TAXATION NOW CHIEF BURDEN OF MANKIND Methods to Reduce Gigantic Expense Budgets Is Leading Topic. WHAT NATION THINKS Special to Indiana Dally Time* and Philadelphia Public Ledger. BT FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. WASHINGTON, Nor. B—" Let the American delegation at the Washlngtpn conference demand limitation of naval armament—real, substantial, speed limitation— adn It will achieve one of two results. It will either get what It wants, or It will unmask to the whole world the reason why mankind clamor for relief from unbearable taxation burdens cannot be gratified." In these words the chief apostle of armament limitation In the United States, Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, In an exclusive interview epitomized the eonf<recce situation as, he views It on the eve of the week’s transcendent events. It will encourage the friends of limitation to know that its foremost advocate is not pessimistic over the outlook. The way to desired results has not been paved exactly as he would have paved It. He deplored the absence of "passionate supporters” of the movement In the American delegation. He regrets the inclusion of non-armament questions In the conference agenda. He fears that because of the forest of problems now conjured up the trees of genuine consequence may be missed. But he sees one immense, promising ray of hope, that Is his conviction that if the people of the country sternly and uncompromisingly Insist upon their conference representatives hewing unswervingly to the line of armament limitation, Amerlcan-wlll-power and America’s dominant position in the world can enforce results worth having. POSITION OF 6ENATOB BORAH. Among both conference delegates from ■broad and the boat of statesmen-Jour-nallsts In their entourage, there Is as much eagerness to meet Senator Borah as there Is to know President Harding •nd Secretary Hughes. “In my country," said an editor of world renown, "we feel as If It weren't for Borah, we might not have been here." Surprise Is general that the man who fomented the movement for arms limitation In the United States Congress Is not associated officially with the conference. But there already Is ample evidence Senator Borah will be its outstanding nonofficial personage. "I wish the American delegation that will take Us place at the conference horoscope next Saturday." said Senator Borah, “could have a look at the mall now pouring onto the desks of members of Congress from the folks 'back home.’ I wish Messrs. Hughes. Root, Lodge and Underwood, before they begin discussing the conference agenda with their fellow statesmen from eight nations, could X-ray the mind of their own nation. What would they discern? They would see that the American people know little, and care less, about International principles and policy In the Far East. They would discern th t the thought now oppressing our people almost to the exclusion of all others, is how cut down our gigantic national budget of $4,500.000.000 They would learn that It Isn't Shantung. Siberia or Manchuria, or Japan, or the open door in China that is keeping the American people awake nights. They would find out that our national Insomnia Is due to the crushing burden of taxation In town, county, State and Narion. They would be convinced that alongside the demand for relief from that burden, nothing else, in American popular estimation counts very much Just now.
NATIONAL. UTPENSES STAGGERING. “So the American people—the plain people, who have to meet the nation's staggering bill of expenditure—will understand Just one thing about the armament conference. They will understand the results that will ensue from cutting down our naval and military appropriations. If the American delegation goes Into the conference uncompromisingly determined to achieve such a purpose, the people will feel they have been genuinely represented. If such a result is other nations insist upon continuing the race In armaments —America will at least have exposed where the guilt lies. In my own judgment. It is the competition in armament that breeds war. History, if I am not mistaken, will say that It was primarily rivalry in naval armament that produced the World War. If the breeding cause of war, therefore. Is to be perpetuated, America will know that Us duty Is, and it will not fall to do It.” Senator Borah, like most well-informed persons in Washington, has beard of two major propositions to which It is understood the United States will lend Its support at the conference. One is the “stabilization" of China under some system of internation cooperation, and the extension of some sort of security to France against German aggression other than the Anglo-American treaty which the United States Senate Ignored. NO ONE EXPECTS FRANCE TO DISARM. “The country wouldn't ‘go along,’ with the administration," said Senator Borah, “in Incalculable commitments either in China or France. As to the Far East, I do not think it either within our province oH within our capacity to prevent the logical expansion of Japan. We might as well have attempted a hundred years ago to arrest the growth of the British empire. As to France, she should never have been Invited to attend the Washington conference. Nobody can expect France to disarm unless security to take the place of her land armaments can be offered her. Everybody knows that no such security ever can or will be offered by the United States In treaty form; and France will hardly be satisfied with a town-meeting resolution pretending to guarantee her national safety. Italy is in the same posit! jn. The potential cause of another world war is to be found in naval competition. The Washington conference, therefore, should have been confined to that subject. If we can check naval building among the three principal sea powers even for as brief an Interval as five the Interval can be employed in stabilising conditions In the Far East and elsewhere, with some practical promise of averting a war which. In my opinion, otherwise will ensue, sooner or later, as inevitably as time Itself. It is because the plain American people are filled with anxious thoughts of this kind that they hope and pray their delegation at the Washington conference will face the real Issue —limitation of naval armament—face It manfully and not be misled into irrelevent and transitory 'successes’ In other directions.”— Copyright, 1021, by Public Ledger Company.

The police ' Investigated and a physician, who was called, told them the woman had taken only a small amount of a drug and her condition was act serious.
Tariff Bill is Abandoned as Session Ends Peace and Tax Revision Only Two of Tasks Congress Completes . WASHINGTON Nov. B.—The etra session of Congress will complete only two of the major tasks In Us program as announced by President Harding, It now appears. These are peace and tax revision. With about twenty working days of the present session remaining strong pressure will bave to be put behind the tax bill in order to have a conference report approved by both houses, but leaders are determined to do this. Permanent tariff legislation has been definitely abandoned at thia session. The outlook la dark for enactment of the railroad funding bill and thi measure for refunding the foreign debt at this session. Passage of the compromise bill by the Senate Is expected today. Just one week behind the time fixed by Republican leaders for Its finil enactment. Republican Insurgents were ready to hold It up If the compromise provisions demanded by the agriculture bloc are modified in conference. Operating under a tcn-mlnute speech limit the Republican leaders expect to make short work of the Simmons-13 alshMcKellar proposals for payment of the soldier bonus from Interest on the foreign debts. With the tax bill' disposed of, Senate leaderc have agreed to give the anti-beer bill the right of way. Drys are determined to Invoke the "gag rule ’ If nfeeessary to jam It through. Wets are prepared to resist to the end and a long fight Is In prospect. President Harding wishes the railroad refunding bill passed at this session and Republican lenders may be forced to withdraw the beer bill. PREPAREDNESS BEST MEANS TO PREVENT WARS Representative Kahn, However, Hopes for Success of Harding Arms Confab. Advocating preparedness as the best means of preserving peace but at the same time urging bis hearers to pray for the success of the conference on the limitation of armaments, Julius Kahn of California, chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs In rhe National House of Representatives, addressed a meeting in the temple of the Indianapolis Hebrew congregation last night. “I do not like war any more than anybody else but I do know the one way this country can continue In peace is to be prepared for any emergency that may confront the American people." he said. "Therein lies our strength. If the rest of the world finds out we have adequate defenses they will let us alone for all time. Nations are like highwaymen; every nation is trying to get the best there Is for iHelf and citlzena. I am not fooling myself. I quit doing that a long time ago. We were actually In the war only about six months and it took us thirteen months of the nineteen months of tee state of war to get ready." Mr. Kahn then went on to tell of the cost of war and declared that Is whj he wished to prevent war If he could He said there is no fear of trouble with Japan since Japan has seen what the United States could do In a war. In the beginning of bis talk Mr. Kahn referred to Henry Ford and his attack upon the Jews and asked tls audience to pay no attention to him. Rabbi Morris M. Feuerlieht denounced Mr. Ford as an "opulent ignoramus who tried to impugn the patriotism of the Jews as a class." BERLIN SNEERS AT BEATTY. BERLIN, Nov. 8. —Commencing today upon Admiral Beatty’s recent speech at Chicago, the Nationalist newspaper Deutsche Tageblatt today said: "The British admiral was miserably beaten In the battle of Jutland. His speech showed that he fears a second such battle."

RED CROSS WILL OPEN DRIVE ON ARMISTICE DAY Campaign .for New Members Will Be Started Friday by Indianapolis Chapter. Announcement was mad* today that plans are being perfected for the annual Red Cross roll call or membership campaign by the Indianapolis chapter of the American Red Cross to be officially opened on Armistice day. Nearly 33,000 members were enrolled In the campaign last year and It Is hoped by the campaign managers that a far greater number will be enrolled In this year's campaign. According to the announcement the city will be divided Into five general divisions with a campaign manager In charge of each division. The "mile square” In the downtown district will be one division and the other divisions will be the north, south, east Rnd west side*. Workers will be named for each ward and precinct in the city and booths also will be established in the “mile square" district. Mrs. Wolf Sussman will be the campaign manager In the “mile square-divi-sion," It was announced today. Mrs. Sussman already has opened headquarters in the Christ Church parish house on Monument Circle and Meridian s:reet. The chief appeal In the campaign will be the work the. Red Cross has done and Is now doing for ex-service men and their dependents who are In need. This work Is not being duplicated by the Government or any other agency and thousands of former service men are receiving aid. William Fortune, president of the Indianapolis chapter of the Red Cross Issued a statement concerning the coming membership campaign In which he pointed out that Armistice Day, when the campaign will be officially opened throughout the United States, also Is becoming universally recognized as Red Cross Day. "What more appropriate time could there be for substantial expression of the helpful spirit of the American people?" Mr. Fortune said. "In preparing for another of the annual Red Cross membership campaigns, men and women active In Red Cross work throughout America rely on the public to understand that every Red Cross appeal Is born of necessity,” Mr. Fortune said. "‘The work Is so Important that the efforts of the organization must be continued. "During the last two years the demand ~ DAN DERI NE Stops Hair Coming Out; Thickens, Beautifies.

for Red Cr4is assistance In dealing with th* former *ervlce men has not diminished, and In tide absehce of other relief agencies or governmental departments to undertake what the Red Cross Is doing, it Is probable that much of the effort of the Red Cfoss for several years to come must be devoted to the task of meeting the relief problems among former soldiers and their dependents. "During the last year the Red Cross has expended for this purpose nearly double the amount derived by the chapter from memberships. To properly carry on this benevolent work among the service men the Red Cross needs the generous assistance of all. "We appeal not only for memberships In the campaign which starts In a few days, but for the active cooperation of workers to assist In making the campaign a success." Persons who are now members of the chapter must renew In order to hold their membership In the organization for another year. As usual, memberships are sold for sl. AH!
