SENATOR NEW SURPRISED BY t OPPOSITE VIEW Ex-Service Man Defends League of Nations at Wornen Voters’ Meeting. WILSON GIVEN CREDIT Senator Harry S. New received one of the surprises of his life at the mass meeting to discuss the conference on the limitation of armaments at Caleb Mills Hall last night when, after he had injected into the meeting his feelings on the League of Nations, Albert Stump, an Indianapolis lawyer and an ex-service man, arose and defended he league, declaring the conference in Washington is an attempt to carry out a part of the provisions of the league covenant. Mr. Stump spoke as secretary of the resolutions committee of the meeting. Senator New had referred to the league as a dream and as unworkable. He said he is even more opposed to it now than he was when he voted against the ratification of the covenant as a member of the Senate. Mayor Charles W. Jewett previously had expressed similar sentiments. Mr. Stump called attention to the fact that Senator New had referred to the league as a “mere dream." FULFILLMENT ON ARTICLE 8. “The conference in Washington is merely a fulfillment of article 8 of the league covenant," he declared. “The other provisions of the league covenant also will be fulfilled. I believe the league was the solution of the problems confronting the nations and that Its provisions ultimately will be carried out. “But we are all seeking the same end •whether it is accomplished by President 'Harding or Woodrow Wilson, but everything that is being done Is being done as it was taught by Woodrow Wilson. “However! I wish the conference unbounded success. I hope that no one will think me narrow enough to oppose It on merely partisan grounds and that no one will oppose it on such grounds.” The meeting was held under the auspices of the League of Women Voters and about thirty other organizations for the purpose of drafting resolutions on the dlsarmamei 1 conference. MAYOR INJECTS PARTISANSHIP. Mayor Jewett was the first to inject partisan differences into the meeting. He recalled Washington's warning against entangling alliances and declared that the last presidential election showed that the people had not forgotten this warning. He praised President Harding for his opposition to the League of Nations and declared that the peace that was hoped for is being worked out without alliances. Senator New remarked that Mayor Jewett had made his speech on the subject of the league and added that It wag 8 “dread.” He told his audience that the Versailles conference had been impressed unduly by the things the nations it represented had endured and that it was “not in a sound and disposing frame of mind.” The Senator devoted most of his speech to the conference itself, declaring. among other things, that the limitation of naval armament will make great wars impossible, regardless of the disposition of the question of land armaments.

says conference GOOD FAITH ATTEMPT. "The conference is called to give assurance to the world that there will be no more war, or at least it is a good faith attempt to bring this about,” he said H e gave a description of the opening session of the conference, and added that he was one of the few persons who knew what Secretary of State Hughes was to propose when he arose to make his speech on naval disarament. He said that this proposal means the junking of American 6hips in the course of construction on which more than $330,000,000 already had been spent, and that the other nations, if they agree to the proposal, will junk a total of sixty-ix ships. "This means that the great nations will te bereft of the power to make war on each other or on other nations,” he said. “No nation can make war against us and we cannot make war without a great navy. I‘_ is a guarantee of good faith and sincerity of purpose such as was never equalled." The Senator continued by recounting the saving that would be accomplished through a ten-year naval holiday. He discussed to some extent what he termed the feeling of apprehension of attack “by another nation,” and added that there can be no such attack if the naval proposal is agreed to and carried out “No one can fford to refuse the proposition and they are not going to refuse It,” he added. “The nation that says a final ‘no’ to that proposal will not have the friendship or the moral rapport of anybody anywhere. I believe that the conference will be a success and that it will lead to other conferences.” RESOLUTION TO BE FORWARDED. The resolution adopted at the meeting follows: “Whereas, the people of the United States entered and fought throngh the World War inspired not only by purposes of self preservation but also with the hope that their sacrifices might contribute to the building up of the conditions of permanent and abiding peace among the nations of the world, and “Whereas, in the multitude of perplexing international problems confronting the world today we believe the people of the United States desire above all things that from onr last war there shall come greater security for the peace of the world, and “Whereas, at the call of the President of the United States a conference of nations has been assembled at Washington to consider the limitation of armaments ns a step toward the consummation of that hope: “Now. therefore, be it resolved. That it lg the sense of this meeting made up of representatives of civic, religious and patriotic bodies of the Seventh Congressional District of Indiana, that the security of our own people and of the other peoples of the world rests in the friendly understanding existtng between nations rather than in the army and navy strength any nation may command, and "Be it further resolved. That we commend the clear and candid statement of Secretary Hughes outlining the purposes of the United States in regard to the problems of armaments: that we approve of the evident sincerity of our delegation to the conference in their desire to

May Turn Battle Cruisers Into Palatial Ocean Liners

Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. —Proposals to convert the six great American battle cruisers to be scrapped under the Hughes program, into palatial ocean liners are being widely discussed in conference and senatorial quarters. There seems to be n considerable divergence of view as to the feasibility of the scheme. The British navy, which has had a large experience in scrapping warships since the armistice, has seen all its former battleships, cruisers and other men-of-war "broken up” and sold for old iron, steel, copper and other second hand material. No single case Is on record, British admiralty spokesmen said, of a warship being turned Into merchant craft. Evidently British ship owners, it was pointed out, do not consider there is any direct commercial advantage in obtaining merchant tonnage by such a conversion method. DIFFERENT VIEWS OF FEASIBILITY. In those circles of the Senate—the Committee on Commerce, which has charge of shipping affairs, and on naval affairs—much skepticism exists as to the prac-

tical value of the scheme suggested by Joseph W. Powell, president of the Emergency Fleet Corporation. Senator Jones of Washington, chairman of the Commerce Committee and author of the new United States merchant marine act, said: ”1 am not enough of a marine engineer to say off-hand whether Mr. Powell’s suggestions are practical. I would be inclined to be guided by his judgment. Other merchant marines possess very fine passenger ships with which the American marine that-is-to-be will some day have to compete. Any measures designed to enable us to meet the competition promptly and effectively will have my hearty support.” Senator Poindexter of Washington, chairman of the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs, said: “Tell Powell project conjures up a host of serious engineering and economic aspects. It would have to be very carefully worked out in advance I think, before It could claim congressional consideration. Our naval experts already sny it is going to cost a very heavy sum of money for the mere scrapping of capital ships under the Hughes program. If it is the shipping board out

of whose pocket the money must come, the thought immediately presents Itself that that Institution already is in an exceedingly sad and sorry financial condition. I should say offhand, though 1 would want to reserve final judgment until the marine engineering experts have spoken, that a battle cruiser of our Lexington, Constellation clasß would need a tremendous amount of overhauling before it could be put into shape for passenger ship purposes. Even though these vessels are nearly all In the first stages of contructlon—only one, I think, as far advanced as 33 per cent and others not yet 5 per cent built —the feat of making them over into liners seems at first thought almost a prohibitively prodigious one.” The idea of converting the battle cruiser, originally was advanced by Admiral W. S. Benson, former chairman and now member of the shipping board. NAVY HEADS PLEASED WITH PROPOSAL. The proposal was received with considerable interest in navy quarters and apparently pleased naval officers from Secretary Denby down. Secretary Denby, expressing the natural view of the Navy, which contemplates ruefully the proposal to send the big warships to the scrap heap, said the shipping board plan was “very interesting.” He gave the definite impression he sincerely hoped something could be done to save the ships from utter destruction. —Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.
