Refutes Charge OF
Being A Profiteer
Associated Press

LONDON, March 2O-Baron Lever
hulme, formerly William H. Lever, big
soap manufacturer, has 'broken a
lance" in defense of the money max
ing business man and refuted the pop
ular clamor which brands him as a
profiteer.
''The spirit of today" he said at a
recent dinner 'is one of cupidity and
jealousy. A feeling is running thro-
ugh the countsy that the primary sin
of a business man is success. The
man who has the ability to create,
develop, organize and produce is con-
sdered as one who must be specially
curbed, checked and controlled.
"Our war debts" aBron Leverhulme
continued, "have to be paid by the
persistent efforts of all to build up an
enormous home and an enormous ex-
port trade. Taxation of wealth only
means taking money out Of one pock-
ct and putting it back into another.
"The greatest disservice we can dc
the nation is to preach the doctrine
that success is profiteering. There
should be no interference with the
enjoyment of the fruits of industry
during the life of their producers he
continued.

TO COMBAT THE
HESSIAN FLY
Anticipating this Spring Another Out
break In Wheat Fields. Dept OF Ag-
riculture Will Try To Avert 1t.
Associated Press

WASHINGTON, March 2O-Anti-
cipating the possibility this spring of
another of the numerous destructive
outbreaks of the Hessian fly in the
wheat fields of the country, the De-
partment of Agriculture has made
ready to combat it. Through appro-
priation by Congress, funds for the
work were increased sufficiently to
provide for the principal needs and
three stations for the purpose of sys-
tematic study have been established
at Carlisle, Pa, Centralia, ILL.,, and
Wichita, kans.
Through these stations it is hoped
more will be learned this year about
the Hessian fly than in any year
since the British General Howe's hir-
ed Hessians are supposed to have
brought the pest to Long Island dur
ing the Revolution. Exhaustive inves'
LEGATIONS are under way on parasites
of the Hessian fly to determine wha1
effect the presence or absence of any
particular parasite has on periodical
presence or absence of any periodica
yisitations OF the fly. The last grea
outbreak came five or six years ago

RECENT DECISION
SWEDEN TO JOIN
The League of Nations Was No
Reached Without Some Opposi-
ton In Parliament.
Associated Press

STOCKHOLM, March 2O-Sweden's S
recent decision to join the League OF
Nations, was not reached without op-
position in Parliament. Conservatives
fought the proposal to join on the
ground that it would mean surrender
of the country's independence. They
declared that articles II to II would
compel Sweden to take military mea-
sures against any power which the
League considered to have opened
hostitlities without due cause.
The army and navy chiefs asserted
that adherence to the League would
not contribute to the cOuntry>s MILL
tary or political safety; but that 1t
would impose responsibilities and bur
dens for which the guaranteed sup
port of the League would not com
pensate Apprehensions were express
ed that Sweden's adhesion would pre-
vent the nation from radically de-
creasing its military budget.
Judge Hellner, the Minister of For,
eign Affairs, who introduced the gov
ernment's bill, said that the League
would considerably diminish the risk
of wars in Europe and the rest of the
world. Sweden, he added, would con
| tinue to maintain policy of absolute
neutrality.
