vice president would have resigned,
automatically placing the secretary

Arms Reduction Program
Approved By Chamber

OFFERED TO WORLD
Asks United States Help
In Guaranteeing Secur-

BY RALPH HEINZEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, Oct. 20. IU.P)-An elabo-
rate French plan for arms reduc-
ton, vitality affecting the military
strength of all countries and calling
en- the United States 10 join in
guaranteeing the security of ma
tons from attack, was before the
world today.
The French plan, most detailed
yet offered, will be presented for
consideration of the world arms
conference at Geneva, probably
within a week.
It was outlined to the chamber
of deputies by Premier Edouard
IIerriot last night and accepted,
the chamber voting confidence in
Herriot by 430 10 20 before adjourn
ing early today
Under the plan, France offers to
reduce its terms of compulsory mill
tary service from y to nine months
and the number of army divisions
from 20 to II, under the following
six conditions:
l. All armies should be on mill
tia basis and military organizations
such as the German reichSwehr, OIL
regular army should be dissolved,
while interior police forces should
be subject to international rules.
2. International control should
be organized, SO, as to admit the
right of investigation of a country's
forces.
3. To complete the Locarno peace
pactS, regional pacts Of mutual as
sistance should be concluded, pro-
viding for a collective force of suf-
ficient strength to suppress agrees
sion. The force should be COM
posed of national contingent equip
ped with adequately powerful mate
rial.
4. The United States should &C
cord the guarantees of security that
it has already intimated 1T favored
-(presumably through interpreta-
ton of the BRAND Kellogg anti-war
treaty..
S. States which are members OF
the League of Nations should en-

6. Arbitration should be obliga-

'DRYS' DISAGREE
WITH PROPOSALS
TO CHANGE LAW
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Anti-
Saloon league leaders today chall-
enged the FEASIBILITY of settlement
of the prohibition dispute along
lines suggested by Former Cover
nor Alfred E. Smith or by Rep.
James E. Beck, Republican, Penn
sylvania.
Smith suggested amendment Of
the Volstead act to exempt all malt
liquors from its one half OF one
per cent limitation. Beck suggested
congress might settle the federal
prohibition question by simply re-
fusing to appropriate funds for en-
forcement.
There is no possibility of hand
ling the malt question in that man.
ner," DR.. F. Scott Mcbride, Anti
Saloon league superintendent told
the United Press. Perhaps con-
gress could enact such an amend
ment but it would not do so.
1.-The Beck proposal would be
poor craftsmanship. OF course the
vets are not very good sports, but
that kind of thing would react
powerfully against them"
The legal department of the
league cited a more specific argu-
ment in the decision of the United
States supreme court in the So
called national prohibition cases in
1920.
The decision of the court was cit
ed to the effect that the declara-
ton that congress and the states
shall have concurrent enforcement
power does not mean that either
may defeat or thwart enforcement
The Ant-Saloon league argument
is that under that Interpretation OF
the law liberalizing or modification
of the Volstead act would be prac-
tically impossible.
Eminent lawyers have expressed
the opinion that in wire tapping
and search and seizure cases the
supreme court has almost gone out
of its way to uphold prohibition
Former Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes in prohibition decisions has
on occasion used the phrase 1.-THE
will of the people" And several
court decisions may have beer
based on an Interpretation of the
popular will in favor of making tbs
country bone dry"

SUPERVISORS ASK
R0LPH TO OBTAIN
R. F. c. LOAN

Governor James Rolph, Jr., will
be asked to request from the Re
construction Finance Corporation
a loan of $4,000 for the use of the
Imperial county board of supervi-
sors in relief work.
This was the tenor of a resolu-
ton adopted and signed today by
members of the board, following a
meeting yesterday to discuss the
ACCESSIBILITY of seeking such a loan.
1.-THE need in this county for
supplemental relief funds" the res
olution says, sis so great that this
board after full investigation be-
lieves that the governor of the state
should make an application to the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton for additional funds and this
need constitutes a justifiable rea-
son for the depletion of future fed
eral apportionments in aid of the
state for the construction of high
ways and rural post roads"
This has reference to the meth
cd of repayment of the loan over
five year period beginning IN
1885. BY this method the money
will be deducted from federal funds
which otherwise would be given the
state as federal aid in maintenance
of highways and post roads, elm
mating the necessity for the coun-
ty to repay the money by means Of
bond issue or from county rev.
enue.
In setting forth the reason for
the request, the resolution says,
1.-THE funds of this county and the
municipalities therein, including
monies now available and which
can be made available by said coun-
ty and the municipalities therein,
and private contributions, are in
adequate to meet the relief needs
of this county,
Should the federal loan be pro-
cured, the money will be used by
the supervisors in maintenance of
road camps and in creating en-
ployment for needy families.

Coincident with the filing of an

complaint of T. J. Freeman and

injunction to prevent sale OF prop
erty in Westmorland on city
court order, Judge Vaughn N.
Thompson yesterday afternoon is
sued an order modifying a previous
restraining order and continuing
sale of the property for two weeks
from Monday, during which the
injunction suit will be heard
Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman had con-
tended in their complaint that the
property could not be sold to sat-
isfy a city court Judgment because
they had made declaration of
homestead before the Judgment
was returned, and were living on
the property in question. Lester
Cochran, Westmorland constable,
is named with Bellwood in the
complaint.
Bellwood's answer attacked the
homestead declaration as improp-
erly including portion of a lot
on which are two houses, and de-
clared the declaration of home
stead was made with the inten-
ton of hindering and delaying
Bellwood in securing payment
should any judgment be returned
for groceries furnished Mr.. and
Mrs. Freeman.
The answer further denied the
necessity of docketing the S6042

the transcript was filed October A.
