faces us is economic, not military,
and reduction of armament will
not affect it. We cannot afford
arms; but we also cannot afford
to surrender our vital interests

mander of Sedgwick post, G.A.R.
!--The proposed reduction in the
United States naval armament by
scrapping 15 of the older battle
ships -and abandoning construc
tion of IB new ones provided for
by act of congress is little less
than' startling. But the proposed
reduction to 845,746 tons is not
all that this proposal means. The
15 older, but yet serviceable ships
to be scrapped require a person
nel of some 900 officers and
18,000 men to keep them ready
for any action that may be called
for. This means "a saving of
hundreds of millions of dollars
and would far more than off-set
-yes, in a few years many times
off-set the expected loss of $300,
000,000 caused by scrapping 30
ships. As a first step towards
world disarmament and peace the
proposal is magnificent and the
news from . Washington sounds
like an echo f o the Bethlehem
song o f glory in the Highest and
good .will to men.
f REV. J. R. BUCK, pastor St.
Joseph's Catholic church If the
program as mapped out by Amer
ica for disarmament could be car
led out, it would certainly bring
about a rebirth for this old
world; but I. must say at the risk
of seeming a pessimist, that I fear
it 13 too Utopian and may turn out
as the "peace1 conference" did.
American ideals are and always

Veterans of Fore ign Wars The
men who have offered their livs
in the cause of humanity heartily
endorse the. proposal of tho Unit
ed States to limit armament. Na
tions armed to the teeth are by
that; token no more likely to deal
justly with one another thaji if
unequipped with such offensive
and defensive armor. Our gov
ernment has shown its good faith
by its proposal and it Is to be
hoped that Great Britain and Ja
pan will be equaJv -M far-seeing.
W. M. HAMILTON, president or
Federated clubs of Salem In
this problem, as in any other,
there are two extremes, either of
which is to be avoided if bene
ficial results are to be expected.
There Is, however, a happy med
ium and we all hope that the pow
ers in charge of the disarmament
conclave will adopt a safe middle
course. We well realize the perils
of sudden disarmament as well as
wre fear the effects of a top-heavy
program of "arming to the
teeth." The program aa outlined
reflects good judgment of thij
framers. I might take exception
to one item and that is the pro
posal to scrap battleships more
than 60 per cent completed. Work
on these should be halted, to be
resumed only when needed as re
placements for obsolete types.
MRS. JOHN A. CARSON. War
Mother of Salem chapter Ameri
can War Mothers I do not be
lieve in disarmament until it i$
absolutely sure that other nation.
will disarm at the same time, and
when this is done, what a8.-usance
have we that the agreement will
be kept inviolate, for all time"
This old world is not purged oi
grief and unholy ambitions yet.
As War Mothers we are here" to
prove that our boys were taken
from all ranks of life to serve in
tne late war,, totally .unprepared
to. face machine guns and other
deadly agents of war, just be
cause America was peace olvlng.
With what results? Ask the gold
star mothers if they are prepared
for disarmament? Some of them
have other sons left-to fight. If
it is finally determined to disarm
than add a few authors on mili
tary tactics to the curriculum of
the boys in our schools and make
manual exercise compulsory.
MRS. fr . G. SHIPLEY, regent
of Chemeketa chapter, D.A.R.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution feel an added interest
in the conference on the limita
tion of armaments in that our of
fer of placing Continental Mem
orial hall at its disposal has been
accepted and the meetings are be
ing held there. I think Sir Auk
land Geddes, Biitisu amhassador,
in his address before our last con
gress expressed my sentiments
when he said "There Is no Ques
tion that can arise between our
nations that cannot be settled by
sensible men, sitting around a
table to talk it over." Let us trust
the men of the conference to han
dle their business wieh wisdom.

War Mothers at Sacramento in
September a strong resolution

copies forwarded to our president

gradual disarmambent, with the
hope of ultimate permanent world

Three Eves who led their hU3

Audrew Vachter, Nick Sa'bo and
A. Stravens, all Tarmers of the
Oervais district, were arraigned
before Judge G. E. Unruh.

"I'll just impose a fine of $125

unable to pny the fines and were
ldaeed in the countv jail.
According to officers. 110 gal

Stravens farm, 40 gallons on the
Vachier place and a few gallons
at Nick Sabe's farm.

MRS. C. P. BISHOP, president
Marion County Women's Republi
can club Women of America may
have every confidence in the plan
proposed by President Harding for
limiting armament. The person
nel ot the American commission
ers who represent the United
States around the table bespeaks
the assurance that American in
terests will receive every consid
eration and that the highest in
terests of humanity will be pro
moted. President Harding and
the American representatives are
sincere and the proposal on the
part of the president to set the
pace by this country reducing its
poweriui navy should find a realy
response from the commissioners
of other powerful nations. It is
vauy m me negotiations to ex
press and final determination, of
course, but American women are
earnestly trustins and hoping for
most favorable results from this
conference.
ROY F, SHIELDS president of
the Kiwanis club This is a step
in a concrete line and is rather
more than the avertfge person an
ticipated. It looks like a real
step towards disarmament It
shows that the conference is not
debating society but that it wilt
mean business. It is rather dif
ficult, without technical knowl
edge, to pass an opinion as to the
proportion each nation should
scrap its warships when the
scrapping begins.
T. E. McCROSKEY, Manager
of the Commercial club It is an
economic saving and economically
correct it there is an agreement
not to scrap more ships. But
why destroy ships? Why not
disarm them and use them as
freight carriers. Portland and
territory tributary needs . ships
and we could use a lot of them
to advantage.
and Mr. J Irani well says that prob
aoiy not more than 50 cents on
the dollar will b realized from
its assets. The failure is attri
Dmeu entirely to mismanagement
and irregularities on the part of
walker.
The counts against him, aside
irom arson, are:
ihe eifht other indictments
charge serious violations of the
state banking laws. They make
me roiiowing charges:
l. I hat Walker made a false
report to the state superintendent
or banks regarding Overdrafts.
2. That he purchased bonds for
the bank on July 13, 1920, and
obtained a commission.
That he made a false report
to tne state superintendent of
banks on the loans and discounts
of the bank.
4. That he purchased 20 shares
of the stock of the bank and did
not pay the par value as required
oy law.
5. That he made a false wnnrt
to me directors of the bank aa
to' the condition of the loans and
discounts and investments of the
bane.
6. That on September 20, 1920,
ne received 5 1000 cash from
aepositor, Harry Sttltana, and
that he embezzled that sum.
7. That on September 20, 1920,
he embezzled $1000 deposited in
tne Dank by H. D. Begun.
8. That he made false affida
vits as to overdrafts to the state
hanking superintendent.
Walker issued a statement here
today in which he said that he
had not been given a chance to
explain by the state banking de
partment and that he was being
maae the goat on the arson charg
es by Takayama, who is held in
Portland in jail on the same ar
son charge as Walker. '
At one time he is said to have
Issued 20 shares of stock to him
self, which he took to Portland
and put up as collateral for a
loan before the increase in capi
tal stock ever had been author
ized. The stock, was. not paid
for until eight days after the increase-was
authorized. Under
the law no bank is allowed to
issue stock to any subsc riber un
til it is fully paid for in cash.
Overdrafts Not Itcported
At another time Walker is said
to have made an: official report
of overdrafts of : only 1218.27,
when the overdrafts really ranged
from $2100 to $3100.
Another allegation is that he
accepted money under the offic
ial receipt of the- bank and ap
plied it to his own-use. the money
never going into the assets of the
bank. ;
W. M. BUSHEY, county judge
The president is making a ra
ther liberal offer, but the infor
mation is as yet rather too indef
inite for one to pass an off-hand
opinion. It all depends on what
We destroy and what the other na
tions may destroy.
C. E. KXOWLAXD. King BIng
of th Cherrians It looks like a
step in the right defection. The
reduction in armament should
not be confined to the great nav
ies. Why not reduce armies and
at the same time, reduce ths
r " men studying at the
great military schools of each na
tion. And while the three great
naval nations are reducing their
armaments, we should not forget
other nations.
