CHIEFS OF INDORSE HARDING PLAN FOR DISAR BY HAROLD D. JACOBS (Copyright, 1921, by United Press) NEW YORK, July 16.—Governors of 16 #tites, representing more than 20,000,000 persona today indorwed President Harding's disarmament conference. In messages to the United Preas these executives declared for arma ment limitation on the following grounds: Prevention of wara. Relief from taxation burdens. Improvement of the general world economic situation. Gov. Percival D, Baxter, of Maine, mmed up the general attitude of his colleagues when he declared that “the nations of the world must dis- arm or go into moral and financial bankruptcy.” To this Gov. D. W. Davis, of Idaho, added that “we can not talk of achieving peace with knives in our hands * The governors, 11 republicans and five democrata, were those of Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Geor- gia, Idaho, lowa, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah and West Vir gina. The combined population of these eon is 20,821,170. “The nations must disarm or go into moral and financial barik- ruptey,” declared Baxter, repuby lean. 16 STATES MING MEET tures in preparation for war necesst- tates carly curtailment” N. KE. Kendall, republican, Towa: “All of Jowa is in earnest support jot the president in the movement he has initiated for world disarma ment." Joseph M. Dixon, republican, Mon- tana: “I believe public opinion thru- | out the nation will be overwhelming: ly in support of this movement for disarmament. The fact that 90 per cent of the crushing load of national | taxation is now being spent in pay- ment of past wars and preparation for future wars is leading to serious thinking.” Ben W. Olcott, republican, Oregon: “Aside from humanitarian features, dimarmament {fs the greatest eco- |nomic need in the world today. It will do more to wipe out poverty and suffering than all the other moves combined.” Charles KR. Mabry, republican, Utah: “While I am of the opinion that the time is not yet ‘here for successful universal disarmament, President Harting’s proposed cot ence is a sensible step in the righ rection.
