ANTITRUST FIGHT Renewed
Judicial Proceedings Against Farm I'M
pIement Trust To Be
Instituted.

hington.-Institutio of judicial
proceedings against five organizations
of farm implement manufacturers and
dealers, and reopening of the Govern
ment's antitrust prosecution of the
International Harvester Company was
recommended to Congress by the Fed
eral Trade Commission. The commits
sion, in a special report to the Senate
in response to a resolution ordering an
inquiry, asserted that during 1868,
inclusive, more than 200 concerns man
ufacturing farm implements had COM
bined to fix prices higher than the
increased cost of manufacture and ma
terials," and that the dealers cooper
ating had made local agreements sup
porting the practices, all of which the
commission alleged to be in restraint
of trade.

Enhancing the movement of radicals
to the United States" marked another
day of debate in the House on immi-
grafton legislation. Adoption by vote
of 81 to %, of the amendment offered
by Congressman James r. Mann, of
Illinois, Republican, to reduce the en-
barge period was a surprise to adVO-
Gates of the legislation and constituted
the first victory for Representatives
Isaac Siegel, New York, Republican,
and Adolph V. SABBATH, of Illinois,
Democrat, leaders of the opposition.
Advocates of the bill, however, were
not dsmayed and said that they were
confident of favorable disposition Of
the measure before adjournment. The
Mann amendment actually limits the
restriction period to one year, reduc-
ing by One-half the period originally
proposed. AS amended the bill can
not be enforced for two months after
passage, and can be applied only II
months from the date of passage.

POSTAL DEFICIT
IS $17,27O,58
POSTMASTER GENERAL BURLE-
SON PUTS BLAME ON
CONGRESS.
Large Surplus Would Have Been
Realized But For Bonus Payment,
BurIeson Says-Deficit Second Larg-
est In the History of the Service.

hingtOn.-OperatiOn of the
fiscal year 1920 resulted i'll 4 deficit
Of S17.210, 4S2--the second largest i'll
the history Of the service-POatmaster
General A. S. Burleson shows in his
annual report to the President, in
which expenditures of the PoStoffice
Department are placed at $454,322, 600
and revenues at S437, 150,212
The Postmaster-General charges
Congress with direct responsibility for
the deficit, explaining that the eXpen-
ditures included approximately $685.
202, 800 paid as a war bonus to postal
employees and stating that but for this
there would have been surplus Of
$1S,42T,9 17.
Mr.. Burleson said he declined to APP
prove the bonus action of the legiS-
lative department, adding that he had
offered suggestions Of another plan for
cOmDenSating the employees which
would have served the purpose with
out at the same time giving a blanket
lIlCIGtoC III pay " l1lOuSE1iNo W lO
already were amply compensated"
"For reasons that readily can be I'M
derstoOd," he continued, "the legisla
tive department rejected these sug-
gestions made by the PostmasterGe
eral, and hence is responsible for the
deficit which inevitably followed the
indefenSible action.
"The Postmaster-General feels con-
strained to point out that if prompt
halt is not called and such policy is
persisted in, there will be a deficiency
for the next fiscal year of approx
mately $35,000,000, and the postal es-
tabIshment will cease to be Self-Sup
porting, as it should be, and will be-
come a constantly increasing burden
upon the general treasury"
Reference also is made to the deci-
sion of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, granting to the railways adj
ditiOnal pay agGregating S,1O3, $50 for
carrying the mails. This served like
wise to offset increases in postal
receipts, Mr.. BurlesOn declares.

Big NAVY DESIRED
SECRETARY DANIELS DESIRES
THREE-YEAR NAVY BUILDING
PROGRAM.
Because Country Is Out of League of
Nations-Pacfic Defense Cited as
Leading ProbIem-Increased Facil-
tiles Required For Hawaii.

WaShingtOn.-App of another
three-year naval building program, in
vClving the construction of IS vessels,
if the United States does not enter the
League of Nations or a similar world
organization, is given by Secretary
Daniels in his annual report to Pres
ident Wilson. eff the United States is
not to enter into any agreements with
The other Powers Of the earth, which
now are bound together in the League
of Nations" says the naval Secretary.
Il feel compelled to approve the rec
ommendatiOn Of the general board that
Congress authorize another three
year program to .be begun as soon as
the capital ships under construction
are launched" The three-year pro-
gram recommended by the General
Board to be under way by 1924 in
cuGes the constitution of three battle
ships, one battle cruiser, 80 light cruiS-
ers, s gunboats, IS destroyer leaders,
- mine-laying submarines, 6 cruiser
submarines 4 airpane carriers, 3 de-
stroyer tenders and submarine ten
derS.
IF the United States takes it's stand
with other countries in an OrganiZa
ton to prevent war and promote
peace" Mr. Daniels says, "Our present
navy, with the addition of some spe-
cial types, will be adequate for our de-
Tense and prevention of aggression"
No specific recommendations for APP
preparations for new construction dur"
ing the next fiscal year are included
in the Secretary's report, but his eSti-
mate of the cost of maintaining the
naval establishment for the coming
year is $679, ,T31, exclusive Of any
sums Congress may add for new build
ing. This is $24O,0OO,O0O more than
was appropriated for the present fiscal
year, but MI. Daniels says the sum lis
not really an increase" but is "neceS-
Sary to carry on the construction Of
ships already authorized and the COM
pIetiOn Of shoe establishments already
begun by direction of Congress-"
The most pressing problem confront
ing the nation with regard to the ma
tiOnal defense, the Naval Secretary
continues, is the immediate necessity
for increasing the naval shore estab-
lishment facilities on the Pacific Coast.

HUN CABLES ISSUE
AT CONFERENC
FIVE ALLIED POWERS SEEK So
LUTON REGARDING
DISPOSITION.
Delegates Agree That Further Efforts
Should Be Made To Find An Equit-
able Adjustment of the Problem Be-
fore Adjournment.

WaShingtOn.-Di over dis
position of the former German cables
which have threatened to break up the
international communications confer
ence, in session here, were smOOthed
over temporarily at plenary session
conducted at the State Department
Negotiations between the five allied
and associated powers represented in
the conference will be continued.
The basis for prospects of agree
ment by the delegates to the confer
ence was not disclosed fully and it
only became known that the threat
ened disruption had been averted
through cancellation of railroad and
steamship reservations by the foreign
delegates, who had planned to leave
Washington for New York and San
Francisco for their homes. Another
plenary session will be conducted in
the effort to reach a settlement of the
points at issue.
While no immediate end to the negO-
tiatiOns is yet in sight, plenary SEES
Sions of the conference are understood
to have developed at least a better
understanding and an agreement that
q solution of the difficulties surround
ing the equitable disposition of the
cables should be attempted further
before adjournment was taken. The
results of these latest conferences
meanwhile will be transmitted by the
foreign delegations to their govern
mentS, with requests for instructions
covering the most VeXatiOuS questions
which have arisen.
The outstanding difficulties in the
way Of an agreement are understood
to be the refusal of the Japanese to
couceGe the principle Of equality of
all nations in cable landing rights
on the island Of zap, one of the most
important centerS of cable cOmmuni-
cation in the Pacific, and the refusal
of the French to make concessions
to the United States and Italy Of the
German transatlantic cable seized by
the French in 1914 and diverted from
Emden, Germany, to Brest, France.
The United States, together with
Great Britain and Italy, have argEed
for the decentralization of ali
cable communication and upon which
cable communications of more than
one nation are dependent.

JAPANESE QUESTION LOOMS
Race Hatred Is Stirred Up BY Japan,
Kahn Charges in Con-
qress.

| NaSnlngtOn.-lISCu the Jap
anese question in the House, Repre-
sentative Julius Kahn, of California
Chairman Of the Military Committee
declared that America hoped always
TO avoid war, and that if ''the states
men, the publicists, the politicians,
| the agitators and the demagOgues of
| Japan really desired war with the
United States they would be the ones
to bring 1t on, and not the Americans.
Mr.. Kahn said he knew that he
voiced "the earnest hope and the wish
Of every patriotic American that peace
between the two countries may COL
tinue perpetually."
but the world" said he, has only
recently learned that we are not too
proud to fight, nor are we afraid to
fight when we are forced into war"
The Military Chairman Committee
took occasion to reaflrm his belief
icy would best safeguard the country,
and added:
Il have no fear that there will be
war between Japan and the United
States in my lifetime nor even in the
lifetime of my sons. And l am thor
cughly satisfied that if my country
remains measurably prepared there
will be no difficulty between the two
nations at any time" Mr.. Kahn, in
regard to the Japanese immigration
in W "a S11Io nct
of treaty negotiations between the two
Governments, said students of inter-
national law everywhere had recog-
nized the absolute right" of any ma
ton to regulate immigration as it
deemed best. ut is therefore most I'M
fortunate that a constant agitation
regarding these matters is maintained
by our neighbor across the Pacific"
hes declared, because the final effect
of such propaganda and agitation I'M
dOubtedly is to install pronounced
hatred of Americans among the masses
in Japan"
"This is a decidedly unfortunate
condition of affairs. Indeed, | say it
is a most serious conditional cOndi-
ton that may result, unfortunately, in
grave difficulties between two hereto
fore friendly nations" The speaker
said: MANY public officials in
Japan" as well as political agitators
had tried to make the world believe"
that opposition to immigration Of
japanese laborers into the United
States was based upon racial preju-
dice.
1--WE of the Pacific Coast deny that
this is the case" he declared. mo OBJ
lection has ever been made to the adj
mission into this country of Japanese
professional men, or Japanese relig-
iOus teachers or leaders or bOna-fide
Japanese merchants or Japanese stu
dents or japanese travellers. The sole
objection is to the laboring class"
Publicists and authors reported, the
California representative said, that
Japan was making every effort to
unite the yellow race that Japan, I'M
der such a program, hopes and expects
to be the leader of such a race ANAL
gamation; that she is striving in every
way to acquire and maintain the
hegemony of the yellow nations"

Utilization of Table Scraps and kitch-

Economical Plan.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Ii the chicken flock is to prove an
economic success. it must be fed cheap
ly. All table scraps and kitchen waste
should be utilized.
Scraps of meat or leftover vegetables
which cannot be utilized in any other
way make excellent feed. Many other
waste products, such as beet tops, tur-
NIP tops, carrot tops, potato parlngS,
onion tops, watermelon and cantaloupe
rinds, the outside leaves of cabbages,
waste lettuce leaves, and bread and
cake crumbs are relished by the hens
and can be used to good advantage.
In saving the scraps and waste it is
well to separate the portions adapted
for feeding to the flock and place these
in receptacle or pail of their own.
