SENATUR LOOGE BLOCKS PEACE
 RESOLUTION
REFUSES TO SANCTION INTRO DUCTION OF THE KNOX PEACE PROPOSAL AT THIS SESSION

Washington, Dec. 9.-The refusal of Senator Lodge to sanction the in- troduction of the Knox peace resolu- tion at this session of Congress has started an insurgent movement which may result in the presentation of the measure in spite of the Mas sachusetts senator's disapproval.
 Senators who deem the immediate return Of the United States to a peace status necessary are exerting considerable pressure to bear on Senator Knox to permit one of them to Introduce his resolution declaring the war to be at an end. Knox has so far declined, because de does not want to run counter to Lodge, but he is strongly in favor of the imme- diate adoption of the resolution.
 The insistence of the insurgents on having this resolution adopted is based on their desire to have all the war laws repealed, allowing the country to get back on a peace time basis and allowing trade to be resum- ed with the enemy countries.
Cleveland County herald., 1920-12-09

President Wilson failed to mention the peace treaty or league of na- tions in his message, but submitted the following program to carry out the aims he has outlined:
 The immediate passage of budget bill for the expenses of the govern ment.
 The strictest economy in govern ment appropriations.
 The immediate revision of the tax laws, to the end that the taxes may be distributed in a more just and equitable manner.
 Adequate provisions for the dis abled soldiers and sailors.
 A government loan to Armenia to enable that government to get on it's feet.
 Granting of independence to the Philippines.
 In addition to these the president repeated the recommendations he has made in previous messages urging the encouragement of the manufac- ture of dye stuffs and related chem icals
 He also recommended laws for controlling the cold storage industry of the country and requiring Feder- al licenses for all corporations en- gagged in interstate commerce as a means of reducing living costs.

TWILL SEE IT THROUGH" SAYS
 GRIFFITH, V. P.

Dublin, Dec. 4.--"The young men of Ireland are going t osee this thing through" said Arthur Griffith, Vice President of the Irish Republic" to the United Press. Griffith ix con- sidered by some to me the "doctrin- aire" of Sim Fein. Because of his reported moderate views he has been unmolested by the British authori- ties.
 Each generation in the past," con- tinued the Sim Fein leader, "has seen movement for Irish freedom crushed in blood, hangings and de- portations, only to rise up again with accumulated intensity, as the babies of the young men of the next. There Is touch of spirituality about Irish men that, inspired by examples like MacSwinney and kept burning by Sim Fein policy of education and natiOnalism, must inevitably cast off the foreigners misrule."
 Griffith was asked who he consid- cred responsible for the present state of affairs in Ireland. "The present inhumanities practiced by the Army of Occupation in Ireland," replied Griffith, "are the result of the com plete bankruptcy of British sites manship, as evidenced by such pue- rile tool of oppressionists as Green wood being placed at the head of the so-called British Government of Ire land. I believe that the nations of
 the world will eventually unite in
 demanding Freedom for the nation
 that, in the words of Terence Mac
 sWiney, is prepared to suffer most. "'

PRESIDENTS
 MESSAGE
 ID CONGRESS
gROPOUNDS DOCTRINE OF FRIGHT MAKES MIGHT" IN FL NAL MESSAGE

Washington, Dec. I'm his final message to Congress. President Will son called upon that body to enact s program of Legislation which he said would put the United States in the forefront of a movement to make the spiritual power of democ- racy prevail throughout the world.
 The final regular message to Con- gress was sent to both houses by messenger.
 The president said there are two ways in which the United States can lead in establishing the doctrine of fright makes might" in the world. These ways are: One, by offering the example within her own borders of the will and power of democracy to make and enforce laws which are unquestionably just and which are equal in their administra- tion,
 Two, by standing for right and justice as toward individual nations.
 The president declared that the display of an immediate disposition on the part of Congress to remedy any injustices or evils that may have shown themselves in our own nation al life will afford the most effectual offset to the forces of chaos and tv- rany which are playing so disastrous part in the fortunes of free peorlez in more than one part of the world.

COTTON REDUCTION IS PoPu-
 LAR

Because of the continued decline in the price of spot cotton and the restricted markets f..r the raw mate rial, the entire agricultural, banking and commercial interests of the South strongly endorse the attitude of the American Cotton Association for . substantial reduction In acreage for the year 1921 and the adoption of practical methods for the warehous- ing of all of the 1920 crop that can be carried over.
 The Arkansas Division of the Anne rican Cotton Association is making strong campaign in an effort to realize these plans and has perfect ed local units in many counties that have been rendering valuable ser vice to the growers.
 The warehouse at Paris, which was sponsored by the Arkansas Division, was bonded under the Federal Law November 27. It is owned cooper atively by the Paris Warehouse As sociation, which is made up of a number of prominent business men affiliated with the local unit of the cotton association. In addition to the Paris warehouse others have been bonded at Pine Bluff, McCrory, Me Gehee and several other points and plans are under way for bonding ad- ditional warehouses at Paragould, Manila, Hermitage, Banks, Clarks- vile, Philadelphia, Marie, Evardale, Keiser, Ebony and other localities.
 Under the Federal Warehouse Act, cotton receipt is not only 2 preferred collateral with the banker but the bonding causes the insur- ance underwriters to grant reduc. ton Of 25@e in the insurance rates Therefore, the work carried on by the Arkaasas Division fn assisting il

Washington, Dec. 9.-The repub- lican. members of the senate finance committee have decided to defer ac- ton on the appeal of business men for a postponement of income tax payments and extension of losses.
