UNITED STATES WILL NEVER JOIN LEAGUE,
 FRANK DECLARATION
Made Clear to French Envoy, However, That America Will Take no Action Help
 full" to Germany
By Associated Press

Washington, April 4.-The Harding administration intends to terminate the war between the United States and Germany by congressional resolu- tion, M. Viviani, the French envoy extraordinary to this country, is un- derstood to have been informed to- night at dinner at the home of Sena- tor Mccormick of Illinois.
 The former premier was also in-
 formed, it was said by senators
 present, that the programme of the
 administration does not contcm-
 plate entrance of the United States
 into the League of Nations.
 Those at the dinner said that M Viviani had been told frankly that 1t was useless to discuss the possibility of American membership in the League of Nations. Most of the republican members of the Senate foreign reid- tlons committee and Col. George Har- vey of New York, prospective ambas- sador to the court of St. James, were among those present.
 APPEAR RECONCILED
 hS HEeHtt cHNOy, WHO was accom- V panied by Ambassador Jusserand was said to have been informed that sen- timent of republican leaders was vir- tually unanimous for adoption of the Knox separate peace resolution, sub ject only to possible amendment from its original form early In the special session of Congress. M Viviania was described as appearing "reconciled' to the situation
 At the same time the senators
 made it clear that the United
 stntcs would take no action which
 could be In any wny considered as
 "heipfuP to Germany, especially In
 the matter of separations and ful-
 filling other obligations involved
 in the peace settlement.
 In discussing the proposed separate peace resolution, the senators, 1t Is un- derstood, asserted their intention to in- troduee it immediately upon the con- vening of Congress and urge it's prompt adoption. However. they added that if President Harding should re- quest delay in the matter of a vote, this undoubtedly would be arranged.

 No indication was given at the White House today as to whether other rail road labor leAders would be asked to como to Washington to confer with the President. It is expected. however. that some of the railway executives will be BeQuested to express their views before consreao convenes.

Southerr, Bankers Begin Preparing Programme e To Aid Cotton Interests
PLANS LAID FORW. P. C. HARDING FEDERAL AID IN SEES SOLUTION OF
 EXPORT FINANCING PLIGHT OF FARMER
Committee Named to Make Study of Plans to Create Local Banking Syndicates
 to Act as Agencies
By Associated Press

Washington, April 4.-Formulation of a programme designed to aid the cotton interests in reviving export trade was begun at conference here today between representative bankers from 12 southern states and Secre- taries Hoover and Mellon, as well as Governor Harding, of the federal re- serve board, and directors of the war finance corporation.
 Although no formal action was taken today. preparations for government aid in financing cotton exports were sug- gested and tentatively indorsed. The officially for giving relief to the cotton growers, it is expected. will eventually be broadened oapply to the other farm products.
 A committee was named by the con ference to pursue further studies of plans to create local or sectional bank ing syndicates which would serve as agencies to combine the financial strength of interests in the cotton crop. Around these. it was proposed, would be erected machinery for the extension of credit to stricken European states, where long-term credit is necessary and where there is no market unless the exporter is willing to await conver- sion of the raw product into finished merchandise.

 While the conference today did not go into details of the programme, it is understood in general to be the purpose to use the collective resources of banks in sections where cotton is tied up The banks aiding in the financing of the exports, 1t was pointed out, could, with their own paper. obtain further funds from the war finance corpora : tion so that their activities would not be curtailed by lack of money.

Declares Present Disastrous Cotton Situation Is Not as Serious as Some Solved
 BysPrevious Generations
By HUGH w. ROBERTS wsshinsten Bureau rhe Ass- -Hsrai
 S0Q 0avtdson 4uiic

Washington, April 4.-(Special.) ) w. P. c. Harding, the Alabamian, who is governor of the federal reserve board, and who is regarded as "cold blooded" observer of business condi- tions, in remarkable speech before southern bankers, in conference with the war finance corporation, today dissipated pessimism, and inspired his audience with confidence that the seri- ousness of the agricultural situation will be satisfactorily solved.
 Governor Harding reminded the bank CTS that the present cotton situation, dis astrous as it is, could not be regarded even as serious in comparison with others which the preceding generations solved. And he opened the eye of prac- tical bankers when he recalled to their minds that the extension of credit, when prices are low, is practiced more safely than when high prices prevailed.
 The speaker admonished the bankers of the south, both from a standpoint oE patriotism and practical business, to ''ad- vance the limit to the man whose record 1 for honesty is good" sHe advised, also, investment by bankers in European se- curities, and made the point that we cannot create a market for the con- sumption of our products unless we buy | from that same market" It was his point that European securities in time would prove profitable and would serve at the present as a basis of credit for I the countries most in need of American product.
 BANKS SHOULD ACT
 Governor Harding declared plainly that the bankers could not proceed sue cessfully without the aid of the govern ment. But he stressed with singular em- phasis his contention that the bankers could materially help the government by displaying strong initiative.
 ] Under motion of Representative Oliver of Alabama, the war finance corporation was requested and agreed to publish and circulate the speech of Governor Harding.
 Alabama bankers were represented by Col. Thomas o. Smith of Birmingham. l X Colonel Smith, in conference with The 1 Age Herald correspondent, declared business conditions in Birmingham ex- l ceedingly good, and that Governor Harding's statement that in respect to l prosperity, Birmingham occupied the brightest spot on the map, was correct. l As in all other states however, Colo mel Smith said the farmers in Alabama were hard hit, but that conditions would l improve, not only as result of plans | to be formulated in Washington. but by the intelligent reduction in acreage and I consumption of fertilizer on the part of l the farmer himself.

By Associated Press

Washington, April Although the resolution declaring a separate peace with Germany is to be reintroduced at the coming special session of Con- gress, the present plans of republican leaders as they shape up after long succession of conferences include no provision for hurrying the measure to roll call.
 In some quarters close to the admins tration it was believed tonight that the peace declaration, passed by the pre- ceding republican Congress and vetoed by President Wilson. might rest on the calendar of deferred business for a pe- riod of 90 days more while President Harding tries out his preliminary ideas for establishment of. an association of nations.
