
dent that the latter expressed a hope
to be able to visit that country some
time, but was unable to commit himself
at this time
Mr.. Morrow was with the President
for about half an hour. Before calling
at the White House he visited with
Secretary of State Stimson earlier. He
received a call at his hotel from Charles
G. Dawes, Ambassador to London, who
Is o guest at the White House.
Mr.. Morrow said he expects to start
for Mexico City probably Friday or
Saturday.
This is the first meeting of the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Morrow since the latter's
