From the standpoint of education he was probably the best equipped man that has held his of- fice. He was pooriy equipped, how- ever, in that he was devoid of the instinct of a politician. Whether or not he was unable to use the meth. Even with Wilson off the field of ac- tion, the American people will ap- proach a consideration of the things which he advocated. They will change them, modify them, perhaps repudiate, them, but they will con- sider them with intelligence.”’ ————— ARMS TRAFFIC TO BE TAKEN -UPBYLEAGUE GENEVA, Feb. 7.—(By The Asso- elated Press.)—The disarmament committee of the League of Nations, which has been in session here the past few days, decided today to hold @ subsequent meeting in Paris, he- sinning March 24, to draft a definite convention for the control of the international traffic in arms.

At the the committee decided its efforts to examine further the central figure in the investigation — Albert B. Fall, former secretary of the interior, who has refused to testify under claim of constitutional immunity. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. —Further efforts to ques- tion Albert B, Fall, central figure in the senate oil in- vestigation, were abandoned today by the oil committee. The decision was reached upon advice of the special government counsel in the oll. cases, Silas H. Strawn and Atlee Pomerene, They Tecommended against permitting Mr. Fall to testify unless he waived immunity. After considering the recommen- dation of counsel for an hour, the committee adopted this motion by Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana: “The witness, Albert B. Fall, hav- ing refused to answer any questions that might be put to him touching the matter under investigation by the committee on the ground that his evidence might tend to incrimi- nate him and the committee being advised by counsel that the statute providing that a witness should not be excused from testifying before a congressional committee on such ground being less broad in its scope than the constitutional guaranty, so that proceedings for comtempt or by indictment against the witness for contumacy would probably fall, and that if the witness proceeded to tes- tify before the committee under pro- test he might gain immunity from prosecution and the committee be- ing advised by the attorney for the Witness that his purpose to stand on his constitutional rights is irrevo- cable, I move that the subpoena is- sued for the witness, Albert B, Fall, be vacated and that he be released from further attendance of the com- mittee."
