President Questions Desira-
bility of Complete Dis-
arming Now.
WASHINGTON. Oct 12. (By L*.
P.)— Universal disarmament is im-
possible and even its desirability is
now questionable, President Harding
said today.
The president's view, which makes
it clear the American delegation at
the arms parley will seek only a
limitation of armament, was stated
in emphatic terms in a letter made
public by the white house to stem
a growing propaganda for complete
abolition of armament.
The letter, made public simultane-
ously with the assembling of the
American delegation to the disarma-
ment conference here todfty, was ad-
dressed to Miss 1011a L. Freed, 46
Lenox Road, Brooklyn. N. Y.. who
had written the president urging him
to work for complete disarmament.
Would Be Beyond Hope.
"Universal disarmament would be
beyond hopo of realization," the
president answered. "Even lt de-
sirability at this time might well be
questioned."
Hundreds of letters have come to
the White House urging Harding to
Insist that armies and navies the
world over be wiped out by the con-
ference. This propaganda, Harding
believes, is arousing false hopes
which can not possibly be realized,
and which if insisted upon might
wreck the confereuce.

Crowned with Success. j (J rLAY
NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—The state
of North Dakota has won its finan- I
clal fight of more than two years to
dispone of its series of bonds totaling
$6,000,000, bearing interest at tho
rate of 6% per cent. The remain-
ing unsold bonds were taken this
week by a New York company and
will be offered to the public In the
usual way at 101 and accrued inter-
est. Many of these bonds have been
purchased by labor unions and mem-
bers of orgauized labor.
The history of this bond Issue has
been unusual and remarkable. After
the banks and bond companies had
refused to buy the bonds, even when
secured by the entire wealth of
North Dakota, the state opened Its
own selling offices in Chicago, New
York and elsewhere, and In this way

ter Miss Freed wrote October 6 de-
clared for "reasonable limitation."
She replied that this letter "seemed
to briug a message of helplessness"
to those who wanted disarmament
and asked him to explain what ho
meant by reasonable limitation.
Uardiiigtoiiian Bel lull ion.
"By reasonable limitation." tho
president replied. "I mean something
praticable, thnt there is a chance to
accomplish, rather than that one
there would be no chnnce to realize.
"Universal disarmament would be
beyond hope of realization; even Its
desirability at this time might well
be questioned. Thousands of years
of history recording the wars and
controversies of mankind suggest
that human nature require revolu-
tionary reorganization to make uni-
versal disarmament possible.
"On the o'ther hand a world with
the horrors of recent experiences
seared into Its mind, and staggeriug
under the load of debt aud arma-
ments, has generously Justified our
hope for a favorable attitude toward
the practical effort, the sincere be-
ginning that we are attempting. The
fine spirit of leading nations have
received the Invitation to meet and
their acceptance Is altogether en-
couraging. • • •
-Will Not Fail."
"The attitude of nations warrants
confidence that we will not fall, but
rather that substantial results will
be accomplished, calculated to lessen
the armament burden, and to reduce
the danger of armed conflict. I feel
that In such an effort we are entitled
to tho support of all people who
would be glad—as I can assure you
I would—to see still more accom-
plished If possible."
Harding also took occasion today
to deplore the use of newspuper
propaganda In a letter to Governor
Partington of Hawaii to he read at
the press congress of the world, now
in session at Honolulu.
His letter also expressed the con-
viction that it would be "hard to
Imagine Justification In this day and
age, especially In view of the world s
late unhappy experiences, for armed
conflict among civilized people."

TO DOUBLE BREAD PRICE.
VIENNA, Oct. J2.—The announce-
ment that the government intends to
double the price of bread in Austria
Is arousing labor's bitterest opposi-
tion. The allies have stated that the
bread subsidy must be reduced as
tho requisite of obtaining entente
credit, and as the government has no
alternative the only defense left to
labor Is a new struggle for higher
wages.
The inevitable result of the new
bread price Is an unprecedented
strike wave4.

The ostensible purpose of this suit
was to test the constitutionality of
all the Important laws embodying
the league program In North Dakota.
The atclon was fought through all
the courts up to the supreme court
of the United States and the laws
wore sustained In every court.
Naturally these lawsuits took con-
siderable time, and It was not until
June, 1920, that the final decision

A complete still was found by po-

of 6% per cent, but when offered
to the bankers and brokers of La
Salle street In Chicago and Wall
street In New York they were turned
down, notwithstanding they were
acknowledged as the best Investment
bonds on the market.
Boycott Proves Ineffective.
The state authorities In charge of
selling the bonds realized that this
was a continuation of the campaign
of opposition they had encountered
for years .emanating from the mill-
ing, elevator, speculative and trans-
portation interests at Minneapolis.
This compelled the Nonpartisan
league to take their bond selling
direct to the people.
