DISTRIBUTION IS
 SERIOUS PROBLEM
Secretary Wallace Tells Students of Difficulties in Getting Equal
 Food Supply.

Amherst, Mass, June 1O.-rhc Unit cd States has entered a new era in which the growing population seems about 10 overtake normal production of food, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace said today in an address before the Massachusetts Agricultural college.
 Fifty years ago there was land in abundance for all who cared to farm.'' the secretary said. Today that land is selling for from $100 10 $3O0 per acre. Fifty years ago the young farm who had the will to work. who had q good Wife ana a few simple imple- ments could move into the great west with almost certain assurance that aft CT time he would own his own farm and home; today a capital equal to from S2O. 900 to S:GlUUU is, required 10 carry farming in the great surplus pro ducipg states. The matter of financial credH, therefore has become one of our most pressing problems.
 The problem of distribution is one of our most pressing problems. The problem of distribution is on of inc1caSins cornpIeNity and is made worse by the increased transportation charges. which. if they continue for any , length of time are likely 10 make , marked changes in our agricultural and industrial map
 The agricultural colleges of the na- ton, Mir. Wallace said, face "the clear duty of giving more and more atten- tfon to the field Of agricultural econ omicS and thus enable the farmer to better serve the nation.

WESTERN UNION 60,
 IN BlG LITIGATION
Laying of Cable From Barbadoes Brings Company Into Courts

Washington, June 10.-Efforts of the Western Union Telegraph company to land on the Florida coast without an executive permit it's ocean cable from the IsarbadoeS brought that company into conflict with the Federal govern ment and led finally 10 extensive ltiga ton.
 President Wilson in 1920 refused to issue permit to the company the ground that the cable was to connect at the Barbadoes with the lines of the British Western Telegraph company, which held d cable monopoly in Brazil. Laier British cable ship appeared off Miami, Fla, and orders went out to the navy to forcibly prevent a landing.
 Submarine ChaSerS and deStroyerS were sent to Miami from Key West to patrol the three mile limit. Meantime the British embassy sent instructions to the captain of the British ship not 10 undertake the laying of the cable in American waters.
 Later the Western Union Company started to splice in the new cable to it's existing Key West -Cojimar, Cuba, cir cuit- but checkmated again when President Wilson revoked permits for those lines and substituted d modified petlllll WHICH ploilloIlId dhs SoiiiiSSlioh with foreign line.
 The Western Union company then took the case into the federal courts seeking an injunction from the District of Columbia supreme court. The goS- crnment immediately countered by fil ing what was practically a cross bill in New York, asking that the company be enjoined from further proceedings until a federal permit for landing of the ca ble had been obtained.
 The New York court refused to issue .an injunction, holding that the federal authority did not cover the attempted landing. The government then appealed to the supreme court and tenn porary injunction was issued against the com pany pending the outcome of the case.
 While the case was before the court a bill was offered in congress giving the executive full authority, Over the lano- ing of cable lines on American shores.
 Officials of the Wilson administration explained when the permit to land the Barbadoes line was withheld that behind the whole fight was fiie Broad question of cable communication with South America It was contehded that to per init the landing in the United States of a line connecting with tho British cable to Brazil would serve to enlarge the n,o,tat,uIy held by the British company

Washington, June 10.--Great curios- ity is manifested in the replies that have come in from the nations queried by President Harding in his disarnE,- ment feelrrS. It is reported that Japan which in its first informal response to the informal question rather avoided committing itself, has been won around by England to an expression of sym pathetic interest in the disarmament proposals.
 England, France. Italy and Japan have now indicated that they will wei come any proposition that means re- tuctiofi of great establishments.

TILDEN SAYS GRASS

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York.-Within ten years
grass tennis courts will be entirely
out of fashion in the United States,

national and international tennis
champion.
Tilden returned recently from Ney
Zealand where he and "Bilr' John
son won tie Davis Cup from the
Australian holders.
Excessive cost in keeping grass
courts in condition will bring about
their doom, Tilden believes.
"At the Germantown Cricket Club
in Philadelphia more than $1,000 is
spent annually on the turf" he said.
'For championship matches and per
feet play turf must be absolutely
flawless. This necessitates handwork
on every square inch of the sur

The champion said on his return
home that the courts at Auckland
ON which the Davis cup matches
were played were the finsest that
could be imagined.
The turf was taken up and trans
ported seven miles to the stadium
where the matches were played. 1t
was laid in little blocks and 0nursed"

making the sport available for a
