Washington, ID. c., Nov. 30.
China and Japan locked horns to-
day over the question of the recession
of Shantung to China, and the nine
Powers engaged in the arms confer
ence took refuge in diplomatic pro-
cedure.
Confronted with the certainty that
China would force the Shantung ques-
ton into the conference with all it's
embarrassing possibilities the Powers
decided BY means of good offices"
offered by Great Britain and the
United States that China and Japan
should be brought together in fun
view of the conference and of the
world with the hope that they may be
able to compose their differences.
This much the Chinese delegates
have accomplished. For the first time
in their debate with their armed neigh
Dor Japan they have compelled that
Power to debate the question in public.
All the provisions made for guarding
the secrets of the conference will not
enable Japan to force any conditions
upon China of which the world will be
ignorant. The day OF the twenty-one
demands made upon China when the
rest Of the world was engaged In war

A new feature of the measure Is a

agents to determine costs and sales
prices.
Chairman Penrose of the committee

COTTON SURPLUS
CAUSE OF WORRY
GOV. HARDlNcs STATEMENT RE.
VEALs DIRE NEED FOR
REDUCTION.
WILL SURVEY SOUTHWEST
crux OF Farmers Problems Declared
to Be the Foreign Situation
Resumption Of Building
Advocated.

Washington.-Governo Harding o.
the federal reserve board announced
that he would begin personal survey
OF the farm credit situation in the
middle west and southwest.
Reports to the board, Mr.. Harding
said, indicate that next years Ameri
can cotton crop would be within rs
per cent OF this years totals, although
at the end of the present cotton year
ON July l there will probably be a
surplus Of 100000 bales, or nearly a
worlds supply under present condi-
tions.
In the face of this situation, he
added, bankers naturally are cautious
in increasing their loans on farm pa
per. He expressed the belief, how.
ever, that there would be sufficient
advances to care for the immediate
needs of the farmers in planting their
crops.
The board, the governor said, had
thought it advisable he make a tour
OF the farming area to learn tho prob
lens OF the country bankers and trade
organizations.
The crux of the farmers problem,
In the view of Mr.. Harding, is the
foreign situation. The farmers, he
said, must have a market for their
commodities, as they cannot go on
indefinitely on credit without selling
their crops. He thought the reduc-
ton of the rediscount rate by the
Bank of England might aid American
farmers by making possible more
liberal market for grain and cotton,
not only in Great Britain, but other
European countries.
Inequalities in price readjustment
as between the wholesalers and re.
tailers and the transportation situa-
ton also were described by Mr.. Hard
ing as contributing causes to the
present agricultural situation. Ces-
sation of building also has been felt
and 1t was the governors view that
a resumption of building would re.
suit in a general easing Of expenses,
including high rents, which would
react to the benefit Of the farmers.
The federal reserve board, Gov.
Harding said, has no supecific plan for
relief of the farmers. He explained
that the reserve banks could not make
direct loans to farmers, but could only
rediscount the loans of member banks.
The governor said he would first
Visit Chicago, which is the reserve
system center for the important farm
ands of Illinois, Indiana and Iowa,
IND then Cleveland. Returning here
or the advisory council meeting Of
he board, he will then proceed to
Topeka, Kansas City, Oklahoma City,

FLAYS KNOX PEACE
SENATOR NELSON OF MINNESOTA
BREAKS TRACES TO BRAND
SCHEME.
SEN. uNDERwOOO's WARNING
Senator Nelson's Opposition Skaters
Stain on Americas Honor, But
oeprIves U. 8. Of Rights Un-
der Treaty.

Washington.-An informal agree
ment for a final vote on the Knox
peace resolution has been reached by
the senate.
The agreement was reached after an
attack on the resolution had been
made by Senator Nelson, republican,
OF Minnesota, followed by Senator I'm
derWood, OF Alabama, democratic lead
or, no other senator's being ready to
proceed. Senator Underwood and Sen
ator Lodge, republican leader, ar
ranged that absent senators should be
notified of the time for the vote and
the debate ended with adjournment of
the senate.
The first attack came from the re-
publican side, Senator Nelson charac-
terizing the resolution as "unsound,
hating, equivocating and only par
tial and piecemeal work" His oppisi-
ton shattered hopes of leaders for a
solid republican lineup for adoption.
Senator Underwood assailed the res
olution as 'inopportune," in view of
separations negotiations, and also as
an abandonment" of the allies. He
declared it would compromise the
honor of our people" and make the
United States an outsider" in claim
ing the island of zap or other war
settlements.
Senator Mcclellan, democrat, Ten
nessee, interjected a statement that
the resolution was unprecedented and
that the United States could not re-
serve claims under the treaty of Yer
sailles without being a party to that
treaty. Senator Borah, republican,
Idaho, replied that it was "a good
precedent" to be established
I'VE may not have right to ex.
pect that the party in power should
ratify the treaty of Versailles, but
we do have a right to expect the
conclusion of peace which would be
in accord with the aims of the war;"
Senator Underwood said during the
address.
Senator Watson, democrat, Georgia,
interrupted to say that "the present
uncertainty should be ended" and |
Senator Underwood replied that adop-
ton of the pending resolution would
not "fix a definite status of peace"
as there was no knowledge that
Germany will agree to the provisions
Of this resolution" Senator Watson
said the present and preceding admin
Istration had taken the position that
the United States was entitled to the
Spoils and asked whether the United
States would not be abandoning
American claims by the resolution.
"Unquestionably," Senator Under
wood replied, I'VE abandon our allies,
absolutely and Internationally, and
each a status of peace, BY passage
If this resolution we abandon our
lights as a war associate"
