ROME. Feb 9-The government. at the
direction of King Victor Emmanuel, has
sent a circular note TO the Powers proposing
the holding OF a conference here on May 5
to consider the establishment OF an Inter
national Chamber Of Agriculture. The
King initiated the proposal in letter 10
Prime Minister Giolitti. in which he said.
David Lubin. a citizen OF the United
States. has explained TO me. with that
warmth which comes from sincere con-
viction, an idea which seemed 10 me to be
of practical value and which. for that
reason. | recommend to the attention of the
government
His Majesty called attention TO certain
disabilities OF the agricultural classes Of
the world. and suggested that it would be
highly beneficial TO establish IAN inter
national institution, absolutely unpotical
in its aims, which would have before it
the conditions OF agriculture in different
countries Of the world. TO announce pc
riodically the quantity and quality of the
crops in hand. and 30 facilitate the pro-
duction Of such crops and render less costly
and more rapid trade in the same and facii-
tate the attainment of favorable settle
ment Of prices.
This institution, acting In union with
the various national associations already
constituted for similar purposes. would
furnish Trustworthy informa ton regarding
the demand for and supply Of agricultural
labor in various parts Of the world, and 80
provide emigrants with safe and useful
guide.
II would promote agreements neces-
sary for collective defence against dis
eases Of plants and domestic animals which
cannot be successfully fought by partial
action 1t would exercise a timely in
fuence on the development Of societies for
rural coopera ton. agricultural insslrance
and agrarian credit,
Such an institution, which would DO an
instrument OF solidarity for all the com
ponents Of the agricultural classes and con-
sequently be powerful influence for peace,
would be capable OF many beneficial de-
yelopments.
The King suggested that Rome would be
the suitable seat for the institution. The
Government has since sent 70 its repre-
sentatives abroad a long despatch explain
ing the object' that c.n be achieved, and
instructing them 10 invite the Powers TO
send delegates 10 a conference

his Cafe was too limited and his help

everything in working order, is pleas

isn't ready for the crowd the next rush
It will not be his fault.
