At the * concluding session
Klamath Falls was selected as the
meeting place for the 1927 spring
meeting and Mrs. L. B. Hague
of Klamath Falls was elected
president. C. H. Hoffmeister of

The reeulution concerning the

With the meeting here soon of
the League of Nations’ newly
created Disarmament Commis
eion for the preparation of a
general international disarma
ment conference not less than
six to eight different groups
of states will come into open
conflict as to what should be
done and how to do it.
While every nation in the
world is, theoretically at least, in
favor
of
disarmament,
the
League's five year study of the
problem has developed that
hardly any two agree either on
the method, the extent or the
scope.
This Is one of the leadlug
reasons why Leaguers remain
convinced that disarmament will
never come about as the result
of any general agreement ou
the subject but merely as logi
cal result when security has been
estafa
gtablished to such an exteitb
that the nations no longer feel
the need of armaments.

Definite approval of the plan to

Junction of the Pacific highway
with the Ashland - Klamath Falls
highway was .given today by di
rectors of the local chamber of
commerce, it being specified that
the chamber is to be in no why

Absolute necessity for the move
was pointed out In talks before
the chamber.
It was pointed out that cities
along the Pacific highway last
year formed the Pacific highway
association, and that this associa

thing within its power to keep
travel upon the Pacific highway,
to the exclusion of outlying com
munities, such as Klamath.

KING CITY, Calif., Feb. 4—
(U.P.)—A. D. Porter, who read
