HARDING ASSOCIATION OF NATIONS
Tentatively Broached to Disarmament Con
ference Last Week.,
ting her navy ns much as suggested
President Harding’s plan for
Association of Nations was suggested
informally at the international con
ference lust week, and will be one of
the matters that will doubtless finally
receive favorable action.
This has been regarded as one of
the features of the President’s plan
for the Conference, and was hinted at
in the Chinese proposals which had
the assent of tho United States rep
resentatives.
.Japan is trying to get. out of cut-
in the Hughes plnn.
China’s proposals arc just, and are
receiving careful attention. Foreign
postal and court officials are to be
withdrawn, and all soldiers except
those specifically provided for by
treaties.
The question of fortifications in the
Pacific is a knotty one, and is being
warmly discussed. Senator W. J.
Harris is certainly right in insisting
thut we fortify the Hawuinn Islands—
especially in view of Japan’s evident
reluctance to cut down her navy.

“Wo Build” being the Kiwanis
motto, nnd there being no better
"building material" in the world than
the boys of this country, it was very
appropriate that the Kiwanis Club of
Cedartown should fall into line nnd
give tho Boy Scouts its hearty en
dorsement..
A number of gentlemen remained
after the luncheon, and a fine start
was made in securing the necessary
subscriptions to put Polk in line with
her sister counties.
This is u movement in which the
whole county is interested, for Pa

Chairman Mundy your cordial co-op
