The Porter plan provides for the re duction and restriction of the growing of opium-making poppies and for a system of import licenses under the control of the governments; for full superintendence of the marketing of the drug, from, the manufactory to the prescription counter; and for the com plete outlawing of heroin. It also pro vides that certain countries that per mit the importation of certain narcotic drugs reduce their’Imports by 10 per cent annually 'and finally shut out those drugs entirely. NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Commission Begins Study of Ailments of Agriculture— Porter’s Opium Plan By EDWARD W. PICKARD T HERE seems now to he an actual chance that the worst ailments of American agriculture will be discov ered and remedies for them devised. The commission appointed for tills purpose by Phesident Coolldge has been given the fullest latitude by him and has begun its task in a way that shows it means business. But it realizes tiie magnitude of the work and holds out no hope that its conclu sion* can he laid before congress at file approaching short session, as the ( despite the success of Japan in intlu- em-lng the drawing up of the proposed security, arbitration and disarmament protocol are having their effect. The British government lias asked the League of Nations council to postpone indefinitely consideration of the proto col, on tiie ground that it lias not had time to study It. British officials de nied this meant the scrapping of the agreement, -saying a substitute might l»e offered. In Washington tiie action was viewed as the beginning of read justments in which (ireut Britain wiwld gruduaily turn away from Japan and defer more to the attitude of tiie United States. It will lie remembered that, . as drawn up, the protocol per mits Japan to appeal to the League of Nations against any nation that ex cludes the. Japanese,, as does tiie Unit ed States. One early result of the British ac- New Zealand and Canada that they propose to keep themselves “white" President had thought possible. It will have some recommendations to make at that time, to meet emergen cies, however. One of these will have, to do with the cattle industry, which has not shown tiie signs of recovery that Either branches of farming have shown this fall. The cattlemen have been unable to obtain credit and have been marketing their young stock pre maturely, and many of them have gone into bankruptcy. To begin with, the commission nr- -anged for the .co-operation of all the bureau chiefs of the Department of Agriculture and called on them for great amounts of information from many sources. When tills is at hand the real work will start. The commis sion is composed of real farmers and live stock men and three of the mem- J*ers are heads of big farm organiza tions. Former (low R. I). Carey Is chairman. In a preliminary talk con cerning tiie work lie said: “One of the first requests of the commission was for a digest of tiie large number of agricultural hills In troduced in the last session of con gress and still pending. In tills ism- nectlon co-operative marketing of ag ricultural products will come in for special attention. The present laws hearing upon co-operative marketing will be closely studied and the co-op erative hills now pending in congress will he considered. “Information lias been requested by the commission on all phases of tiie tariff, including protection afforded agriculture under the present law and upon what basis the tariff in each case was determined. “Present powers of the fedeniPgov ernment with respect to (inarantlne regulations for the protection of differ ent branches of agriculture will lie considered. This subject win be Taken up in its entire scope. TncludTiig retal iations between the United States and 1 foreign countries, as between various j states, and between tiie federal govern-1 ment and the various slates. “One of the most important studies to. lie undertaken by The commission will have to dowitii foreign competi tion of American agricultural prod nets. This will involve an imestiga tion of the costs of foreign products witii which major American products compete and a study of the main ob stacles with reference to ''exporting surplus products from thN country.’’ tion may he the culling of a conference by President Uoolidge to consider the further reduction of naval strength and of land forces. He hud this in mind last summer, but dropped the plan when a similar conference was proposed by the league. This latter project, it Is believed, must now be postponed or entirely abandoned be cause of tiie British request. \ r (>UN(jL Mr. Hilbert, agent general for reparations, bus run against bis ffrst big snag.V-Tlie entente na tions have been collecting, through re covery acts, a 20 per cent tax on Her man imports, and Mr. Hilbert lias noti fied alie Herman minister of tlnance that after December 1 the reparations j agent will collect such moneys, but will' not reimburse tin* Herman government for them. Mr. Hilbert- meant tlds as ■in ns^rtiAn oi th^ junsnioiidn of HiF transfer commission over all repara tions money. It is Hot an attack on the recoveries.. .US- -Hcritians at ill’st hoped it was. Tiie French especially arc displeased with Mr. Hilbert's ac tion. They assert they will continue to collect the tax and that it Iftts noth ing to do with the Dawes plan,. The British are said to take ihe sane* atti- : tilde. The dispute may lie referred to !a neutral expert, as pro\ bled in the iMues plan. U'STIIONTA Is going ahead resolute- ly with tiie triajs of about two hundred Communists accused of revo lutionary plotting, and several have been executed, despite tiie demands and threatening actions of soviet Rus sia. There are daily demonstrations before the Ksthonlan consulate in Moscow, arranged by officials of the Third Internationale, and along the Ksthonlan border are large concentra tions of soviet troops. f I 'WO ministries quit, office last week, that of Portugal, because pariia ment refused it a vote of confidence, and that of Finland because the diet accepted measures providing pensions for state officials. The new govern ment of Mexico took office, ’Halles bid ing inaugurated President. v »v— T UMBEKMKN from 40 states and Canada heard a most impressive lecture from President Uoolidge Inst week, and It was made more emphatic by moving pictures. His subject was tiie waste of lumber that, together with our neglect of , reforestation, threatens to, exhaust tiie supply In about two-score years. “Between cut ting timber in the woods and ffnally putting the product to use.” lie said, “nearly two-thirds of the total Volume is lost.” At tiie present rate of cut ting. tills waste amounts to more than 1 d,000,(100,000 cubic feet annually. A third of tills enormous lyss, tiie Presi dent told ids hearers, can be saved with tried and approved methods. He told them how rapidly overcutting and tire are denuding tiie land of forests, and said tiie government was going to ask them to consider definite plans. T HE American Federation of Labor is in convention in El Paso, Texas, and probably will have before it moil ing more exciting than tiie row be tween the United Mine Workers of America and tiie Uoul River Collieries company, which is owned by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. Early in tiie proceedings a resolution was introduced censuring, tiie actions and attitude of the coal company and (ondemnlng Warren S. Stone, chair man of Its hoard of directors and president of the engineers’ brother hood. A warm fight over this was promised in committee, and also on the ffoor if it were recommended for adoption. John L. Lewis, head of the mine workers, was indorsed for Hie pj^ sit ion of -ecretury of labor. President Dumpers, in ids opening address, inti mated that lie would soon be com pelled by age to relinquish Ids activl ties, hut there was little question of ids re-election for another term.
