Nation Should First of
All Be Loyal to Itself

"Our country" said Mr.. Harding,
"has never failed to measure up to the
demands presented to it in behalf of
humanity, and it never will. When it
ceases to meet these drafts, it will no
longer be our country; it will be, if
that time ever comes, the wretched
and decaying memorial of another civ
ilization that has crumpled, Of another
ideal which has failed. Of another am
bition for mems happiness which has
somehow gone awry."
In equally emphatic language the
president asserted his conviction that
his duty to civilization could be ac-
complished only if the nation took
care first of its own integrity.

State Meeting WOmans Fed
Grated Club.

Mrs. George Berry, returned Mon
day from Butte, where she attended
as delegate from Glasgow, the meeting
of the Montana Federation Of
Women's clubs.
Mrs. Berry speaks very enthusias-
tically speaks of the work of the meet
ings, both from an educational and
material stand point. The Elinor
Walsh Memorial was dedicated with
impressive ceremonies, at which the
governor assisted; the first payment
of $1,000 was made on "Custer's Last
Battle, the painting hung in the cap
itol at Helena, and scholarship was
awarded, besides other business trans
acted.
What seemed to please Mrs. Berry
most, was the educational side of the
work of the Federation, which is to
correct social conditions. 1t is aimed
to counteract the custom of extreme
dressing by women and girls, the Jazz
and other social dangers, by commenc-
ing the reform at home, by parental
example, and by making the home

document which may be signed by
President Obregon, is in no sense
treaty or protocol, but merely a writ

of the United States government will
be complied with Chief among these

The state department in its memo

as had been intimated, but in broad
and general way to have suggested
that safety guarantees for all must
precede recognition.

Heads of Railway Systems State
Crops Are Plentiful and of
Greater Diversity.

Chicago, July 15.-Crops this
year will generally be plentiful and
their diversity greater than ever
before, according to reports from
presidents of 80 leading railroads
and a number of agricultural pub
LEGATIONS gathered here by the
Standard Farm Papers. The re
ports, in greater part for July l,
are thus summarized by this agen-
cy:
Condition of crops throughout
the territory served by the Illinois
Central is very satisfactory and in
dications point to a normal yield.
The wheat harvest has been COM
pleted in many sections and thresh-
ing begun. Reports indicate that
the yield will be slightly better
than the average, corn making an
excellent growth and the condition
OF oats, barley and rye being salts

Wheat has been. cut and thresh-
ing commenced. The condition was
much better than the average and
large yield is expected" says the
Wabash and there are similar re-

Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific,
the Chicago Great Western railroad
and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Re. The Rock Island Lines esti-
mate the Kansas wheat crop at be-
tween 113,000,000 bushels and 130,-
600, 900 bushels. The rice crop in
south Texas shows a good growth
and reports indicate a heavy yield,
the Rock Island adds.
THE Chicago and North Western
road and the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul report winter wheat a
good average over their entire ter
rltory with crops about two weeks
ahead of normal.
Conditions in Iowa are prac-
t'cally perfect, reports the Chica-
go, milwaukee and st. Paul. There
Is plenty of moisture and all other
crops are doing well. In its Trans
missouri division, the weather has
been very favorable for crops
throughout the Musselshell division,
northern Montana, the Rocky Noun
talns and Idaho and Washington.
Corn is splendid and gives
every promise of good CROP de-
clares the Santa Fe. Cotton is
showing a good growth, and an in
creased demand during the last
month or two from both domestic
and foreign spinners has been rap
IDLY absorbing that portion of last

age. In southern and eastern Tex

tory and truck crops are turning

the program of the conference.-the
critics of the administration haven't
a leg to stand on.
That is the one thing that must
be discussed and decided il the
conference is to have any good re-
suits whatever.
The mad race for naval superior
ity is largely due to fears and sus-
piciops among America, Great Brit
ain and Japan, regarding the policy
in the Pacific.
Once these fears and suspicious
are removed, in the only way they
can be removed, by frank discus
sion, the greatest obstacle TO an
agreement for the limitation of
naval ornaments will have been
overcome
By including this Pacific question
in the conference program, the pres
ident has taken the direct route to
the very heart of the disarmament
proposition.

LAY ALL THE CARDS FACE UP!

More than ten billions of dollars
year Is being spent for war pur-
poses by the great powers invited
to disarmament conference in
washington by President Harding,
according to a Washington dispatch
to The Argus yesterday.
The United States, England,
france, Italy and Japan now are
spending each year for past wars
and preparation for future wars,
more money than is being disbursed
lor any other single purpose.
Seventy-five cents out of every dol
lar collected by the United States
government goes for maintaining
the army, the navy, the interest on
war debt or to support railroads
and ships under obligations &C
CURED as result of the World war.
IN calling the powers to a con-
ference on limitation of arma-
ments, President Harding has
taken the public into his confidence
IN respect to his plans for trying
to bring about an international
agreement. The leading nations
have accepted his invitation and
there dawns great hope in Ameri-
lea that through the good offices of
her president this nation, together
with all the peoples of the world,
may be laid into the paths of inter
national peace and may forever
throw of the heavy burdens laid
upon them by centuries OF war
fare.
Certain 'frrecon cilable" senator's,
who refuse to be pleased with any
thing the administration does,
cr1tlcise these plans because
France and Italy have been includ-
ed and because it is proposed to
discuss the question of policy in the
Pacific as well as armament Hmita-
ton.
This seems to be a narrow and
prejudiced view.
So far as France and Italy are
concerned, while they have not the
same interest in the naval aspects
or disarmament as the other three
powers, they are greatly military
nations and their participation in
the proposed conference will
greatly add to its Importance and
prestige.
Either of these nations is quite
as likely to furnish the moral lead
ership which is necessary to the
success of the great enterprise, as
is America, Great Britain or Japan
AS to the wisdom of including a
