LEAGUE ON j. 8.
Allies Ready to Strike
Article X From
Covenant.

Paris, March 17.-(By the Associat-
ed Press. Irene Viviani, former
prime minister of France, on his forth
coming visit to the United States will
60 prepared to ask on behalf of the
council of the League of Nations wheth-
er the United States government will
not enter the League of Nations pro-
vided Article X is stricken from the
covenant Of the league.
This has not been disclosed officially,
nor by NJ Viviani himself, but it is the
understanding of intimate associates in
public life that this will be the primary
object Of his visit to Washington.
NJ Viviani will set forth consifera-
tions which he considers will make il
easy for the United States to enter the
League of Nations. He has talked over
the question, not only with members
Of the French government, but with
the council of the league and with var
as having special knowledge Of the
United States.
1t is understood that NJ. Viviani will
point out that the French and allied
nations cannot abandon the covenant
of the legaue because it is inseparably
interviewer with the execution of the
treaty of Versailles:
First, with regard to the administra-
ton of the Saar region; second, the
administration of Danzig, and the Pol
ish corridor; third, that it has given
title to the districts Of the Eupen and
Malmedy to Belgium. and fourth, that
it is charged to supervise the restric-
ton of Germany's armament, and that
of her late allies, along with other ma
tions, after the withdrawal of the al
lied military commission.

whether revenue or tariff revision

desired 10 have the necessary data IN

Berlin, March 17.--(By the Asso-

the foreign minister, speaking before
a committee of the economic council OF
the reichstag Thursday, said I'VE are
pretty well agreed that sooner or
later we shall enter into negotiations
with the entente.
Il am of the opinion that our adver-
saries' method of laying down figures
for Germany's capacity in the form of
anpuities for long time beforehand
will prove a failure" he said. I'VE
must face the problem from another
side and place the work Of reconstruc-

at the same time formulating as COM

construction Of the devastated regions
of France"
Or. Simons expressed the view that
the French economic distress could
only be relieved with the aid of German
labor, which might be put forward as
security for 4 loan.

Smoke Houses and Corn Cribs
Need Attention.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 11.-South-
ern farmers must pay more attention
to "corn cribs and smoke houses" and
reduce overproduction 'of cotton and
tobacco this year. Gov. w. P. G..
Harding of the federal reserve
board, speaking before probably the
largest and most brilliant financial
gathering which has met in Richmond
in years, declared in an address to-
night in the Commonwealth club,
which fairly radiated with optimism
as to the future.
Governor Harding, who is here as
the guest of John Shelton Williams,
comptroller of the currency, told a
gathering which represented every
financial institution in the city and
included with two exceptions, the
federal reserve board, thatthe peak
of initiation was past and that there
was no reason to look to the future
with any other view than optimism.
"I have great faith in the Ameri-
can people when they assert them
selves" Governor Harding declared,
after telling his audience that the
mental intoxication which the pub
lie has been suffering is wearing off,"
Price fluctuations must be stabi-
lized, declared the speaker, and this
is one of the many problems which
still face the bankers of the coun-
try.
He told the bankers that each
should make up his mind that it was
his individual business to help bring
conditions back to normal. He ad-
vised all to pull together and restore
the equilibrium of the country.
At present "buyers' market" eX-
lists, Governor Harding told his audi
ence, the reverse of what has exist
ed in the past few months. He told
the bankers what the policy of the
federal reserve has been and took is
sue with those who have criticised
the recent deAations of currency.
