Gov. Harding Turns Down
Demand of Farmers and
Cotton Growers.

Governor Harding, of the Federal
Reserve Board, yesterday issued a
statement fatty refusing the de-
mana by the farmers and cotton
growers for credits by Federal Re-
serve banks on farm collateral that
would enable them to hold their
crops for higher prices. The credit
situation, he declared, has so vastly
improved that it is ample to meet
all legitimate requirements.
The present disturbances in price
and demand, Governor Harding in
sisted. are the inevitable and un-
avoidable consequences OF the eco
nomic arrangements occasioned by
the world war. He told the farmers
that their chief markets should
now be in this country and not
abroad.

NAVY TO MAKE
WORLD CRUISE
Atlantic and Pacific Fleets
To Take Long Trips
Next Summer.

The first important foreign cruise
of the American navy since Roose-
velt sent the fleet around the world
in 1907 will be made by the At
lantic and Pacific fleets starting
about June next year. Secretary
Daniels announced yesterday.
The present idea is that the At
lantic Fleet will visit ports on the
east coast OF South America, Cape
town, at the southern extremity of
Africa, and possibly other South
African ports, passing the island OF
St Helena, where Napoleon was
held captive, on the way home.
The Pacific Fleet is expected to
visit the South Sea Islands and
ports in Australia and New Zealand.
1t is probable that the Pacific Fleet
will be able to visit the ports of
southern New Zealand and also the
Island Of Tasmania, off Australia
1t is expected the cruises will last
about three months.

IMMUNE
FOR DIPLOMATS
Agents Forbidden to Search
Baggage of Foreign
Stats Here.

Following representations by
members Of the Diplomatic Corps
that the Prohibition Enforcement
Bureau is violating international
usage by searching incoming bag
gage at New York, the Department
of State yesterday informed Treas
ury officials that such action must
cease without delay.
1t was pointed out by a high Off
cial that search of diplomatic bag
gage would be followed by such re-
prisals abroad that no diplomatic
secret would be safe in transmits
sion. Even baggage containing the
most confidential treaties or com
munications would be opened ana
searched.
Search of diplomatic baggage has
been in progress only five days. 1t
followed an order by Jouett Shouse,
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury.
The stated object was not to pre-
vent diplomatic officials from bring
ing liquor into the United States,
but from transporting it across
American territory.
They are permitted to convey
liquor personally anywhere they de-
sire and even to have it transported
to Washington in motor trucks,
provided the driver is an employe
of the embassy and does not have
outside assistance. They are not
permitted to transport liquor by
common carrier
At least five members of the
diplomatic corps had asked for an
explanation of the Treasury ruling

GERMANS START WAR
ON "VERBOTEN" LASH

Berlin, Oct. 16.-The terror of
the German +verboten" is revealed
in the statements of a new society
now plaCarding walls with its
posters.
The society's name might be
translated into The Commonwealth
Union of Those Convicted or Ac-
cused." The posters, which carry
pictures of a man looking through
prison bars, make the startling
declaration that 10000 900 Ger
mans come within this category.
An officer of the association de-
clared one-sixth of the population
of Germany was carried on the
police records as offenders in some
degree. He said the purpose of the
society was to relieve thousands
whose offenses had been trivial, from
the consequences of their punish
ment as it is now impossible for
any such persons to obtain state
service.

The statement made by Gen.
Barnett" said Secretary Daniels. in
this letter to Col. Russell is so for
eign TO the reports made by him on
affairs in Haita for five years and
so foreign to conditions as they
have generally existed where the
Marines have been and so Unjust to
the work OF the Marines as a whole
that ! think he should make a
statement as to what he meant in
his letter"
Gen. Barnett, Daniels said, would
be back in Washington today and
that he would see the former COM
mandant at once.
Reports Delay Questioned.
Another phase of the inquiry is
what happened to the Russell report
from the time that it was made last
March until a copy of il was brought
back from Haiti by Gen. John A
LeJeune and Smedley d. Butler.
Col Russell reported he had mailed
it in March. but there has been

US. TAKESPART
ATPACT MEET
President to Appoint Envoy
In Aland Islands
. Dispute.
By ROBERT BARRY.

Candidates for the Presidency,
their managers and camp followers.
may be excited over the issue of
whether the United States will go
in or stay out of the league of ma
tiOns, but the White House and De-
partment of State with calm serenity
are proceeding to involve the nation
in European affairs. 1t is being done
because of the official administration
view that it is the duty of the United
States regardless of the outcome of
the league debate to participate in
measures designed to preserve peace
among nations.
1t was learned yesterday that the
President has decided to accept the
invitation of the league of nations
to appoint an American member of
the international commission which
will determine the sovereignty of
the Aland Islands, in dispute be-
tween Sweden and Finland. Both
nations have agreed to abide by the
decision of the commission.
With reference to the Polish
Russian treaty of peace, administra-
tion officials, saying nothing official
ly, nevertheless are letting il be
known in no uncertain terms that
the United States will not recognize
any new Polish boundaries estab-
lished at the expense of Russia,
unless and untir' accepted by a
Russian government,
acting with the undisputed author
ity of the entire Russian people.
State Department authorities in
dicated yesterday the determination
of the administration to participate
in such peace preserving activities"
as may arise, regardless of the fail
ure- of the United States to hold a
card in the league be-
cause of the quarrel between the
President and the Senate.
