WHEAT QUARANTINE
BY FEDERAL BOARD

Washington, July 15.-No quaran-
tine against wheat shipments from H.
]inois, Indiana, West Virginia, Vir-
ginia and Georgia because of grain
diseases in those states will be de-
clared at this time by the federal hor-
ticultural board. This decision was

created in Virginia, West Virginia and
Georgia by the appearance of the eel
worm disease could successfully be
handled locally by the state authori-
ties. The departments experts will
hold conferences with experts from
Illinois and Indiana to consider cor
rective measures against flag smut
and the take alp disease found in
those states. 1t was explained, how
ever, that il these measures were
found to be Inadequate, a quarantine

LEAGUE IS step
TOWARD PEACE,
SAYSUNDERWO0D
Urges Acceptance of Cove
nant Without Alter
ations.

Washington, July 15.-Characteriz-
ing the League of Nations as prac-
tical step toward world peace involv-
ing no sacrifice Of national sovereign
ty, Senator Underwood, Democrat, Of
Alabama, urged in the senate today
acceptance of the league covenant
without amendment or reservation.
"The great causes of war; he said,
"may be paraphrased in two words:
National selfishness.' Until the. civili-
zation of the world is prepared to de-
throne its own selfish ideals and to
recognize the rights of other peoples,
tinue to exist.
IT am not prepared to say that the
adoption of the present treaty carries
within itself the elimination of these
causes of war or that in the end there
will be no more wars, but I do say
that within the folds Of this treaty we
find an agreement between the great
nations of the world that possibly will
in the future carry the questions OF
national dispute to a court of final ar
bitration and in many, if not most in
stances, avoid horrors and injustices
OF war.
So Supcr-Goverment-
II do not regard the organization of
the league as a super-government. No
super-government could exist with
out power to maintain itself. Within
itself the league has no power to levy
taxes, and without revenue a govern
ment cannot long exist. The league
has no power to raise armies and
navies, and without military forces, it
cannot defend itself. With the right
to withdraw, l, feel that there is no
need to fear the dangerous surrender
of any of the fundamental principles
and rights of the American people.
Therefore I am willing to take it and
try it and hope that from the seed
that is planted today. in its fruition
the final peace of the world may be
found. -@
II am more interested in the prin-
ciples united in the clauses relating
to the League Of Nations than I am
in the powers given for it's govern
ment, for on these principles the fu-
ture life Of the league must depend.
But the greatest principle Of the
league tending to keep the peace of
the world is that which declares that
the high contracting parties to this
treaty shall undertake to respect and
preserve against external aggression
the political independence and the
territorial integrity of every member
Of the league
You may say: Then, why should
we become involved in an alliance
that may drag us into the disputes,
the disasters and the dangers Of other
nations?'. This was the doctrine our
fathers believed in. and one that I
am slow to yield. But we face a con-
dition, not a theory. Time and space
have been eliminated. Dangers to our
people and our republic that were not
dreamed of a century ago confront US
today at our very doors, threatening
menace to our lives. our civilization
and our institutions"

among ADMINISTRATOR sSHdIo1S ~
impression prevailed that the presi-
dent and the committee undoubtedly

pected, however, that these meetings
would be at the White House rather
than at the capitol.
The foreign relations committee
