BRIAND WILL HEAD P Premier Will Attend Disarma ment Conference; Harding Asks For $200,000 Wellington, Aug. 15. (By the Asso elated frcs.) The hope of American ofliclals that the disarmament eon ferome will be a diplomatic conclave of the first order was strengthened today when France informed the State Department that she would send her Premier, Aristida Briand, at the bead ctf her delegation of diplomntistj, The decision is eipeeted here to bc followed y similar moves on the part of the other Dowers, investing tho gathering with extraordinary tignifi eance and giving it much of the' plen ry authority that was possessed by the !,.- t RtqtAi'1 af YAnwii ICS. The French notification came in the form ef a mcssag.iroui Premier Briand himself, transmitted through theAm eriean Embassy aTaris, saying merely that the Tremicr wouldi take pleasure in personally representing hie country at the conference. It was the first formal acceptance to be received from any of the invited nations. Want Expense Money. Meantime, the administration's prep aration of its own part in the confer ence was advanced by a request sent to Congress for an appropriation of l'OO.OOO as an initial budget to pay expenses of tho American representa tives and of a secretariat General. Tho sum fixed in the request and the data accompanying it apparently dis posed of any expectation that this government would pay expenses of any of the visiting delegations, for Con gress was informed specifically that the money was to be used for the American delegation and for the secretariat general alone. In making the request President Harding merely transmitted with his approval a letter written by Under Secretary Fletcher of the state De partment, who has ben placed in charge 01 physical arrangements lor the con fprcuce antrwhor prepared his -estimates after a eonferenee with Phsecto Uen- eral Dawes of tha Budget Bureau. There was so attempt to divide the sum into separata items. In the Senate it is likely that the requested appropria tion bjjl be attached to the Shipping Board appropriation bill. flews Satisfactory. News that the French Premier would attend the conference was received with manifested satisfaction here, for there has been a general expectation that should one of the powers decide to end its premier tho others would do likewise in the interest of fair reprc sentation. Not only will the presence of the foreign prehner here add greatly t.: the weight of the deliberation, but it is expected also to be a considerable help in expediting the work of the con ference. In ordinary diplomatic gath erings much time is consumed commun icating with the home governments for information and instructions ut with the highest political authorities of the various powers actually oa the ground it is hoped decisions can be made promptly and with finality.

Senator Ldd denounced the Fordney tariff as a "sop" and said that if the farmers accept it, they will be plunged more defply into debt than ever before. He urged r.n aliittice between the South and '.! e West to prevent the farmers ''front becoming tho prey of the great manufacturing- contrrd."' He declared tho bill did not afford adequate protec tion for the ugricoltuial interests. President Kirby called the congress to order and proceeded to turn the meeting over to K. P.

Kirby Makes Address An address by President Kirby, who declared that the need for a policy of protection for Southern industrial life was essential and vital now as never before in the history of the nation, featured the opening session of the-con cress. Strong denial that the associa tion is a partisan body was made by the speaker, who stated that per cent of the members of the organization at this time are Democrats. He declared that the association is" a forum open for the discussion and consideration of the tariff system of this nation and to make- rccommendatione for proper- toMI ion to the law-waken "of the country. Hits At Democrats. ' In the course of his remarks, Mr. Kirby alleged that the tariff policy of the Democratic party had always been "wobbly," and in proof of his claim he pointed out the attitude of the party which was favorable to protection as late as the beginning of the Civil War. After pointing out the evils which have been done to Southern agricultural and cattle industry by the free trade pro visions of the American tariff system, Mr. Kirby declared that the time for action had arrived ' if this nation is to avoid conditions such as exist in the nations of Western Europe. The action, he said, must take the form of pro tective tariff legislation. High tribute to the work and record of Senator F. M. Simmons, of North Carolina, was paid by President Kirby la closing his address. Wants Dye Embargo. In his address before the congress this afternoon, C. L. Parsons, secretary of the American Chemical Society, of Washington, D.

The embargo, he said, is necessary from a standpoint of preparedness and economic welfare of the country.

And the check of the mca aage is that these Republican I'rotec tionists call upon "Republicans and Democrats alike'' to embark in the Pro tection Ship. Thus these high protec tion Bcpnblieans are attempting to lead TTemocrats into the Bepnhlican fold. But there must hare been a jar for the Greensboro meeting and the Re publican fivo who sent the message in the speech of Senator Ladd, of North Dakota'. Though a Bepubliean Protec tionist, he told his hearers thrr the rn"t important thing now is not the tariff, but the question nf credits, that the Tordney tariff threw a little, sop to the farmers which is so much overweighted by the tremendous tariff rates for the manufacturers, that the farmers will be hnrt by it rather than helped, for under the Fordney tariff bill the rrices of things that the farmers buy would be increased.
