Avert Debate on
Market Report Of
Live Stock Men

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 28.-The
threatened debate over the adoption
OF its market committees report was
averted at Wednesdays session of
the American National Live Stock
Associations convention. Steps were
taken in several quarters looking to
compromise of the differences in
opinion arising from the committees
recommendation that federal legis-
lation for regulation of'packing in
dustry be enacted.
Among these steps was a declara.
ton from H. A. Jastro, chairman. OF
the committee, and for six terms
president of the association, that the
time had come for active opposition
to the packers on the part of the
stockmen to cease.
Without retiring in any degree
from the stand taken by the COM
mittee, he said there was danger
that other organizations, however
moral in their views, might work ir.
reparable injury to the livestock in
dustry unless their agitation against
the packers was halted. .

WAVES FROM MARS THEORY

"These interruptions or influences

ate America Is in Position
Teutons Coveted and Sought
BY Aggression and Force.
UNITY OF COMMAND IN
FOREIGN TRADE ASKED
Recommends That Diplomatic
And Consular Services Be
Brought Closer Together and
Made interchangeable.
Hourly Temperatures.

Washington, Jan. 28.--The United
States, Secretary Lansing declared
today in a report to the senate, has
come, as result of the war and
through no self-effort, Into a po-
sition of economic preponderance,
quite comparable,to that which was
coveted by Germany and which she
sought to attain by means of ag-
gression and force"
The report, which was in re-
sponse to senate resolution in
curing of the heads of the several
departments the steps taken to pro-
mote'the foreign trade of the United
States, expressed the belief of Mr..
Lansing that the State department.
especially that portion devoted to
trade problems, must be completely
reorganized.
War Came as Surprise.
The European war came upon
the United States in 1914" said Mr..
Lansing, "as surprise chiefly be-
cause its Department of State,
through inadequate equipment,
had been unable to gather infor-.
nation and interpret it in a manner
which would reveal the hidden pur-
poses by which hostilities were
precipitated. Possibly no blame
can be imputed to this governments
for this laxity in view of the gen
eral confidence in the supremacy of
international justice; but today after
the experiences through which we
have passed, no reasonable effort
must be spared to make a similar
surprise impossible in the future"
Ask Unity of Command.
Asserting that diplomacy and
trade promotion more than ever
will go hand in hand as a result OF
the war, the secretary expresses
the opinion that the time has now
arrived ito establish unity of COM
mand" in the matter of foreign
trade. Mr.. Lansing adds that while
there may be no duplication OF
work, several governmental agen-
cies are operating at present in the
same domain of foreign affairs
One of the principal recommends
tious made to the senate in the
report is that the diplomatic and
consular services be brought clos
er together and given an inter
changeable character. Another is
that means be provided for pro-
motion of consuls general and dip
lomatio secretaries to the grade Of
minister, thereby obtaining the
services of trained men.

cent raise was made. Threats Of
prosecution for alleged profteerine
were made. There was also talk Of
