By EDWARD W. 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

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. Several comin nit
