Minnesota to Test
Non-Partisan Plan
Strength in State
Leagues Supporters Hope
to Gain Recruits for the
Programme in the Com
ing Legislative Session
Special Correspondcncs

Special Correspondcnce
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. pa
new test of the National Nonpartisa1
League strength in Minnesota In the
forthcoming special session Of the Min
nesota Legislature to be convened Sep
tember 8, was made certain to-day
when NonPartisan League legislators
decided to go beyond the programme Of
Legislation laid down by Governor
Burnquist in his call.
Senator A. c. Welsh, Of Nonpart isan
leader, announced that bills have been
prepared for introduction providing for
q tonnage tax on ore, soldiers bonus
law and bank deposit guarantee.
Senator Welsh also revealed that
bills are being prepared under which
the state would take over and operate
the Farmers Packing Company plant
near South St. Paul, Mimi, in com
petition with the big Five" meat
packers. Another bill in preparation
provides for enlargement of the ac-
tivities of the State Game and Fish
commission in the marketing of fish.
The latter two measures, said Senator
Welsh, are intended to be part Of the
campaign to reduce living costs.
The league has far less than a major
but league leaders declare their con-
position forces sufficiently to bring
about the enactment of one or more
Of the proposed laws.
The opposition have framed a legis-
lative programme for the special SEES
sion that features revision of the
primary election law and extensive
appropriations to prevent forest fires.

To Go to Belgium
AS Ambassador
House Committee Approves
Bill to Raise Legation
to Embassy, as France
and Italy Did Previously
Ne11 York Tribune
Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. - Brand
Whitlocx may return to Belgium as the
first United States Ambassador to that
country, with a salary Of $17,50o, it
was learned to-day, following con-
ference between Mr.. Whitlock and
President Wilson and favorable re-
port by the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee upon bill already passed by
the Senate making the legation at
Brussels an embassy. Chairman Porter
of the committee will ask for prompt
action on the bill by the House.
In support of the bill President Will
son sent letter to Chairman Porter,
in which he paid high tribute to Bel
GUM and earnestly urged action by
Congress to follow the action already
the grade of the American representa-
tive to Belgium.
President Wilson's letter read:
81 have just approved an estimate
for an appropriation, prepared by the
State Department, for authorizing and
providing for raising the rank Of our
legation in Belgium to that of an en-
bassy. You will, no doubt. have no
ticcd that France and Italy have re-
Gently taken this action and it is au-
thortatvely announced that Spain and
Brazil will follow their example.
"It would be, it seems to me, very
proper thing at this time to show our
deep interest, at the conclusion Of the
war, in the little nation in which so
many of the causes of the war seemed
to centre and whose cause indeed will
always seem one of the most striking
eVdcncea of the sunscruDrlOus action
OF Germany.
"When I was in Brussels I stated
to the Belgian Parliament that it would
be my purpose to propose this action
on our part and earnestly urge it's &C
ceptancc by the Congress. take the
greatest pleasure in doing this, and
hope that it will commend itself to
your judgment and to the judgment of
the nation"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Beeause of
the decreasing supply OF American pulp
wood used in the manufacture Of news
print paper, Senator Watson, of In
diana, introduced a resolution in the
Senate to-day authorizing the Secre-
tary of Agriculture to make survey
and investigation Of the available pulp
wood timber supply in the United
States. The Secretary of Agriculture
also, under the resolution, is directed
to make recommendations for pulp
wood utilization. The sum of 100000
is asked to carry on the survey and in
vestigation.

ported from Canada. One-third is made
in the United States from wood grown
in the United States. The former pro-
portion is steadily increasing; the lat
ter is steadily decreasing.
"Nearly all of the American news
print manufacturing industry is To-
Gated in the Northeastern states. Half
of it is in New York. But in the Pa
cifc Northwest-Washington, Oregon
and part of California and in the in
land empire or northwestern montana
ad Northern Idaho are great forests
that have been no more than touched
by the few pulp mills in that section Of
the country"
The Senator told the Senate that in
Alaska are enormous areas of forests,
the annual growth of which would sup
ply pulp enough for half of the news
print paper used in the United States,
but no pulp mills are there.
"a condition Of dependence upon for
eign supplies of newsprint," he said,
"carries with it serious possibilities,
not for consumers of newsprint
(chieAy our newspapers), but also for
other business interests and the pub
lie generally"
TO stimulate American production,
the Senator pointed out, the following
governmental policy should be carried
out: An adequate governmental survey
of American resources in this field
should be Immediately made, conserva-
ton Of forests in the pulp producing
regions, and development of the pulp
making industry in the Northwest and
in Alaska
