GENEVA, May 8.—Japan went on | record today as favoring a strict in- terdiction of the poison gas in war. D. Matsuda, Japanese delegate to the League of Nations international con- ference for the control of traffic in arms and munitions, made this declaration in a speech ardently sup- porting the proposal made yesterday by Representative Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, head of the gzation, that all export of poison gas for use in war be prohibited. The American proposal was referred to two subcommittees, military and judical: the Polish amendment con- demni the use of disease bacteria in warfare was referred to the same committees Mr. Matsuda said that reac a party to the poison gas agreement made during the Washing- ton arms conference and declared that in prohibitin® the exportation of poison gas for war purposes it also should be understood that such methods of warfare are forbidden by international law. He urged Japan al- of the problem thoroughly. Turks Offer The Turkish delegation heartily upported the American proposal, but 1zreed with the Hungarian delegation that the rights of states that do not manufacture gas to employ gas if they are so attacked should be re- spected, and their opportunity for de fense should not be removed by too rigid a ban on exportation. The an amendment providing that arm: may be exported to any government “that has been duly constituted in ac- cordance with the provisions of thi constitution in force in that country This, it was said, is intended to prevent civil strife by restricting the facilities for securing war supplies. he Chinese and Rumanian delega- tions opposed the amendment. The Chinese said it afforded an oppor unity for discrimination because if iny manufacturing country disliked a new government in any other country it could argue that it was unconstitu- tionally anized. The Chinese said this tould be dangerous to interna- tional relations. The Rumanians de- clared that the league covenant recog- nizes the right of all countries procure means of defense. Amendment.

By the Associated Press. Chairman Butler of the House naval committee said today he would urge legislation at the next session of Con- gress to make the Hawaiian Islands “the strongest military outpost in the world. Members of the House naval com- mittee, he said, would leave early in June for the islands to obtain first- hand information on what would be required to accomplish this purpose. As chairman of the naval commit- tee, Mr. Butler has asked Secretary Wilbur in writing to arrange for the trip, which the chairman said would be an “entirely official one.” Mr. Butler revealed his intention in reply to a question asked by the As- sociated Py to whether he de- sired to make any statement regarding the recent joint Army and Navy war | maneuvers at Hawaii.

The naval committee, he added. will accompanied on its trip by high al officials, and a thorough survey made of the needs of the islands, with particular reference to Pearl Harbor. Mr. Butler declared that for some time he has thought that the Hawailan group should be more thor- oughly fortified. “I am still of that opinion,” he continued. “The proposal to fortify the islands does not mean I am op- posed to the World Court or disarma- ment. I hope these things may be brought about, but I am beginning to doubt whether other nations are in earnest about disarmament. am wrong. Mr. Butler said the recent maneu- vers had in no way influenced his views as to fortifying the islands, be- cause “all I know about the maneuvers is what I have read in the press.” be British Move Unknown. “I know nothing,” he added, “about what the British propose to do at Singapore.

By the Associated Prese WHEELING, W. Va., May §.—A de- cision upholding the contention of the United Mine Workers of America that peaceful persuasion of miners to join the union in the West Virginia strike zone was not a violation of an injunc- tion of 1913, was handed down today by Federal Judge W. E. Baker. After announcing his decision in the ontempt proceedings instituted by the West Virginia-Pittsburgh Coal Com- pany against 17 international and dis trict officers of the union, Judge Baker declared in open court that srant no further injunctions until he had heard arguments on the merits of any such case. The court set next Monday as the day for a hearing to decide whether the union officers had violated provi sions of the 1913 injunction against acts of violence. The 1913 injunction, granted by Judge A. G. Dayton to the coal com- pany cers and members from organization activities in the Panhandle coal field. where a general strike was called by the United Mine Workers on_April 16 fast, was modified by the United States Circuit Court of permit “peaceful persuasion.” These modifications, the union contend, were contained in Judge Baker's order of 1923, perpetuating the original in- junction. Counsel for the union claimed that the defendants were not guilty of contempt, because the charges were brought under the 1913 injunction, and failed to take into consideration the modifications Attorneys for the company cited a similar injunction granted to the Hitchman Coal Co.. in which the United States Supreme Court re- versed the Court of Appeals and rein- stated the 1913 decree. This deci- sion of the Supreme Court, they claimed. would” also apply to the West Virginia-Pittsburgh Coal Co. cas Among those named in the con- tempt proceedings’ were John L.

Fru Backer made an impassioned | plea for a more secure income, saving | that the life of the council itself de pended on it Mrs. Willoughby Cumminzs, the | convener of the finance committee. said that the budgzet committee had determined that 2,000 pounds was the minimum income with which the work could be carried on Can Afford More Now. Fru Backer said that when the in ternational council was established, in 1888, the dues were set at $20 a year because at that time practically every woman was dependent on her husband for her income. Since then, she said women of every country have been | liberated, so that they can earn their own incomes and hence afford more | dues. The annual income never has | equaled the annual expenses, she s | “The openings for the ideals of international council are greater to- day than ever before,” she said.

Iceland has less than 10,000. Each nation is en titled to ten votes in the conventions and each is assessed the same dues.
