Of fkESlDENT- HARDtNG
WASHINGTON, April 12.-presi-
ent Harding in his first address to
ongress today announced that he
would approve "declaratory resolu-
ion" by congress with qualifications
ssential to protect our rights" which
would end the technical state of war
against the central powers of Eu-
ope."
The president added, however, that
1T would be idle to declare for sep
rate treaties Of peace with the CEN
raj powers on the assumption alone
hat these would be adequate, because
he situation is SO involved that our
peace engagements can not igntre
the old world relationships and Ef6
settlements already effected, nor ii
it desirable to do so in preserving our
own rights and contracting our fu-
ture relationships

} SIT Is UP to the South to say
what it wants for cotton his year,
said a cotton expert from New York
the other Gay. If the Southern farmer
eally wants high priced cotton, all
he has to. do is to say SO by slashing
nd unprecedented cut in acreage. Or
if he wants a low price, he can just
say so by stopping with half heart
ed, half way policy Of acreage reduc-
tion-and he will surely find prices
low enough next fall" This is the
whole situation in nutshell.
AS we face this problem for the
last time before making decision,
however, the old question comes up:
"What can l do with all the land and
labor that release from cotton this
year?" And once again, therefore,
in this last appeal for acreage re-
duction, we wish to consider with our
readers just what can be done with
land and labor SO released from the
money crops"
