Under the system at that time the Treasurer’s accounts were render- ed monthly as soon as all drafts for the month were paid. . “The non-payment of the salary drafts of Mr. Lincoln held up the Treasurer's accounts. The matter ran along for a year or miore, when Treas. urer Spinner called on President Lin- coln, and after some general conversa- tion asked him if he did not get monthly drafts for his salary as Presi- dent of the United States.

Washington theaters using mov- able scenery on the stage were or- dered yesterday by the District Com- missioners to insta!l either steel or asbestos curtains which will meet the requirements of the building regula- tions. WITH POWERS (Continued from First Page.) a proposal by Great Britain to get away entirely from submarines. The view of the United States at that time also was averse to the abandonment of the submarine. The original Hughes proposal, covering all kinds of naval craft, gave to Great Britain and the United States 90,000 | tons of submarines, and to Japan | 54.000 tons. while France and Italy | were to have approximatel the ton- nage they then had. But France in sisted that if Great Britaln was to have 90,000 tons of submarines, France should have the same. The fat was in the fire. It is the fear that Great Britain and France may not have modi their attitude toward the submarine and other auxillary craft which has caused pessimism here over the pro- pored naval limitation conference. Secretary Kellogg in his letter to the House forelgn affairs committee sets forth clearly the opposing posi- tions regarding arms limitation taken by the United States and France. He does not name France but mentions “one scnool of thought” which em- bodies the theory of France on arms limitation. Answers Some Misgivings. “I learn,' said Ml; léell:‘r:..' t;\:etl certain members of ‘oni some misgivings as to the deairability of appropriating funds for our further participation in the work of the pre- paratory commission on the lm‘\_sw ton and reduction of armaments. The Secretary said those misgiving were based on the idea the prepara- tory conference had accomplished nothing. This, he said, was a mis- take. He continued: ¢ cannot be justly said that there has been no progress, although it is as yet too soon to prophesy with any certainty as to how far definite achievements 1l prove practicable, but it is the view of this Govern- ment that so long as there Is any hope of attaining definite results it would be inconsistent with our tradl- tional policy for us to withhold our full co-operation. “When the preparatory commis- __ | conference sion met there were many divergent views expressed as to what constl- tuted practical solutions for the vari- ous problems set forth in the ques- tionnaire. These problems were re- ferred to various technical subcom- mittees, which, after discussing them during several months, succeeded in eliminating a number of conflicting views and narrowed the fleld to two principal schools of thought. One Viewpoint Stated. “One school of thought, which is representative of the views of a group of governments chiefly situated with- in a limited area of the European continent, may be generally indicated by five of its fundamental principles: “(1) That security must be guaran- teed by some form of military assist- ance against aggression as a neces- sary condition precedent to the reduc- tion and limitation of armaments. “(2) That agreements for the reduc- tion and limitation of armaments must be guaranteed by an international in- spection and control of the military establishments to ascertain whether treaty obligations were being faith- fully executed. 3) That there exists a complete interdependence of armaments and that it is impossible to deal with any single category (land, sea or air) without simultaneously dealing with' the others. Industrial Factor Rated. “4) That it is not sufficient to deal with the actual peacetime armaments of nations but that industrial, finan- clal, economic and other factors must be taken into account in any general scheme that may be drawn up. 5) That any agreements on the limitation and reduction of armaments in order to be effective must be uni- versal and there must be a single standard system applicable to all coun- tries of the world. “This scheme appears to us to in- volve 8o many complicated and dif- ficult factors that its adoption would retard rather than forward the limi- | tation and reduction of armaments. | Monthly Connecticut Courts. $68.97, includes monthly.

Main 9804 ON NAVAL PLAN Consequently at the beginning of the the American celegation presented certain principls for tne considration which may be Ltriefly as follows. “(1) That there should be a direct uestions of limita- out awaiting complicated measur or providing security, in the bellef that the cause of security will be prompted through the reduction and limitation of armaments and the elimination of suspicion and {ll will which can be expected to follow. Element of Good Will. “(2) That in order to be really effective agreements for the reduc- tion and limitation of armaments must be founded upon the respect for treay obligations and a bellef in the good faith of the contracting parties. It is our bellef that any agreements founded upon distrust and providing for a machinery of inspection and control will not only fail to achieve its purpose but will ;‘Irl!lllo"new elements of suspicion and will. “(3) We believe that insistence upon a joint consideration of land, sea and alr armaments will tend to render meedlessly complicated the task of a final conference and will tend to render more difficult achieve- ment in regard to the limitation and reduction of any single category of armament. For that reason we feel that ultimate success lies along the line of isolating from the general problem as many concrete questions as possible and dealing with them in a direct and practical manner; “(4) We fteel that the only prac- tical approach to the question of the the limitation and reduction of arma- ments is through dealing with visible armaments at peace strength. We feel that this is a relativelv simple problem where we are dealing with known quantities and where, through the exercise of patience and good will, we can hope for -constructive achievement. We feel on the other hand, that any scheme involving the complicated and variable industrial. financial and economic factors would tend to inject a needless complica- tion into the problem and render more difficult any hope of real achievement. Regional Reduction Propesed. “(6) Tt is our view that there is no nossibility of devising a system for the limitation and reduction of arma- ments which could be made either ap- plicable or acceptable to all countries of the world and that an attempt to reach a solution would merely mean an indefinite postponement of achieve- ment. We feel that land and air armaments constitute an essentially regional problem and that different solutions can meet the needs of different regions! that naval arma- ment can best be dealt with through direct agreement among a limited number of naval powers. “I may state for your information that when we entered the preparatory confrence in May, 1926, we had no previous arrangements or understand- ings with any government. Our repre- sentatives stated our views at the open meeting and we feel that the six months of discussion which followes l":::’: a;l?;‘nr:':d‘lto ?nfirm the sound- of e stand taken b; nns;;;vu. n by our repre- “This is further confirmed by t! fact that from a position of a'lmol:‘.t! complete isolation at the beginning of the conference our thesis has so far commended itself to other delegations that before the recent adjournment in November almost half of the confer- ence voluntarily came to support our views without "any changes, conces- sions, or abandon: b ment of principle on t seems to e that it has been cordingly, the preparatory commis- many divergent views nnd?urmw the fleld down to a choice between two schools of thought. “This work has been carried on as far as it could be by the technical rep- resentatives who conducted most of the discussions at the first moeting. “At the meeting in March the en- tire problem will be taken up by our political representatives, whose es- sential duty it 1s, so far as possible, to conciliate the conflicting views which 1 have set forth for your information and to prepare an agenda for a gen- eral copference. I may say that w believe that such conciliation is po: sible in that we feel that some fea- tures of the other thesis is tolerant in that it seeks to understand the prob- | lems and requirements of other coun- tries and other regions, and we believe | it is best calculated to lead to direct practical achievement. b ‘Wisdom of Preparation. My purpose in outlining these two schools of thought is to bring out the necessity for the sort of preliminary work that is being done by the pre- paratory commission and the lessness of trying to call a general world conference to conclude treaties until we have reached some measure of agreement as to the problems to be discussed. “Until such agreement is reached, it would be impossible even to draw up a program for a conference, and. ac- cordingly, the preparatory commis- sion will have achieved a full meas- ure of success if it is able to present | & definite agenda acceptable to dll governments. I fell very strongly that in view of our consistent advocacy of the limitation and reduction of armaments we cannot withheold our full and cordial co-operation in any effort of this sort to explore the sub- Ject and facliitate a practical ap- proach to the problem. “Furthermore, I desire to point out, for your consideration, that if after participation in the work of the pre- paratory commission during the six months we now withdraw for lack of necessary funds, it would not be sur- prising if the inference were drawn | in some quarters that we were not sincere in our advocacy of the lim tation and reduction of armaments.” REPLY OF FRANCE TO LIMIT PARLEY, IS PARIS FORECAST (Continued from First Paj naval . experts in Italy's official answer. The Gionale D'Italia says further: “We fear that the Coolidge proposal tries again to bring up for discus- sion certain problems which, first at ‘Washington and then at Rome, did not get a warm reception. We do not object to the idea of Italy's capital ship tonnage being equal to that of any other Mediterranean power, but the same criterion can- not be used in the case of destroyers and submarines, which being purely defensive should be subject to re- gional agreements. If we were to limit the construction of these types of ships we would seriously injure our defensive powers, “Before beginning the discussion we must declare two basic princi- ples—first, the possibility of includ- ing cruisers in the ratios applicable to capital ships, and, second, ahso- lute liberty to construct and use destroyers and submarines and light ships. “We are forced to make these reservations because this is not the first . time an effort has been made to have weak nations renounce their possibility of defense under the cloak of principles of humanity and disarmament. - B0 L2 B At 96, Walter Gibson has ‘just com- pleted his eightieth year as clerk in the same office of the water depart- ment of Arbroath, England. preparation of hope- | BANKING AND RADIO GAG IS THREATENED G. 0.
