PERSONAL MEDIATION
PROFFERED ARMENIA
President Wilson Proposes to Act
Through Representative to End
Hottilities in Near East.
TfoaeVnfrfhn Vnv. 30.?President
Wilson today proffered his "personal
mediation through a representative
vhom I may designate " to end hostilities
in Armenia.
v.H&e $fer was in reply to an invitation
from Paul Hymans, president of
the council of the league of nations,
transmitting? a resolution adopted in
behalf of Armenia by the assembly
of the league at Geneva November
z2.r It .requested that "the horrors
ortlie Armenian tragedy" be brought
attention of the powers with a
'vliiw to intrusti*,flr gome power with
tke/task of taking ?the necessary
. .Measures' to stop the hostilities in
Armenia. .The United States, although
not. a member of the league,
wras; included among the nations of
the world to whom tne oroaacast mvifetion
w^s issued.
Adoption of the resolution was
preceded by some discussion of the
feasibility of organizing an international
force to intervene in Armenia,
? assailed alternately by Turkish Nationalists,
the Bolsheviki and other
Trans-Caucasian enemies. In his reife
however, Mr. Wilson said he was
without' authorization to offer or employ
the military forces of the United
States in any project for the relief
of Armenia*or any material contributions
requiring the consent of congress,
"which is not now in session
apd whose action I could not fore,
cast.!' ^
.\'r v
* The ^president declared, however,
t&ats.he. is willing, upon assurance
of the/'moral and diplomatic support

to* briagahout.peace between the
contending parties in Armenia

I "I .have the .honor to acknowledge

ftftg^itarian task of using its good
tb;,end/the present tragedy bei^g:;
enacted in Armenia, and you assare
^e that your proposal involves
na.repetition of the invitation to accept
a mandate for Armenia.
1 "While the invitation to accept the
mandate for Armenia has been repeated
by the senate of the United
S&ates, this country has repeatedly
declared its solicitude for the fate
and welfare of the Armenian people
in,a manner and to an extent that
jo^ifies ,you> in saying the fate of
. Agcmenia has always been of special
interest to the ;American people.

with the task entrusted to him of
fixing. Armenian boundaries.
Question as to.the fate of the Armenian
nation was raised in the
league assembly at Geneva by Rene
Viviani of France, who declared that
the attitude of the league toward
Armenia would constitute either vindication
or condemnation of the

it was added, will furnish the

machinery and the information nec:essary
to carry out his mediation
plans.
Geneva, Nov. 30 (By the Associated
Press).?The Armenian committee
of the league of nations up ^ a
late hour tonight had not received
President Wilson's reply to the request
for mediation in Armenia nor
the reply of any of the other governments
addressed, and had not yet de
cided on ar.y plan of action.
The committee has been consulting
Afferent military advisers on
(various plans proposed for a settlement
of the hostilities in Armenia.
One of the plans discussed was the
appointment of a high commissioner
for Armenia who would be empow
ered to receive contributions to finance
whatever action might appear
proper, for instance, the arming *of
the Armenians themselves and providing
officers to conduct a campaign
against Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the
Turkish nationalist leader.
In this connection one of the
names mentioned was that of Gen.
Leonard Wood, but it can not be confirmed
that his name has been considered
by the Armenian committee.
PLIGHT OF FARMERS .
TAKEN TO CONGRESS
j *
: AmiVnlftipfil f of HoutC
| - and Senate Hold Joint Se?.
sion.
Washington, Dec. 2.?The plight
of farmers due to falling prices was
taken today to congress.
Agricultural committees of the
senate and house in joint session began
hearings on conditions brought
about by falling prices .preliminary
to devising relief measures. They
decided to ask Secretary Houston and
Governor Harding of the federal reserve
board to come before them to
morrow after Eugene Meyer, Jr.,
former head of the war finance corporation,
had declared that rehabilitation
of that body would go a long
step toward "furnishing the desired
relief by financing exports of surplus
crops.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska
told the conference he planned to introduce
measures making available
the profits of the federal reserve
j banks, amounting to about $00,000,
! 000 for loans to agricultural imer!
ests. Governor Harding, with whom
i the Nebraska senator conferred, isj
sued a statement saying: That the
matter was one riot within the province
of the board as it concerns the
ti?e of funds which the law required
should be paid into the treasury*
Several Pleas Made.
Legislation extending a billion
dollar credit to r arm any was advovocated
before tne joint- committee
by J. J. Brauer of New York, who
claimed to represent the German government,
while Senator Smoot of
Utah announced ne wouiu propose an
embargo on imports of wool for relief
of American wool growers in a
bill he will offer "Monday.
Representative Campbell of Kansas
su^ sted that profits of the
grain corporation, about 00,000,000,
be made available for loans to
farmers.
Mr. Meyer told the joint committee
that the act creating the war finance
corporation was passed four
months after the armistice ,and intended
by congress to bridge over
the situation by financing exports
until normal economic conditions
were .restored. He said conditions
J
now were those which congress had in
mind in enacting the measure, and
that restoration of the corporation
.'would have a tremendous stabilizing
effect. "* j
Corn for Coal ? '
Farmers in some sections pf Nebraska
have said they will burn
i their corn because at current prices
I it would not pay for coal, L. 0. S. j
Scroyer, secretary of the Farmers')
union, asserted. He urged further
; credits, immediate financing to ex-1
port surplus crops, a protective tariff
and appointment of a "dirt farmer"
as secretary of agriculture. I
Opposition to the "revamping" of
wot +irvto crrtVAmmfmt agencies for
T??.l W..V f-,~
peace time operation was expressed
in a statemtnt bv Senator Edge. Re'

Here is William R. Hearst, Jr., n
film hero was caught one dark nigl
famous publisher and was taken un;
publican, of New Jersey. He was
anxious, he said, to help the farmers
I and other classes equally, but added
| that consumers were tired of high
prices.
"The only durable and infallible'
barometer of business is the law of
supply and demand," Senator Edge
said, "and to set up an artificial, uneconomic
and false structure for the
maintenance of prices because some
certain industries are suffering is
I only postponing the evil day when
all business and industry, including
the farmers, inevitably must face the
music."
The joint committee hearings may
continue through next Tuesday.

OF COTTON IN DECEMBER
Export Corporation Will Make its
First Shipment of* Cotton to Eu- ,
pean Countries This Month.
I
Columbia."Record, 3rd.
The American Products Export
and Import corporation is now an accomplished
fact. With the granting
of its charter by the secretary* of
state Wednesday, the corporation,
designed td furnish the' connecting
link between tne souinern prouucer
j and the European consumer begins
actual operation. Within the pres-1
ent month, and considerably before
'Christmas, the corporation intends]
|making its initial shipment of cot-;
ton to Europe, and thereafter shipJments
will be regularly made, thus
i , _
reopening the overseas market for
the South'* staple. The. stimulating
effect ucn pthe domestic market will
1 soon be reflected, in the opirijen of
i those who have fostered this co:ii
structive movement.
! It was or; October 7 tlr.'.l ihe coUunj
| export corporation movement was
jlaunched at a meeting; held in Co-j
j himbi-a, ni \v}ii<-h time, ;is. vv ill hr* re- j

j meeting nearly upwards of *$1 1
I 000 of the capital slock of the cor-1
poration has been placed, the larger!
part of this amount has been paid in
cotton, cash and Liberty bonds, all j
preliminary arrangements have been
iqpdc for the successful operation of
the corporation, connections have
i been established with European buy-i
ers, credits have been arranged, and
the American Products Export and
Import corporation begins actual
business operations. This is said to
be a record for accomplishment
which will challenge not only admiration
but even greater 'interest among
the farmers' and business'interests of
this and other cotton growing states
and which is calculated to carry the
conviction that the South means business
in what it has set about to do?
to establish, through itfc Own efforts
and on its own initiative, the market
facilities which have been needed and

To Increase Capital.
White the corporation is chartered
for the present with a capital of only
$2,000,000, this does not mean that
it will be limited to this,capitalizaion.
To the contrary, the original proposal
to capitalize at $10J?00,000, will be
carried out. The present capital will
be increased from time to time. The
sale of stock is progressing and will
continue until the whole of the $10,000,000
is placed. So far practically
all the stock has been placed in South
I /">??i;

The movement will now extend to
other Southern states, while still
more stock will be offered in Sout*h
Carolina. Charter was secured on
