China's antagonists at the Wash- ington conference will be the ene mies of disarmament and of peace, whatever their public utterances, for the prolongation of the present state of affairs in this country can lead to but one thing—~ War. At Paris and Versailles certain gum-shoe diplomats went from delegation to delegation with this plaint: “How can we come to the assist ance of poor China, when China her. self ig in no condition to accept as sistance?” HISTORY MAY RECORD FAILURE Movie-star tears seemed to glisten among their eyelashes, they were so sorry. If President Harding's conference assumes this attitude, history can only record its failure. China must be treaced gently much in the same way that a doctor treats a very sick patient, ‘Thru her’ delegates she must be brought to a realization that she is today the world’s greatest menace to the peace; that this is not so much her fault as it is the fault of the great powers sitting with her at the tablé; that these powers now intend Ito right past wrongs, in so far as | they are able, and that they will do | thi« by helping her to get on her feet ‘This—the powers must make plain to the delegation—will be done thru ion of the Chi | nese people themselves, and that no linfringement on China's integrity is intended or will be tolerated. | In short, as Jt has been put to me, | urn to Page 18, Column 2) DEBS’ CASETO |Educate Shoppers, Is WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.— Presi dent Harding and Attorney General Daugherty at a conference tomorrow will discuss the r from prison jot Eugene V.

TWO CENTS IN SEATTLE CHICAGO, Aug. 26.—Operations of Charles W. French, alleged king of swindiera, went into the half bil- lion class and took on an interna onal aspect today. Continuing hin confession before federal authorities, Alvin E. Harsh- French's secretary, revealed plans for the organization of a $500, 000,000 concern, thru which, he charged, financiers not only of Amer- tea, but of Canada, England, Mexion ‘and other countries were to be “fleeced.’ French and his ansociates were ready to launch the concern when federal agents stepped in and stopped their “game,” Harshman said. The deal, bad it gone thru, would have been the most gigantic enter Drive, legitimate or otherwise, ever attempted, Assistant District Attor bey Clinnin declared, Harshman said French conceived the idea, but that he, Harshman, put it on paper. The plan, Harshman de- clared, was to organize the $500,000,- 000 concern with American, Can- adian, Mexican and English capital and to take a “fier” at all the big industries. Purchase and operation of big automobile, leather, steamship and rubber companies were proposed in the project, he said.
