ALL WEAPONS IN
IRELAND CALLED IN
(By Associated Pressl

DUBLIN, Nov. 30. - All arms and
ammunition in Ireland have been call
ed in by the government, and it is now
a criminal offense fer anybody to be
in possession, however innocently, of
such articles. Permits haye been abol-
ished. Needless to say, the Sim Fem
ers have not given up any weapons
and the order has only operated
against ordinary people who kept
guns for sport or happened TO possess
souvenirs of the war.
The German cartridges brought
home to their fathers by many Irish
boys would appear on charge sheet
as so many rounds of dun dunn am
munition, and even a disabled revolv-
er falls under the ban. The souvenirs,
therefore, now, repose in the govern
ment stores. Some loyal people were
rot quick enough in responding to the
government order and have had to pay
for it in the police courts.
tDragu houghtitwouldb \allrtgNtif6.
In one case man who had per-
nit for a gun thought it would be all
right if he told the police about it
without going to the trouble of lodg-
ing it at the military barracks. The
police, knowing his position, encour-
aged his delusion. But that did not
save him from prosecution and the
facts showed how needful it was fol-
the governments precautions, for the
Sim Feiners got into his house and
made away with his gun while the
prosecution was pending.

CRUCIAL TEST

ViscOunt Ishi Tells Assem-

Not Be Brought Up At
This Time; Delegates Feel
Grave Days are Ahead.
(Rv AssocIat0d PreSs1

GENEVA, Nov. 80. - The Jap
anese delegation will not make
any proposal for racial equality at
this session of the assembly of
the league of nations, ViscOunt
Ishi announced at the morning
session CT the assembly.
The japanese delegate made these
declarations in speaking on the re-
port of the committee on rules, which
was read to the full assembly at the
opening session today.
The committee based its report on
the principle that the assembly is a
sovereign organizatiin Of the league,
but intermittent, and the executive
council is permanent power, with the
sercetariat as the continuous medium
for the execution of the decisions of
both the assembly and the council.
Many delegates to the assembly re-
gard the coming week as the most
critical in the history of the organi-
zation. If the assembly proves cap
able Of agreeing without dissenting
vote en- the different problems to be
placed before it during the next few
days it will, in the estimation of some
Of the leading members, have passed
the most dangerous point.

COTTON EXPERT
SHOWS NEED OF
SMALLER ACREAGE
By w. w. MORRISON.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 30.SThe
fields, the forests, the mines and
manufacturing industries are the pri-
mary sources of a nations wealth.
The records given in these letters
last week show that the combined out
put from these sources in the South
last year were in value we'll above
the combined value of 90 crops of
cotton figured at current prices and
the average of recent years. This
profits and expenses, but it should
be remembered that a large share of
the expense became the profits of
labor; hence a very much larger
part of the grand total than that rep
resented by the profits of the pro-
prietors went to swell the resources
of the South as net wealth.
This is an amazing record. The
question naturally arises in the
minds Of many Southern people,
"What has become of all this
wealth." This inquiry has been tre-
mendously emphasized during recent
months by the great difficulty in Sc
curing, in fact by the failure to Sc
cure in many instances, sufficient
money to protect Southern interests,
particularly the interest of agricul-
ture. A number of people claim, in
deed the opinion is quite general,
that it has been largely wasted in ex-
travagance and in adventurous busi-
ness undertakings. This opinion,
however, is completely refuted by the
official records which show that the
resources and deposits of Southern
banks have greatly increased during
The last few years, and particularly
so during the last year.
1t is really not so difficult to trace
where a large part of this money has
gone. During the past year indus
trial and commercial organizations,
confined mostly to the East and
West, especially the middle West,
have sold hundreds Of millions of
dollars of their preferred stock and
paper of like character. These sales
were promoted by a comprehensive
propaganda involving many expensive
advertisements in Southern papers.
Many Southern financial institutions
actively supported these undertakings

Bill Will Probably Not Be

March When the New
Congress Convenes; IN
complete Report Is the
Reason.

Plans for the district legislation
before congress have been chang
ed in the last two weeks consider
ably, according to information
which has gradually become pub
lie.
Directors of the Irrigation District
now believe that it is useless to try
ard secure passage of any bill through
congress before the new congress con-
venas nax$ March A. This decisio1s has
been arrived at because of the we'll
known policy of retiring congresses to
pass the buck" to the incoming ad-
ministration insofar as huge appropri-
ations and questions of policy are con-
cerned.
In pursuance of this plan, it is prob
able that the next few months will be
spent in securing complete report
which will be available for congress
ard the framing of the bill to be pre-
sented congress after the complete
data is at hand.
Walter B. kbbey. who is to repre-
sent the district in Washington, will
not leave for Washington before con-
gress convenes. Later in the winter
it is expected that members of the
board will make the trip and the bill
as it is to be presented to congress
will be framed.
Congressman-elect Phil d. Swing
will take office March A and will i'm
mediately plunge into the tremendous
task ahead of him.
