The British were considering
whether they should make new pro-

until after further discussions with

The japanese, appearing just as
pessimistic as the other delegates

Permanent Body Proposed.

Wilson's suggestion would create a
permanent disarmament commission
at Geneva.
The commission would be given
automatic powers to investigate pri-
vate or public manufacture and sale
of arms and to keep the world regu-
larly informed as to what was 60
ing on behind the scenes.
All arrns-rifles, machine guns,
grenades, bombs, torpedoes, mines
warships, airplanes and ammunition
come within the scope of the Ameri-
can proposal.
Under the American plan to control
munitions trade all manufacturers OF
such articles would be licensed by
each government for five-year periods
The makers would not be allowed to
have reserve stocks and would be re-
quired to have bona fide order before
any license would be granted.
All data on manufacture or sale OF
arms or munitions would be turned
over to a central committee in Geneva
which would make the information a
matter of public record. A perma-
nent commission would be empowered
to investigate any transactions in
volving the sale of arms or munitions

assurances of support from Great

NUMBERS DRIVE

Racketeers Getting Out Of
City, Says Head of Police
Investigations.

Lieut.. George Little, head Of the
Police Departments special investi-
cations squad, announced himself
today as "gratified over the cam
paign waged by The Star against
the numbers racketeers." The rack
eteers. he said, ARE getting out of
the game and. best of all, out of
the city"
Asked how many Of the racketeers
have actually left the city, Lieut.
Little said he has no means of
knowing. since his information comes
mostly through the grapevine route. "
ITO my actual knowledge" he said,
two Of the big shots in the num-
bers game have pulled up stakes
and gone away.
Others Expected to Go.
"I have heard that others are get
ting ready TO leave and that some
have left, but ! could not say how
many. OF the two gone, I am GER
tain. And. believe me, that Is good
riddance.'
Lieut.. Little, whose knowledge of
the underworld is equalled by no
man on the force, claims that the
most pernicious form of gambling
in this city is the numbers game.
1T is hooked up with the race
horse game" he said Most of these

horse business has fallen down So.

bers racket.
Racket to Die Naturally.
Now that The Star, the Post,
the Herald and the Times, along with
the three radio stations. have joined
in the attempt to shut off the num-
bers total. at the race tracks, I
can see where the racket will die a
natural death. If all Washington
newspapers join up and the radio
ceases to broadcast the numbers the
gamblers need, they will be harder
put to work their racket"
Lieut.. Little said that his personal
belief is "the racketeers will travel
to other cities. The publicity The
Star has given the numbers racket
was just too much for men who must
make their living from a gullible
public. People have learned that
they haven't got a chance to win
playing the racketeer's game"

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, November 2o.-Jouett
Shouse, president of the American
Liberty League, today denounced what
he called "rsgimentation" undertaken
by the New Deal.
Striking back at President Roose-
velt's hint that the league places
property rights above human rights,
he quoted with approval newspaper
editorial saying nothing could be "sil-
lier" than to suppose personal and
property rights can conflict.
The leagues chief also expressed
regret" that the next Congress will
be composed of overwhelming MAORI
ties and small minorities.
Whether it be in Nation, State or
CITY," he said in an address prepared
for delivery to the Bond Club, 'the
best government is achieved when the
balance OF power between the two
parties Is as nearly as possible equal.
1t is undesirable when the pendulum
swings too far in either direction"
Seen Views of League.
Although Shouse emphasized he was
giving only his personal opinions, his
address was regarded as highly signii-
cant as pointing the future course of
this organization formed by such men
as Alfred E. Smith, James w. Wads-
worth, John w. Davis and Irenee du
Font to assess trends in government
and fight those it brands harmful.
Declaring again that the league is
not partisan nor ti-administration
and that 1T will hope to work with
the administration toward detectives
beneficial to the country" Shouse
said
1T will not fail to uphold funda-
mental Americanism against Subver-
sive theories and alien doctrines"
Shouse's opinions on N R. A. and
A. A. A., though underscored as only
his views, indicated for the first time
the possible standpoints of the league.
Declaring that "in many regards"
N. r. A. has served a useful purpose
and that he would not "ruthlesslv
sacrifice everything" connected with
it, he said:
That the N. r. A. has INDUCED In
unwarranted excess of attempted
regulation there can be no doubt.
That its policy of price fixing is detri-
mental to the best interests of the
great mass of the people is my firm
belief. That its attempt to write codes
for every little business of the country
was absurd and ridiculous there is
small question"
Regimentation Scored.
OF the A. A. A., Shouse said:
Il am not one of those who is un-
conscious of, or unsympathetic with

the ills with which agriculture has
been afflicted. I recognize the desir-
ability of restoring the buying power

GENEVA, November 20.-Austria
today demanded equality in arma-
ments of a Disarmament Conference
Committee which had heard a pro-
posal from the United States that the
arms trade, from revolvers to battle
ships, should be bottled up.
Austria went before the Steering
Committee of the conference and de-
clared her independence was men
aced. She said an armament race is
now in progress and threatens the
peace of Europe, and that she needs
more war materials in order to defend
her sovereignty.
Reich's Presence Held Need.
italy announced to the committee
that she believed it useless to proceed
with the disarmament conference
without the presence of Germany,
which withdrew from the parley last
year when her demands for more
armdmeQlS were TeluSeQ.
Austria's announcement today ap-
peared to be in close parallel to the
preceding one by her Germanic sister
The American proposal, however
was regarded as sufficient to inspire
the conference with the initiative to
continue in session.
Hugh r. Wilson, United States Min
lister to Switzerland and American
delegate to the conference, proposed
on behalf of his Nation a treaty pro-
viding for a rigid system Of licenses
and full publicity for all arms manu-
facture and trade. 1t was the most
complete document on munitions
which has been submitted here in
the three previous years of disarma-
ment consultations.
January Session Authorized.
Before the adjournment of the meet
ing, Arthur Henderson of Great
Britain, president Of the conference.
was authorized to convoke a meeting.
probably in January, to discuss the
United States proposal and other
questions.
The United States suggestion accepts
the inspection by an international
committee on American soil as to
whether the United States is living
up to the manufacture and traffic
treaties in arms, if other nations are
willing to do the same.
Both Great Britain and France
were understood to be sympathetic"
to it.
The delegates Of Spain and Sweden
said they approved.

commissar, demanded that the Dis
armement Conference be hquidated
and transformed into a permanent

sist on his proposal after Henderson
