Farming in the middle James River

methods which are now on trial,

at least may result in curtaiIed
production of all kinds of farm

The change is due to shortage

LEAGUE NEEDS U. S.
Lloyd George Says 1t viii Fail
Unless Backed by America.
Done by Oroanization-Urges
Disarmament.

London, Dec. 23.-Dayid Lloyd
George, the prime minister, presiding
at a luncheon given in the house of
commons for the British and domin-
ion delegates to the recent League OF
Nations assembly in Geneva, declared
the league would never achieve
real progress until all the nations
were represented.
There could be no real peace, de-
clared the PRIZE minister, until COM
petition in ornaments ceased, and be-
fore disarmament was possible all
the nations must be in the league,
for all must march together.
Mr.. Lloyd George said all nations
must reach a common agreement not
to start again disastrous rivalry In
armaments, which must inevitably end
in a clash.
The league has already done much,
the prime minister asserted. For one
thing, it has raised the status of labor
throughout the world, and the labor
bureau was doing great things. The
leagues most conspicuous work, he
said, probably was the establishment
of the international court of justice,
which would have a very determining
effect on international justice in the
| future
| No League of Nations, however,
could possibly be regarded as com-
, plete until the United States was in
cluded, Mr.. Lloyd George declared.

SEEKS TO RELIEVE FARMERS

ing Present, and Came After Bit
ter Fight Against Measure
Party Lines ObIiterated.

Washington, Dec. 24.-The house
passed the Fordney emergency tariff
bill, designed to relieve American agri-
cultural and live stock industries from
the present price depression by estab-
fishing virtually prohibitory customs
duties for ten months. The vote was
1876 to sc.
A political analysis of the vote
showed 154 Republicans for the bill
and IA against; Al Democrats for and
Y against; one Prohibitionist, Randall
of California, voted for the bill.
Five voted present The bill now
goes to the senate, where Republican
promised to expedite its consideration.
while Democrats plan to exert every
effort to block it's passage. What
President Wilson will do with the bill
is problematical. Some of the Demo
cratic leaders expect him to veto it.
The bill was passed by the house in
the same form as it was reported out
by the ways and means committee.
Party lines were obliterated. Lead
ing the Democrats who supported the
bill was Representative Garner of
Texas, who, will be ranking minority
member of the ways and means COM
mittee in the next congress. Represen-
tatives Madden of Illinois, Bacharech,
New Jersey, member of the ways and
means committee, and Smell of New
York were prominent among the Re
publicans opposing the bill.
Representative Treadway of Massa.
chusetts, another Republican member
of the ways and means committee, at
tackled the legislation, but said he
would give the farmer the benefit OF
the doubt and vote for it.
Passage of the bill followed one Of
the bitterest fights waged in the house
| in recent years. Though it was ap
parent from the outset that they were
hopelessly in the minority, the oppo
nents stubbornly contested every incl
of the way. Knocked down by sheel
weight of numbers as they attacked
each successive schedule, they cam'
| back strong every time.

HOUSTON WARNS
OF DEFICIENCY
Secretary Says New Sources
of Revenue Must Be Found
to Aid Treasury.
SPEAKS ON SOLDIERS BONUS
Tells Senate Finance Committee That
the Government Must Not Incur
New Burdens During the
Next Fiscal Year.

Washington, s,ec PA gross def
.iency in national fiscal transactions
If $2,1OOOO0,O00 this fiscal year and
81 1,5OO,O0O,000 the next fiscal year was
'orecast by Secretary Houston in
speaking on the soldiers bonus bill.
He said the government must find
lew sources Of revenue and incur no
lew burdens.
Considered aside from the public
lebt, Mr.. Houston said, the ordinary
receipts for this year should exceed
ordinary expenditures by about $780,
100000, and next year the excess
should be $556,OOO,OOO. These sums,
however, are inadequate to take care
Of the interest on the public debt,
which is about 81, 1,2OO,OOO,OO0 annually,
Mr.. Houston said, as well as the in
erest on the current floating debt and
The total laid aside annually for re-
firing the public debt.
1--WE will start the year Of 1928
with deficit of 81, 500,0O0,0OO," said
Mr.. Houston. "We face, in addition,
the fact that many sources Of revenue
are declining, so we will have to look
around for new sources to tap without
placing greater burdens on the treas
1ry."
Asked as to what sources OF reve-
nue were declining, the secretary said
principally the excess profits tax, but
that the productivity of higher groups
Of income taxes also was falling OH.
He cited internal revenue figures
showing a steady decline in tax pay
ments by those receiving larger in
comes of the country.
Mr.. Houston warned, incidentally,
against "tampering with the sinking
fund.-" He declared the present ar
rangement for retiring the great war
debt was "sound and workable" and
should be allowed to continue in force.
when we go to tampering with the
skiing fund 1 believe we are gone
he said.
In connection with the require
ments, immediate and future, of the
treasury, Mr.. Houston reiterated his
opposition to a revival Of the wal
finance corporation. He declared the
war finance corporation would call
upon the treasury for depayment OF
the credit of $3S6,OOO,0O0 it had with
the treasury, which would be com
PEELED to embark on new borrowing
period to the extent that the corpora
ton called for money.
The secretary expressed the belief
that the solution of the problem Of
aiding exporters was through private
financing rather than by government
action. There were indications, ht
said, that exports would continue tt
Increase without treasury help.
Asked regarding the status of the
government loans to the allied and as
sociated powers, Mr.. Houston sait
the treasury had not yet reached al
agreement with them relative to f1na
| maturity dates on the nearly $4,000,
! 100000 Of loans. Few of them, HI
added, have paid any interest in actua
cash, most of the interest accredited
to them being in the form of "book ad
iustments against credit authorized.
The hearing was adjourned unit
Monday, when Mr.. Houston is expect
ed to be asked for a direct expression
on the soldier bonus bill.
