AUSTRIA DEMANDS
RIGHT TO ARM FOR
' SELF PROTECTION
(By The Associated Press)
UNDATED, Nov. 20—Civilized warfare as man-kind’s
right to fight as he pleases, as commented and acted upon
by the most powerful nations of the world, was brought in
an argument by Austria, in demanding of the Disarmament
Conference at Geneva, the right to build up her fighting
power.
She stated she was too weak to protect her independ
ence against an aggressor.
The United States today proposed that the manufacturing
and sale of arms be licensed and inspected by an Interna
tional Commission which would make public just who was
arming for w^r and to what extent.
Meanwhile Japan launched some of her new cruisers
with heavy armaments.
France and Great Britain were said to be sympathetic
to the American proposal. Spain and Sweden also approv
ed of the suggestion made by United States delegates. Italy
is understood to be considering it, and from unofficial sour
ces is supposed to have stated that it was alright in princi
ple but impossible of execution.
.PARLEY DEADLOCKED
Great Britain, United States, and Japan are still dead
locked in the London Naval Conversations, after Japan re
fused to accept the British compromise.
Japan was granted equality in principle but not in ton
nage. Japan is still demanding parity in tonnage.
With such a general survey of the conflicting points of
view over the disarmament question, nothing appears more
likely than that the nations will proceed along the same
lines they have followed for the past hundred years, of pre
paring for war during time of peace and being sure that
the “other fellow” did not get ahead of you.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20—The recov
ery of sixty million dollars, the un
paid portion of the ninety millions

Trust Company.
The suit was filed in the Federal
Court by the Reconstruction Cor

liability is to be determined under
the statutes providing for double
indemnity. The suit places the
amount of such stock at fourteen

million dollars while the original
loan amounted to ninety millions.
Ten millidn dollars of this credit
was never claimed.
