ROTARIANS URGE
RELIEF To STATE
STOCK INTERESTS
Bursum, Jones and Montoya
Urged to See to 1t That
State Receives Proper
Share of Funds.

Members of the Albuquerque Ro-
tary club went on record yesterday
IN favor of New Mexico's agricul-
tural interests getting their full
share Of the relief which is to be
afforded ty the new agricultural
credits bill. Upon motiCn of C'arS
M. Carr, the pr !" dant. DR.. David
II. l;oVto named o SPECIAL commit
.e. to Cri W up a sllitab Y resolution
which the club unanimously vo.ed
te endcrse.
The following resolution was pre-
pared by Mr.. Carr, e. d. Slsk ana
Charles S. White:
whereas, the agricultural bill
for the extending of credit to farm
ers and livestock producers, has
passed congress and gone to the
president for his signature, and
the purposes intended, and;
whereas, the livestock raiserS
and producers in the state of New
Mexico have had great difficulty
for the past two years to secure
money sufficient to properly and
economically finance their business
and are in great and immediate
need OF lower interest rates and
longer time payment periods in
order to enable them to continue
the breeding of livestock, thereby
conserving the principal tax paying
industry in the state and reducing
the cost of meat products to the
consumer and also all other agri-
cultural products to the consumer.
Therefore, be It resolved by the
Rotary club of Albuquerque, N, M,
at regular meeting held on this
25th day of August, A. d. 1921, that
we urgently request Senator A. A.
Jones, Senator Holm O. Bursum.
Hon. Nestor Montoya, member of
congress, and Hon. Merritt c
Mechem, governor of New Mexico,
to take the necessary steps to inn
mediately secure for the livestock
raisers and the farmers Of the state
of New Mexico the full measure of
relief to which they are entitled
under the provisions of this act.

WILL WITHHOLD
REGULATIONS ON
MEDICINAL BEER

Washington, Aug. 25.--Decision
to withhold issuance of medical
beer regulations pending congress
sional action on proposed anti-beer
legislation was reached today by
Secretary Mellon, in conference
with Internal Revenue Commission
er Blair.
The decision as to issuance of
the regulations was made necessary
by the action of the senate In re-
cessing last night for thirty days
without z finally approving the
Willis-Campbell bill which would
forbid prescription of beer as medi-
cine. "
The treasury believes, 1t was said,
that congressional action will come
soon after congress reassembles
next month and 1t would be pur-
poseless to put forth the regula-
tions under the circumstances.
The main factor governing the
treasury's decision to hold up the
beer regulations, however, was said
to be the lack of applications from
brewers to permit them to manu-
facture beer for medical purposes.

Washington, Aug 25-The treaty
with Germany which was signed
today in Berlin, was made public
tonight by the state department
1t puts into force the economic,
reparations, military and various
other provisions of the unratified
treaty of Versailles, but provides
specifically that the United States
shall not be bound by the coven-
ant of the league of nations or
by other enumerated parts of the
Versailles settlement.
The declarations Of the peace
resolution are reaffirmed in the
treaty and it contains, in addition,
a blanket provision that any bene-
fit which might accrue to this
country under the Versailles pact
Is to be regarded as of full force.
Germany's remuneration of her
overseas possessions jointly to the
big five powers is reaffirmed, as
are the military clauses of the
Versailles treaty, the sections re-
lating to prisoners, reparations,
finance, economic settlements,
commerce and abrogation of all
other existing treaties between the
two countries.
In disassociating the United
States from the league of nations
the document provides not only
that this government will not be
bound by the covenant, but that
no action of the league shall be
considered as placing an obliga-
ton upon America. The United
States also stipulates that it will
not be bound by the sections of
the Versailles treaty relating to
the boundaries of Germany, to
political readjustments in Europe,
to the settlements affecting China,
Siam, Liberia, Morocco, Egypt.
Turkey, Bulgaria or Shantung, or
to the establishment of an inter-
national labor organization.
