BRAND LAYS PLANS
FOR HIS TRIP TO US.
French Premier Coming to
Conference at Washington
Without Fail.

Premier Brands personal saserness
to attend the Washington conference on
the subject Of disarmament is such that
it is now likely that he will go regard
less of the plans of Premier Lloyd
George.
The projected voyage of the French
Premier to America is now the dominant
topic OF all political circles, and, unlike
the discussion In Great Britain. there -
no objection raised to his going, the
Chamber of Deputies before adjournins
apparently approving of the plan. Ine
Chamber after it's recess will have 70
take up the grave problem OF Frencn
finances, including budget questions, ana
1t ts not unlikely that the minority III
this Chamber opposed 10 the Government
will raise objection II the suggestion OF
Brands journey becomes official.
The conference itself, however. Is be-
ginning to be subjected to critical ex-
animation by certain parts of the French
press. ''St. Brice' In the Journal this
morning extends warning to America
not to be too much beguiled by the ac-
ceptances by the Powers. and express-
ing fear that the Pacific problem may
arouse passions now dormant.
The Journal sees the whole confer
ence as a scheme Of British origin, al
though theoretically It owes 1t paternity
to America. 1T has been fostered by
England as q means of liauidating the
agreement" the article
says. Tho Journal sees as other objects
of the conference the British desire TO
limit armaments as a sole means OF
preserving the Britannia hegemony, ana
secondly to bring the United States into
the international family and tie 1t up
to British combinations.
British cieverness Is shown In giving
to the Americans the illusions that they
are dirscting world affairs" the article
states. 'Is II, however, too late to ask
our transatlantic friends to consider
well the end of the road they have
started to travel? The real problems OF
the Pacific cannot be solved in the con-
ference room and disarmament Is the
greatest deiusion or to-day. Imagine
France disarming In the face of 60.OO0,-
00o Germans. How dangerous 1t is
then to foster such ch!meras!" !"

BERLIN, July 1.-THE German Gov
ernment does not intend to anticipate
the decisions Of the International Com
munications Conference in Washington.
says an official statement issued by the
Ministry of Posts and Telegraphs as a
denial OF rumors that official discussions
were going on with representatives Of
American cable and wireless companies
relative TO direct communication lines.
Representatives Of American cable and
wireless companies who had been infor-
NAL callers at the Ministry were told the
German Government would postpone all
consideration of direct communication
lines until the conference in Washington
had reached definite results.

MADRID, July 1i.-Commenting on
President Hardings proposal for a dis

present moment does not seem to be a
propitious one for Il.
THE various Governments are divert
ing themselves with utopian schemes for
disarmament. just the same as before

Ing to obtain supremacy on sea and

The first action Of President Harding
when he came into power" the Sol con-
tinues, was 20 take away authority
from the League OF Nations which,
whatever may be said. was the only
international organization containing the
germ of possible agreement. We do not
expect any other result from the Wash

from the conference OF similar kind

JAPAN SEES CRISIS
IN HARDING PLANS
Move Will Have Momentous
Effect on Her Role in
Far East.
b. the Associated Press.

TOXIC, Tuesday. July 12.-Presidsn'
Harding's suggestion for conference al
| Washington has been officially received
and was lengthily deliberated upon to-
day by the Cabinet.
[Since the filing of this despatch
Japan's acceptance of President Har-
ding's suggestion for conference mas
been received at Washington, no refer-
ence being made, however. to Far East
ern questions.]
The entire empire from the highest Of
ficials to the humblest citizen. has been
prepared for months for sucn move.
which everybody recognizes Is destined
to have a momentous effect on the future
of the Far East and the role Japan Is
destined to play therein.
Every difficulty Japanese statesmen
are apt to find in attempting to NIX the
scope of Japan's political activities IN
the future in the Far East is put Tor
ward here to explain the apprehension
created by the second part of President
Hardings suggestion, namely, that the
armament conference should logically
include a discussion CT general Far
Eastern problems.
Japanese officials decline to discuss
the matter, but the correspondent Is IN
formed that while japan heartily well
comes the armament deliberations, the
belief prevails that the suggestion or Q
conference on policies in the Far East
is one requiring the most careful con-
sideration on the part of Japan.
1t is pointed out, for example, that the
status If aJpanese in America is an i'm
portanU Uquestion to Japan. which might
like to know whether it is included IN
the suggested discussion. 1t is evident,
however, that Japan considers arma-
ment as the fundamental subject OF the
proposed conference. and this she Is
ready to discuss.
The Conservative Jiji Shinpo, which
Is pioneer in the campaign for an
armament agreement. calls President
Harding's initiative the greatest possible
blessing to the nations of the world.
Judging by the statement of Vice.
Admiral Kato Minister of Marine, to
the Associated Press at Toxic In
March," says the paper, Japan will
welcome participation and do her best
to act in concert with the Powers"
The Asdhi thinks the time has now
arrived for Japan to settle her account
in the Far East 1t fears that without
assistance Japan will be isolated and
says she undoubtedly Is facing the
greatest crisis since the Russo Japanese
war.
The newspapers find difficulty in un-
derstanding the real meaning of the
Japanese British notification to the
League of Nations that the Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance will be interpreted in ac-
cordance with the covenant Of the
league. The Kokun,in Shimbun ex-
presses the opinion that virtually 1t
means the alliance Is no longer effective
as military pact.

JAPAN'S FAR EAST SILENCE
FAILS TO CAUSE ANXIETY

for vacation In France was due to in
structions received by the Ambassador
from his Government relative TO the
preparations for the international dis
armament conference.
The French Government wishes to
maintain the closest possible contact
with the United States Government
while arrangements for the conference
are in progress and while the decision
Is still pending as to the specific ques-
tons that will come up for discussion.
The iptimation that France might be
anxious to have the question of the
French-Anglo-A American alliance dis
cussed again at the Washington confer
ence is believed to be one of the reasons
for Ambassador Jusserand's sudden
change of plans.

PRICES OF FARM
LAND INCREASE
Jump 65 Per Cent in Five Years,
According to Estimates Of
Secretary Meredith.
FACTOR IN FARM OWNERSHIP
While Reflection Of Upward Move.
ment of Commodity Prices, It In.
dicates Increasing Scarcity Of
Farm Land.

Misunderstanding the last five
years the selling price Of farm land
and Improvements in the United States
increased 65 per cent according to es-
Inmates made by the secretary Of agri-
culture in his annual report to the
President. Between March, 1919, and
March, 1920, the increase was 21.1.
Although the data for the 1920 CEN
sus are not yet available, it seems
probable, the secretary said, that
while the average price Of farm land
and improvements per acre increased
only 20 per cent during the 40 years
from 1860 to 1900 the price in 1920
is two and one-half times that Of 1910
and five times that Of 20 years ago.
1.-THE price of farm lands is one of
the important factors in the problem
Of farm ownership" said the secre-
tary. "It is estimated that between
March, 1919, and March, 1920. the in
crease in the selling price Of farm
land and Improvements was 21.1 per
cent. In the last five years the in
crease has been 65 per cent.
Net Return Less.
"In some sections the net return on
the purchase price of farm lands Is
considerably less than the ordinary
rate of return on first mortgages and
similar investments. The rental rate
Of cash leases, also, is frequently less
than half the rate Of return on mort
cages. Studies made by the depart
ment indicate that, in certain regions,
the recent advance in the price Of
land has still further aggravated this
condition. Such a situation is unfor-
tunate, for it increases the difficulties
Of tenant who is seeking to become
an owner.
"While the increase In land prices
is. to some extent, reflection Of the
general upward movement in the level
Of commodity prices. it must be re-
garded, in part, as an indication of
the increasing scarcity of land avail
able for agricultural use.
"War conditions stimulated an ex-
pansion of the area devoted to crops,
estimated at 10.1 per cent from 1914
to 1913, or an increase Of 3.4 per cent
in the per capita acreage. This was
effected by utilizing pasture land for
crop production and by bringing into
use other uncultivated areas. The ex-
pansion was particularly marked in the
case Of small grains. Since the armis-
tlce there has been reduction in
crop acreage. From 1919 to 1920
there was decline of 5.4 per cent in
the acreage Of 20 principal crops. Ap-
parently the reduction has been
brought about by returning the land

What the War Did.
"These changes should be instruc-
tive to those who would reduce the
prices Of farm products by bringing
into use large areas Of new land. 1t
is clear that If prices had been ex-
traordinarily remunerative to the
farmer compared with the returns on
capital and labor in industry, we
would not witness this reduction of
the acreage In cultivation, but, on the
contrary, a continued enlargement of
1t. While the war conditions tenn
porarily increased the net cash income
Of the farmer and stimulated a tenn
porary expansion Of the crop area.
this was due in large measure to the
response Of the farmers to the in
sistent call for more food, particularly
wheat and rye, the principal bread
grains. It is Of no small significance
that the contraction in acreage has
been most extreme In the case Of
these crops, estimated at 31.5 per cent
for winter wheat, 1855 per cent for
spring wheat, and 22.6 per cent Tor
