' Delegates to the eighth annual gen- eral assembly of the Daughters of the American Colonists convened in ths first formal session of the assembly in the Hotel Washington today. The meeting was devoted to brief patriotic exercises and reports by national of- ficers and committee chairmen, which will be continued at the session this afternoon. ‘The meeting was called to order by the national president, Mrs. Livingston L. Hunter, and invocation was delivered by the national chaplain, Mrs. William H. Talbott. The delegates then joined in reciting “The American’s Creed” and sang two verses of “America.” Greetings Are Delivered. Greetings were delivered at the morn- ing session by Mrs. George Thacher Guernsey, honorary national president and past national president of the or- ganization and past president gencral of the Daughters of the American Rev- olution, and by Mrs. Hunter. Minutes of the last annual meeting were read by Mrs. Harry C. Grove, national re- cording secretary. Vice presidents of the organization for different sections of the country reported progress. ‘The assembly will be concluded this afternoon with additional reports, adop- tion of resolutions and transaction of other business. There will be no elec- tion of officers as the body elects only every three years and the last election was held last year, making the next regular election due in 1931. ‘The membership of the Daughters of the American Colonists is composed of descendants of either civil or mili- tary’ officers’ in the early American Colonies.

(Continued From First Page.) departing from his set speech to refer to the “hopeful” statement of Lord Cushendun, British delegate, last week. Points Out Essentials. “I desire to lay emphasis on the fact,” | he said, “that for us the essential thing is achievement of substantial results, Methods are of secondary importance. My Government is dis] to give full and friendly consideration to any supplementary methods of limitation which may be calculated to make our proposals—the French thesis or any other—acceptable to other powers. If such a course appears desirable my Gov- ernment will be prepared to give con- sideration to a method of estimating equivalent naval values which will take account of other factors than displace- ment tonnage alone. In order to arrive at a basis of com- parison in the case of categories in which there are marked variations as to unit characteristics, it might be desir- able in arriving at a formula for esti- mating equivalent tonnage to consider certain factors which produce these va- riations, such as' age, unit of displace- ment and caliber of guns, ‘World Changes Noted. Mr. Gibson asked the conference to bear in mind recent world changes, and he pointed out that most of the nations had bound themselves by solemn under- taking to renounce war as an instrument of national policy. After making this allusion to the Kellogg pact, he said: ‘We believe that this agreement affirming humanity’s will to peace will advance the cause of disarmament by re- moving doubts and fears which, in the past, have constituted our principal ob- stacle. Recently it has been my privilege to discuss the general problem of disor- mant at considerable length with Presi- dent Hoover, who has always been an ardent advocate of peace and good understanding. I am in a position to realize how earnestly he feels that the pact for re- nunciation of war opens to us unpre- cedented opportunity for advancing the cause of disarmament an opportunity which admits of no postponement. Mr. Gibson expressed his conviction that as long as the world approached the problem of disarmament upon the basis of old fears and old suspicions | there remained little hope of results. Spirit of Peace Pact. If we are honest, if the solemn prom- ise of our past means anything, there is no justification for continuation of a war-taxed peace. “Great armaments are but the relic of another age, but they will remain a necessary relic until the present dead- lock is broken and that can be accom- plished only by a decision of the pow- ers possessing the greatest armaments to_initiate measures of reduction.” Hé recalled that at the tripartite conference at Geneva he had announced American readiness to agree to a plan of limitation at still lower levels which | would maintain the relative status of existing treaties with respect to powers represented at that conference. “This is still the attitude of my Gov- ernment,” he declared. “We are willing to agree to any reduction, however drastic, of naval tonnage which leaves no type of war vessel unrestricted.” Land Forces Mentioned. Mr. Gibson declared America would idefer to countries primarily interested in land armaments with such measures 1 of concession as he trusted would facili- tate agreement among them, remark- ing that for the United States, how- ever, the question of defense primarily was a naval problem. He said the country had never found reason to modify his views that the simplest, fairest, most practical methsd of limi- tation is by categories. Mr. Gibson then detailed a number | of the arguments for disarmament, such as burdensome costs, non-productive employment, and the like. In closing he declared the United States is convinced she needs no exact balance of ships and guns which can be based only on the idea of conflict and that what really was wanted was a common sense agreement based on be friends and settle their problems by peaceful means. “My Government feels that genuine disarmament will follow only from a change of attitude toward 'a use of force in the settlement of international disputes,” he concluded. “Therefore, I venture to make this appeal, that coun- tries examine the entire problem afresh in the hope .they will find in general world conditions and in the solemn obligation they have taken among them- selves essurance as to their security and that they will find in this the con- fidence to enable them to dispense with armaments which have hitherto seemed 50 essential.” BOLD GESTURE SEEN.

(an allusion to the ex- pressed British desire for reduction in size of battleships). “Thus we showed our willingness to carry further the principle of reduc- tion,” he declared. He then referred to Mr. Gibson's allusion to the equiv- alent of naval values and said he under- stood from reference that the American Government had been examining th: problem with the object of arriving at some system of equiv- alent values based on other factors than mere tonnage. “We entirely agree that it is along thosz lines we ought to investigate the problem,” he said. “The British government has also been studying this problem, but before we can hope to achieve anything we should have the advice of -experts, Careful Study Pledged. “I am certain that any suggestions of this sort from the American Govern- ment will be examined most carefully by the British government. 1 welcome the whole spirit in which Mr. Gibson has spoken and I feel my_colleagues will feel the same because he has spoken in a spirit helpful to our work. His declaration cannot be passed over here because it is likely profoundly to affect our whole work.” Lord Cushendun followed by N. Sato of Japan, who announced Tokio had also been studying the question of categories of warships and was likely to have some proj to make. He stressed Japan’s welcome of the cordial, friendly spirit of the American decla- ration. Count Massigli spoke for France. He characterized the American’s statement as one of conciliation and realization. He said the controversy as to the best method of limiting navies had waged two years and he emphasized that Prance always preferred the flexible method of combining total tonnage with tonnage by categories of warships. It was clear, he concluded, that the United States was now ready to find a solution along this line and he assured his hear- ers that France was ready to facilitate progress. Soviet Sees Progress. Maxim Litvinoff, the Soviet spokes- man, seized upon Mr. Gibson’s recom- mendation to scrap the word “limita- tion” as applied to lessening of arma- ment burdens as proving that the.United States was supporting something pre- viously launched by the Soviet dele- gation. He criticized Lord Cushendun for having stigmatized the Soviet proposals as not serious and as unworthy the work of the commission. He said he did not know whether the American had spoken in support of the Soviet pro- posal or’ in spite of it, but what was important, he contended, was that the | P! principles necessary to work had been supported by a delegation of one of the leading powers. Canada In Accord. ‘W. A. Riddell of Canada welcomed the declarations of the great naval powers. He expressed the hope that the Kellogg pact, to which MNr. Gibson had referred as opening an unprece- dented opportunity for advancing the cause of disarmament, and the other security agreements would be.appraised at _their full value. . Never before had the nations of the world been in a better ition for the maintenance of peace at present, he declared, adding that Canada was willing and anxious to lend every aid in bringing about to the fullest extent a pols&ible realization of constructive re- sults. EXTRA DAY’S LIFE GIVEN DEBT PARLEY AWAITING GERMANS (Continued From First Page.) even the doubting Thomases that our’ capacity to pay is not greater than I stated, and that Germany’s capacity can be increased only if her ability to pro- duce is increased.” Views Held in Paris. Here it was believed this statement and a prior cabinet communique at Berlin implying freedom of action of Dr. Schacht and his colleague, Dr. Albert Voegler, had in no way been im- paired, indicated another statement of the political conditions which disrupted the conference proceedings last week might be made. ‘There was little way of determining in advance what would be the effect of such restatement of these conditions. Last Thursday the allied nation dele- gates inferred the Germans sought re- turn of the Saar Basin, Upper Silesia, the Polish Corridor and certain former German colonies. A restatement, it was presumed, would be for the sake of clarifying the seemingly intransigeant position of Thursday, and of bolster- ing Dr. Schacht’s claims he was “mis- interpreted.” = With Dr. Schacht’s return there seemed indefinite confirmation that the Germans want the conference to be continued, if only in the hope of a “provisional agreement”—as one Ger- man here expressed it—which might mean an agreement covering the next few annuities, the definite settlement to be left to some later date. How Allied Experts Feel. Among the allied nation experts the feeling was entirely different. Not un- less Dr. Schacht showed an inclination to better his offer of 1,650,000,000 marks about $396,000,000) as & first annuity by at least 150,000,000 marks, and pro- vide for a rising annuity scale after that date, was it felt any compromise with him was possible. Resentment at what all held to be a direct intrusion of political conditions in an economic conference continued, swelled perhaps, rather than abated, Procedure in event of continuation of the meetings probably would be first a request by the Germans for further dis- cussion, second a demand by Owen B. Young, chirman, for a revised proposal from the Germans, and third a request from the Germans for a few days to think the matter over. In any case it was not thought that the active work of the conference would go beyond-the end of the week. LONDON SEES NO CRISIS. sult of Failure. LONDON, April 22 (#)~It was not believed here reversion to the Dawes plan, which seemed imminent today with failure of reparations conference at Paris impending, would bring about eacute crisis Eul “There eaanever be a Embittered Feeling Held Probable Re- | been real gettlement # i td"mflnued From First Page.) able ‘when we reach this question in our discussion to defer to the countries primarily interested in land armaments with such measure of concession as I trust -will m%fly facilitate agree- ment among g My country’s defense is primarily a naval problem. The American Govern- ment has found no reason for modify- ing its view that the simplest, fairest and most practical method is that of limitation by tonnage by categories, a method which has been given prac- tical and satisfactory application in the Washington treaty. ‘While it is realized that this does not constitute an exact and scientific gauge of strategic strength, we have never- theless found that it constitutes a method which has the advantage of simplicity and of affording to each power the freedom to utilize its ton- nage within the limitation of each category according to its special needs. New Solution Sought. ‘The American delegation has urged this view throughout the first reading, but, in view of the inacceptability to some other delegations of our unmodi- fled thesis, my Government has sought in the various methods presented some solution which might offer the pos- sibility of compremise and general ac- ceptance. During the third session of the ~ Preparatory Commission, the French delegation brought forward a method which was an attempt to eom- bine its original total tonnage proposals with the method of tonnage by categories. Under this method, a total tonnage was assigned to each nation and this total divided among categories of ships by specified tonnages. If I am not mistaken, certain modifications were suggested in informal discussions, so as to provide that the tonnage allocated to any given category might be increased by a certain percentage to be agreed upon, such increase to be transferred from any other category or categories not already fixed by existing treaty. In the hops of facilitating general agreement as to naval armaments, my Government is disposed to accept the French proposal as a basis of discussion. 1t is, of course, the understanding of my Government that this involves an agreement upon the method alone and not upon any quantitative tonnages or the actual precentages to be transferred from one category to another. Al quantitative proposals of any kind should properly be reserved for discus- sion by a final conference. Ready to Co-Operate. My government is disposed to give full and friendly consideration to any sypplementary methods of limitation which may be calculated to make our roposals, the French thesis, or anv other acceptable to other powers, and it such a course appears desirable, my government will be prepared to give consideration to a method of estimating equivalent naval values which takes ac- count of otherl factors than displace- ent tonnage alone. mm order go arrive at a basis of com- parison in the case of categories in which there are marked variations as to unit characteristics, it might be desir- able in arriving at & formula for esti- mating equivalent tonnage to consider certain factors which produce these varfations, such as age, unit displace- ment and caliber of guns. My govern- ment has given careful consideration to various methods of confparison and the American delegation will be in a posi- tion to discuss the subject whenever it comes before the commission. In alluding briefly to these possible methods, I desire to lay special em- phasis on the fact that for us the es- sential thing is the achievement of sub- stantial results, Methods are of second- ary importance. World Changes Noted. T feel that we are able to, deal to best advantage with the specific questions on our agenda only if we bear clearly in mind the recent important change in world conditions. Since our last meeting, the nations of the world have bound themselves by solemn undertaking to renounce war as an instrument of national policy. We believe (and we hope that our belief is shared by the other nations). that this agreement affirming humanity’s will to peace will advance the cause of dis- armament by removing doubts and fears which in the past have constituted our principal obstacle. It has recently been my privilege to discuss the general problem of disarma- ment at considerable length with Presi- dent Hoover, who has always been an ardent advocate of peace and good understanding. I am in a position to realize, perhaps as well as any one, how earnestly he feels that the pact for the renunciation of war opens to us an unprecedented opportunity for ad- vancing the cause of disarmament, an opportunity which admits of no post- ponement. Question of Approach. Any approach to the disarmament roblem on purely technical grounds Is und to be inconclusive. The technical justification of armaments is based upon the experience of past wars and upon the anticipation of future wars. 8o long as the approach to the problem is based upon old fears and old sus- picions, there is little hope of disarma- ment. The lessons of the old strategies must me unlearned. If we are honest, if our solemn promise in the pact means any- thing, there is no justification for the continuation of a War-taxed peace. Great armaments are but the relic of another age, but they will remain a necessary relic until the present dead- lock is broken and that can be accom- plished only by the decision of the powers possessing the greatest arma- ments to initiate measures of reduction. In the opening statement at the Three Power Naval Conference in 1927 I took occasion, in bwecung certain tonnage levels as a of discussion, to say that the United States is pre- pared to agree to a plan for limitation at still lower levels which maintain the relative status of existing treaties, with respect to the powers represented at that conierence. This is still the attitude of my Government and I am authorized to state that on this basis we are willing to to any reduction, however drastic of naval tonnage, which leaves no type of war vessel unrestricted. Cites Timid Expedient. A large part of the suggestions for limitatign hitherto made seem to have of such a nature as to sanction existing armaments or even to set higher levels with tacit encouragement to increase existing establishments. This is only a timid expedient and an agree- ment on the basis of existing world armaments (or at higher levels) can never be justified before enlightened ublic opinion as a positive achieve- At best it is purely negative. Fundamentally, our purpose should be to release large numbers of men from military service to productive effort, and second, to reduce the heavy burden of the nations are -of Nations’ "GIBSON SPEECH ON NAVAL CUT b S.

As a prac- tical matter, it would seem to be best to accept the general public under- stan of these terms. Let us, there- fore, the bold course and begin by scrapping the term “limitation” in or- der to concentrate upon a gencral re- duction of armaments, All Classes of Vesscls. My Government believes that there can be no complete and effective limi- tation of armaments unless all classes of war vessels, including cruisers, de- siroyers and submarines, are limited. It could not agree to any method which would result in leaving any class of combatant vessels unrestricted. 1In its reply, under date of September 28, 1928, to communications from the British and French governments concerning an un- derstanding reached between them as to a basis of naval limitation, my Gov- ernment pomted out that this under- standing appiied to only one type of cruiser anc one type of submarine and would leave totally unlimited a large class of effective fighting units. This note also called attention to the Amer- ican position at the Geneva naval con- fer >~ .nd the fact that a proposal for = duction was urged by the €~i.an delegation. ‘Ta. willingness, of my Government, I may even say its eagern:ss, to go to Jow levels, is based upon the fundamental bellef that naval needs are relative, namely, that what we may require for our defense depends chiefly upon the size of the navies maintained by others, Aside from the signatories of the Wash: ington treaty, there is no conceivable combination of naval power wheih could threaten the safety of any of the prin- cipal naval powers. ‘Willing for Reduction. ‘What justification can there be for le powers which lead in the respective classes of naval vessels to sanction fur- ther building programs in those classes. In the case of the United States we have already expressed our willingness to agree on a basis that would mean a substantial reduction of our present de- stroyer and submarine types. In the case of cruisers it is only possession by others of atly superior strength in this class which has lead to the adopiion of the present building program. My Government cannot find any jus- tification for the building and main- tenance of large naval establishments save on the ground that no power can reduce except as a result of general re- duction. Let us ask ourselves honestly what these establishments are for. As regards the relation of the maritime powers among themselves, there is no such need. Even if the danger of war is admitted, it could be guarded against just as well by the maintenance of rela- tive strength at low levels as at higher levels. The principal naval powers have nothing to fear from the naval strength of the countries nonsignatory to the | Washington treaty. There is no con- ceivable combination of naval strength among the nonsignatory powers which neted give concern. As an example, the cruiser strength of all the nonsignatory countries in the world does not attain to one-half of the cruiser tonnage of the greatest single fleet. JPeople Want Relief. ‘The people of every country are cry- ing out against burdens of taxation and demanding the suppression of unneces- sary expenditure. My Government is convinced that expenditure for dispro- portionate naval establishments is in- defensible in that it can be avoided by & sensible agreement among the naval powers. And we must recognize that the people who pay taxes are bound to feel well-foundtd resentment against needless taxation through failure to reach rational agreements. idea that naval needs are relative and that radical general reduction is possi- ble only on the theory of relative needs. I trust that these views may commend themselves to other governments ¢nd that it may be possible to agree upon such reductions. If, however, it is im- possible to agree on this thesis, it is obvious that there will remain only the thesis of absolute naval needs. This would mean that all thought of reduc- tion is abandoned, that each country retains a free hand in building with an inevitable tendency toward competition. Surely we can hardly envisage such a sequel to our solemn undertaking to keep the peace. ‘Would Cover Whole Ground. My Government has always felt that we need no exact balance of ships and guns which can be based only upon the idea of conflict—what is really wanted is a common-sense agreement, based on the idea that we are going to be friends and settle our problems by peaceful means. My Government has never believed that an effective approach to the prob- lem of disarmament could be made by methods of reduction of armaments alone. It feels that genuine disar- mament will follow only from a change of attitude toward the use of force in the settlement of international disputes. It is for that reason that I venture to make this appeal that the countries here represented examine the whole problem afresh in the hope that they will find in general world conditions and in the solemn obluntlon they have taken among themselves a reassurance as to their security and that they will find in this the confidence to enable them to dispense with the armaments which hitherto have seemed so essen- tial. i REVELSTOKE RITES SET.

Frigidaire, Schuyler Arms—1954 Co- lumbia Road “HOG-WASH” There is and for years has been a tremendous amount of high-pitched and hysterical chatter about “institutional” advertising. To be vulgarly blunt or bluntly vulgar, this is mostly “hog-wash” In motor cars for instance Cadillac, Fisher Body, Chrysler, Hupmobile, (early) Dodge Brothers, (early) Goodyear may or may not have had added to their names by ad- vertising an extra-magic which was not built in the factory or by the sales department. But what other names even remotely suggest themselves as beneficiaries of advertising in this particular respect? | What other names generate that special and singular public respect and confidence which renders them toughly resistant to the ordi- nary assaults of competition? ; If it is merely sales-acceleration which is de- sired, almost any sort of decent advertising will answer, provided you can afford to do enough of it. But, to influence and give impetus to sales | and at the same time confer this other price- less public preference (which makes a mere name clinching and conclusive reason for buying)—this is far and away the most diffi- cult and delicate job known to advertising. It implies a knowledge of humanity, of the subtlety of words, of the power and impacts of ideas, of honest propaganda and espe- cially of business strategy which is almost as rare as a white blackbird.
