POINTS WAY TO WORLD DISARMAMENT \MARRYING PARSON\ KILLS ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST IN BIRMINGHAM, ALA- ASKED TO JOIN IN CONFERENCE Invitations Are Forwarded From Washington to the Chancelleries NOTES ARE IDENTICAL Replies Are Expected to Reach Capital in a Few Days—Naval Armament Probably First on Program — Number of Delegates Not Suggested. WASHINGTON, Aug. 11—Putting into definite terms its proposal for a disarmament conference, the United States today in.vi.ted the great powers to unite in \a. practical effort to re- move the cause's of misunderstanding\ and so facilitate reduction of the •world's enormous outlay for the ma terials of war. In formal identical notes of invitation forwarded to Great Britain, Prance, Italy and Japan, the American gov- ernment pledged its own unstinted cooperation in such an effort and, fur- ther defined as follows, its ow»i con- ception of the principles involved: That there can be no hope for \ or stability until the tax '&urd<m re- sulting from heavy armaments has been reduced. That such a reduction is possible only if troublesome international pioblems are solved by common con- consent. That among these problems the Pacific and Far Eastern questions oc- cupy a postion of \unquestioned im- portance;\ and That the question of naval arma- ments might well tie considered first, though there should be no barrier a full consideration of armaments of every sort. Coincident with the dispatch of the invitations to the Four Great Powers, China was asked to send a delegation to take part in those dis cussions of the conference which re- late to the Pacific and Far East.. All of the five nations thus invited have indicated informally that they would accept,'and formal responses are ex- pected to reach Washington within a few days. In every respect the note of invi- tation follows the principles previous ly defined by this government in its informal conversations with the other powers, but particular attention was attracted by the suggestion that a solution of the Far Eastern situation should include \common understand- ings with respect to matters which have been and are of international concern.\ Aside from the hint that naval armaments would logically come first in the considerations of the confer- ence, the foimal invitation makes only one suggestion as to the subject matter of the disarmament discus- sions themselves. That relates to \new agencies of warfare,\ control of which the note holds to be advisable in the interest of humanity. 1 The- number of principal delegates to be sent by each participating nai- tion is not suggested in the note. Informal negotiations regarding the size of delegations are proceeding, with indications pointing to an agree- ment that each nation shall have five seats in the conference -with the privilege of substituting in any of the five places whatever personnel may tie desired from time to time to cope with specific subjects. Streams of Liquor To Pour Across The Line WINDSOR, Ont., Aug. 1 1.—Canadian prohibition officials expect liquor will pour across the border into the United States in greater streams than ever before, because of the court ruling here yesterday that the On- tario temperance act does not prohibit exportation of in- toxicants to a foreign country.

Republicans acted alone on the questions, the Democratic mem- bers being ushered out of the meeting in accordance with what was salid to be custom. Determination of the details went over to tomorrow, but before further moves are made, the Republican members of the House Ways and Means committee will be called in for an \informal discussion\ of the changes, which the finance committee Republicans have approved. This conference, it was said, was arranged in order to avoid possible conflict be- tween the two houses. The decision to establish the com- mittee policy in \Republican confer- ence\ brought protest on the Senate floor from Senator Simmons of North Carolina, ranking Democratic mem- ber of the committee, and Senator King, Democrat, Utah. Mr. King said the situation called for \the severest condemnation,\ add- ing: \It is a well known fact that all kinds of interests are here trying to prostitute this bill. I don't want it written by the dye *or other monopo- lies.\ In addition to the customs experts, Secretary Hoover was before the committee today. The latter suggest- ed that an amendment should be add- ed which would take care of the coun- try whose currency has depreciated badly.
