ment Meeting On
Armistice Day Bor-
ah Consulted

Washington, Aug. 11.-Presi-
dent Harding's formal invitation
to the great powers for confer
ence here beginning November IL
on disarmament and Far Eastern
problems was made public today
by Secretary Hughes.
The text of the communications
transmitted to Great Britain,
France, Italy. Japan and China to
participate in the conference
placed no limitation on the scope
of the discussions to be held.
1t was suggested, however, that
the question of naval armaments
may naturally have first place"
though it had been thought best
not to exclude questions pertain
ing to other armament from the
subjects to be considered by the
conferees.
Remove Misunderstanding
1t was quite clear, the invita-
tion said there can be no final
assurance of the peace OF the
world, unless the desire for
peace found expression lin a
practical effort to remove caus-
es Of misunderstanding" For this
reason, it was added, the United
States wishes that through Inter
change of views sit may be possi-
BILE to find a solution of Pacific
and Far Eastern problems. ;"
1t was not the purpose OF the
United States government, the
invitation added, to define the
scope to the Pacific and Far East
ern discussions "but rather to
leave this to be the subject OF
suggestions to be exchanged be-
fore the meeting of the confer
ence."
The communication to China
did not include an invitation to
the disarmament conference but
only a request to participate in
the Pacific and Far Eastern dis
cussions.

Prices On
Prunes AT
/ High Tide
Anticipated Advance
Not Justified by Con
ditions and Prices On
Eastern Markets

Creation of false market, such
as existed last year and the year
before, an unlikely development on
the face OF existing financial con-
ditions throughout the country, is
the only ground upon which prune
growers can base hopes Of mater
tally higher prices than those Of
fered by buyers during the first
few days of the buying season
which opened locally this week. a
survey of the situation generally
indicates.
Top Probably Reached.
Eight cents will be nearly the
top price, II not the basic top
price, unless all present indica-
tions fail, and it is highly prob
able that the fruit will be, going
into the hands Of the packers at
figures materially lower unless
some unforeseen element gets grip
on the market. There is nothing to
indicate that buyers will be forced
to touch the 10-cent price for
which growers in some sections OF
the valley are reported to be hold
ing.
While Willamette valley grow
ers are holding out for the 10
cent price they assert will be forth
coming within a few days, Califor-
MIA 4O-45c of the 1921 crop have
been selling on the New York mar
ket for 8 3-4 cents packed in rs
pound containers, figure which
nets the California producer but
little over 6 cents when freight,
brokerage, packing and the pack
er's profits have been deducted.

The 45-50 sizes are being offer
ed freely on the eastern markets
at u cents and bulk basis prices
of the California association are
authentically known to be as low
as Y cents for 4Oc and 5h cents

Short crops this year, as COM
pared to the yields during the war
years, do not justify the belief ex-
pressed in many quarters that the
price will rise on the strength of
scant supply.
The supply now in sight will
more than care for the visible mar
ket and leave healthy surplus to
balance the price.
