DELAY is DEFEAT
Johnson Says Treaty, If Held

st. Paul. Sept. Ex-senator Hiram
johnson of California. in an address
delivered to a special session OF the
Minnesota legislature this morning
presented his arguments in opposi-
tion to the unqualified ratification of
the League OF Nations covenant
He charged those behind the peace
pact were endeavoring to push It thru
the senate before the people fully I'M
derstood the provisions OF the meas
ure.
The senator expressed the opinion
that il action on the league could be
delayed sixty days the people would
speak in positive terms and insist upon
its defeat or amendment so as to pro-
tect the country's interests.
Public sentiment against the
league is growing every day and IS, IN
fact, assuming the proportions OF a
revolution" said Senator Johnson.
Its friends realize that II 1t is not
rushed thru now before the people
have had an opportunity TO under
stand It their cause Is hopeless. Ihat
explains the haste to have 1t ratified
without amendment.
THE statement that immediate &C
ton is neceserry to stabilize the busi-
ness is absurd.
''The pitt. 5 logic OF events is grad

its advocates have enveloped the So
called League of Nations.

at the peace table in Paris, and added;

Child Labor in the U. s. Decrease
 Forty Per Cent

Washington, Nov 15.-Child labor in the United States has decreased more than 40 per cent since the child labor tax provision of the revenue act went into effect April 25 last. This act levied tax of 10 per cent on the net earnings of plants employing children under IA years or between IA and 16 for more than eight hours in the production of commodities en- tering interstate commerce.
 Reports of internal revenue bur- eau agents, it was announced today indicate that the greatest decrease has occurred in, tAe cotton mill in- dustry of the southern states where, it was said, more than S5 per cent of the mills now are operating on q basis that exempts them from the child labor tax.

Germans Seeking
 Way to Get Out

Berlin, Nov. 15.-The newly insti- tuted national emigration bureau is being bombarded these days by Ger mans who want to get out of Ger many-to any old country in many cases, anywhere except Germany. The great majority express a desire to go to America. The bulk of the large crowd that constantly throngs the quarters of the emigration bu- reau consists chiefly of industrial workers who can find no sufficient employment here in Germany.
 The countries to which Germans can emigrate at present include Ar genuine, Brazil, Paraguay and Pata- gonia. North America is as yet barred and Mexico, because of the ul- favorable political conditions, is counted as undesirable.

FoRTY-CENT COTTON.

With cotton at 40 rents remarks a Southern paragrapher, we hear no loud calls for Uncle Sam to step in and stabilize the market. Cotton has been restored to his throne and in kingliest accents may proclaim him. self monarch of all he surveys. Still, there are those to dissent from that imperial pronouncen1ent. The agri- cultural papers of the South refuse to be bedazzled by cotton prices, the highest in history save for the all but cottonless period following the civil war.
 Call cotton king. if you will, they say but don't let him become an ab- solute monarch. Limit his domain and authority. For what does 40- cent cotton profit the southern farmer if he has to pay the money out immediately for the necessities which he might produce himself?
 That the southern farmer can pro- vide handsomely for the needs of his own household and have a surplus to ship to a hungry market is widely accomplished fact. But this fact has been so convincingly demon strated in Geneva county, Alabama, that the United States department of agriculture has bulletined the di- versified story. This one county last year exported 473 carloads of hogs, 9S carloads of cattle, 288 car. loads of peanuts, 54 of hay, 38 of corn, 15 of velvet beans. And the departments letter states that only 40 per cent of Geneva county is un- der cultivation and less than half of that has reached 50 per cent of it's maximum production.
 There is anxiety lest the high price of cotton lure the southern far mer away from crop diversification to which he has been reluctantly converted after a long, arduous cam palgn. With the worlds crying need for cotton, as set forth by leading textile manufacturers and economists of Europe at the recent international convention in New Orleans, the plans for reducing the cotton acreage, which were formulated last spring, are very likely to be abandoned. The present danger is not from reduc- ton but expansion of cotton acreage at the expense of other crops. Such development, it is held, would be a grave mistake for the southern farm CT, who can serve himself best, and the world, too, by giving to cot ton its proper proportion and by growing on his own land his own meats and foods and feeds.-Post- Dispatch.
