Bad As War-WOrld Must

. Liverpool, Nov. 3-(By A. PD--
George Harvey, the United States
ambassador to Great Britain. told
an audience at the Liverpool Cham
Der Of Commerce tonight that it was
futile to hope that Americans Lord
Derby recently had been suggesting
may some day be merged in a
definite alliance with Great Britain
and France. This statement was
made as a depression from an ad-
dress on economics and the interna-
tional industrial situation. in which
the American ambassador attacked
communism and socialism and de-
Tended the principle of individual
ism.
In his depression, Ambassa dor
Harvey recalled Lord Derby's state
ment in a recent address in Birming-
ham in which the latter voiced the
conviction that the success of the
Washington limitation of ornaments
conference would mean peace and
that its failure would mean war in
the immediate future. The speaker
also recalled Lord Dorby's suggestion
to former President Poincare Of
France at a dinner last Tuesday
evening that an Anglo French aIli-
ance would be desirabl in the inter
ests of peace. intimating the strong
hope" that America might eventually
join this com bination.

This vote was regarded generally
as decisive of the whole question of
sales tax at this time. but immedi-
ately after it had been announced
Senator Smoot offered another
amendment. embodying business
sales tax of one half OF one per cent
on gross sales in excess of $4,000 a
year. This went over until tomor-
row and Senator Smoot said he did
not think consideration of it would
consume much time.
In the comparatively brief debate
on the defeated manufacturers sales
tax plan. some Republican leaders
indicated that a sales tax might have
to be provided for in connection
with the soldiers bonus bill. which
they predicted would be passed at the
next session of Congress.
Before taking up the sales tax.
the Senate perfected the committee
bill with the adoption of some addi-
tional amendments offered by indi-
vidual senators. The program for
tomorrow was somewhat indefinite
as Democratic leaders had not finally
made known their plans with regard
to the 'rldicr bonus amendments. 1t
was expected, however, that these
would be reached and Senator PEN

the tax bill said he thought it might
safely be said that a final vote on

Boston, Nov. :;-As a result of
the present condition of the cotton
crop, seriously diminished by the
depredations Of the boil weevil,
buyer and consumer must not be
surprised if cotton prices are high
or, Russell 3. Lowe. president OF
the National Association Of Cotton
Manufacturers, told the semi-annual
convention of that organization here
tonight
Speaking at a benefit that marked
the conclusion of a two-day session,
Mr. Lowe asserted that the weevil
had destroyed more than 100000 600
dollars worth of the crop over a
territory extending from Texas to
the northern boundary of the cot
ton belt, and that the question of
the raw cotton supply had become
serious.
If all the spindles in the world
were operating. he continued. the
present crop would not be sufficient
to keepsthem going until the next
picking. And q serious feature is, -
he added, that the crop may be
even smafier in future years because
of the boil we"vtl.'
Looking into the future" Mr..
Lowe said. the general opinion is
that the cotton industry is headed
for prosperity with a shortage of the
production when demand becomes
normal
The whole textile industry faces
too much uncertainty in regard to
the purchase of cotton. The price
fluctuatoS to such an extent that the
manufacturer cannot plan his work
nor can the garment manufacturer
be certain OF any price on which to
base his product. There are few iHI

speculative feature is present.

sumner mast not be surprised if cot :

trary to the statement OF most stu
dents who say that every commod :
lily must be lower during the com

cotton crop makes such condition
necessary, and We manufacturers
can only hope that the consuming

An injustice is worked against
American women in the law that
nroyides that il she marries an alien
she loses her citizenship even If she
continues to reside in the country of
her birth and this forces the woman
70 endure taxation without repre-
sentation contrary to the American
constitution. This was the contention
made by Mrs. Octavia NJ. Graffte,
chairman of the Board Of Assessors
for Dennysville Plantation, who ad-
dressed the Assessors convention at
its closing session Thursday morning
at the state House.
Mrs. Graffte was the first woman
assessor who has spoken before the
Maine Assessors. and she gave a
clear-cut and pointed address on the
subject. Women in Public Affairs"
Although she comes from a. COM
munity that numbers only 30 people.
she spoke with all the clearness and
enthusiasm of one trained in much
larger centers and her discourse
pro cd one of the best features of the
DAVIS program.
She emphasized the point that the
moment an American woman as
sunes the name of man of foreign
birth she loses her hardwon right to
vote, that in some states she loses
the right to teach in public schools
while in other states certain privi-
leges Of an American citizen are TAX
en- from her. rs this fair that a
Woman's citizenship should be thus
dependent upon her husband?" asked
the speaker. is it reasonable that
she should endure taxation without
representation in her own country 30
She stated that il really is a ques-
ton of whether or not woman
shall stand as an individual, possess
ing the rights OF an adult individual
~ the eyes of the law. on whether
she snail be regarded as chattei,
dependent on her husband for citi-
zenshlp.
Maine Assessors was adjourned
Thursday noon after a series of most
profitable and interesting sessions.
The attendance on the last day, al
though smaller than on the two pre-
ceding days. was good sized and the
interest was kept at top pitch with
discussions and addresses. AS to the
success of the convention there was
not a bit of doubt by the assessors
who had gathered in the city from all
sections of the State, and President
Clement $. Stctson who instigated
the assessors get-togethers, was
warmly congratulated.
Two resolutions were adopted by
the convention Thursday. One was
resolution of coincidence on the
death OF Colonel +. G. Miliken of
Portland, prominent member Of the
Assessors association. The other
resolution was an approval of the
Legislature appropriating $1,000 and
OF the authorizing of the Governor to

and report to the next Legislature

House to be used for a State Library.
