RATES ON COTTON
ARE UNREASONABLE
SAYS |. c. BOARD
Other Rates Affecting Tennessee
and North Carolina Held To
Be Prejudicial

Washington, Aug. 4.--The Inter-
state Commerce Commission held to-
day that freight rates on cotton seed
meal and meals of like kind from
KNOXVILLE to points in Virginia and
Carolina territories and north of the
Potomac river are unreasonable ana
prejudcial. Rates on these meals to
Knoxville, the commission said, are
not unreasonable but they are preju-
dicial to the extent that they exceed
on a distance basis the rates on like
traffic to Nashville.
Rates on mixed feed to Knoxville,
the commission said, are not unreal
sonable, but as to points on any south
Of the Southern Railway line to
Greensboro to Goldsboro, N. c., they
are unduly prejudicial in that they
exceed on a. distance basis the rates
on traffic from Nashville with min
imum difference of cents lower than
these rates, and to the extent that
they exceed the lowest rate on like
traffic from Memphis. Louisville or
Cincinnati, as to points north of the

were held unduly prejudicial in that
they exceed the rates on similar traf-
fic from Nashville or Memphis. ~

Keep Hands Off Business World
 - Key Of Message

St. Augustine, F1a.-A plea that the nation forget the animosities and par tisanship of the after-war period and put its shoulder unstintingly to the wheel of reconstruction. is expected to form the keynote of Warren G. Harding's message to his fellow countrymen when he comes into the presidency.
 Although the inaugural address stiIl is far from complete, it was learned t2day that considerable work had been done and that the subects it is to cover virtually had been selected. It is understood it would be very brief and will attempt no detailed dis cussion of any of the problems awaiting solution.
 One of the outstanding features Is expected to be an appeal for conf dence in the nations business stabil- ity, linked with an assurance that during the next four years the ad- ministration will keep away from meddling methods in its relations with the business world.

SWISS READY TO LEAVE

Paris-SwitzerIand threatened to- day to withdraw from the League of Nations if the Allies insist that the troops bound for the Wilma plebiscite zone shall have free passage over the Swiss soil. The Swiss minister to Paris, acting upon instructions from the Swiss government at Berne, not- fled Gasta de Gunha, the Brazilian ambassador to Paris and the presi- dent of the League of Nations Coun- cil, that Switzerland would follow the action of Argentina in quitting the League if the League of Nations Council, at it's next meeting in Paris on Feb. 21 insists that Switzerland permit the Wilma p1ebiscite troops to cross Swiss territory on their way eastward.
 Switzerland has sent a note to the allies explaining her difficult posi- don. The Swiss government pointed out that Switzerland, like other na- tions in the league, 'is composed of groups of different nationalities hold ing dissenting opinions regarding the Wilma plebiscite.''
 The Swiss government expressed regret over it's inability to comply with the allies request of free pas sage of troops but contended that there was no Justification for stir ring up a private clash on such grounds" Furthermore, it was pointed out that at the league assem- bly, in Geneva, Switzerland announced specifically that she desired to retair her neutrality so far as military ac' ton was concerned, although she

The Swiss Communists are opposed to the Wilma plebiscite and the Swiss government does not wish to take any action that might lead to a Bol- sheyik clash. The position of the Communists has been strengthened by industrial troubles and unem- ployment throughout Switzerland
