TREATY MINUTES
WERE NOT KEPT
Washington, Feb. 20. ? President
Harding informed the senate today
he could not comply with its request
for records of the four power Pacific
treaty because no such records
ever existed and because he considered
it incompatible with public interest
to reveal "informal and confidential
conversations."
The president's five sentence reply
to the resolution of inquiry sent to
the White House last week was accepted
by those in charge of the
treaty at the capitol as closing the
incident, although at the same time it
aroused increased dissatisfaction
rmong senators who instigated the
move for complete information. A
proposal to call Secretary Hughes be

been introduced by Senator Hitchcock
of Nebraska, senior Democratic member
of the committee, was as follows:
"Responsive to senate resolution No.
137, asking for records, minutes, arguments,
debates, conversations, etc., relating
to the socalled four power
<ii t?aty, ?have to advise that It la Impossible
to comply with the senate's
request. Many of the things asked
for in the resolution it is literally
impossible to furnish, because there
were many conversations and discussions
quite outside the conference, yet
vital to its success. Naturally these
are without record.
"I do not believe it to be compatible
with public interests or consistent
with the amenities of international
negotiations to attempt to reveal informal
and confidenial conversations
or discussions of which no record was
kept, or to submit tentative suggestions
or informal proposals without
which the arrival at desirable international
understandings wolud be rendered
unlikely if not impossible.
"While I am unable to transmit the
information requested, I do, however,
take this opportunity to say most
emphatically that there were no con
ceaied unaertaKings ana no secret exchanges
of notes and there are no
commitments whatever, except as appear
in the foru power treaty itself
and the supplementary agreement,
which are now in the hands of the
senate."

L?;;.
lore ine ioreign relations committee
was revived momentarily, but without
any immediate prospect of success.
Meantime the committee took its
first formal action on any of the international
agreements negotiated
during the arms conference by reporting
favorably the Japanese-American
treaty by which the United States is
accorded cable and wireless rights
on the Pacific island of Yap. The
committee leaders later made known
their purpose to press the treaty toward
a vote on the senate floor, in<"~-\ting
that debate on it might begi
tomorrow. (
On the Yap treaty the committee
divided ten to one, Senator Pittman
(Democrat) of Nevada alone voting
in the negative because he felt that
insufficient committee consideration
had been given to the treaty. Several
other senators, both Democrats and
Republican, declared during the two
hour committee sessions that they also
reserved the right to debate further
some features of the past on the senate
floor.

the manufacturers have no means o)
anticipating just what the demand i;
going to be and naturally do not fee
justified in building a large numbei
of machines on a gamble. The con
sequence is that machine productior
will probably more or less keep pact
with visible business and there is little
prospect of a surplus of machines
being prepared and thus placed at tht
disposal of those suddenly deciding
to poison at the last moment. Oui
advice is decide now whether or not
you are going to prepare to poison

price of the various machines has already
been announced for the year
The various one mule machines are all
between $100 and $125, while the twc

between $250 and $300. These prices
are fairly reasonable in proportion tx

MUST NOT DELAY
POISONING PI,AN!
The following statement is made b;
B. R. Coad of the Delta laboratory
bureau of entomology, United State
department of agriculture, Tallulali
La.:
"A rather peculiar situation has de
veloped which promises disappoint
ment to many cotton farmers wh<
wish to poison the weevil this yea
if some steps are not taken to remedi
it. For the past several years vari
ous machine manufacturers have beei
taking up the production of cottoi
dusting machinery and have tume<
out limit numbers for the trade whicl
developed. However, they hav<
always been confronted with the fac
that many farmers would defer pur
chasing dusting materials in somi
vain hope that the wdfevils were noi
to be abundant until so late that i
was impossible to secure deliveries ii
time for, best results. During th<
past several months we have been can
vassing the results the farmers se
curea last year and tind too trequen
repetition of a statement to the effect
that the machines were delayed it
shipment and did not reach them urn
til a few days or a few weeks latei
than the time they were really needed
and consequently poisoning hecann
more expensive and less successful
It is now quite obvious that the spring
of 1922 is Roinp: to see an abnormallj
beavy emergence of weevils, ant
while this may be somewhat olfsel
by summer weather conditions, then
is no excuse for delay in securing
equipment if you are tfoinp to poisor
the weevils this year. Furthermore
WEEKS SUBMITS
I ALABAMA OFFER

ment by Secretary Weeks today that
s he would ask congress tomorrow for
i. acceptance or rejection of the Alabama
Power company's offer to pur
chase and Lease the Muscle Shoals
- (Ala.) nitrate and water power pro5
jects, submitted to him last Tuesr
day, added to the possibilities of furf
ther delay in congress on considera
tion of Henry Ford's offer for the
1 same properties. The Alabama com1
pany's offer, it was said, probably
* would be referred to the military af1
fairs committee of the house and agp
ricultural committee of the senate,
^ both of which are engaged in investigating
the Ford proposal. Chair?
man Kahn announced today that the
^ house body would conclude its study
of the offer submitted by the Detroit
1 manufacturer before undertaking
" hearings on the new proposal, but
would not report them separately to
the house.
The plan in recommending acceptance
or rejection of the offers to the
1 full membership of the house, the
chairman said, would be to prepare a
joint report on all proposals congress
I might receive. In this manner, it
was explained, the Ford offer would
remain in the committee's hands pre'r
venting action by the house until all
j the proposals the war secretary
j might submit were thoroughly inves,
tigated.
Mr. Kahn said he expecten to con'
elude the hearings on Mr. Ford's offer
this week and would immediately
p begin an examination of that from
, the Alabama Power company which,
I Secretary Weeks indicated today, was
. considered a ".better offer"''in some

BONUS PROllEM
NOT YH SOLVED
Washington, Feb. <B-The question
of financing the solffts' bonus was
referred back today tflthe special tax
subcommittee by thewiajority members
of the bouse ws and means
committee and it tytuZnnounced that
the subcommittee wwd attack the
problem again tomorBr.
The trend of thougSin cloak room
and corridors was thUwome sort of a
manufacturers' or tBolesalers' tax
plan would be drafte?in accord with
President Hardings' ??ggcstion that
the financing be done m a sales tax.
In an effort to bloci; the sales tax
within the committee! 22 Republican
opponents of this kindi>' levy met and
framed petitions which were freely
circulated and signed iefore the house
adjourned for the dai*. Representative
Dickinson of Iowa who called the
meeting, said it was'ihe hope to obtain
sufficient signatvcs to convince
the majority committee members that
it would be impossihlj j to put a sales '
tax provision throughout the house.
The petition dedal es in favor of
adjusted eompensatio* but in opposition
to the financing ' >f it by a sales
or manufacturers' tax and sets forth
that its signers "will pppose any rule
for the adjusted compensation that
does not permit a separate vote on i
any sales or manufacturers' tax provision
therein." V
While the ways and'means committee
was discussing th?! bonus question
it was made known -at the. White
House that President Harding had received
many communftations opposing
enactment of the bonds legislation for
the present. At the 'same time the
American Legion's legislative committee
made public a telegram from Hanford
MacNider, the legion's national
commander, opposing any frther delay
in the bouus legislation.
It was said that the communications
reaching Mr. Harding In opposition to
immediate enactment of the bonus
outnumbered those favoring action at
this time, but it was added that many
of those opposing th% bill showed a
Much of the discussales
tax provision could be voted out
of the ways and means committee.
Representative Garner of Texas, the
rankAg Democrat on the committee,
said the eight minority members
would vote solidly against such a tax.
On this basis five Republican votes
would defeat the proposal and it was
understood that present estimates
were that four of the 17 Republicans
would be against with two others
probably doubtful.
Representative Dickinson reiterated
that if the agricultural bloc was unsuccessful
in its effort to block the
sales tax in committee it would take
r determined stand in the Republican
conference which is to be called to
consider the bill.
If the committee fails to report out
a sales tax it seemed to be the somewhat
general opinion that the house
yvould ge a bill without any specific
provision for financing the adusted
compensation.

SEN. CHRISTENSEN
WOULD RESIGN
Declaring thut the senate was opposed
to his views on the important
tax program and that "business has
won in the senate against agriculture
in a crisis when agriculture is in desperate
straits," Senator Neils Christensen,
chairman of the upper house
finance committee, last night handed
in his resignation as chairman of this
important committee, but the senate
by a unanimous vote refused to accept
it.
Following urgent pleas from Senator
Johnstone of Newberry, Senator
Watkins of Anderson and Senator
Watkins of Anderson and Senator
Duncan of Union that the resignation
not be accepted, the upper house refused
to accede to the request of Mr.
Christensen that he be allowed to retire
from the chairmanship and also
extended a vote of confidence to Mr.
Christeenscn unanimously.
After the senate had refused to accept
the resignation and had extended
the vote of confidence, Senator Johnstone
moved that further considera
tion of the matter, if there was to be
further consideration, be postponed
until today, which was agreed to.
Senator Christensen plainly told the
senate last night that lie would insist
upon being relieved as chairman.
but after the upper house had adjourned"
a number of senators gathered
around the chairman and urged
him to press no longer his resignation.
Senator Christenson said the
matter was linal with him.?The
State.
