LEAGUE COUNCIL IN
SESSION IN SPAIN
Minor Question: TO Come Be-

san Sebastian, Spain, July 31.-The
open'r~ .,sion of the council of the
lea@ 70 rF nations began.
Tie r.ufrreeS will take up minor
practical questions, such as making
travelling easier in Europe.
The council probably will empower
the International transit commission
in Par-> to settle directly and prompt
Iy the difficulties arising from new
passport customs regulations, which
now delay International trains at all
frontiers, causing annoyances to the
passengers.
The counc. also will consider
whether in view of the heavy ex-
penseS and slow work of the Sarre
commission the cost should be borne
by the Sarre population as hereto
fore. The feeling has been evidenc-
ed France and Germany are most
directly interested in this work and
should share the expense. The re-
mafndpr of the session, which will
be private probably will be devoted to
questions referred TO the leabues by
the Red Cross.
Sessions of the council are expect
ed to continue for about week.
Re@inrtng Tuesday, the dasarma-
ment commission appointed at the
councils meeting in Rome in May,
will convene 10 prepare its report.
This will be presented to the council

Urges Cooperation Between Growers
 and the Spinners

Boston, April 22.-An increase of more than one billion dollars a year in the value of cotton to the grow CTS in this country and better quality of product for the spinners could be attained through closer re- lations between cotton grower and spinner, H. NJ. Cottrel of Little Rock, Ark, told the national associa- tion of cotton manufacturers in an- nual meeting here.
 Growers who produce annually cotton valued at two billion dollars are without information from the manufacturers, MT. Cottrell said, con- corning the grades and staples and the quantities of each required by the spinners. He urged the manu- lecturers to make a survey of the cotton growing areas in cooperation with local specialists to determine the staples and grades most profit able for each locality to raise and be best adapted for the spinners use.
 A permanent decrease in cotton acreage unless the movement from the farms to the cities can be checked through making cotton rais- ing more attractive was forecast by Mir. Cottrell. For the past five years, he said, enormous quantities of cotton have stood in the field un. til so badly damaged by weather that it brought less than the cost of pro- duction because there were not enough pickers to gather it at the proper time.

 "While this affair proceeded, other police were gathering in until there was solid wall around the Pre- mier's residence, against which the crowd broke vainly. Perceiving that this part of the impromptu program was a failure, the crowd turned to- ward the official residence of MT.
