He said in part: "The reason Senator Harding has nc definite plan to offer in substitution foi the league of nations is because he doe; not dare suggest to the mothers ol America the only alternative there is namely, a return to international 'normalcy' of 1914, with autocratic modarchs and sudden ultimatums, ant secret diplomacy, and burdensome armaments. "Of course the reason Senator Harding has no substitute to suggest foi the league of nations is becausi everything else has been tried and ha; failed. The interparliamentary unior held international conferences for f decade before the great war; Tht Hague court had been 'functioning for more than fifteen years?but botl were impotent to prevent or ever postpone the catastrophe.

That Germany should be welcomed into the league of nations and "treated as well as any other nation" was stated by Gov.

[ Several other persons, mostly with pronounced u-erman accents, questioned the governor at different points. Some appeared friendly and caused the governor to give his views on questions interesting his audiences. "We have no concern about any national bitterness in America," the governor said. "The war is over and Germany should be treated just as well as any other nation. The Germans are a very thrifty, hard-working people.

On PLAN CONFERENCE ON HOUS QUESTION Co-operation of commercial and business internets of Washington in solving the housing shortage win be sought by tbe Real Estate Brokers' Association as an initial step in its investigation of the serious building situation confronting the city, it was indicated today by Charles W. Fairfax, chairman of tbe special committee appointed last night by Gee D. Latimer, president of the association. It is planned to call a general conference of representatives of the building, financial, real estate and business Interests of Washington for the purpose of working out a solu tion or the nuuaing program, our. I Fairfax said. The committee will lose no time in getting down to work, \ realizing that delay means farther " demoralization of the building industry. Lack of Money Felt. . Virtually all the problems affect' ing real estate circles today are traceable to the lack of money for building, it was pointed out by the committee chairman. This dearth of funds is almost entirely due to the steady flow of money out of Washington and into the coffers of organizations foreign to this city, he said. It is with a view to stemming this ebb of currency and thereby rehabilitating industries in the District that the decision to ask the co-operation of merchants and professional men was reached, he explained. The committee appointed by Mr. Latimer is representative of all branches of the real estate field, including the financial, building and purely real estate interests. Besides Mr. Fairfax, the committee is composed of the following: Edmund D. " Itheem. Morton Luchs. H. L. Rust, B. e F. Saul, Thomas Bradley, Harry e Wardman, Bates Warren and David e Dunigan. "More people In Washington means more business for local merchants and 1 professional men," declared Mr. Fair1 fax. "It is necessary, in order to In* crease the population, to provide more houses. At present the tight moneymarket has resulted in a virtual susk pension of home building in the Disf trict of Columbia.

DENVER. Col., September 29.?Dis sension in the democratic party an' the intrusion of the Non-Partisa League in state affairs by eapturini the democratic primaries have jus about ruined the chances of Gov. Co in Colorado. Although the democratic nomine for governor has indorsed Cox. th rank and file of the Non-Partita League voters are free to vote th farmer-labor ticket, and many c them will. This will cost Cox mor votes than the republicans. Similarly the regular democrats have been s antagonized by the Non-Partisa League forces that many of ther were not at all pleased when Got Cox received the league's nominee fo Ij governor in his private car and hob nobbed with him while in Colorado. Drive on Non-Partisan. So much more attention, however, ha been given to the bitter fight on stat affairs that the effort to drive out th ' Non-Partisan League overshadows al # else. Thus the Denver Post, hlthert a democratic paper and one of the In fluences in the 19115 campaign for Wil ?' son. is lukewarm on the presidentia business. It has developed a more o less neutral attitude on the Cox-Hardin controversy and is devoting all its ef forts to a fight on the democratic Non-Partisan League ticket, rf Similarly the Denver Times, althoug' 7 ?. strong advocate of the league of na -? tions, is supporting Harding on th theory- evidently that he win abando: Senator Johnson after the election. Any way, there is not a newspaper of larg an influence in Colorado that is helpin en Cox. The Ohio governor is up agains to a difficult proposition?the democrat! led organization is disrupted and disor ganized. "a- The audience that greeted the gov len ernor on his arrival in Denver wa ny enthusiastic and cordial.

They say nice things abon the governor and think he is makint lat a good campaign, but they don' 've think he will carry Colorado. How different things are from th IQlfi When the unrite reached Colorado in his swing aroun the circle four years ago the friendli ness to Wilson was unmistakabli Every straw vote in this vicinit favors Harding. Republican leader in 19X6 told me privately they couldn' D carry Colorado and would lose th state by 10.000 majority. Presiden Wilson carried it by 70.000, and thi time the democrats who ought t know predict a Harding victory by a least 20.000. tes Inpatient tor Change. ^ The league of nations is not a con jje trolling factor in the election. Ther ;at is only one factor, the impatience for , ler change of administration, mt Furthermore, the democratic lab* rill has gotten a black eye by its asso ciation with the Non-Partisan Lieagut he 1? the desire to vote against the dem -se ocratic state ticket many old-iin r a democrats will vote for Harding an >y. the whole republican ticket.

PRICE TO BE DEBATED | BY PRODUCERS OF MILK , 5 Maryland and Virginia Executive Committee Will Act on Bequest II of Citizen Federation. 31 The executive committee of the Maryland and Virginia Milk Proi ducers' Association will meet in , f Washington tomorrow afternoon to consider the request of the Federation 8 of Citizens' Associations that they act cept 42 cents instead of 44 cents per . gallon for their product this winter. r If the producers accept the 42-cent > price, it will make possible a retail price to the consumer of 17 cents a J quart, the federation believes.
