ARMS MEETING CAN NOT SOLVE ALL PROBLEMS President Advises Future Conferences and Includes Germany. Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By PHILIPPE MILLET, Fo retire Editor I.e Petit Parisien. ■WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—Much Importance must be attached to the announcement made by President Harding as regards the possibility of convening other conferences after the present one, and, also, of Inviting to the present conference the other nations. Including Germany, In order that they should ratify such agreements as may be arrived at. 1 have reasons to believe that this second suggestion ha 9 been made without the foreign delegations having been previously Informed, and It must therefore up to the present be considered as the expression of an opinion more than as a definite scheme. Moreover, it Is probable that these Invitations to other nations could not be made In time, as the departure of most of the delegates Is already fixed and will take place between the 13th and the 15th of December. On the contrary, the first of the two Ideas put forward by the President deserve the most careful and serious attention. The American Government is quite aware that the present conference cannot last long enough to be able to solve all the problems of the Pacific, gome of these problems such as the question of extraterritoriality In China which has been approached in the last sitting of the Far Eastern committee will require a Tong examination and possibly an inquiry made on the spot. The useful Initiative taken by America in convening the conference would therefore be of no avail unless some means is found to renew in the future the Washington conversations. How can this means be found T The most simple would be Indeed to convene each year a plenary conference slmliar to the present one. This seems indeed to have been the Idea which President Harding had in mind. Such large conferences could not, however, be held more than at the utmost once a year, whereas more frequent consultations may In the meantime become necessary. For instance, It would be regrettable that one should have to wait a whole year before taking a single decision on the various questions connected with extraterritoriality In China. Vnder these circumstances, one wonders whether it would not be bevt to create what might be termed a special conference on the Pacific, composed of a reduced number of experts and of representatives of the various governments, who would meet In Washington each time it became necessary. This special and so to speak permanent conference to which might be added a standing secretariat would not prevent a more imposing assembly similar to the present one. but more numerous and more representative from meeting in Washington from time to lime. France could but congratulate herself over such anew departure. It would be a mistake to try and find the slightest analogy between such an Institution and the League of Nations as the latter implies certain obligations which America seems weU determined not to accept. The conference of the Pacific would be .but a diplomatic instrument, which would facilitate international cooperation in a certain field and at the same time leave every one of Its members entirely free of any commitment This kind of clearing house would efficiently promote the settlement of all outstanding difficulties in the Far East and in the Pacific. This is one more reason to hope that the. present conference, which is fortunately progressing in a normal way, will end in framing one or more general agreements which will facilitate the future development of Its work.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

SAY LLOYD GEORGE MUST SAIL SOON TO SAVE THE DAY (Continued From Page One.) military power, was obtaining teh Washington conference'* “O. K." to maintenance of her supremacy. It was as certain as the stars that Lloyd George would not lie down under inch a challenge to British prestige in Europe. He gent Canon into the - breach to fling the challenge back In France's teeth. Now, with the gulf between British and French yawning as hardly ever it has since the Boer war twenty years ago, David of Wales Is coming to slay the Goliath of a possible conference crisis. It Is his way and his opportunity. Soothing eomminques to the country, it can be stated unequivocally, the (hinon onslaught has deeply affronted the French in Washington. Publicly both sides exchange smiles. Privately they are gnashing their teeth. Probably the rancor Curcon has injected into the situation will have its first effect in connection with the submarine controversy. Behind the scenes that issue is developing into a bitter one. The British not only find themselves combating the American position, but Curzon has whetted French determination to stick to the position that national safety demands strong submarine forces for Srance. With America and France Jointly insisting on heavy submarine quotas, French statesmen may be relied upon not to overlook the opportunity of avenging themselves for the Curzon episode. It Is altogether a piquant state of affairs. “Piquant” puts It mildly. Words could be reproduced. If they were not designed to stir already sufficiently troubled water*, that would reveal the British In a fine frenzy over French submarine “pretentions." GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR LLOYD GEORGE. Now enters upon the stage of these bristling event* the wizard of compromise. David Lloyd George. The knot has been tied. Britain and France are at loggerheads. The moment is ideal for his favorite brand of statesmanship—removal of snags by a wave of his magic wand. Many angles of the Washington situation afford him the chance he 1* fond of taking. The deadlock over submarines already Is at hand. Great Britain has made other reservations to the Hughes naval program apart from wanting submarines reduced in number or abolished altogether. The British are In querulona mood about replacements of obsolete ships after the ten-year holiday. They are anxious for more clarity about auxiliary ships. . „ If the United States remains inflexible on the Hughes program, a deadlock on either of the other Issues Is not only conceivable but probable. If the deadlock proved obdurate, precisely the state of affairs would arise In which Lloyd George Is skilled In pirouetting to the center of the ar.ena and, with Inevitable augmentation of personal prestige and power, rescuing the situation. The conference. It would be made to appear, was preserved from the rocks by the adroit and resourceful prime minister of Britain. He would nse the methods that have kept him In office, despite predicaments that have overthrown half a dozen premiers. It will be five years the second week In December since Lloyd George became the head of the British government. It would not be unlike him to celebrate the anniversary In Washington with the most dazzling of all hia feats of political legerdemain. If oppornnltlea for “Be wing up” the P* irenc* on naval affair* are numerous, cannot be said *f the chances on 4*

Far Eastern and Pacific questions? To the general public that section of the conference agenda Is proceeding with the smoothness of a perfectly oiled machine. So it Is, in respect of general, broad principles. The conference has devised practical methods for dealing with every big league problem thus far presented—the Chinese tariff, extraterritoriality, Chinese “postal freedom,” etc. When other topics bob up as they presently will —leaseholds and concessions that must be disgorged, treaty ports, spheres of Influence, railways, external loans, and what not —they, too, will be assigned to subcommittees. Hut when tha moment arrives for tackling them not on broad principles, but applying principles In concrete detail—the brass-tacks stage of the game—then watch for flying fur. It is then flint may flash between Britain and France. Their vested interests in China are extensive and of long standing. They were past masters In the spoliation of the Chinese long before the amateur Japanese took It np. Before Lord Cnrzon “opened his mouth both north and south” as an English journalist in Washington puts it, there was prospect Britain and France would march shoulder t< shoulder at Washington on certain Far Eastern affairs—that they would j ol their Interests and their woes now, Curzou having spilled Incendiary beans, they may not do so with such promptness or mutual good faith. Yes, Lloyd George has a grand and glorious opportunity. He can make or break the conference men are saying. They have read the “inspired” editorials In the Sunday newspapers of London, urging It is "L. G.'s” patriotic duty to hurry across the Atlantic snd strike a blow for "England, home and beauty.” It Is the kind of slow music that always preceds some grandiose action on his part. It will not be the same Lloyd George who has weathered the storms that have passed over Downing street since December, 1916, if he Is not here In good time to see to it that John Bull has a merry Christmas. Whatever his motives, and whenever he comes, Lloyd George is assured of a splendid welcome in Washington. The President and Secretary Hughes are known to be anxious that he should come. He is sure to inject an atmosphere of dynamic energy Into the conference, at whatever stage his arrival finds it. American statesmen hold the British premier in high esteem and no contribution be m'ght make to conference proceedings would be anything but statesmanlike and helpful.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company. CAPITAL NOT ADVISED OF PREMIER'S COMING WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—Members of the British conference delegation said today they were without advices as to Premier Lloyd George's intentions about coming to Washington. The only information they have received, it was stated, has come through press dispatches. Opinion varies in the British colony here as to whether the premier will actually come, some members expressing the belief that he will be here by Christmas, while others doubt that he will come t aIL

Arms Parley Has a Rival in Sheppard- Towner Bill Child Welfare and Humanity Bureau Are Strongly in Favor .

Special to Indiana Dally Time* and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By CONSTANCE DREXEL. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2a —Though the Washington conference seems to have struck a little rough sledding for the moment, another undertaking of great Interest to women has reached a successful climax. When on Monday List the Senate, without debate, “concurred” with slight changes made by the House in the Shep-pard-Towner bill, it was only a matter . of hours when the President affixed his i signature, which he did on the day bei fore Thanksgiving. Nothing except the : successful debut of the Washington conl fereuce has given him greater pleasure. , No wonder, because its successful passage so early in his Administration was a distinct personal triumph. And bej sides, the President knows, as all the progressive Republican leaders know, ; that the Sbeppard-Towner bill will be a ’ factor in alleviating the criticism In next ■ year's Congressional elections, that this Congress has been "reactionary" and un- : mindful of the interests of the people. NEW BILL PROMOTES WELFARE. And now, only a few doors from the group of three buildings where the Washington conference Is trying to make human life more sacred, the children's bureau la preparing to accept the administration of the bill designed to “promote the welfare and hygiene of maternj ity and infancy.” ! It is entirely logical, but nevertheless, a striking coincident that the United States Government should be embarking on these two adventures in human welfare at the same moment and a few doors apart. At the children’s btirenn. with oilloe* in one of the temporary buildings erected during the war. near the Pan-American Union and the new navy and munitions buildings, I talked with Miss Grnce Abbott, who succeeded Mrs. Julia I.athrop as chief of the bureau a few months ago. She said: "Though the bill is now law, the appropriations have not yet been made, but we are beginning to make our plans and are delighted to accept this additional responsibility.” It must be remembered, however, this attempt to "promote the welfare and hygiene of maternity and infancy" is put up to the States, their plans to lie submitted to the children’s bureau and subject to final approval by the Federal board of maternity and infant hygiene, consisting of the surgeon general of *he public health service, commissioner of education and chief of the children’s burean. The children’s bureau as the administrator, is allowed not more than

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28,1921.

ADVANCE MADE TOWARD ARMS PARLEY GOAL (Continued From Page One.) replacement facilities and auxiliary vessels. The Japanese desire an increase in the “five-five-three” capital sWo quoto so as to make it a “five-five-three-half” quota, giving Japan a fleet 70 per cent as strong as the capital ship strength of America and Great Britain instead of 60 per cent, as contemplated by the “five-five-three” plan. Great Britain has accepted the Hughes “five five-three” ratio. American and British naval experts now are scrutinizing the Japanese claim for an increased quota. The Japanese also wish a higher illtoment of “defensive vessels,” by which, it is indicated, they mean airplane carriers. The outstanding developments of the second week of the conference, just closed, were, in the order of their occurrence, as follows:

1. M. Briand in an Impassioned plea, before a plenary session of the conference resents France’s case for maintenance of strong land aYmament. He argues that the war spirit, of Germany is not dead, nor are her actual preparations for reviewing war by any means neglible. The French premier asserts Germany today has 7,000,000 potential troops ready for a new campaign France, nevertheless, Is on the verge of making substantial reductions in her military establishment. She asks nothing from her late comrades-in-arms except that she shall not be “morally isolated.” She seeks no concrete guarantees in the form of parchment treaties of alliance and defense. Sko asks the world not to believe in her alleged “imperialism,” France’s inter-

<50,000 of the yearly appropriation, for Its end of It. “What de you proposo to do with that?” I asked. WILL FORM AN ORGANIZATION. “We shall have field agents to go from State to State for consultation with State authorities and make surveys to be pushed for the u*o of the States.” As for the States themselves, the children’s bureau has ascertained that at least six Suites In the 1921 sessions ot their Legislatures passed laws accepting the act, if It should become a law, and authorizing a State board or division to cooperate with the Federal Government. This does not mean the States already have approprited all they should in order to be their full share of the $1,480,000 authorized for the current fiscal year and of the $1,210,W0 fop each of five years thereafter. But it does mean those six States are ready to accept the SIO,OOO coming to them out of the bill to start the work regardless of any npproprlaton of their own. The bill says $lO,000 the first year and $5,000 a year thereafter, for each tSate Indicating Us desire to cooperate. An additional $5,000 will bo pld providing the State appropriates $5,000 of its own for the same purpose. That makes a total of $ 10,000 the first year and SlO.noo a year for each year thereafter available from the total Federal appropriation of the act regardless of size. ISOLATION IS BROKEN. This minimum was fixed so the sparse ly populated States like Nevada and Montana, for Instance, might benefit from the bill. Surreys prove tt la the rural districts with lone farm houses or ranches that need visiting nurses, consultation centers and other facilities for maternity and lnfuncy cases. In addition to the minimum amounts alio ted to the States, the remaining $710,000 of the annual Federal appropriation will be distributed among the States on the basis of population, providing ths amounts are matched by State appropriations, It must be remembered that no cash benefits are involved, such as prevail In some European countries. These figures and information are given In this articla to show that, though conservative women have won a great national victory with the passage in this session of their Sheppard-Towner bill, the work must be carried on in the States. The women of the land are only at the beginning of their venture to focus more attention on maternity and Infancy —Copyright, 1921, By l’ublic Ledger Company,

est being exclusively the maintenance of peace. But she must have sleepless regard to the primary dictates of national security. RECEPTION OF FRENCH PROPOSAL, 2. Mr. Balfour, responding to M. Briand, indicates that the British empire, which lost a million killed and suffered two million maimed and wounded in the World War, will not falter if ever again the cause of civilization and liberty is menaced. Mr. Hughes, speaking for the United States, declares “no words ever spoken by France have fallen upon deaf ears in America,” and adds: “The cause of liberty and justice is never in mornllzation.” Spokesmen of Japan, Italy and Belgium pledged their countries in principle to the cause of reduced land armament, as far as consonant with national safety. 3. The United States is not inclined to consider allowing any power by one device or another to increase the quotas proposed as bases for future naval strength. The American program was worked out with regard to every conceivable contingency, and to permit it at the outset to be ‘Tevised upward” means opening the flood gates anew to naval increase throughout the world, when the purpose of the Washington conference is to pave the way for naval decrease. 4. On the basis Os China s “ten points,” submitted to the conference by the Chinese delegation on Nov. 16, as a basis for the political and economic reformation of China, the committee on Far Eastern and Pacific questions adopts four broad principles Introduced by Ellhu Root on behalf of the American delegation. The “Root resolutions,” it is announced, are to be the guide for ensuing consideration of Chinese questions in conjunction with China's ::ten points.’' LAND ARMAMENT IN DISCARD. 5. Italy attempts, in the committee for land armament, to secure passage of a resolution looking to concrete steps for limitation of military establishments. At his farewell appearance as a conference participant, M. Briand succeeds in blocking the passage of the Italian resolution, throwing the question of land armament at Washington definitely and finally into the discard. 6. The Chinese delegation. In their first move on the basis of the “ten points ’ and the “Root resolutions” introduce a specific scheme for reform of China’s tariff system. It asks removal of the restrictions whereby the Chinese may impose only five per cent advalorem duty on Imports and pleads for complete “tariff autonomy" for China. Subject referred to a special subcommitte, with Senator Oscar W. Underwood of the American delegation, as chairman. 7. Lord Curxon. British foreign secretary, la a London speech bitterly attacks France as "mllitaristically inclined” and bent upon playing a lone hand in European affairs. Tho speech Is regarded in all conference circles as inexplicably contradictory of the sentiments expressed conoerning France by Mr. Balfour. I-ears
