Clemson College. June 254-The di-

vision that the stock cannot pay over

understands the standardizing and

ksting agent will be the only paid OF =.

Tho association will keep on hand
such supplies an are necessary for
the farmers TO use In standardizing
their products; that the profit on
these supplies win not exceed 10
per cent: that the marketing agent
will at all times instruct the farmers
how to standardixe and grade their
products: that the association will
not buy any product that is not Of

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON, Sept. European
groups and American. business inter-
ests are forming postrbellum trade al
liances, despite President Wilson's
warning against them in his message
to the pope.
Allied diplomats revealed that these
alliances had been arranged and were
virtually in working order before the
vatican note or the Wilson reply were
forthcoming
France. Italy, Russia and Switzer-
land are the main parties to new agree
ments.
The agreements are individual
without government backing-for the
interested European parties say that
they want the American dollar invest
ed because cit is free from aggression.
AS for any government Industrial
combination to restrain Germany after
the war, President Wilson opposes
that. Lord Cecil's statement indicated
to International experts here that the
allies are likewise not to wage any
aggressive trade war after the war,
provided the struggle does not result
in stalemate. II Germany is defeat
