will be few clouds and no fog or rain.
The fiiers from Mineola, according to

 This has been objected to by some of the members of the committee, be- cause it involved some difficult consti- tutional problems. This Is why we have agreed to the text without that amendment, but we think the principle of that proposed amendment ought to be put before public opinion at the same time as the scheme to which we have agreed.

We have acted with one heart for the triumph of the cause which is that of our con ference, the cause of right against violence, the cause of right against might. We believe that this scheme that is now before us is an excellent one. We believe in It's virtues and it's possibilities. The observation we have made on some points will, we hope be of some value in the future discussions, since we are at the begin ming of the examination of the whole plan.
 Now we must, at the end, express our deep gratitude toward our col ward President Wilson, who presided over our labors in such a competent way and such high spirit, and we wish still more to express the sincere wish of France to see that the great pact becomes, possibly with some improve ment on the two points 1 have mem toned, the law of nations"

CROSS GOES WITH NATIONAL CITY AS
 VICE PRESIDENT
Former Birmingham Banker Rises Rapidly - Resigns Deputy GOvernOrship
 Reserve Bank

Birmingham friends of J. L. Cross, formerly connected with the First Ma tional bank of this city will be pleased to know that he has been elected an assistant vice president of the Ma tional City bank of New York, the largest bank in the United States. Mir. Cross has been with the federal re- serve system for the last few years, and resigned his position as deputy governor of the federal reserve bank of Kansas City to accept the New York connection.
 In speaking of Mir. Cross's resigna- tion, the Kansas City Star says:
 CT. L. Cross, deputy governor of the federal reserve bank, rendered his res- ignation at a meeting of the board of directors of the bank at noon today. With the resignation went the an- nouncement that MT. Cross had ac- cepted an assistant vice presidency in the National City bank, New York, and would leave Kansas City Tn time to take up his new work March l.
 ''Mr Cross has seen the development of the Kansas City bank from ven ture to it's present rank as the next to the most prosperous banks Tn the federal reserve chain. He came to Kansas City in November, 1915. resign ing as an examiner for the federal re- serve board in Washington.
 MT Cross at once made himself an active factor in the bank and in kan- sas City affairs. In the former he ex- tended his deputy governorshop to ac- tive participation in the war savings and Liberty Loan campaigns. In the last three Liberty Loan campaigns he

Second, they have agreed in princi-
 pie on the reduction of armaments to a point of national safety as prescribed
 by the league of nations. This, I be-
 lieve to be the essential feature of the
 condition of permanent peace. If there
 be an excess of guns there will always
 be a chance of them being fired off. 1 am, therefore, glad that in this docu- ment provision is made for the reduc-
 tion of armaments, thereby, I believe, lessenng the risk of war and easing the
 economic burden upon the people.
 "The third is a principle to which I
 jsh to call the attention of the sigma
 tories to this document. They have agreed to a recognition of the evils of private profits in the manufacture of armaments, although for my part, 1 should like to have seen a more robust declaration in favor of the abolition of private arms making. Abolition, I be- lieve is step that will ultimately be l found necessary, and I further hope l that the executive council may be able l to devise ways and means by which pri- l vate profit may be eliminated and I am sure that nothing would be more welcome | to the minds of the working folks. There are just one two things, l Mir President, which, to my mind. might have been more explicit, and which, l | believe, will have to be grafted onto a | league of nations as the idea of world unity becomes more widely accepted. Let | me mention one. I am afraid that when | the time comes for the enforcement or decrees-if ever it does come, which God l forbid-there may be delay and con- | fusion on the part of the league.
 HOLD ONE FEAR
 ! "What I am afraid of is that an agres-
 sive nation might again try to break through and win it's way to it's object l before the forces of mankind can be mobilzed against it. Therefore, should l have been glad to have seen some pro- vision for the nucleus of an interna- tonal force which would be ready tc
 strike against any aggressor. This
 know, cuts into the idea of the sovereign
 ty of nations, but hope that there may | be future discussion on the part or the ] affiliated states as to how they can ad' 1 just their national life so as to admit 1 of a greater degree of cooperation than
 there is in this document.
 i Finally, I gladly note the insertion l of a clause providing for the formation of international charters of labor Hith | erto nations had endeavored to protect | themselves against low paid labor by | the imposition of tariff barriers. I hope we shall in the future, under the au- | thority of the league of nations, seek anc | find a better way by abolishing low | paid labor altogether. We nope 10 raise the life of labor from the mere struggle for bread on to the higher levels of Jus tie and humanity.
 "The commission, MT. Chairman, whicn was appointed few weeks ago to go into this matter is now busily engaged on it's detailed plan and we hope to re- port it in a few weeks. I can only say now. on behalf of that commission tha we shall endeavor to bring ourselves II line with the epoch-making document
 which President Wilson has submitted tt us today, and through us, to the war
 weary world"
