U. S. STAND ON SOVIET AFFECTS PACT CHANCES Nonpartisan Leader Says Attitude Hurts Peace and Economic Stability. WASHINGTON,- Jan. 26.—Continued refusal of the Administration to . recognize the present Russian soviet government and Mexican government, as well as its attitude toward China, is certain to prove a determining factor in the international situation now confronting the Senate, it was declared today by Senator Ladd, nonpartisan Republican of North Dakota. Senator Ladd is one of those on the Republican side who have announced they are keeping an open mind” with respect to the decisions of the armament conference and whose votes may determine the fate of the four power Pacific and otoher treaties evolved by it. The reported declination of the American Government to participate in the Genoa economic conference because of the invitation extended to the Russian soviet government to attend, it was declared by Senator Ladd, “if true, to have been a grave mistake.” "We cannot expect any lasting results for world peace from any conference unless nations like Russia, China and Mexico are taken into consideration and are given a voice in wahtever International policies the United States and other powers may agree to,” Ladd said. ‘T believe that the Russian soviet and Mexican governments should be recognized by the American Government without any further delay. China is another nation whose millions of present a problem that must be sowed if there is to be genuine and permanent world peace.” In his judgment, Ladd continued, the foreign debt funding bill, consideration of which was resumed by the Senate today, is but one phase of a highly important economic and financial situation which affected the American people, as well as the rest of the civilized world.” WORLD UNREST SHOWS LITTLE IMPROVEMENT (Continued From Page One.) all the people and not merely the banking group. But that Is a matter of appointments and not a matter for special legislation. Any law crippling the efficiency of this board is certain sooner or later to react disastrously upon the farmer as well as upon others. The farmers have never had an effective organization in this country, and It is to be hoped that they are now on their way to have one. They have received less through legislation and have suffered more because of legislation inimical to their interests than any other class of our people. They are the backbone of our civilization aad should be strengthened in every legitimate way. They work harder and longer hours than any other class and as a whole are more uncomplaining, and to help living conditions among them is merely to help ourselves. Their conditions should be bettered to such a degree that the tendency should be to the farms rather than to the cities. SPECIAL LAWS NOT REQUIRED. To bring this about they do not need such legislation as some of their spokesmen seek. Immediate relief would come to them if the markets of the world were in condition to buy their products and if they themselves were able to buy the necessities of life at prices which would allow them to sell their products at a profit. They of all people are independent of special legislation in their behalf. What they need is wise and efficient governmental service in both foreign and domestic affairs and a square deal. * They hare not had this in the past and they should now demand it. They should be in the future what they have been in the past—the balance wheel of the republic. Their organization should become politically effective in the blocking of special and extravagant legislation and economically effective in the marketing of their produce and the betterment of living conditions. Their highest achievement should be to set an example of wholesome and unselfish patriotism which their fellow countrymen should seek to follow. —Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

SAYS HIGHWAY BURDEN OUGHT TO BE DIVIDED (Continued From Page One.) the doctors’ bill; from the farm gate to the cottage In the city and back from the great manufacturing plant of the East to the plow and reaper In the cultivated fields. “The auto has possession of the road, delivering its freight by thousands of tons and intermixing the city with the country folk. The city dweller now bears witness to the fact with an increasing awakening that he has hgen sharing all along the waste, expenses and inexcusable cost of delivery to him in all that he buys to sustain him in food, clothing and comfort.” Thf speaker said the city had. In most instances, come to the rescue. He used, as an example, Ohio, where "city property contributed 65 per cent of the halfmile levy for construction of her intercounty roads.” He said more than half ,of the $6,850,D0Q auto tax used solely for maintenance of road was paid by city residents. The $100,000,000 Federal aid recently voted by Congress for roadbuilding, he said, was paid from sources within the cities of the country. SPEAK AT AFTERNOON SESSION.

Still others, a large and conscientious class, are acutely conscious of lacking the sense of color harmony and suffer much mental anguish over the chromatic problems involved in buying garments and w earing them.

CALIFORNIA ‘DIRT FARMER’ LIGHTS FUSE (Continued From Page One.) to receive committee reports from which will emerge conference recommendations. LABOR TO HEAD OFF RUMP CONFERENCE. Calmer heads among the lnsuregents of the agriculture conference labored today to head off the rump conference by ppointing the way to a coupe at expense of the administration. This would take the form of calling upon President Harding to enact a relief program as provided In his opening address to the conference with an added price guarantee or other insurance features. Anew complication to the already long list plle<l up during the three days is promised when Sam Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, * delegate, places labor’s position before th. conference. Gompers fears that cuts in freight rates will be translated into lower wages for workers all along the line. He will tell the conference that labor cannot be expected to be the "goat.” BITTER BATTLE IN PROSPECT. Feeling was tense as the conference neared the end of its speech making program. At the afternoon session the committees were to make their reports and recommendations to the conference. The insurgents are ready to bring in minority reports on every question that docs not meet their approval and to introduce resolutions which they think vital to agrlI culture. This Is expected to precipitate ' a series of bitter battles. The insurgents ; believe they will be defeated by the overwhelming conservative vote. If the Insurgents carry out their plans they will hold a rump conference Friday night. But if the saner leaders prevail their strength will be thrown into a fight for adoption of President Harding's program. In this the leaders believe they will be successful as'the Administration forces will be compelled to support the President’s suggestions. An effort will be made to add a price guarantee point. If the Administration will legalize cooperative marketing, reduce freight rates, extend liberal credits and give the farmer some sort of insurance against heavy loss, such as a price guarantee or some other form of price stabilization, agriculture will have all the desired legislation the most far-seeing of the progressives declare. NEEb PRE-WAR BUYING

POWER OF DOLLAR. Unless Uncle Sam’s dollar gets back to pre-war buying power so that the supply and demand for footstuffs in the United States can be equalized, AmerW will be essentially a food importing nation within from fifteen to twenty years. Dr. E. D. Ball, director of scientific work In the United States Department of Agriculture, told the National Agriculture conference. 'Aggressive action must be taken by the whole American people at once or foreign markets will have to be relied upon if the millions of Americans wish to eat, Dr. Ball said. Those who believe the Nation’s farming depression is due largely to overproduction and no market demand, received a staggering blow from the speaker. WORLD SUFFERS FROM UNDERCONSUMPTION. “The fact is there is no overproduction,” he said. “What the world is suffering from is underconsumption. There is not enough food in the world at present to provide for normal consumption. The Nation is rapidly coming to a condition in which the food balance is going to be definitely against us, unless it is made one of tbe major problems for national consideration." Conference delegates, ready to receive committee re'porta which will demand Government intervention in agricultural difficulties, were told by other speakers that agrarian perplexities cannot be left solely to the Government for solution. With the insurgent movement in the parley, out in the open, the session promised verbal pyrotechnics. Dr Ball was the first speaker on a lengthy program given over to discussion of national policies for land utilization, agricultural research and the need of conservation of forests “If the day comes that the United States will have to reply upon foreign markets for foodstuffs, the West will suffer loss of much of its manufacturing industries,” Dr. Bali declared. “Continuation of the alternate excesses aud deficiencies of production will uiaau, too, reorganization of national life, an increased cost of living and a general migration to other lands. SAYS U. S. TOWER RESTS IN AGRICULTURAL SITUATION. “America's retention of its pbwer and influence among the Rations of the world depends largely on how it meets and remedies the agricultural situation.” Conservation of forest lands is a necessary aid to agriculture, declared Richard Ei.v, professor of economics, Univer sity of Wisconsin, who ext addressed the conference. Professor Ely deprecated the proposal to remove control of forest land from the Department of Agriculture. He assailed attempts at price fixing. “Pric# fixing will never bring prosperity," he “No price can be mentioned which would make ail the farmers prosperous. Price fixing tends to stratification and to stationary economic conditions.” Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania and Raymond E. Pearson, president of the lowa State College of Agriculture and Machanical Arts, addressed the conference on the need of well defined national policies on forests and agricultural search^

ASK THIRD CUT IN ARMY FORCE Democratic and Republican House Leaders Unite in Proposal. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. * ’•eduction of more than one-third in tho authorized strength of tho American army Is planned by several of the most influential Republican and Democratic leaders' of the House, it was learned today, ns the ap propriations committee began considern tion of next year’s funds for ihe War Department. Although reduction of the land armaments lias been blocked In tlie arms conference. due to the stand of France. House leaders believe the United States safely can cut its army down from an authorized strength of 157. itoo for (he present year to 100,009 for (lie nex! fiscal year. Some members will make efforts 1o reduce down to 75,000. Representative Anthony, Kansas, • hairinan of the apropriations subeotn committee, is one of those who believe tlie House will demand a reduction to 1C0.990. Should this trig slash be made, the saviijg to tlie taxpayers will he*nt least $08,000,000, or about 68 cents for every person in the country. The War Department is certain to oppose such a reduction and in this may bo backed by President Harding, who has indicated be would accept only a small reduction in the army. POLICE QUELL FAMILY BATTLE Arrest Couple Who Almost Wrecked Own Home. Clara Hudson, 37, and her husband Fred Hudson, 38, 426 South West strpet, who were arrested Wednesday night appeared in city court today to answer assault and battery charges. Judge Delbert O. Wilmoth took the ease under advisement until March 1, thereby giving the officers time to take a child neglect charge, pending against the woman, to juvenile court. Motor Police Owens and Paul and later, a squad of police were sent to the Hudson home on a report ,of a riot In the house. When the police entered they found dishes broken, the. kitchen cabinet turned fiver and other evidence of a battle. Mrs. Hudson said her husband hit her and he said jhe hit him. A daughter. Margaret, 15, told the police her mother came home under the lnfnence of liquor. The police ordered the couple to keep quiet and there wotilij lie no arrests. Mrs. Hudson said if the police did not arrest her husband they would have another call to the house as she was going to kill him. Efforts to quiet the woman failed and the police brought both husband and wife to headquarters ou the charge of assault and battery. An additional charge of child neglect was filed against Mrs. Hudson.

ELECTRIC RAIL HEAD TELLS OF CONDITIONS Says Fares, Kept Down When Persons Could Pay, Can’t Be Cut Now. That busses will never replace street ears as a method of transportation was the declaration of A. C. P.linn, president of the Central Electric Railway Association, in bis address at the opening session of the association convention today in the Travertine room of the Lincoln hotel. Mr. Blinn talked at length on the economic condition of the electric railway industry.

He said that the rate regulating bodies hud kept fares down at time when persons could afford to pay higher prices. "Now,” the spacer said, “when conditions are poor, I* railwa’y companies are unable to rPduee rates. Robert I. Todd, former president of the organization was highly praised by the speuker.

Stops bare been taken by the Indiana Electric Corporation, which proposes to buy seven Indiana' utilities and build a central plant of distribution in the coal fields, to build the largest electrical plant in the State. The company nsk<-d the public service commission to authorize an issue of st!.000.000 worth of seUurities with which to build a power plant, purchase ground. | and to construct a transmission line. A petition asking that the company be authorized to issue $18,500,000 worth of securities for the purchase of the seven utilities is pending before the commis- ; slon. In the Recond petition filed with the commission, the company asks that the common stock which it proposes to issue i if the- case pending before the commission ! is approved, be .cut from $3,000,00(1 to | 52.000.000. According to attorneys for the company, it was found this could be reduced and still leave enough to purchase , the properties. The petition asking for the additional ■ securities was filed at this time, attorneys fbr the petitioner said, to offset the be- , lief of many people that the case now pending 'before the commission was a st* k selling scheme and not an actual in rger of the companies. * August the commission denied the P 1 n to issue $21,900,000 worth of sto an l bonds which were to be used for i :e purchase of these utility properties because it h Id that the amount of securities to be Issued Was in excess of the actual value of the properties to be purchased. In November, 1921, the company again petitioned the commission asking that It l.e authorized to Issue $18,500,900 worth |of capital stock so that it could purchase the properties. According to the petition the company already has options ou the property which it proposes 40 buy. The ground Is on the bank* of the Wabash River, and enough water is available for condensation purposes to make it unnecessary to transport coal for use in the companies j boilers.
