Admiral Kato, minister Of marine, in

ing to compete with tho American Navy
and that her project to have a fleet of
eight battleships and eight battle
cruisers not more than eight years old
was not necessarily irreducible, the
Conservative newspaper Jijo Shimpo de-
carcs this statement merits serious at
tention throughout the world.
1t deserves such attention, i. says,

sibiity Of scaling down the eight bat
tleshin- eight battle cruiser project when

shall have been concluded among the

Pennsylvania Society In Appeal To Senators Knox And Penrose
 For Long Staple Cotton Tariff

zona, which numbers 150O, through an executive committee composed of the undersigned, have met and passed d resolution appealing to your falr judgment and action in the matter of placing a tariff on cotton and the fol- lowing is submitted for your careful consideration:
 Is the farmer of America to be put en a level with the 'fellaheen' of Egypt? Is the plane of nvlng in the rural communities of America to be brought to a point where it will breed bolshevistic tendencies and revolu- tion?
 The backbone of the nation is the farmer, and he. as much as the me chanic in town, is entitled to the pro- tection of a tariff; if tariff there is to be- let it protect the farm as well as the factory.
 The ability to buy on the part of the farm population means the sue cess of the manufacturing enterprises If the farmer is unable to buy, or starts a buyers strike" the effect is quickly felt in the manufacturing centers. Put the farmer in the po- sition where he can buy and he is the most ready to buy.
 The nation needed cloth for ar | planes, gas masks and many other | important uses during the great war | Where did the war department go tc | find the raw product with which tc make this material? After searching l the world over and finding nothing | they utilized the long staple cottor which had been grown in the Sal River valley. and found it perfectly suited for their needs. If another wal
 comes along, and it is right that w
 should be prepared against it. is i
