ENVOYS TO ARMS

CONFERENCE

IDIIG'S PLEA President Tells World's Statesmen That U. S. Wants Less Armament. WARNS AGAINST INTRIGUE Executive Voices Hope for Interna tlonal Peace and a Better Understanding Among Nations Says United States Has No Unworthy Designs. Washington, Nov. 14. America took leadership Saturday In the first movement in history for the elimination of international menaces that threaten civilization with future war. Reduced to simple terms, the United States seeks: First To prevent competition among the great powers in the construction of war machinery naval, land and air. Second To remove sources of international friction In the Pacific ocean zone that may lead to future conflict. Hecogrdzing the general belief that the Par Past is the new danger spot, America has sought the co-operation of eight other powers with vital interests In the Orient to allay the danger of a "next world war." This is generally regarded as the greatest humanitarian crusade In the history of mankind. Put It Is also a practical scheme for material relief from the overwhelming burden of taxation and debt. Meeting Is Unique In History. The veteran diplomats of Europe who have participated in every important International parley for the past half century characterized this meeting as unique in world history a meeting called In advance of war, designed to prevent war, and a voluntary coming together of the great nations to limit the size of each other's armies and navies. The President spoke from the head of the great Ü-shaped table, around which sat In rapt attention the statesmen of Europe and Asia. To the right of him sat Prance and Japan, to the left Great Pritaln and Italy, and down at the far end of the horseshoe were the representatives of China, Pelglum and Portugal. On either side of him at the head of the table were the head of America's representatives. The galleries were crowded with the entire membership of house and senate, members of the cabinet, justices of the Supreme court and diplomats. Text of Harding's Address. President Harding delivered the following address at the opening of the armament conference here: Mr. Secretary and Members of the Conference, Ladies and Gentlemen: It Is a great and happy privilege to bid the delegates to this conference a cordial welcome to the capital of the United States of America. It Is not only a satisfaction to greet you because we were lately participants In a common cause, In which shared sacrifices and sorrows and triumphs brought our nations more closely together, but it Is gratifying to address you as the spokesman for nations whose convictions and attending actions have so much to do with the weal or woe of all mankind. Will influence Human Progress. It Is not possible to over appraise the Importance of such a conference. It Is no unseemly honst, no disparagement of other nations which, though not represented, are held In highest respect, to declare that the conclusions of this body will have a signal influence on all human progress on the fortunes of the world. Here is a meeting, I can well believe, which is an earnest of the awakened conscience of twentieth-century civilization. It Is not a convention of remorse, nor a session of sorrow. It Is not the conference of victors to define terms of settlement. Nor Is it a council of nations seeking to remake humankind. It is rather a coming together, from all parts of the earth, to apply the better attributes of mankind to minimize the faults in our international relationships. Call of War-Wearied World. Speaking as official sponsor for the Invitation, I think I may say the call is not of the United States of America alone, it Is rather the spoken word of a war-wearied world, struggling for restoration, hungering and thirsting for better relationship; of humanity crying for relief and craving assurance of lasting peace. It is easy to understand this worldwide aspiration. The glory of triamph. the rejoicing in achievement, the love of liberty, tho devotion of country, the pangs of sorrow, the burdens of debts, the desolation of ruin all these are appraised alike In nil lands. Here In the United States we are but fresh' turned from the burial of an unknown American soldier, when a nation sorrowed while paying him tribute. Whether It was spoken or not, a hundred millions of our people were summarizing the inexcusable causes, the Incalculable cot. the unspeakable sacrifices and the unutterable sorrows, and there was the ecr-lmpelling tpiestion: How can humanity justify or (Jod forgive? Hudhii hate demands no such toll; ambi

w . - " - then let us banish It, and let understanding rule and make good will regnant everywhere. All Demand Liberty and Justice. All of us demand liberty and Justice. There ca not be one without the other, and they must be held the unquestioned possession of all peoples. Inherent rights are of God and the tragedies of the world originate In their attempted denial. The world today Is Infringing their enjoyment by arming to defend or deny, when simple sanity calls for their recognition through common understanding. Out of the cataclysm of the World war came new fellowships, new convictions, new aspirations. It is ours to make the most of them. A world staggering with debt needs its burden lifted. Humanity, which has been shocked by wanton destruction, would minimize the agencies of that destruction. Contemplating the measureless cost of war and the continuing burden of armament, all thoughtul peoples wish for real limitation of armament and would like war outlawed. In soberest reflection the world's hundreds of mllll' ins who pay In peace and die in war wish their statesmen to turn the expenditures for destruction into means of construction, aimed at a higher state for those who live and follow after. War Growing More Cruel. It Is not alone that the world cannot readjust itself and cast aside the excess burdens without relief from the leaders of men. War has grown progressively cruel and more destructive from the first recorded conflict to this pregnant day, and the reverse order would more become our boasted civilization. Gentlemen of the conference, the United States welcomes you with unselfish hands. We harbor no fears; we have no sordid ends to serve; we suspect no enemy ; we contemplate or apprehend no conquest. Content with what we- have, we seek nothing which Is another's. We only wish to do with you that liner, nobler thing which no nation can do alone. We wish to sit with you at the table of International understanding and good will. In good conscience, we are eager to meet you frankly, and Invite and offer co-operation. The world demands a sober contemplation of the existing order and the realization that there can be no cure without sacrifice, not by one of us, but by all of us. No Pride Need Be Humbled. I do not mean surrendered rights, or narrowed freedom, or denied aspirations, or ignored national necessities. Our republic would no more ask for these than it would give. Xo pride need be humbled, no nationality submerged, but I would have a mergence of minds committing all of us to less preparation for war and more enjoyment of fortunate peace. The higher hopes come of the spirit of our coming together. It Is but just to recognize varying needs and peculiar positions. Nothing can be accomplished in disregard of national apprehensions. Rather we should act together to remove the causes of apprehensions. This is not to be done In intrigue. Greater assurance Is found In the exchange of simple honesty and directness, among men resolved to accomplish as becomes leaders among nations, when civilization itself has come to Its crucial test. All Want Less Armament. It is not to be challenged that government fails when the excess of Its cost robs the people of the way to happiness and the opportunity to achieve. If the finer sentiments were not urging, the cold, hard facts of excessive costs and the eloquence of economics would urge us to reduce our armaments. If the concept of a better order does not appeal, then let us ponder the burden and the blight of continued competition. It is not to be denied that the world lias swung along throughout the ages without heeding this call from the kindlier hearts of men. Put the same world never before was so tragically brought to realization of the utter futility of passion's sway when reason and conscience and fellowship point a nobler way. I can speak officially only for the United States. One hundred millions frankly want less of armament and none of war. Wholly free from guile, sure in our own minds that we harbor no unworthy designs, we accredit the world with the same good Intent. So I welcome you, not alone In good will and high purpose, but with high faith. Service to All Mankind. We are mej for a service to mankind. In all simplicity, In all honesty and all honor, there may be written here the avowals of a world conscience refined by the consuming fires of war. and made more sensitive by the anxious aftermath. I hope for that understanding which will emphasize the guarantees of peace, and for commitments to less burdens and a better order which will tranquilize the world. In such an accomplishment there will be added glory to your flags and ours, and the rejoicing of mankind will make the transcending music of all succeeding time. Statesmen Closety Guarded. Washington. Nov. 14. An unusually heavy guard was thrown about Continental Hall, where the first session of the armament conference was held, a a result of the receipt of a number of threatening letters by high otficials of the State department. Increased precaution were also taken to protect the distinguished statesmen from all parts of the world who are here fir the conference. Pvery precaution has been taken to prevent any untoward incident which might disturb the conference or the conferees.

Minton, who has charge of the legal division of the federal prohibition department in Indiana.

Terre lhute. Coal production was resumed in Indiana following a live days' suspension in protest against an order made by Judge A. P. Anderson in the United States District court at Indianapolis, restraining operators from continuing the check-off system of collecting dues for the United Mine Workers of America.

So that residents of South Pend may not go without work during the winter, a municipal employment bureau has been established, the same being supported by the city, county and the chamber of commerce. It is not the Intention to place transients in jobs, efforts being confined exclusively to keeping South Pend residents busy. Indications are that there will be little unemployment in South Pend during the winter because of the great variety of manufacturing establishments. While some of the plants have reduced their forces from 15 to -0 per cent, other concerns have Increased their employment list and are still planning to place additional men at work with the opening of the new year. Indianapolis. Coventor McCray has begun holding the cabinet meetings which he announced some time ngo he would hohl to discuss with state department chiefs the business of the state. Letters received by all state department heads from the (Jovernor read: "For some time I have felt it would he a good plan for all state department beads to hold frequent conferences for the discussion of matters In which we are all interested. At this particular time it seems in order that we should come together and talk over elliclency and economy in the administration of our various departments. I would like therefore to have you come to the executive olMees to confer on subjects of tills character as well as any others that may assist In the successful administration of the r.ffairs of the state." Indianapolis. The ticker gives the following as the United States department of agriculture's report on the Indiana corn crop: The corn crop l ow being harvested is, with the exception of the 1P17 crop, the poorest In point of quality that has been pnduced on Indiana farms In many years, although the average yield Is practically the same as the ten-year average. Last year only S per cent was not merchantable, this year 120 per cent, or 47,4oO,(X) bushels Is unmerchantable. Kar worms proved to be more damaging than any other single agency. The mould damage and dry rot are both very extensive. To offset the heavy damage, however, there is a carryover from last year of approximately 2OJ49,00O bushels, leaving a net total of merchantable of 130,410,000 bushels. Indianapolis.

Tell City. The Krogman distillery warehouse was entered and tho contents of IS barrels of whisky, all that the warehouse contained at tho time, were removed. Two five-gallon cans of oil were poured on the floor and roof of the building, which was then set on fire. Old sacks, unburned, and well saturated with oil, were found on the lloor. The alrtlghtness of the building prevented Its destruction. Pedford. The largest one-piece stone columns ever produced in the Indiana stone district are being turned out by a stone company at its quarry and mill In Pedford.

Madison county farmers say that, since a dozen eggs at the present price is worth more than two bushels of corn ami thata good lien will sell for more than live bushels of ;ats. they are going to devote more attention to the raising of poultry. A poultry specialist of Purdue university, who accompanied the county agricultural agent In a tour, was surprised at the number of farmers who are raising large flocks of chickens and who say they are going to devote, more time to jHniltry than grain. Jeffersonville. Farmers in Jeffer sonviile say that the practice of shucking their own corn is being followed by many, if not most farmers, on account of the cost of paying for It and the low price at which corn is selling. The liest new corn brings only 40 cents and laborers are still asking 20 to 20 centsfor shucking. If the corn yield is good this may be as low as 7 or S cents a bushel for shucking, but as most of the corn this year was poor the yield Is proportionately low and the cost of shucking in some cases as high as 10 or 12 cents.
