FANTASTIG ISSUES UPIN ARMS PARLEY Nature of Soil, Quarries, and Reefs, Added to Pigs as War Factors. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, June ‘The pourparlers in the preliminary disarmament con- ference have reached the realm of the wild and fantistic. Holland last night held the center of the stage in her listing of factors on which the power of a country in war time de- pends—factors which in Dutch opinion constitute armament. For, like France, Holland believes that armaments are the sum total of resources at the disposal of a state for conducting In addition to such things as pigs, fogs and winds. the Holland experts deem armaments, positive or negative, the nature of the soll and whether the soil be marshy, sandy, wooded, undulating, soft, hard, damp or dry. As for the Subsoil, they want to know whether quarries have good or bad influence on underground warfare, and in ad- dition to pigs they place under agri- cultural war factors horses, cattle, sheep and goats. It is when they come down specif- jeally to naval armaments that the Dutch get in fogs and wind, belleving the meteorological condition is an important factor in connection with sea power. They also give impor- tance to the nature of coastal waters, especially their depths and currents, and desire to know whether they con- tain sand banks or reefs. Can you reduce the limit of a pig and should you blow up a reef? are come of the questions which are be- ing asked in Geneva in sarcastic com- ment on the Dutch suggestions. The Americans at the conference do not seem to be losing patience, but they are beginning to look worried lest the disarmament conference should degenerate into a geological or n'n‘rm'rulogiml survey and stick there.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, TWO-THIRDS RULE | " CAPAIGN ACTIVE Opponents Hope for Majority Against It Before Next Democratic Conve,flion. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Whether it is due to a partisan con- viction that the popularity of Presi- dent Coolidge is on the wane or whether it is due to the natural restlessness of the political mortal, the Democratic national leaders are busy people these days. The movement to abolish the two- thirds rule in the Democratic con- ventions is gaining headway because what amounts to an organized cam- palgn is behind it. In the South, | where the possibility of the unit rule being tied up to the two-thirds rule might be expected to furnish an ob- stacle to any change in the existing rules, the reports indicate a shift of sentiment. Leaders in Tennessee, Georgia and Kentucky are coming out for the principle of a nomination by the majority. “One-Way Veto.” “The South is no longer convinced,” says George . Milton, one of the Mec- Adoo leaders from Tennessee, who has been organizing the fight against the two-thirds ryle, “that the two- thirds rule gives it a veto. It feels rather that the veto is possessed by the Eastern Tammany group and is a one-way veto.” While it is recognized that there is no direct connection in the rules be- tween the voting of delegations in a unit and the proviso that a candids must get two-thirds of the b cast, nevertheless it is recognized that the two will be considered jointly when the mater comes before the national convention. As the price of agree- ment to the abolition of the two-thirds rule, the Northern and Eastern Demo- crats will ask that the delegations agree to abandon the unit system of voting, so that individual delegates will count. It is not necessary for the next na- tional convention to cast a’ two-thirds vote in order to change the method of balloting, unless, of course, the rules have already been adopted and there is a desire to suspend them. In other 1 words, when the committee on rules presents its report a majority vote is all that is necessary. The difficulty at the last convention was that the com- mitte report had already been adopted and it would have required two-thirds to change it, just as it would have taken two-thirds to nominate. Want Candidacies Separated. The hope of the sponsors of the movement is that they can reach the convention floor with the proposition on its merits entirely divorced from candidacies. That's why they are trying to get pledges a long time in advance. Whether these pledges will stand up in the face of a concrete political situation is another question For while the national committeemen and committee women may have a good deal to say ahead of time, they are not always controlling factors in the State delegations, especially un- der the primary system. If by the time the next convention is held it becomes apparent that the effort to abolish the two-thirds rule and substitute a majority vote has been started by McAdoo men and carried forward with the hope of nominating the former Secretary of the Treasury, there will be a fight on the convention floor against the change in rules. But the situation will have this difference—that if the Mcadoo men have a majority of the delegates they can win. They did not succeed in getting a majority of the delegates during any of the many ballots taken last time. It the McAdoo champions were to announce their decision not to place him in the race and if the friends of Al Smith were to do likewise, the movement to change the rules might be consirued as a measure entirely apart from effect on individual can- didacles. But both men are in the race, and the “favorite sons” who are expecting to oust both realize that the one-third veto is a strong lever of in- fluence, and they will not give it up without a struggle. Mu;t Pass Examinations. On the recommendation of the Sec- retary of the Interior and the Civil Service Commission, the President has issued an Executive order revoking the provision of the civil service rules which permitted the appointment of scouts, buffalo keepers, assistant buf- falo keepers and park rangers in the national _parks mination.

Premier Ahmed Ziwar Pasha, who has been in office since 1924, has presented the resigna- tion of hig cabinet to King Fuad, and the King requested him to remain in office to carry on routine business un- til a declsion is reached as to whether Zagloul Pasha, the nationalist leader, or Adly Yegen Pasha is to be called in to form a ministry. Supporters of Zagloul are sanguine. They express the opinion that Eng- land now has a definite opportunity to se"ule the Egyptian problem once for all. new British high commissioner in Egypt, must respect the popular vote in the last elections, in which Zag loul’s partisans carried the majority of the seats, and that the British au- thoritles must call Zagloul to power to head the victorious coalition.
