CONCRETE PLANS
FOR DISARMAMENT
American Delegation To Pro
poae Far-Reaching Cut In
Nary At The Oataet
Washington, Nov. a-The policial
and program of the American delegu
tion to the armament conference an
beginning to aiaprae definite outline
nnd If the expectations of oficia
Warhingt in are realised, the openlnj
days of the conference will see a se
quencc, of development somethin!
like this:
Possible Developments
1‘reocntatio'n, at the outset, of i
concrete American plan for far
reaching reduction of novel anna
ment.
Consideration, along wtth this plan
of ouch troublesome problems of thi
Far East aa may naturally project
themselves into the picture.
Meantime, an effort by the United
.Q1»(Au in Loess * Vs..--»1 at - • .1 .
open so that public opinion may ex
«rt ita pre-war* toward practical ac
complishment.
Snsyisi Reductions
Salient feature* of the Am*near
naval armament* proposal already
luive been established, and although
details remain to be fixed, thero ii
reason to believe the reduction# sug
gested will b*r sweeping enough tc
convince the whole world that ths
United Steles meant business when
:t called the powers into conference.
It would cause no surprise If the
leading naval powers found it necea
sory to submit the plan of this gov
ernment to long and careful study
before they determine on their court*
of action. Should the reductions pro
posed prove unacceptable. It ia be
lieved likely that the American dele
gates, having once taken the initia
tive, would Invite the other power*
u> present in their turn some concrete
counterproposal.
Reduction Figure*
All the evidenr* surrounding the
conferences of the American “Big
Pour" with their naval advisers have
pointed to inclusion of a set of max
mum reduction figures in the plan tc
be laid on the table by this govern
ment. No official has been srUling to
reveal any details of these figures,
but there has born apparently a da
sire to lay bare at the very outaot of
the negotiations, the full extent to
which the United State* would be
witling to go in sealing down the
world’s naval armament.
Opposite Courts
TE* impression that such' a method
may not, lead to an immediate agree
meiit hat been given color by the
apparent intention of some of Um
powers to pursue a directly opposite
i-ourx* and enter the conference set
ting a high figure aa the measure of
th* naval armament they consider re
quisite to Ibeir uatioael safety. Ja
pan already has indicated that she
would suggest the necessity of main
taining a navy equal to any which
might enter her sphere in the Par
East; a proportion which naval ex
port* say ia well in exeess of her pre*
ent power.
P robs his P rocs dors
It is conceivable among American
officials that some of the Par Eastern
problems may be brought aharply in
to issue as soon as replies are mad* U
the Initial proposal or this govammanl
for naval reductions. Naturally, th<
other powers will desire to act forth
Uieir reasons for the attitude they
take on this proposal, and in the con
side ration of these reasons the con
ference may swing entirely away
frum ihs question of armament foi
:ho moment address itself directly U
the causes for armament.
The determination of tha Aner
lean government that these exchan
gas shall be kept.ae far as posstbli
from the realm of underground di
plomacy was reiterated today is
highest administration quarters. Offi
clals say their plana for giving pub
lieily to the proceedings of th# eon
for*:rice are so complete ns to assun
to the pram the fullest inforsnatios
consistent With public policy and giv*
public opinion ample opportunity t*

With 78,717 bale* of the INI crop
of cotton in the foar coontice ear
reuniting Dunn ginned up to October
18. according to the- Federal Ceaaue
Bureau, the Dunn - Duke market
bought and sold up to November I
approximately 11,000 bale*, or mere
than one iialh of the total harvest of
Sampson, Johnston, Harnett and
Cumberland eeuntie*.
To date the market has more than
doubled ita sales and tbs four coun
ties hare more than doubled their
barvrxt to the same dates last year.
By Novembar 1 last year Dunn and
Duke had sold leas than 8,000 balsa,
with picking a little mere than half
completed. The four counties had
ginned up to October 18 last year 88,

ginned 19.991 to Harnett's 16,818.
Cumberland ginned 10,816.
Picking in the (esr counties will
probably be completed next weok if
weather permits, whereas last year It
was not completed until December.
September on the Dana market
was the busiest month ever recorded.
More than 7,000 balsa were weighed
on lh. central y,rd and at the Oil
Mills. Last month, however, the
downward trend of prices kept much
of the fleece In warebonaee and on
the farms. Only 9.264 bales were
euld. The burning of the Pope gin
snd the Tart gin probably affected
local talas also. Up to November 1,
Duke buyers had handled a little
mere than 67,000 bales of local cot
ton.
In the entire State, the ginning re
port shows, 441,907 bales hadbeen
rmned this year as against 190,818
last year, showing a gain of *62,497.
Rubeio.i led as usual with 89,991.
Johnston was second, Sampson fourth
