Failure to Sign Pact Is No In
valuation.

Washington, April THE right of
the American government to partici-
pate in tie peace settlements affecting
the former overseas possessions of
Germany has been stated anew by Sec
retary Hughes in similar notes which
are now before the Japanese, British,
French aid Italian governments
Continuing a correspondence begun
by the Wilson administration the new
secretary of state specifically asks
those governments to reconsider the
award of a mandate to Japan for the
Pacific Island of Yap. Mr. Hughes
argues that the failure of the United
States to become a party to the treaty
of Versailles has not affected its rights
in the overseas possessions. the titles
to which Germany renounced in the
peace treaty to the principal allied and
associated powers.
The attention of the four allied gov
ernments is again called to the fact
| that President Wilson at the meeting:
\ of the council of four in Paris spe,
i officially, made reservations affecting
Yap. Furthermore, Mr.. Hughes EN-
! bodies in his note memorandum
from Mr.. Wilson declaring he never
agreed to the Yap mandate fer Japar
and that it was his understanding thai
| the matter was to be deferred unit
the question of cable communication
was settled.
| 1t has been contended that the man
| date over Yap was awarded to JapaI
| by the council of four while Presiden
| Wilson was at Paris.

It's not flooding of the mines that
you are doing" the premier declared,

This is an industrial country. If it
ceases to be Industrial it is destroyed.

anybody else.
England then will become what it
was hundreds of years before her in

Chicago. April THE fight over
compulsory pooling of farmers grain
which began yesterday on presenta-
ton of the Committee of Seventeen's
reports on a national cooperative
grain marketing system, broke out
Immediately today on reconvening of
the farmers ratification conference
The attack on optional pooling was
opened by L. P. Bailey, chairman of
the Kansas organization committee of
the wheat growers association of
America which stands for 100 per
cent pooling but is willing to com
promise on 331s per cent.
Kansans on Both Sides.
Mr.. Bailey declared that effective
regulation of wheat supplies could not
be accomplished without a pool, and
characterized pooling as the missing
link in farmers marketing.
R. c. Obrecht, another Kansan at
once took issue with Mr. Bailey. He
felt sure the Kansas Farmers union
of which he was a county president,
would not sign a contract containing a
compulsory clause.
ri believe the consuming public will
not stand for throwing the wheat into
a pool to foster the market beyond
what it will stand,' he told the dele
gates.
Support was then given the COM
pulsory sentiment, which centers in
i the activities of the National Wheat
| Growers association at Wichita by
| Howard Leonard, president of the Hi
nois Agricultural association. Mr.
| Leonard said he was convinced that
unless pooling was required of each
! farmer, it would not be possible te
! carry out the pooling principle. Prof
H. c. Fil1ey of the University of Ne
braska replied that if pooling wa:
good farmers would take advantage
of the optional privileges offered.
