NATIONS AWAIT PEACE PARLEY DATE DECISION Time for First Big Move Against War Will Be Set This Month. Thi* U Ihr Fir*t of a series of article* *’•' *hc hazards and hopes of the comint world disarmament conference. BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD l nited Pres* Staff ( orrrsoondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—Within another year statesmen from all nations will be preparing to converge on some common point in Europe, there to decide whether civilization is ready to lay down some of its arms. This will be the conference foreshadowed in the League of Nations covenant, drafted more than ten years ago. A framework—or draft treaty for disarmament—just has been completed, after five years of work, by the preparatory disarmament commission, on which the United States and Soviet Russia, although not league members, were represented. The draft treaty contains no figures, save those for naval reduction already agreed, on at Washington and London. Otherwise, it only outlines methods of disarmament. It is a skeleton on which the conference wjll work.

Date to Be Set Soon A date for this world disarmament conference will be set by the League of Nations council this month. Officials here believe the meeting will be called around February, 1932. The coming conference will be both unique and epochal. It will mark, the first time in history that the entire world—composing mere than fifty nations—has gathered even to consider laying down its arms. Success, statesmen hold, will offer some hope of enduring peace. Bickering, dissent, failure will encourage the gods of war. And as it is axiomatic in international circles that successful conferences must be built on tedious preparation, the state department and other foreign offices, during this year, will try, by diplomatic conversations. to solve their most dangerous problems in advance. Gibson Instructed Already Ambassador Hugh Gibson, veteran of many international conferences, has received instructions from this government to cooperate with France and Italy to clear up their naval deadlock. Aside from solving such specialized problems, the success of the coming conference, statesmen believe, will depend largely on the will of the people to disarm. Gibson emphasized this thought in a speech near the end of the Geneva conference. Recently the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace called on the United States and her former allies to disarm. It pointed out that Germany was promised that the other nations would lay aside some of their guns as they required her to do. Reduction of armament, said a statement by the endowment’s officers—Elihu Root. Nicholas Murray Butler and others—is an ' imperative obligation.” Circulate Petitions Meanwhile, the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom is seeking, in many lands, for signatures to a disarmament petition. According to the league. 100,000 persons in Great Britain already have signed it. Many signers, including the German visitor, Albert Einstein, have been found here, the league said. Statesmen see no immediate prospect of a Utopia without guns, warships or fighting planes. The most optimistic of them hope only

ASK STRONGER TARIFF LAWS G. 0. P. Fearful of Revival of Whole Issue. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—Amendment of the Hawley-Smoot tariff act to provide stronger barriers against entry of foreign goods has been proposed to congress by administrative officials, the United Press learned today. Treasury officials in charge of collecting revenue under the tariff law assert they have found many instances of “manifest weaknesses” in the existing act. The suggestive changes would clothe officials with greater authority to prevent the entry of foreign merchandise. Specifically, the anti-dumping and convict labor clauses of the law are seen as in need of strengthening. In private conversations with administration leaders in congress, officials have urged the law be amended during the present session. Senator Reed Smoot (Utah) and Representative W. C. Hawley (Oregon), Republican tariff leaders, are fearful, however, such action might reopen the whole tariff controversy and lead to new rate legislation. for a slight reduction in the world’s fighting equipment. Many believe that limitation at the present standard is all that can be achieved now. Moreover, there appears to be a very real desire in high places to extend the limitation begun here ten years ago and carried further at London.

TINY NATIONS' NEW REGIMES WORRY TO U. S. Guatemala, Panama Problems Studied; Nicaraguan Marine Issue Revived. Bn United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—Three distinct problems arising from political disturbances in Central America compelled serious study today by the state department. They involved marine occupation of Nicaragua and the status of new regimes in Guatemala and Panama. Secretary Stimson had before him a senate resolution passed Monday, requesting that all communications and documents connected with marine activities in Nicaragua be submitted to the senate. It was indicated all papers would be surrendered save those whose publication might be “incompatible with the public interest.” Meanwhile, two recent clashes between marines and Nicaraguans, in one of which eight Americans were killed, again compelled the department to consider its future policy in Nicaragua. Demand Marines’ Withdrawal Stimson, in reply to questions, said the United States never had stated flatly how long it would supervise Nicaraguan elections or keep troops there. He recalled that this government, during the Coolidge administration, had indicated to Nicaragua it would be guardian of the ballot-box there at least through the presidential election of 1932. Recent bloodshed apparently is stimulating anew demand by liberal groups that marines be withdrawn from Nicaragua. One petition to this effect was sent to President Hoover by the Women's International League. A resolution asking the President for immediate withdrawal of the marines was introduced Monday by Senator W. H. King (Dem., Utah), but was tabled by the senate. Study Panama Situation The state department still is studying conditions in Panama and Guatemala, where recent revolutions have brought new regimes into power. The department thus far has withheld recognition of Reina Andrade, who was made provisional president by the Guatemalan assembly after Baudilio Palma and Manuel Orallana had held power briefly. It appeared likely the recognition issue would not arise in connection with the new regime in Panama. Dr. Ricardo J. Alfaro, Panaman minister to the United States and presidential designate of the Panaman supreme court, told newspapermen Monday recognition is not at stake. He contended his proposed succession to the post of the deposed President Arosemena would be constitutional. Noblesville Woman Dies £4) Times Bpec in l NOBLESVILLE, Ind., Jan. 6.

DELAY NAMING BABY PRINCESS Nancy Miller’s Daughter to Be Baptized Next Summer. By United Press PARIS, Jan. 6.—The baptism and naming of the infant daughter of Nancy Miller, maharanee of Indore, will not take place at the great castle of the maharaja near Saint Germaine, in the Seine valley, but in India next summer. The name for one of the ten richest babies in all India will not be selected until the family arrives in India, probably early in the summer. Already, goldsmiths in India are hammering out jewels for the baby and for the basket-throne in which she will lie during the ceremony which will be strictly in accordance with Hindu custom and religion. Hindu women will maintain the traditional vigil for nights before the ceremony, and will furnish the fine brocades and veils which are used in the ceremony. On the occasion, the maharaja is expected to make an elaborate gift of gold and pearls to the mother and to dispense largely among the commoners of his region. The maharaja and maharanee will leave Paris early this month for Switzerland to engage in winter sports. About 95,000 motor vehicles are being operated in Japan, nearly four times as many as were in use in that country five years ago.
