HARVESTER WAS
 VICTIM OF PLOT
Two Men Are Held For Trying to Extort $2,OOO
 From Him

New York, July l6.-(UP)-Two men were held today on charges of extorting $2,000 from Harry Ban- mister, former husband of Ann Harding, motion picture actress, to suppress forged "affidavits" against him when he and Miss Harding were litigating over custody of their daughter, Now 2.
 Those Arrested
 The accused men, arrested last night, are Jerome A. Jacobs, 48, @ lawyer, and Ray Derringer, 80, Q private detective. Jacobs had been free under bond awaiting trial on charges Of Attempting to extort 920,000 from Alfred D. Smith, Jr., son of the former democratic pres- ident candidate, and of blackmail- ing $500 from Paul J. Bonwit, for- mer head of Bonwit- Teller, store of expensive women's wear.
 It was reported that information against the two came partly from Lord" Ernest Desmond De Hagen, who was extradited from California recently in connection with extor- ton plots.
 Harold Hastings, acting district attorney, said Derring admitted the attempt to blackmail Banrister. Jacobs denied knowledge of the plot.
 Talked Afildavlts
 Hastings said the faxed aftldavits that Bannister bought from the ex- tortionists were represented to him as having been prepared by e pri- vate detective employed by Miss Harding to prevent him from gain ing custody of his daughter. The Bannisters were divorced in Reno in 1882 but never have ceased to fight over their daughter.
 Only few weeks ago Miss Hard- ing flew from Hollywood across Canada to Quebec to board ship for England with her daughter, hoping to avoid legal difficulties with her husband. Even so, Ban- mister flew from New York to Que- bee with e lawyer and arrived there less than an hour after his former wife and his daughter had ferried secretly out to departing liner.

Besides these cnveniences, the roll

Doubled Arms Bill Of World
Confronts Workers For Peace;
Forceful Propaganda Needed

Geneva, Dec. % Here are three
sets of figures which should be blaz-
oned far and wide in the hope that
they will shock peace lovers into real
action at last:
World expenditure on ornaments
in 1913: 100000 00 pounds.
World expenditure on ornaments
in 1928: l,000.000,00O.
World expenditure on ornaments in
1885: 1,500,000,444 pounds ~
1t would be superfluous to comment
on them. They speak for themselves.
If any peace worker can continue to
believe that the methods adopted
since the World War have been ade-
quate, he is surely possessed of ex-
traordinary equanimity.
Better Propaganda Needed
If the peace worker believes that
the deterioration is due to a few
bad" nations, ha is surely exceeding
ly ingenious AT least he should in
quire into the rightness of his peace
conceptions and the efficacy of his
peace propaganda.
Nor is this all. 1t is notorious that
since last year when the sanctions ex-
pertinent was tried and (for whatever
raason) failed, every country has en-
ormously increased its expenditure.
Even Great Britain has been reused
Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-12-23

to an unprecedented effort, while
France under what is virtually a So
cialist Government is looking to its
defenses.
Force Against Force
The situation is rendered more diff
ficult by the fact that certain nations,
particularly those which are demo
cratic" particularly those which are
pacific" have shown a desire to OPP
pose the forces of sOcalled fascism by
their own forces.
Many well-intentioned persons were
even ready to fight Italy for the sake
of Abyss mia, to fight Germany for
the sake of Russia, to fight part of
Spain for the sake of the Frente
Popular.
But this kind of "crusading" calls
for arms. BY a singular paradox it
therefore appears that these respect
able sentiments have made rearmipg
on an unparalleled scale inevitable.
Increase i'm All Lines
The Armaments Year Book pub
l.shed by the League of Nations
points out that trustworthy figures
from Germany are lacking, but the
expenditure is certainly higher than
the conservative estimates adopted
In the leading European countries
100000 men were in 1885 under arms

Buell. Joins Move
To Limit Warfare
To Defense ONLY

Philadelphia, Dec. 23-Raymond
Leslie Buell., president of the Foreign
Policy Association, has joined with
300 authors, educators, journalists and
clergymen in volunteering to speak
at some of the 1900 meetings sponsor
ed in. about 1000 towns and cities by
the Emergency Peace Campaign dur
ing January and February.
At these meetings it is proposed to
concentrate on an effort to bring
about legislation intended to confine
tions to the defense of the United
States itself-as a first step toward
worldwide peace.
All Channels Utilized
The campaigns constant endeavor
to utilize all possible channels for
public education in international af-
fairs, as basis for permanent mill
tary and economic peace is being con-
tinued as we'll, and it is in this field
that Mr.. Buells chief interest lies.
AS president of the Foreign Policy
Association since 1888, he has travel
ed extensively and has talked with
public figures in most European coun-
tries. He is the author of various
books and articles on international af-
fairs, including "The Washington Con-
ference" 1.-THE Native Problem in
Africa" Europe, A History of Ten
Years." and THE New Governments
of Europe"
Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-12-23

100000 in 1882 and 100000 in re-
serve That these figures are well un-
der the mark may be judged from
Signor Mussolini's statement that
Italy alone had 100000 men pre-
pared for an emergency.
Warship tonnage in 1885 was 6,013,-
eco, against 5,299,000 in 1882 This
year 100000 tons will be laid down.
Submarines were 588, against 491 in
1928.
The air strength of the great pow
ers is put at 10000 fighters and
bombers; 5000 in reserve
Use Of Gas Accepted
In addition elaborate organization
has been undertaken for the deftnse
of civilians against gas bombing. No
fewer than II countries have taken
amazing precautions, without any
real reaction on the part of the popu-
lation, which thus appears to accept
gas bombing as a likely eventuality.
Gas is ruled out by international law
but it is obvious that if it's use is TAX
en- for granted by many nations, those
same nations are getting ready to use
it themselves.
rope, the statistics are no less strik-
ing. They give, for all the perman-
ent forces of the world for 1856, dis
regarding the various semi-military
formations and police forces, mill
tar-zed or not, an approximate figure
of 100000 men at present under arms
$4,000 of whom are in navies. The
corresponding figure for the period
of the Disarmament Conference
1931-32) was 6,500,000. In the last
five or six years, therefore, there has
been an increase of 100000 men.
Increase of $1,7OO,OOO
Calculations have been made which
gave the figure for the whole world
before the war of 100000 men under
the colors, not including navies. AS
the corresponding figure for 1882
is almost the same, it will be seen
that at the time of the Conference.
the figure of world military effectives
of permanent forces was approximate
ly as before the war. At the present
time, the number of men with the col
ors, not including navies, is 100000
or an increase of 100000 as compar
ed with the pre-war figure.
WHAT CcHuS ~ AdlSlly IneSe figures,
In the sense of understatement, is the
fact, acknowledged frankly by the
compilers, that "in addition to the reg
ular armed forces, there are semi
military forces. Though the latter
cannot be put exactly on the same
footing as the ordinary military forces
they are nevertheless a valuable ad-
Junct to the latter"
Mobilization Plans Omitted
Furthermore it is emphasized that
account is taken only of information
in regard to facts that are public
property or obtained by the systema-
tic sitting of public documents" It
IS acknowledged that "the Armaments
year Book can contain only informa-
ton on the organization of the diff
1eFent armies on a peace footing
1T is well known that official pub
locations never give details of the mob
llIatlon plan or of reserve material.
etc. Yet ornaments experts agree
that a study of the armed forces of
countries on peace footing is of
some value. 1t must be remembered
that in peace time countries are pre-
pairing for possible war"
