Preliminary work on the conference
on limitation of armaments and Far
Eastern problems is going on steadily,
and before long it will be known just
who will take part in tjie meeting, and
in a general way what they will discuss.
The several nations concerned
are selecting their representatives,
those for the United States being the
first to be announced. President Harding
has appointed for that high duty
Secretary of State Hughes, Senator
Henry Cabot I,odge. Elihu Root and
Senator Oscar W. Underwood?three
Republicans and one Democrat. As
Premier Hnra will be unable to come,
Admiral Baron Kato has been selected
to head the Japanese delegation,
and Ambassador to the United States
Shidetiura will also be a member. it
is still believed Premier Lloyd George
will lead the British contingent, and
It Is likely that his associates will be
Andrew Bonar Law. Secretary for
War Evans and Lord Lee of Fareham,
first lord of the admiralty. The British
dominions, especially Australia,
New Zealand and Canada, have been
strenuously arguing their right to representation
In the conference in view
of their great Interst In matters concerning
the Pacific and Far East, and
it is believed that some of their leading
statesmen will be asked to attend
in the capacity of advisers.
Two more nations have been added
to the list of those invited to the conference.
With the consent of five principal
powers Holland and Belgium
will participate in the proceedings insofar
as their interests in the Far
East are concerned. Their status thus
will be the same as that of China, for
it is not to be supposed tliev will take
tfurt In the discussion on armaments.
Diplomatic conversations and informal
exchanges between the governments
concerned have progressed so
far that Secretary Hughes has been
able to send to the other four great
powers and to China a suggested outline
of the topics for the conference.
This proposed agenda has not been
made public, pending its acceptance by
the other governments, but is believed
to include. Aside from limitation of
armaments, these suggestions:
Territorial integrity of Russia, the
open door, and equal opportunity for
economic activities, the powers acting
as trustees until Russia shull have recovered
and set up a central, representative
government.
Territorial integrity of China and
the "open door."
The substitution of International co
operation for tne past practice of seeking
selfish, monopolistic advantages in
JJUna.
* Assistance to China in achieving administrative.
fiscal and judicial reforms.
T^kvo newspaper says Mr. Hughes j
also includes in his suggestions mandates
If the? have not been previously
settled, and Manchuria and the Chinese
Eastern railway. That question
of yandates?meaning in this case especially
Yap?is causing the Japanese
a lot of worry. They don't want it
brought up in the conference and are
doing their utmost to get it settled before
the Washington meet opens. Their
continued occupation of Shantung is
another matter they desired to keep
<>ut of the conference, but in this they
are likely to he disappointed, They
have asked China to enter Into private

has refused Japan's proposition, fearing
that It would he overthrown if It
accepted. Some of the leaders In that
government have long been suspected
of being pro-Japanese. An Interesting
report in Washington Is that Robert
Lansing, former secretary of state under
President Wilson, will be an adviser
to the Chinese delegation.
The assembly of the League of Nations
continues to function, in disregard
of the assertions of various personages
that the league Is virtually
dead. Parenthetically, it may be said
that the treaty of Versailles guarantees
the league's life for 30 years for
the purposes of administering the Soar
basin and the control of Dunzlg. The
chief accomplishment of the assembly
last week was the election of Judges
of the International court of Justice.
Elihu Root having declined, for personal
reasons, to be a candidate, the
Latin-American group brought about
the election of John Bassett Moore, of
New York. He and ten others were
accepted by the council. Three deputy
Judges also were elected and confirmed,
but there was trouble over the
choice of the fourth deputy. Three
times the assembly elected Senor Alvarez
of Chile, and three times the
council voted for M. Descamps of Belglum.
At last the deadlock was referred
to a committee. Senor Amador
of Panuma threatened to withdraw his
delegation if Alvarez was not accepted
by the council.
The question of the league's competence
to judge the Tacna-Arica dispute
and the Chile-Bolivia treaty was
referred to a committee of three Jurists.
Senor Edwards of Chile stated
that he was not prepared to admit thut
the league was licensed to intrude In
purely South American nffulrs In violation
of the Monroe doctrine. Senor
Aramayo of Bolivia, having received
new Instructions from La Paz, withdrew
his demand that the dispute with
Chile be included in the agenda of tlie
assembly.

dieted, they didn't want to submit to
the only condition Imposed, that the
Sinn Fein must abandon its demand
for separation from the empire. De
Valera sent Harry Boland and Joseph
McGrath with his acceptance of the invitation.
but in his letter he made sev->
eral reservations, chief of which was
his objection to admitting Ireland's allegiance
to the British crown before
entering the conference. He also argued
that if the premier objected to
the secession of Ireland from the empire
lie should not support the secession
of Ulster from Ireland.
Mr. Lloyd George sent the couriers
back to Dublin with a message to De
Valera that his note was unsatisfactory
and he had better write another.
This the governor supplemented by
a telegram to De Valera canceling the
arrangements for the Inverness conference
because he felt that, in view
of the Irish attitude, negotiations
would be useless. The premier was
as conciliatory as he could be consistently,
but at this writing it
is uncertain whether the negotiations
for peace will continue. The
Dail Eirann, however, named its dele
Kates for the conference, if It is held,
and I)e Vnlera is not one of them. The
delegates are: Arthur Griffith, founder
of Sinn Fein and republican foreign
minister; Michael Collins, minister of
finance; Itohert Barton, secretary of
economic affairs; Knnion Duggan, chief
Irish republican army liaison officer,
who helped to arrange the truce, and
George Gavan Duffy, the Irish envoy
to Rome.
Several of these men are classed as
moderates. The Freeman's Journal of
Dublin says: "Their task may have its
difficulties, but its successful accomplishment
will he the crown of a great
achievement. Roth nations have their
hearts set on an honorable ending here
and now to the struggle of centuries.
Their desire is well within the realm of
possibility and practicability. All the
efforts of the would-be wreckers In
Great Britain hitherto have failed.
There is then enough statesmanship m
the Irish delegation to confirm that
failure and to complete a fabric of
peace."

The finance committee completed its
redrafting of the house tax bill arid
experts began getting the measure
ready for presentation in the senute on
September 21. Disregarding the recommendations
of Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon, the committee voted
to repeal the excess profits tax beginning
January 1, 1922, and the capital
stock tax effective in 1922, and to substitute
for these a flat corporation tax
of 15 per cent, effective January 1,
1922. Among other changes in the
house bill voted by the committee are
retention of freight and passenger
transportation taxes at half their present
rates and those on express shipments
and oil pipe lines at their present
rates for another year, and continuation
of many miscellaneous taxes
which the house voted to repeal.
The fight against the Ku Klux Klan
Is growing more interesting and more
widespread every day, and the Klan Is
fighting hack against Its enemies with
vigor. Various papers in many parts
of the country have undertaken "exposures"
of the organization and its
methods and aims, and the Klc.n has
started or says it will start libel suits
against those publications that misrepresent
It. In Chicago an organization
called the National Unity council has
been formed with the avowed purpose
of suppressing the Klan and its socalled
"invisible empire." The council,
which is to be extended throughout the
country, Is headed by Edward F.
Dunne, former governor of Illinois. He
says the Ku Klux are a menace to the
nation because they "avowedly proscribe
millions of their fellow citizens
solely because, either they worship
God in a manner permitted by the Con
stitution of the United States, or because
they were born without the United
States, They place the black man
without the pale of the law. Such organizations
foment racial, religious m
and political enmities Instead of en- ?
couraging comity and friendship between
all classes of American citizens,
which should be the aim of every
broad-minded American."
Meanwhile the Klan continues to
grow in numbers with extraordinary
rapidity, now having, it is said, more
than half a million members, and being
organized in every state in the
Union except New Hampshire, Utah
and Montana.
The great packing concerns of Armour,
Swift. Wilson and Cudahy last
week put into operation the newly devised
"American shop representation"
system, their government-sponsored
agreement with their workers having
expired. All disputes are to be submitted
to shop councils comprised of
employees' elected representatives and
persons selected by the employers, and
national councils, to which shop councils
may nppeal, are to be formed in
similar manner. Employees' representatives
must he employed in the shop
and must be citizens or have taken out
their first papers. Any person is eligible
for employment, whether n union
member or not. While this Is "open
shop," the pnckers say it is not a
change of policy since they always
have been open shop. Ninety per cent
of their workers, they say, assented to
the plan.

THE problem of obtaining
uniform quality is one of
the difficulties that the successful
gasoline producer has
had to solve. The matter of
varying quality is one of the
greatest annoyances to the gasoline
user.
It was easy to get a standard
product when practically all
the gasoline came from one or
two types of crude petroleum.
Comparatively little gasoline
was used then. Today, the
demand is so great that all
parts of the globe have been
explored for petroleum, which
accounts for the great range
of "crudes" on the market.
Gasoline must be uniform not
only in one or two or three respects,
but in every way that
affects motor operation. Almost
every property of the gasoSTANDARD
