wrong, and upon n wrong theory, and
you make a mistake If you think the
American soldier will be satisfied with
$50 on July /. 1922, and $50 thereafter
for each succeeding four months, and
call that a compensation for his willing

Insists Soldiers Are Deceived
"This bill deceives the American SOL
der. Every service man who has writ
ton to me thinks he will get $500 OF
5000 as soon as the bill is passed, and
will put it in his pocket. BY the time
they realize on the alleged benefits in
this bill their crisis will be over and
they will be back in their normal pre-
war conditions in industry and BUSH
ness.

AS to paying the bonus from inter
est on foreign loans or from the loans,
Senator Borah said that many of the
nations in debt to us are unable to pay
even the interest, and that they will
not be able to pay anything on the
principal for ten years.
"The only substance" he added "to
this proposal is that we shall ask i'm
pecunious and practically insolvent ma
tons to pay an alleged obligation to
the American soldier.
Party's Good Faith Questioned
"The Finance Committee, as repre-

and our Willingness to pay, and not
put it upon the foreigner or posterity.

authority if they regard this as an ex-

Justice, no less than gratitude, Sem
ator McCumber told the Senate. de-
mands the passage of the bill to grant
of the World War, generally called the
soldiers bonus bill.
Senator McCumber is head of the
subcommittee of the Finance Com

and millionaires made rich by the war.
Senator McCumber described the five
optional TEXTURES OF the bill along the
lines Of his recent report. In this con-
nection he said:
"0f course no one can cay definitely
just what proportion Of the soldiers
will apply under the cash payment

supported by the testimony. Is that

that not to exceed 20 per cent will
apply for the cash"

to the Hochi Shimbun to-day, has con-
tracted with the Asano Bussan Com

Lamar Explains
Montgomery Debt
In Public Schools

ROCKVILLE. Nd, Nov S. -
George H. Lamar. Democrat, and
former president Of the Montgomery
County school board, today gave the
following statement concerning the
county school debt:

dent of the board from 1906 10

a debt which was recognized ano
funded by act OF the assembly OF
1914.
The rejoinder charged the Re-
publican school board las of 1910
with the creation OF a real deficit
or overdraft of s5s.5Oo.' and that
the school commissioners had no
legal authority to spend the money
The facts are that the debt was
an accumulation Of school def1-
ciencies running through a number
Of years, caused principally by lack
of sufficient levies. $4,000 Of the
debt existing as early as 1906. This
was increased by s2s.SOO under tho
six years school administration of
those appointed on recommendation
OF former Senator Blair Lee. The
remaining $4,000 was incurred dur
ing 1914 in the Goldsborough
administration.
~As TO the legality Of these
debts, they were contracted. for the
most part, with the three banks
specified In the funding act. namely.
the Farmers Banking and Trust
Company, the First National Bank
Of Galthersburg and the Poolesville
National Bank. The public received
all the benefits and the general as
sembly recognized the validity and
caused the debts to be paid.

or shortages, but these Incidents
form a fertile field for exploitation
of the producer and consumer"
Some Of the corn belt farmers
who are familiar with the recent
experience of the cotton grower in
the South-where production was
decreased and prices shot up, more
than doubling the returns Of this
years crop-are wondering II they
have been wise in producing a big
crop of corn. Mr.. Mumford points
out that occasional attempts have
been made to stimulate and TO re-
tard production. During the war
large increases were effected.
THE cotton acreage in the South
was decreased IS per cent this
year." he said. 1T Is reported that
farmers in India have seeded Is per
cent less acreage than a year ago.
Corn growers will undoubtedly seed
considerably less corn next year,
Regulatory production policies have
been successfully accomplished and
believe can be effected wherever
and whenever there is imperative
need for it."

HANGING CHARGES
Tone of Denials by Weeks
and Pershing Arouses
Senator.

Senator Tom Watson Of Georgia.
added another lively. chapter yes
terday to the controversy over the
alleged hanging of American SOL
diers in France.
Replying to the blunt denials put
forward by Secretary Of War Weeks
and Gen. Pershing, Senator Watson
made his charges stronger than
ever. declaring that apparently
there were more gibbets than hos
pitfalls in France"
He took Secretary Weeks sharply
to task for the language he used
in denying his charges. He warned
Gen. Pershing that the Senate still
retained power to call a general of
the army before 1t and reprimand
him for the use of such language
as he employed in characterizing
the Georgia Senator's statements
He also submitted to the Senate
a large number of letters and tele-
grams sent him by former service
men offering to prove his charges
Of executions. One of the letters,
written by a former soldier living
in Huntington, w. Va, contained
several photographs of gibbet
erected in France.
Senator Watson began his speech
oy reading Secretary Weeks denial
He told the Senate he was willing
to submit the facts to an impartial
tribunal to decide whether he was
any less decent than Secretary
Weeks"

Watch World Statistics
On a recent visit to Chicago Sec
cretary Wallace said that the gov
eminent would give more attention
to the gathering of statistics on
world production and consumption
in order that the farmers might be
more able to produce intelligently
in the future.
Eugene Davenport, dean of the
college of agriculture, University
Of Illinois, says: The farmer
should not and will not deliberately
limit production. 1t would not be
morally right nor individually
profitable, because every farmer is
best on with all the yield he can
produce with the methods he can
employ. However" adds the dean,
farmers will be exceedingly eco
nomical in what they do another
year, and this will limit production
automatically unless they have a
good season."
The farmer, who represents one
third the population in this coun-
try. would be severely criticised by
the other two-thirds II he were to
limit the production of all agricul-
tural products as a means of In
creasing prices for what he sells.

planting less of the crop that has
