Chicago, Dec. 16.-An Omninational
Confederate nbased on q world bust.
ness structure rather than on political
lines is proposed in the plan for world
organization after the war by Profes.
sor Thomas C. Chamberlin, head OF
the Department of Geology, Univef.
sity of Chicago, which was made pub.
lie today. -,
The plan, which has received warm
endorsement by prominent scientists
economists and statesmen, would give
each nation voting power and respon.
international commerce.
Each nation would turn over to the
Confederation one-third of its present
navy for use in policing the high seas
and then retire one-half of its remain
ing navy. Building Of battleships and
other war vessels would be discontin-
uei. World highways would be estab-
lished both on land and sea, and mill
tary forces on land would be taken
over on the same basis as naval units
The confederation would control man.
ufacture of arms and munitions.
The Omninational Highways form
ing a gridiron of commercial world
ways across Europe and Asia Minor
would be policed and controlled by the
Omninational Confederation so as to
afford trade outlets and inlets for the
inland countries, for the free use of
all nations, ION the anology of the
common use of the seas for. all nations
alike"
Concerning a league of nations
Prof. Chamberlin contemplates two
great bodies-one, the present war
born league of allied nations, to settle
the war, and the other, permanent
Omninational Confederation, to estab-
lish and maintain peace, the work Of
the former to overlap that of the lat
ter and continue simultaneously with
it for as long a time as proves need
full. - T. ~! al. 2. j.. -, ~ II. z =.
Prof. Chamberlin's plan, which will
appear in the. Journal Of Geology, de.
,velops the following points: the pc.
culiar fitness of the existing war born
league Of nations for the settlement OF
the war issues; the punitive war func.
tion versus the requisite impartial
peace function; the settlement Of the
immediate war issues q anecessary STEP
toward new organization; a period 81
national reconstruction; a further test
of the principle of ALLEGATION of re.
sources, and the new nationalities to
be considered. ~ ~. =. 49,.
The basis of the new organization is
given as: (a) Fair opportunities for
commercial intercourse between all
peoples under such reasonable eco.
nomic regulations as they themselves
may impose. (b) Protection and reg.
ulation of international intercourse by
an omninational body representative
of all peoples in proportion to their
participation in international com.
lnerce. World-ways for universal
commercial intercourse would be es-
tablished on the high seas, certain
straits and lesser waterways, and on
railroads, sroadways and other thor.
oughfares in specified locations.

Twenty Million Tons of Food
TO Be Sent to Europe
From L. S. in 1919.
FARM METHODS
MUST BE CHANGED
More Horsepower and Less Man
power Is One Object of
Three So Drive.

Florida and Escambia county must
contribute their share in the twenty
million ton allotment of food which is
needed for starving Europeans and
her farmers also mus: raise enough to
feed the native population.
TO meet the enormous demand West
florida is preparing for an active
campaign. the three - drive for
food. feed and forage. S w. Hiatt,
district farm demonstra ton agent for
mis- section, brought the message to
Pensacola yesterday of the urgent
need for radical changes in the
methods now employed, OF the impera
tive necessity for greater intensive
production, and of marketing condi-
tions. which would regulate putting of
commodities on sale and prevent the
market from being flooded. At n series
of meetings il will be impressed upon
the producer, that he must continue
to produce in spite of the fact that
some of the farm materials now ready
are not in demand, that agents OF the
government will see to IL thai there
IS a ready market and that intensive
agriculture MUST go steadily on.
Hiatt to Be In Charge.
Mr.. Hiatt will be in direct charge
OF the meetings, and he will give the
farmer practical information OH crops
which can be prohtabiy raised in
this section. The necessity for in
creased live stock raising will be
urged, and an effort made to have ev-
cry farm produce live stock.
The campaign for increa sed produc-
ton began before Germany acknowl-
edged defeat by the signing OF the
armistice. and when the nation was
faced with the problem of feeding the
allied armies of the world. The com
ing of peace has meant not a slack
age in production. but an imperative
need of increa sed effort with the food
problem greater than ever before.
In order to meet this problem Flor
ida Will do her share. The state has
been divided into IL groups with Il
leader from the extension department
of the university directing each group.
and assisted by able speakers and
county agents.
There are two groups west Of the
ChattahOochee river with Jackson.
Washington, Bay and Calhoun coun-
ties included in the first group and
