HARDING URGES : CUT IN ARMIES ■United States to Join in Reduction of Armed Forces, He Asserts. >• JAPAN YIELDS TO THE U. S Deadlock Over Naval Treaty Virtual ly Has Been Broken in Agreement i to Include Bonin Islands in Pacific Status. Washington, Jan. 20. President Barbing believes that reduction of naval armaments eventually will lead to a reduction in armies, in which this country would join. If the senate ratifies the five-power pact calling for a ten-year naval holiday, tiie President is convinced that It is also feasible to do away with large land forces. For the first time since the arms conference, these views of the Executive on land armament were set forth at the White House. A statement cf his opinion might be set forth as follows : "No sane government can think of reducing its military establishment beyond the point where it guarantees safety. “I think we may safely have some modest reduction in our army, but the (administration will never approve (drastic reduction. "Congress may reduce its size under the present strength •of 150,000, but not appreciably. "In tlds respect the United States is ia fine example to the rest of the ‘world, and if Europe would. reduce ( (her armies comparably to Americfin j [reduction, the ■ world would be practically transformed. The example of •Russia, in maintaining an army of |500,000 or 600,000 effectives, is a poor j I manifestation of the best form of j j democracy.” The President Believes that no one ! lean foresee what is the best policy for j (this government to pursue in the fu- i |ture with respect to land strength. ' He hopes and beHeves-that the ma- j fjority of Americans.look to the - arms] (conference to pave the way for dlmiinution of military forces throughout .'the world. _ Although the President is of the | opinion that the United States should (be glad to take the lead in this direction, he does not believe in “deistructlon” of the army, which he hopes (may never have to be used except as a [military police force. _. Reduction at this time, with the (world in its present state of. unrest, (would be dangefous, the President' I holds. ' Japan has yielded- -tcT the United States- oh fortification -of Pacific islanjlsr the American delegates an- - nouncud. The deadlock over the naval treaty (virtually has been broken -.by"Japuu (agreeing to include .the Bonin Islands lin the Pacific- ■status quo arrangement. It is understood the agreement einthraces not only the Bonin group but divides the Pacific generally into forItification areas, over which there was (considerable difference, jot opinion bei tween the American, British and Japanese delegates. Details of the agreement were not (announced. In the meeting of the Far East committee, Sectetary of State Hughes answered the Japanese-Siherian .statement. made here, in which Japan, said ishe- would net withdraw her troops [from Siberia until a "stable government (appears.” i Without accepting or rejecting the [fijapaifese explanation of why, Japanese | (troops remain, Secretary Hughes werft (fully into the whole Siberian problgwe (from tiie American viewpoint. He,made clear that the United States (believes Till alien troops should be withdrawn fStm Siberia. Both tiie Japanese and American [statements will later be presented to ;the world at plenary session of the ■ Conference.

PRESIDENT BACKS WATERWAY PLAN Harding Tells Farm Meeting Great Lakes Project Is Feasible. SAYS FARMER MUST BE AIDED '■ - "T ■■ v ‘ ■ Points Need of Machinery To Furnish Working Capital Farmer Easily and Quickly—u. S. Must Meet Present Crisis. Washington, Jan. 25. —Feasibility of j the St. Lawrence-Great Lakes water ways project “is unquestioned,” President Harding declared before the national agricultural conference. “I have spoken,” the President said, “of the advantage which Europe enjoys because of its easy access to the sea, the" cheapest and surest transportation facility. In our own country Is presented one of the world's most attractive opportunities for ex- j tension of the seaways many hundreds j of miles Inland. . “The heart of the continent, with Its . vast resources in both agriculture and industry, would be brought in communication with all the ocean routes by the execution of the St. Lawrence waterways project. To enable oceangoing vessels to have access to all the ports of the Great Lakes would have a most stimulating effect upon the industrial life of tbe continent’s interior. “The feasibility of the project is unquestioned, and Its costs, compared with some other great engineering works, would be small. Disorganized andi prostrate, the nations of central Europe are evetu now setting theit hands to the development of a great continental waterway, whtch. connecting the Rhine and Danube, will bring water transportation from tbe Black [ to the North sea, from Mediterranean to the Baltic.

“If nationalistic prejudice and economic difficulties cun be overcome by Europe they certainly should not be formidable obstacles to an achievement i less expensive and giving - promise of ; yet greater advantages to the peoples j of North America. Not only wouldjjje-' cost of transportation be re- ( (jueed, but a vast population would be brought overnight fn immediate touch with the markets of the entire world.” „ Delegates from all -sections of the country representing agriculture and Industries dependent on it assembled here far the opening of the national conference called to consider the pressituation confronting. the farmer, and to lay down a permanent agricultural policy. Development of a thorough code of law and business procedure, with the proper machinery, of finance to assure the farmer as generous a supply of working capital an as reasonable terms as is granted to other Industries, was advocated by President Hording in his address. “An. -industry,” the President said, “more vital than any other, in which nearly half the nation’s wealth is lfir vested, can: be relied upon for good security and certain returns." that In - the matter of what mny be called fixed investment capital the disadvantage of the fqnav' er-sd Impressed public opinion that the federal farm loan board was established to meet the need. “Compared with other industries,” he continued, “the wonder Is that agriculture, thus, deprived' of easy access to both Investment and accommodatloh capital, has prospered even so well.” - Lines on which financial support of agriculture may lie organized,. Mr. Harding said, are -suggested In the -plan of the federal farm loan board mid In the rural finance societies which have been so effective in some European countries. “The co-operative loaning associations of Europe have been effective , incentives to united action by farmers.” he continued, ’“and have led them directly into co-operation in both production and marketing which have contributed greatly to the • stabilization TfiidPprosperity of agriculture.’’ tbese organizations are considered as means to buying the farmers’ requirements in a cheaper market, products in a more remunerative one, “the conclusion In all cases is the same; it is that the farmer is as good a business, man as any other If he has the chance.”- - The manufacturer, Mr. Harding said, whose turnover ls rapiil, finds he can borrow money from the bank on shorttime poqps when he needs working capital, and',his money will come back to him in time to meet his(short-tirne obligations. ( On the other bund, be continued, thA.|annef’s turnover is a long one; from a year in most cases to sometimes three years in the entile industry. .. Democratic Bonus Bill.

New York, Jan. 24.—While there are various good signs, no development oi activity along broad lines has yet ap peered.

Enrollment at Marlon high school for the new term Is 900, the largest in the history of the city. The Indiana Federation of Business and Professional Women will hold Its fifth annual convention Tuesday, March 14, in Indianapolis. Government in Indiana Is burdened with an qnneyssary number of otliclals, boards uud commissions, it was asserted by Jesse E. Eschbach, chief examiner of the state board of accounts, who spoke at a luncheon of the Marlon Khvanis club. The next general assembly, it was suggested, could “with entire propriety” reduce the number one-third. Tbe Elkhurt County Farmers’ Co-Operative association, established seven years ago, and incorporated for four years, reported-gross sales of more than $200,000 for 1921 at the annual meeting held In Goshen. A dividend of 8 per, cent in $45,000 of stock was declared. . Farmers say under this system they are enabled to buy much cheaper than elsewhere, and that they receive good interest return on the money they have invested. Indiana public school teachers wlio. have been receiving disability pensions for a number of years are io receive their payments henceforth according to tbe rate provided in the teachers’ retirement fund law by the general usembly of 1921, and not according to the act of 1915 of-the general assembly, as a result* of an opinion, submitted by U.

Serious wage disputes between miners 'and opera tors In the central com- . petit!vo coal fields are forecast by a statement issued by Phil H. Penna of Terre Haute, secretary of the Indiana Bituminous Cdal Operators’ association, in which he asserts that the miners will receive a reduction of 30 per cent after the expiration of present contracts March 31. Mr. "T'emia expects the reduction to be brought about by an agreement betami the miners and the operators or by government Intervention, The state board of agriculture has sold for 314 per cent above par value the $1,000,000 in bonds, which It was authorized to issue to pay the expense* . of"construction of new buildings and the repair costs on present buildings and equipment at the state groundr" The state bonrd plans to IVuild new cattle and swine barns at the fair ground anif in time construct a mechanical building.
