EFFORTS TO SETTLE

RESULT IN FAILURE
Governor Refuses to Meet With
Agitators Unless They

Milwaukee. Wis, May l6.-tF)-Ef-
forts to bring about an immediate
settlement Of Wisconsin's tumultuous
milk strike went glimmering Tuesday
when strike chiefs refused to confer
with Governor A. G. Schmedeman un-
der conditions which the governor
prescribed.
Officials of the Wisconsin coopera-
tive milk pool had made overtures to
the governor, suggesting a meeting.
The governor, in effect, demanded
that the strikers surrender first. He
was willing to meet them provided
they came with a determination to
call off the strike at once and pro-
vided that Walter M. Singler, fiery
president of the milk pool, was not a
member Of the conference committee.
Meanwhile national guard cavalry
men, in the role of civilian deputies,
routed milk strike pickets at Shawano,
where strikers Monday overwhelmed
authorities and closed several dairy
Llants.
Militiamen, 225 of them from Mil
waukee, were added to the force OF
about 800 special deputies about
Shawano.
They carried side arms, riot sticks
and gas bombs. In few hours early
Tuesday they swept the highways
clean. There were two brushes with
farm strikers. About 200 pickets east
Of Shawano were dispersed. Strikers
then assembled near Bonduel, where
tear gas battle was fought Monday
but again were driven away.

however.
AS the strike went into its fourth
day, dairy operators in only eight
counties were under order to refrain
from moving milk. Shortly before
midnight, the ban was lighted In Mil.
waukee, Waukesha, and Green Lake
counties. Five others were freed from

At Cross Purposes
The disarmament conference has
labored for more than a year and,
as yet, has been unable to reach sat-
isfactory conclusions. Confused pur-
poses still clash dangerously. Our
duty lies in the direction of bringing
practical results through concerted
action based upon the greatest good
to the greatest number. Before the
imperative call of this great duty,
petty obstacles must be swept away
and petty aims forgotten. A selfish
victory is always destined to be an
ultimate defeat. The furtherance Of
durable peace for our generation in
every part of the world is the only
goal worthy Of our best efforts.
If we ask what are the reasons for
ornaments, which, in spite Of the les
sons and tragedies OF the world war,
are today greater burden on the
peoples Of the earth than ever before,
it becomes clear that they are two
fold:
First, the desire, disclosed or hid
den, on the part Of governments to
enlarge their territories at the expense
of sister nation. believe that only
a small majority Of governments or Of
peoples harbor such purpose.
Second, the fear Of nations that
they will be invaded. I believe that
the overwhelming majority of peo-
piles feel obliged to retain excessive
ornaments because they fear some
act Of aggression against them and
not because they themselves seek to
be aggressors.
Fear Is Justified
There is justification for this fear.
Modern weapons of offense are vast
ly stronger than modern weapons Of
defense. Frontier forts, trenches,
wire entanglemepts, coast defenses-
in a word, fixed fortifications-are
no longer impregnable to the attack
OF war planes, heavy mobile artillery,
land battleships called tanks. and
poison gas.
II all nations will agree wholly to
eliminate from possession and use
the weapons which make possible q
successful attack, defenses automa-
tically will become impregnable, and
the frontiers end independence Of
every nation will become secure.
The ultimate objective of the dis
armament conference must be the
complete elimination Of all offensive
weapons. The immediate objective is
substantial reduction of some OF
these weapons and the elimination
of many others.
This government believes that the
program for immediate reduction OF
aggressive weapons, now under dis
cussion at Geneva, is but first step
toward our ultimate goal. We de-
not believe that the proposed i'm
mediate steps 60 far enough. Never
theless, this government welcomes
