WASHINGTON. June 2. (Special.
For the public distant from Wash
ington to understand what progress 1
being made. in. the direction of dis
armament it is necessary to make
' several distinctions clear. The firs
is between land- dsrraameit- and
naval disarmament-. For the. present
nothing is being done in the direction
of an agreement on land disarmament,
It is recoaniced- that Europe- n
not very well discuss the reduction
of it armies so long as Russia re
mains a potential military menace. It
is always possible for affairs in Kus
sia to take such a turn as might make
large armies necessary to the rest of
Europe. It is within the possibility
that a military dictator of the type
of Napoleon might, arise - in Uu&sia.
This is at least a possibility which
the nations of Europe might reason
ably cite if they were approached on
the subject of land disarmament. For
this and other reasons those who are
taking the lead in America do not re
gard the present as a good time to
raise the question of land duarma
ment.
Two Plans Considered. ,
In the matter of naval disarmament
there are two plane. The plan of Sen
ator Borah and those who follow his
leadership in the senate is to take no
tice of the fact that Great Britain,
Japan and the United State are the
only three nations which now are in
creasing their naval armaments. The
plan, therefore, is to call a confer
ence of these three nations separately.
They have in mind the educational
value of such a conference and want
it called in Washington, .for the dis
cussion of this subject alone. They
want to avoid the Interruptions and
distractions of a body which has ad
ditional business to attend to. Also
they want the conference doings pub
lished.
The other plan which President
Harding and Ms advisors have been
persuaded to embark upon in a cau
tious way. is to take up the subject
of naval disarmament with the su
preme allied . cpuifil. Taking the
matter up with this body of course
would include Italy and France as
well as the other three nations in the
negotiations.
It is to be borne In mind that the
supreme allied council has nothing to
co with the league of nations and
that what President Harding is doing
involves him. therefore, in no sus
picion among the irreconcilables in
the senate. The distinction between
the league of nations and the su
preme allied council is that the latter
can take no binding action, but can
v merely recommend action to the va
rious governments represented.
Leomie Subatitnte Poaaihle.
If President Harding makes prog
ress with his plan for a disarmament
agreement through the mechanism
of the. supreme allied council, it is
quite possible that he may take this
body as the cornerstone for the struc
ture of that association of nations
which he has frequently promised,
and that he may build upon it. in ad
dition to an agreement for disarma
ment,-a court and various other mech
anisms for the preservation of peace.
Some of President Harding's advisers
believe that if the supreme allied
council can be kept going success
fully for a few years, and that if its
actions are acceptable to America,
that body may well turn out to be a
relatively satisfactory substitute for
what President Wilsoo meant to ac
complish through the league of na
tions. Meanwhile, as a matter of domestic
politics, the pressure upon President
Harding to make reasonable prog
ress In the direction of a conference
for disarmament is very strong. It
is as strong as any political or moral
movement now apparent in the United
States.
Movement Well Barked.
It has behind it several elements.
It has behind it the bulk of those
who believed in the league of nations
in its original form. . It has, in addi
tion, the support of those who did
not approve the league of nations,
but who strongly demanded some
mechanism for the prevention of fu
ture wars.
The two elements combined are
much more than half of the voters
of the United States. In addition
to them there is also a large body
of opinion whose primary motive is
reduction of taxation. The discus
sion of taxation has now gone far
enough to demonstrate that the only
appreciable progress that can be
made toward reduction of govern
ment expenditures is through the re
duction of armaments.

Judge Denies Contract to Deliver
Milk to League Lacks Mutuality
or Restrains Trade.
MARSHFIELD, Or, June 2. (Spe-'
cial.) Judge John Coke, ofthe Coos
county circuit courts yesterday gave
a decision in the Oregon Dairymen's
league vs. Jarman, Cochran, AVillard
and Johnson suit, which, it is be
lieved, will have a far-reaching ef
fect on the .business of the league.
The judge denied the five items of a
demurrer submitted by the defendants.
The league sued for the purpose of
requiring the four defendants, whom
it was alleged had violated their
contract to deliver milk to the league
and asked for 5 cents a gallon on all
milk sold to other parties.
The demurrer set forth that the
contract was of agency form rather
than a sale, lacked mutuality and
could not be enforced in a court of
eauity: that no allegation of perform
ance on the part of the plaintiff was
made: that the contract was illegal
and in restraint of trade.
Judge Coke's decision was about
3500 words long and held the con
tract was legal, of more than agency
form, that it was mutual and not in
restraint of trade. Attention was
called to the Oregon law permitting
organization for dairymen and others
commissioners to actual cost of rail
road fares, was adopted at a meeting
here yesterday. The custom of charg
ing 10 cents per mile was deplored
and alleged to be without authority
of law.
The report dealt at length with the
unrestricted use of automobiles by
county employes and officials at pub
lic expense, and urged the county to
dispose of all such machines with
the exception of one for the county
judge. It was alleged if it becomes
necessary for the commissioners to
use an automobile for public benefit

however, and some of the growers

As a result of the low prices being
