Washington, Mar. 19- Eco
nOmic depression in the United
States has been linked definitely
with the league of nations issue,
it developed today as an out

This cannot be aefiiev they
say, unless America has voice

According to the opinion expressed
at the cabinet meeting, the condition
of the American farmer and stoclman
is much more critical than generally
realized. 1t is premature to tai; of
business picking up" it was decied,
until the farmers obtain relief. he
fact also was considered that the av-

ciate that the condition of the tgri-
culturist, unless relieved, will bere-
flected ultimately in all branches Of
business and industry. Cabinet mel,
bers admit that this far a solutio
has not been found.
Tariff Not the Remedy
1t is understood now that Presiden
Harding, in his reluctance to desig
nate the tariff as the first matter fo
congress to consider, had had in min
its possible effect on the genera
world situation. The belief is in
creasing that a tariff wall cannot al

Secretaries Hoover and Mellon, VIII

the business point of view, are cor
sidered to have emphasized yestel
day that what America needs is il
creased business abroad. They recoe
nize, however, that few foreign ms
tions can pay the United States
gold and that payment in raw prc
ducts is one of the causes that is az

They propose, therefore, th'
America must begin the purchase I

and distribute her wealth as Gre;
Britain did when she reached the pes

Pointing the Way to Harding
Hoover and Mellon are understoC

er lasts Saturday night.
Decker, an eighteen year old farm
err boy, told how he killed his friend

many marks of milarity in ap-
pearance.
After hitting Lovett in the head

the buggy standing on a railroad
track so that it might be struck by a
train.

the body identified by his family as
that of himself. His brother would

mysterious character known as Guy

the sheriff of Koskisco county, after
grilling by officials had failed to
bring forth the story.
