ARE NO ENTANGLEMENTS Mr. Hnrdlnc lio to Beaate la Person And Hla Remark Are Heartily Applauded Will Haataa I Vote on Treatlea B Aaoeliua Pres.) Washington, Feb. JO. President Harding: today aaked the senate to glv approval to the arms conference treaties In order that America's pro fessed desire to rid the world of war may not become "a hollow mockery." "If we cannot Join In making ef fective these covenants for peace," he said, "and stamp this conference with America's approval, we shall discredit the influence of the repub lic render future efforts futile and unlikely, and write discouragement where today the world Is ready to acclaim new hope." Delivering his message in person, In a voice and manner that betoken deep emotion, the President was an swered repeatedly by applause from floor and gallery. He asked, that ratification be given without delay, and before he left the capitol senate machinery was set In motion to has ten a vote. Five principal treaties and two supplemental agreements, the frui tion of the 12 weeks of negotiation Just concluded here, were In the bundle of International covenants taken to the senate chamber by Mr. Harding. They ' propose. In short, a limitation on naval armament, a- new bill of rights for China, and a four . power concord to preserve peace in the Pacific. No Entaajleasents. All of these agreements, said the" President, are related portions of the effort "to put an end to contradic tions, to remove ambiguities, and establish clear understanding." None of them, he asserted, commits the American government "to any kind of an alliance, entanglement or In Volvetnent." ! After the address was completed, both . Republican and Democratic leaders predicted that the treaties would be ratified-without long debate and ty substantial majorities. Only one, th four-power Pacific pact, Is threatened now with organised op position, and its opponents have not yet demonstrated how large a vote they can command against the strength of party leaders on both sides of the Chamber. Actual consideration of the coven ants is to begin tomorrow at a meet ing of the foreign relations com mittee, to which they were referred without debate and on motion of the committee chairman, Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts. It is thought un likely, however, that . tomorrow's meeting will in more than make a preliminary examination of the in formation which comes before it along with the treatlea Included In this data is a tran script of the proceedings of the con ference and Its committees, and a long report by the American delega- tlon to the conference, declaring the treatlea are the result of a new I world "state of mind," tending away from suspicion and apprehension and toward mutual trust and confidence. These documents were given the sen ate by the President for its guidance during the ratification debate. Prompt Actlosi Needed. Prompt action was requested by the ' President, because, he said, it wmiM he lmnnnflftil tn iliana th na. val policy of the government until It was known whether the naval treaty Is to became the accepted covenant of the nation. Until the whole se ries Is ratified, he declared, the nec essary . readjustments cannot be made -"In full confidence." The naval agreement, Mr. Harding characterised as "the first" actual re lief from naval burdens which peo ples have been able to acclaim since steam and steel combined to add to naval atrength In warfare." He pre dicted that the Chinese treaties would go a long way toward realisa tion of the long-cherlahed hope for a stable and free China. But the greater part of his ad dress the President reserved for the four-power Pacific pact, against which opposition has been organls (Contlnued on Tago Three.) FRANCE FORESTALLS ANY REPLY TO ITALY Attitud of Poincara Results In Washington Postponing Action On Genoa Invitation. (S ANMVlStMt Pres.! Washington, Feb. 10. The attitude of France towards the proposed! eco nomic and financial conference at Oenoa next month has resulted in further . postponing the decision of this government to participate. It was learned today In official circles. According to an announcement at the - White House last Tuesday, America's reply to the Invitation which was re ceived eome'weeks ago from the pre mier of Italy, waa to have been made public today. The request of Premier Poincara of France that the conference be post poned at least. three months so thst .more careful advance preparations i could" be made, it was understood. wsa received here during the day. This caused a flurry In diplomatic circles. Later the atate department denied that the proposal had been re ceived. Secretary Hughes had a lengthy conference with Preeident Harding after the regular cabinet meeting and It waa understood the question of the economic conference was dis cussed, although no official state . ment was Issued regarding ' their conversation. Secretary Hughes de clined to meef the correspondents after his conference with President Harding. Belief prevailed In official circles today that the action of the French premier had forestalled any reply from this country to Italy's Invlta : tlon. . :; Plan Is To Take 2Vi Per Cent.

Pally-Nrwa Bureau and Tftftjraps Offlce. e23 Allw Bulletins IBy Isaied Win) By C. W. l.ll.BKHT. (Coprrlflit, 122, by Fhtladclptala Public Ledstr.) Washington, Feb. ' 10. Seoretary Albert B. Fall, of the Interior de partment, will retire from the Hard ing cabinet. This Is acknowledged by close friends of Mr. Fall. No date is set for his resignation. Rumors that Secretary Fall Is about to retire from the cabinet were offi cially denied early today. They have been In circulation lor some time. jnr. Fall Is unhappy. He has not put through his Mexican policy and he told his friends on accepting office under Hardlng that If he did not suc ceed in doing so he would not stay In the cabinet. He has not been a conspicuous member of the cabinet and this has been disappointing. The prospects seem to be that If Mr. Fall can arrange to get back into, the senate from New Mexico in hie old place, he will do so. If Senator New should be beaten by Bevertuge in the Indiana primaries, New Is likely to go Into the cabinet, perhaps to succeed Fall. All this does not point to Immediate retirement of Mr. Fall. What la happening in Mr. Harding's cabinet Is what happens In every, cabinet. Every member starts out with high hopes. The spotlight will beat upon him fiercely for four years. Take the case of Mr. Fall. Mr. Hard ing had called him "Albert" for years. He had called Mr. Harding "Warren." Mr. Harding had once) described him as the best mind in the senate. - Harding Souaht Hla Advlee. When Mr. Harding sought high In tellectual converse before he was elected, he sought it in company with Mr. Kail, Just is when he wished to descend from the heights and play around he did so in company with Mr. Frellnarhmysen and Mr. Elklns. All this would surely count. Mr. Fall had been In the foreign relations committee of the senate. Coming from New Mexico, he natur ally more than anyone else had made the Republican policy on old Mexico. Ho had once imposed it upon a Dem ocratic secretary of state, Mr. Lan sing. What could he not do on this subject in a Republican adminis tration? On March 4 a year ago people, who knew Mr. Harding would have bet even that Mr. Fall would be a leading member it the cabinet, perhaps the dominant member of the cabinet. But the gods have seen ft otherwise. Mr. Fall slipped. Mr. Hardin being President, ascended new Intellectual heights ulorit,' with Mr. Hughes and Mr. Hoover. Mr. Fall was left behind away down the slope of his new and giddy eminence. It Is like the wife of a youth not being able to rise with you when you become .rreat and begin to shine like a star with golden accumulations. Or take the case of Mr. Hays, who is to retire from the cabinet. No one thinks that mere money would tempt the postmaster general out of public life if there had not been dis appointments. What had Mr. Hays a right to expect on March 4 a year ago? He was chairman of the Re publican national committee, the most heralded, the most praised chairman since Mark Hanna. He worked miracles. Surely he would be a dominant figure In the cabinet. At any . rate he would dispense much patrdnage. Maya Was Left Out The limelight did not fall upon Mr. Haya at Washington. And Mr. Hard ing kept the patronage to himself, not even, in spite of rumors, giving much of It into the hands of Mr. Daugherty. It Is always so. Mr. Garrison was disappointed under President Wilson and retired noisily. Mr, Lane was Just as badly disap pointed and hung on. Mr. Wilson had his chosen few advisers, Mr. Mc Adoo, Ms. Houston and Mr. Baker. AH of them one way or other talked his language or had minds like his. All the rest of that cabinet drew the small prize of the back seat In the lottery of cabinet life, like Mr. Fall. Mr. Hays, Mr. Davis and others of the present cabinet Talking the same language doea not always count. March 4 one year ago, a rynlcal person might have predicted that Mr. Hughes and Mr. Hoover would serve as excellent win dow dressing but that the men whom Mr. Harding would listen to would be Fall and Daugherty and Weeks and Hays, his old associates of similar origin and similar experience with himself. Quite obviously they wculd talk his language. But It has not turned out thnt wav The calling by the President-elect of tho "best minds" to Marlon was noi a bit of political hy-play. Mr. Hurd (Contnlued On Page Four.) equalled here. The whole case of the government hangs on treatment of men denominated incurables. The defense offered highest medical au thority to establish Or. Manning s character both as diagnostician and man. Dr. W. I'. Holt, chairman of the state board of examiners, and Dr. R. H. Irfwis, former president of the state board of health, declared his medical standing the very highest Ulshop Joseph B. Cheshire pro nounced hie character uncommonly high and den. Julian S. Carr. cross- examined as to whether he had heard Dr. Manning dispenses more dope than other doctors, said: "I never heard it before this and If I heard It now I wouldn't believe it.1' Judge R. H. Sykes, bachelor, was made to testify that Dr. Manning was his "family physician." Dr. Manning was sworn at the close of the day but has otierea no testimony. Having established his ability as diagnostician the defense expects to destroy the government's case by showing that only hopeless cases were treated by Dr. Manning. He In slated that he be allowed to present nis testimony and objected to any non-suit. L 1 . ;y V... ...v.. . . ' V h :. 'I Commissioner Wade Refuses To Let Film Maker Oper ate In this State.

The scheme was ons of the most lovely ever lnspectod by Mr. Wade. Mr. Mires came and laid all his cards on Mr. Wade's table.

(By AnftftaUd frna.) Washington, Feb. 10, The arms conference treaties submitted for ratification today by President Hard ing are, declared by the American delegation In their report to him to rest upon a new International "state of mind" which substitutes mutual faith for suspicion and apprehension. Bummarislng the results of the conference, the delegation' declares that to appraise correctly the ac complishment they must all be con sidered as a whole, since each con tributes to a combination of condi tions "In which peaceful security will take the place of competitive preparation for war." Excerpts from the report as It touched on specific subjects under negotiation, follow: Limitation of Land Armament. "It was recognised at the outsst that It would be difficult, If not Impossible to provide at this confer ence for the limitation of land forces 80 far as the army of the United States Is concerned, there was no question presented. The British empire has also reduced Its land forces to a minimum. "Further consideration made It quite clear that no agreement for the limitation of land forces could he had at this time." Limitation Of Naval Armaaaent. "It was .obvious that no agreement for limitation was possible if the powers were not content to take as a basis their actual existing naval atrength. It was lmpoaalble to ter minate competition lu naval arma ment of the powers were to condition their agreement upon the advantages they hoped to gain In the competi tion Itself. "With respect to capital ships, while there are certain changes In detail, the Integrity of the plan pro posed on behalf of the American government has been maintained, and the spirit In which that proposal was made, and In which It was re ceived, dominated the entire negotia tions, and brouKht them to a suc cessful conclusion. It Is obvious that this agreement means an enormous saving of money and the lifting of a heavy and un necessary burden. The treuty abso lutely stops the race In competition in naval armament. At the same time It leaves the relative security of t,he great naval powers unimpaired. No national Interest has been sacrificed; 11 wasteful production of unnecessary armament has been ended. "It was found to be Impracticable to adopt rules for the limitation ot aircraft in number, size, or character In view of the fact that auch rules would be of little or no value unless the production of commercial air craft were almllarly restricted. It was deemed to be Inadvisable thus to hamper the development of a facility which could not fell to be Important In the progress of civilization." Pacific and Far Eastern lnearloaa. "Whenihe conference was called, there existed with regard to the far east causes of misunderstanding and sources of controversy which consti tuted a ssrlous potential danger. These difficulties centered principally about China, where the developments of the past quarter of a century bad produced a attuatlon In which Inter national rivalries, Jealousies, distrust and antagonism were fostered.

It waa atated Arms Conference Declare The factors In the far' eastern situation waa the Anglo-Japanese alliance. This alliance haa been viewed by the people of the United States with deep concern. Originally dealgned as a measure of protection In vjew ot the policies of Russia and Germany In far eaatern affaire, the continuance of the alliance after all peril from those sources had been ceased could not fall to ba regarded as seriously prejudicial to our Interests. Without reviewing the reason for this dis quietude, it was greatly Increased by the state of International tenalon which had arisen In the Pacific area. It waa a matter of the greatest gratification that the American dele gation found that they were able to obtain an agreement by which the Anglo-Japanese alliance ahould be Immediately terminated. No greater atep could be taken to secure the un impeded Influence of liberal opinion In promoting peace In the Pacific region. "The parties (to the four-power treaty) do not agree to give any sup port to claims, but only to respect rights that actually exlat. When controversies arise, the powers merely agree to confer together con cerning them. No power binds It self to anything further, and any consents or agreements must be reached in accordance with Its con stitutional methods," 300 to KOO Officers Available. Washington, Feb. 10.
