By the Associated Press. STOCKHOLM, Sweden, May 24.— The voters of Sweden will be asked to decide next Seeptember just what reduction they wish in the army and navy of thelr country. Submitting this question to the electorate was necessitated_when the first chamber tonight, by 72 votes to 63, supported the cabinet's proposal for modified re- ductions, while the second chamber by 126 fo 78 supported the proposal of the soclalists for a more radical reduction of national defense. As no compromise between the cliambers is regarded as possible, the estion will be voted upon by the scople at the next regular elections in September. The Trygger ministry remains in ofiice and the new parlia- ment will deal with the defense act. During the past two days the limi- tation of armaments has been de- bated. The foreign minister. speak- ing in a pessimistic vein, emphasized that the league of nations had not become such a factor for Deace @s he hoped it might some time be. U. S.

GIVES HISTORICAL DETAILS Says Judge at First Stood Out for Highest Profits. By the Associated Pres NEW YORK, May 24.—Bernard M. Baruch, chairman of the raw ma- terials sections of the National Coun- cil of Defense during the world war, today characterized as “full of in- accuracles” the account of the at- tempted federalization of the steel {n- dustry given by Elbert H. Gary, chalrman of the United States Steel Corporation, to the American Iron and Steel Institute here last night. “If Judge Gary, as e said, desires the matter to be of ‘permanent re Outfits. payments.

McAdoo was supposed to have been spensor cf the idea, Mr. Baruch as- serted that the general demand for federalization of all industries “arose out of just such difficulties as the government had with Judge Gary and those whom he represented at the beginning of the price-fixing era.” Mr. Baruch related how almost imme- diately after the declaration of war in 1917 he urged Mr. Gary and represen tives of steel companies not to insist cn a price of 4% cents a pouml for ship plates, set by them, “because the price was too high and unfair under the cir- cumstances.” Threat to Take Plants. Previous to a meeting f the War In- dustries Board with representatives of steel companies September 21, 1917, the board had passed a redolution, he said, declaring that “if the steel interests should not be willing to give their full co-operation because of the prices fixed the War Industries Board would take necessary steps to take over the steel plants™ Based_on concl own familiarity with the conditions in the steel industry, J. Leonard Replogle, director of steel for the War Industries Board, and others of the board, fixed a price of 3 cents a pound for steel plates, Mr. Baruch declared. The necessity for this “schedule,” he asserted, “was demonstrated by the fact that a few days previously a very large tonnage of steel plates was sold by one of the steel companies to one of the associated governments at 14 cents a pound, a hitherto unheard-of price At the September 21 meeting. Mr. Baruch said, Mr. Gary held out for a higher price, but finally arbitrated at substantially’ Mr. Replogle’s figure. “While we have excellent co-opera- tion of the steel industry as a unit,” Mr. Baruch sald, “there were some individuals In it who could not at first entirely subordinate commer- cialism to war needs, and President Wilson informed me that If the war program was being delayed, or if it industry under government this would be done. “The only other time federaliza- tion was discussed was at a meeting of the war cabinet in the summer of 1918, this time I was chairman of the war Industries boar must say for the steel industr Judge y that, after finally having been induced to co-operate, they did it generously and thoroughly ¢ nclusion then, and strengthened in the that in time of su gency as war it i8 necessars to conscript men, mone for the national servi ions of the Federal Eclipsing every previ- ous offering, this store again presents for the approval of the furni- ture-buying public this // stupendous and amaz- ing sale of Summer could be accelerated by putting any | control. | HE HAS WORMS All dogs have worms—puppies especi- ally—and must be wormed regul.g:lcy.
