SIMS DENOUNCES
 PROPAGAND|STS
Says Many Americans When They Want Money, But Sim
 FeinerS on Platform
By Assoclated Press

London, June 7.-Rear Admiral William s. Sims. U. S N, advised Britons and Americans to disregard dangerous propaganda circulated in America by your enemies and ours" in addressing a luncheon of the Eng lish- speaking union here today.
 In denouncing American 'hyphen. ates" Admiral Sims said:
 T do not want to touch on the Irish question for I know nothing about it. and I have not found any Englishman who does. But there are many in our country who technical ly are Americans, some of them naturaiized and some born there, but none of them Americans at all.
 They are Americans when they on the platform They are making war on America today.
 'The simple truth of it is that they have the blood of British and Americans on their hands from ob- structions they placed in the way of the most effective operation of the allied naval forces during the war.
 They are like zebras-either black horses with white stripes, or white horses with black stripes, but we know they are not horses, they are asses But each of those asses has a vote and there are lots of them.'
 The admiral advised the British to ignore any resolution forced by these jackass votes"
 He deplored the fact that there was a section of the press on both sides of the Atlantic which put false news on the wires which causes ques- tions to be asked"

TRIAL OF SEAY ID N
 OPEN THURSDAY
Indications Point to Defense by Insanity Plea, Which
 Seems Well Founded

Florence, June Especial. )--Puo- lie interest in the trial of r. White Seay. for the murder of his gir' wife. which is set for Thursday, June 9, has waned considerably from the fever heat of the days following the commission of the horrible crime of which he Is accused because of the growing conviction in the public mind that the defendant is insane. Mrs, M. Seay, mother of the de- fendant, Is in receipt of a number of affidavits from physicians and sur geons who examined White Seay on the two occasions when he was coni- mitted to an ansyium at Little Rock, Ark, for treatment, which indicate that he was certainly mentally un- balanced at least twice previously.
 There is little doubt that the at torney for Seay will enter a plea of insanity and his previous history, coupled with the acts that led up to the crime and his actions subss- duent to 1t will give them an oppor- tunity to make q strong case on their plea.
 Visitors have been refused admis- sion to see Seay since his arraign- ment before the grand jury and he has said nothing to anyone con- nected in any way with the news papers.
 w. W. Callahan of Decatur. Seay's attorney, has been making desptrate efforts 10 locate the naval surgeon who examined Seay while he was in the navy. but it is not known wheth CT he has succeeded
 There is some talk of an applica ton being made for change of venue by Seay's attorneys, but in all probability the case will go to trial here Thursday.

EXPLOITATION
 IS NEAR END
Wallace Declares Agriculture Must Be Put on Sound
 Basis to Continue
By Associated Press

New York, June 1.-The period of agricultural exploitation" in the United States is practically at an end. Secretary of Agriculture Wal lace said tonight in an address at d dinner given by the Standard Farm Papers Publishers Association to a group of New York business men. If production is to be maintained, he declared. every effort must be made to put agriculture on thor oughly sound basis in order that the farmer may be able to get prices for his products which will give him fair rate of interest on the money he has invested and a fair labor wage"
 Constantly increased production will not, alone, accomplish this end, Mir Wallace said. but must be sup plemented by better methods of dis tribution which will give the con sumer in the city the farm products with less waste and at less relative cost"
 We have come to a time when consumption has practically overtak- en production" the secretary said.
 Just now we are Tn the midst or serious agricultural depression. caus- ed by unusually large crops ana the breaking down of our foreign mar ket and, in part, to our donestic market. This depression illustrates how intimately agriculture is con nected with the business of the na- ton.
 We must learn to take some of the speculative risk out of farming"
 The corn farmer last year produc- ed his crop at cost of something over so cents a bushel, the speaker said, and when it was ready for mar set, he found that the price was about one half or less the cost of produc- uon. The producers of other grains, cotton, rice and fruits were said to have had the same experience.
 This has resulted fin a condition which may well challenge the best thought of the nation" Mir. Wallace said. No good citizen can view with satisfaction a situation in which the purchasing power of about 40 per cent of our people is seriously inn paired. Of course we know this sit uation will not continue. Already hopeful signs are appearing"
