PICKARD n A Li Europe and in a lesser degree all America is interested in the ti selection of a pope to succeed Blene- S diet XV. The sacred college has been a summoned to meet on February 2 for 0 this purpose and the cardinals are a all hurrying to Rome. Those from t( the United States and Canada cannot K reach the Eternal city in time for the 1 opening of the conclave unless it Is 0 postponed, and may be too late even N to participate in the election. This, n however, is unlikely, since the cam paign, if one may so .term it, is be coming so complicated that the choice of a pope may he delayed. According t to Italian correspondents, the main t 7ssue is again what is called the i Roman question-the question of re- c lations beinen '" n~ ' 'enn and the t rdlnalsq, who r e sacrefi col- I 'o camps on ri ing the poll- ai redl a strong o the Italian r g for line pproemnent t with the Itallian government, lending t up to final rec-onciliaition.

Governor Evans of ernor's annual visit to the Manua group. The gentlemen from the Chita gov ermuent must perforce be content with this, and it may be said that there is no ipparent reason to doubt the good faith of .Japan in the imatter. The four powers signatory to the I'aelie treaty have agreed to ian ex change of notes drilining the treaty as not applicable to the mainniand of .Japan. \\ihether this inc ludes the ionin and LOOChoo islands, as Japan wishes, is not yet known. All three of the chief parties in the Japlanese diet, which opened last wegek, are on record as approving the results of the Washington conference. U P lt-p EE hundred delegates to the agricultural conference called by Secretary Wallace were in session in Washington, and conisiderable friction developed during their deliberations. The farmers bluntly set forth their woes, and President ilirding andi Mr. Wanllace let them know that the con clusions reached by the conference would form the bisie for a drive by the administration to obtain for them relief measures from congress. Not only temporary relief will be asked. but measures that shall so stabilize agriculture that there will be greater remuneration for the farmer and lower prices for the consumer. Before the conference had been in session two days insurgency made its appearance. Some delegates deglared the purpose of those responsible for the meeting was the destruction of the agricul tural bloc in congress. Making the same charge, the Farmers' National council started a conference of its t own on Friday. PRESIDENT HARDING has given hearty approval to the St. Law rence waterway project, and under his direction Secretary of State Hughes already is negotiating with the government of Great Britajn for a treaty under which the United States and Canada can undertake the project jointly. The report of thne international joint commnission, which was miade to the house, caused a sharp pinlariment ary fight.
