Paris Decision Leads America to
Belief Other Nations Will
Send Their Premers.
NEWS SATISFIES U. S.
Presence of Foreign Premiers Would
Add Greatly to Weight of DeIibera-
tions and Expedite Work. of
Conference.

Washington-The hope of Amer
lean officials that the disarmament
conference will be a diplomatic con-
clave of the first order was strength
ened when France informed the State
department that she would send her
premier, Aristide BRAND, at the head
of her delegation of diplomatists.
The decision is expected here to be
followed by similar moves on the part
of the other powers, investing the
gathering with extraordinary signifi-
canoe and giving it much of the
plenary authority that was possessed
by the council of "heads of states" at
Versailles.
Congress Asked for 100000.
Meantime the administration pre-
paration of it's own part in the con-
ference was advanced by request
sent to Congress for an appropriation
of 100000 as an initial budget to pay
expenses of the American representa-
tives and of secretariat general.
The sum fixed in the request and
the data accompanying it apparently
disposed of any expectation that this
government would pay expenses Of
any of the visiting delegations, for
Congress was informed specifically
that the money was to be used for
the American delegation and for the
secretariat general alone. 1t was in
Dictated that later appropriation
would be asked should the printing
bill exceed present expectations or
should the conference last more than
two months.
In making the request President
Harding merely transmitted with his
approval a letter written by Under
Secretary Fletcher of the State de-
partment, who has been placed in
charge of physical arrangements for
the conference and who prepared his
Director General Dawes of the Budget
bureau.
News Arouses Satisfaction.
News that the French premier would
attend the conference was received
with manifest satisfaction here, for
there has been a general expectation
that should one of the powers decide
to send its premier the others would
do likewise in the interest of fair rep
resentatiOn.
Not only will the presence OF the
foreign premiers here add greatly to
the weight of the deliberations, but
it is expected also to be a consider
able help in expediting the work Of
the conference. In ordinary diplo-
matte gatherings much time is con-
sumed communicating with the home
governments for information and in
structions, but with the highest poll
tical authorities of the various powers
actually on the ground it is hoped de-
cisions can be made promptly and
with finality.

gave the Badgers to understand that
when they got through with them,
they would be limp as wet towel
and gasping for breath.
The Wisconsin postmasters who are
considered fortunate in having such
fighter as Postmaster Craig at their
head, have quit writing letters to
Oklahoma and are devoting their time
to rolling up a record that will spell
victory for their state when the last
day of October rolls around. They
are banking" strongly on the sound
intelligence of the people Of the state
to bring them under the wire first in
the great savings contest. They point
out that WiscOnsin's enviable position
among the states of the Union is due
in a large measure to the thrift and
sound business sense of her people.
"Our people know good thing
when they see it," said one of the Wis
conSin pOStmaSters, land they know
that government savings securities are
the best things available for invest
ment purposes. Of course, they are
not going to sit by now and let Okla
homa run away with this contest.
don't believe We pOstmasters will have
to do much working to arouse the peO-
about all we'll have to do is to tell
our people that Wisconsin's glory Is
at stake and that there is just one
place where Oklahoma should wind up
second place.
eve realize that the Oklahomans
are poppy bunch and that they
have not gone into this contest to lose.
They think they are sure winners
which will make the victory all the
more sweet for us. But Oklahoma is
not really taking things for granted j
she is going out with both sleeves
rolled up and determination to make
a showing that will show us up But,
while we are not counting the victory
to apologize or alibi for when the to-
tails are checked up at the end of the
contest"
The Wisconsin pOStmaSterS are GO
ing after everybody for support in
this contest. The "big fellows" FARM
ers and city men alike, are counted on
to buy the larger denominations Of
Treasury Savings Certificates, and
the citizens of more moderate means
are expected to run up an enormous
total on the purchase Of the new and
increasingly popular $25 Treasury
Savings Certificates. The postmasters
believe that former purchasers of the
500 and $1,000 Certificates will be
glad to lend their support by buying
of this years issues.
In the great wartime sale Of War
Savings Stamps Wisconsin had O good
record. Nebraska led the nation,
Ohio running second and Iowa third
Wisconsin, Indiana and Illinois also
were well up in the race. Since the
opening Of the campaign In December.

WOULD BOOST EXPORTS
Gov. Strong Outlines Plan Be-
fore Congressional Body.
U. S. Bank Chief Says Producers May
Be Forced TO Urge Cancellation of
Interest on Foreign Debts.

Washington - American producers
may be forced to urge cancellation of
interest charges on the Allied govern
ment debts to the United States, Gov
ernor Strong of New York Federal Re-
serve bank, told joint congressional
commission.
He expressed no direct opinion of the
proposed cancellation, but declared
that the economic structure OF the
country depended upon foreign mar
keting OF surplus raw material, that
extension of further credits to foreign
buyers would not help, and that for
eign exchange quotations which ncces-
Sarily were Influenced by German re-
parations payments, had further COM
picated the difficulties of American
exporters.
Question for Congress.
THE Internal al payment of a
given sum in dollars to the United
States cannot be used both to reduce
debts and interest, and at the same
time buy goods" he said. isn't it of
the greater advantage to the United
States that the purchasing power Eu-
rope is able to develop be used to con-
sumo surplus American goods, rather
than to pay interest on debts. This
is a question of policy for Congress,
with which l have no connection, but
| am going to ask you to consider it in
connection with the 'lct that an
export market for farming products is
of the greatest Importance"
Members of the committee pressed
Governor Strong to give his opinion in
case the debts and interest on foreign
government loans should be collected
but he replied that while there will
be natural result, it is not necessary
to discuss it."
Credit for Farmers.
Farmers may be provided with bet
ter credit facilities, he suggested, by
extension of the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn to include country banks, and by
system of nine months to two-year
loans through the land banks, with
part rediscount privileges, but he en-
phasized the Importance of the foreign
market

GRE eRF'EEo. GALES CONTEST WILL END NOVEMBER 1ST
Posmasers Believe New S25 Treasury Savings Certificates viii
Be Bought by Thousands of States Bargain Hters-"Bg
Fellows" Counted to Buy 500 ard ST 900 Securities
Great Contest Extends to Every Nook and Corner of the State

Competitive fur is flying in the Wis
consin-Okla government savings
contest. These two states, each striv-
ing to Guido the others in purchase of
government savings securities between
July l and November /, have passed
out of the preliminary stage and are
beginning to line up their forces for a
hard struggle. The Wisconsin post
masters, who may be likened to ''offi-
GERS in the field" are confident that
they will be able to score heavily on
their Observation-Disclosures in the
Southwestern state.
The challenge to a contest in gov
eminent savings was hurled at the
Wisconsin postmasters by the Oklaho-
mans. Almost as quickly as it takes
to tell it, the Badgers accepted the
def and set about the preliminaries.
The Badgers are confident that they
will win out handsomely in the four
months struggle, and this confidence
is well expressed in letter written
by A. FL. Craig, postmaster of Muk-
wOnaga, Wis, accepting the challenge.
Here is the letter:
ITO the Great State of Oklahoma:
1T is true that you are a wonder
full state, but do you realize what you
have run up against when challenging
Wisconsin on the sale Of government
savings securities? It is a very laud-
al, n FOL u To Io
world as a peer Of Wisconsin. Who
are you to dare to issue such a chal-
lenge? You can date your existence
only from the time Of the flood, which
left you buried in a mighty ocean,
while we, with our rock-ribbed hills,
have stood since the first dawn of
creation.
eve accept your challenge as the
noble mastiff accepts the clatter of
the French poodle. But we want TO
fight on an even basis We want no
advantage because of age and expert
cnce. We diSdain to crush foe by
overwhelming Odds. and in this ac
ceptance we give you all the handi-
caps III tIlC NOIlu we Will TIC OIiC
hand behind our back, cover one eye
with a bandage, stuff cotton in our
ears, put clOthespins on our lips and
limp on crutch-and even then we
will beat you q million.
"We hear you say Big Talk big
Smoke Big Stuff but Oklahoma, we
mean what we say. We laud you for
your noble aspirations, and for your
lofty declarations, but we pity you for
your state madness. Get some wings
and a parachute SO you can come
down easy. You pride yourself on be-
Ing of pure American ancestry. We,
too, are descendants of the original
American race. Mukwonaga was the
great chief Of the Pottawattomies, the
Father Of Chicago, Waukesha, Osh-
kosh and Sheboygan. He built his
tepees in Milwaukee, Madison, Green
Bay and Duluth. His spirit still how
ers over Wisconsin and his uncon-
quered soul still goes marching on.

masters Of Wisconsin to get your
scalp. What say you? Shall we take
