Washington, D. C.-"Revive the
Government Grain Corporation to pool
the wheat production Of the country,
stabilize the price and give the farm
ers cost of production" is the advice
which A. c. Townley, President OF the
Nonpartisan League has given to
President Harding and Congress from
the Jail at Jackson, Minnesota.
President Townley points out that
revival of the grain corporation would
not differ in principle from the reviv-
al Of the war finance corporation to
aid the railroads and to enable the
banks to get out from under frozen
loans.
He correctly points out in the terri
Bile conditions facing the farmers and
the nation as result Of their distress
that up to date those in authority have
formed neither plan nor action for re-
liev;ng this distress.
But since Mr.. Townley's plan was
formulated the Administration under
the compelling demand that something
be done has advised a corn strike for
next year through many advertising
mediums known as farm papers,"
The corn strike is the least dan
gerous remedy which they could pro-
pose. Corn farmers by reason OF
bankruptcy and poor credit will nat
urally have to cut their acreage some
what, or there may be part failure
of the crop and the politicians will
take credit for any increase in the
price.
Objections to Corn Strike.
But taking their own estimates OF
the reduction possible we find that the
resulting probable increase in price
would not give the corn growers the
cost of production.
Another great objection to the Ad-
ministration plan is that the chief
trouble is bad marketing and disloca-
ton Of our market for farm products
in Europe due to imperialism since
the war. The trouble with the corn
market is the hog market. The Ad-
ministration plan does not interfere
with these great causes but rather ap-
plies to farming the big business meth
cd of Withholding production when
the world, is already short of foods.
A further shortage of feed will result
In great hardship among our own peo'
pie as well as these abroad. = Presi'
dent Townley's plan, on the other
hand, would encourage present produc'
ton which the world needs and while
by giving cost of production to the
farmers would place these productions
In the hands of the consumers at
present cost or lower.
The Nonpartisan League plan IN
wolves elimination of all grain gam
blers because the grain corporations
can sell directly to millers and other
actual users; it would set a fair mar
gin for. doing business for the miller;
It would devote our idle ships to re-
ducing the cost Of getting our grain
products to the world market, and the
government would be able by It's 9TH
er powers to influence freight rates
and interest cost Of financing the
grain shipments
Mr.. Townley holds that wheat is the
essential food Of civilization and that
a wheat famine due to two years OF
production below cost should be
avoided in the interests Of the whole
nation.

Washington-Refect optimism Of
the British arms conference delega
ton with respect to the discussions
in committee concerning the naval
ratios of Britain, Japan and the United
States, British spokesman said, he
believed some announcement along
that line might be expected next week.
The nature of the announcement ex.
.pected was not revealed but the
spokesman said it probably would be
made before the conference in plenary
session Wednesday or Thursday.
Details of the American plan for
Limitation Of naval armament were
discussed at brief meeting Of
the subcommittee of naval experts OF
Great Britain, the United States and
Japan.
Japan Backs Down.
In some quarters prospects cor an
early agreement on the question were
regarded as having been somewhat
improved by the statement of Prince
Fokugawa of the Japanese delegation
that the announcement Monday OF
Vice Admiral Kato~ of the Japanese
advisory staff, that Japan wanted 20

Arthur J. Balfour, head Of the Brit.

functions there Monday and Tuesday,
returning Wednesday, and it is pos.

Geddes, also members of the British
delegation, will be absent from Wash.
ington over the week end, making it
Impossible to have a full meeting OF
the conference before the middle OF
the week.
There also was no Indication that
the full committee of naval experts, in.
|cluding the officers of the French and
italian navies, had been called. 1t is
generally expected that when the ex.
perts of the three powers reach
point where they cannot proceed fur

Naval Experts Not Ready.
In American circles there had ap.
peared to be feeling that Wednesday
might bring the discussion of the naval
ratio question to a head so far as the
experts were concerned. There was
no indication that such stage had
been reached, however, when the sub.
committee adjourned.

Il report Of the Wood-Forbes mis-
sion To the Philippines were made
public last week. The gist Of the
document is that the United States
should withdraw completely from the
Islands, or else that the hand Of the
American government there should be
strengthened. As for immediate In
dependence for the Filipinos the report
says: I'VE are convinced that it would
be a betrayal Of the Philippine people,
a misfortune 10 the American people, a
distinct step backward in the path of
progress, and a discreditable neglect
Of our national duty, were we to with
draw from the islands and terminate
our relationship there without givin-
the Filipinos the best chance possible
10 have an orderly and permanently
stable government

against the capacity Of the Filipincs
for self government. but rather thar
they have not had fair chance. They
