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

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.

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.
