Informal Feelers on
Armament Question
P ut Out by America

WASHINGTON; May 31.-"Infor-
NAL feelers" with respect to an in
ternational agreement for a reduction
of ornaments already have been put
out by the American government, it
was learned today in high admins
tration quarters. The purpose, it is
understood, is to develop the attitude
of foreign governments on the ques-
'tion befort any formal negotiations
are undertaken.
This action, it is understood, was
taken before the senate passed the
Borah resolution calling for a dis
armament conference.
Although details of the plan have
not been divulged, it is understood
that Mr.. Harding has suggested in
formally to the great powers that
the question be considered by the su-
preme council. He believes this
method more satisfactory than an at
tempt to settle the question at a
special disarmament conference.
The president, according to best
indications today, still holds his
original view that the Borah resolu-
ton would unduly tie the hands of
the executive.
At the time of the appointment of
Colonel George Harvey as ambassa-
dor to Great Britain it was an
nounced that he would be instructed
to breach the subject of disama-
ment agreement abroad. Information
obtained today indicated that the
first step in carrying out this course
already has taken place.

Golden Text-"Righteousness ex-

Golden righteousness ex-
alleth nation, but sin is reproach
to any people," Prov. 14:34.
Just because all of our presidents
and governors have been inaugurated
with their hands on the Bible does
not make this nation Christian ma
ton. How can it be or become a
Christian when its youths are grow
ing up in total ignorance of the Word
tically excluded from the majority
of it's schools?
The Psalmist wrote: blessed is
the nation whose God is Jehovah; the
people whom He hath chosen for His
own inheritance" But he was re-
ferring to Israel. and does not refer
to any other nation. We Americans
chosen people for this time; but there
is not scriptural ground for such
presumption and pride. 1t is true
that God has greatly blessed US as
nation and given us wonderful OPP
portunities for service, but as ma
ton, we are only nominally Cn IT'S
tan, if we can dare make even that
large a claim. And increasingly there
are coming to light the end results
of our policy in the past of receiving
with open arms those whose ideas
have been entirely and Fundamentally
different from those of our earliest
ancestors, so that the whole tone or
the nation is being changed. We put
on our coins "In God we trust" but
practically our whole effort is to get
hold of so much of the coin that we
shall be endpendent of God.
On the other hand, there are an
increasing number of people who re-
alize that righteousness eXalleth a
nation" and are bending their efforts
to bring to pass the condition when
righteousness shall characterize the
laws and the relationships of the peo-
Pile of this country.
We found last week. though, that
the only way to make community
Christian was through individual eff
fort for individuals; and this is true
with reference to the larger commun'
| tiles of the nation and the world
| Even the most saneuine OF those
! who seek. to accomplish result by
mass movement rather than by the
| one-by-one method see in the ma
| tional effort an almost hopeless task
| or rather, they hope for only relative
success.
Of course, if everybody in these
United States should live by the
principles laid down in Rom. IL
there would be no necessity for OF
ficers to enforce the law nor FOL
courts, civil or criminal. If every.
body respected the law, and PAID
taxes in full, and respected every
other man, both his person and his
property, and loved him as he loves
himself, we would have. not only
Utopia, but the Kingdom of God
But these injunctions of Rom. Il
follow, rather than precede. Rom. IL
1t is no use to tell man to do these
things who has not first presented
his body as a living sacrifice, be-
cause Of the mercies of God, tc
prove the will of God for himself
good and perfect. After he has
thus yielded himself to God, 1T is
only necessary to suggest these re-
lationships to his fellowmen anc
his government as the will of God
for him. and he seeks to sustain
them. The method of making the
nation Christian then is individual
work for individuals. 1t might give
Ford's weekly heart failure to hear
it, but this nation will never be
Christian until a Jew is the abso'

Florida Senators
Provide Serum to
Prevent Hog Cholera

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, May 81
Discovery that killing the approprl-
alton for the livestock sanitary
board would ston all work to pre-
vent disease among swine, the senate,
on motion of Senator Weaver, Tues
day morning, passed bill allowing
the board to buy and distribute at
cost hog cholera serum and virus
1t is now planned to take up the
house bill which the senate killed
Saturday and pass rewritten Dill
to carry on their work: The Original
bill carried an appropriation of $780,
900 for the two-year period, while
the new one will carry but S12O,OOo
The senate Tuesday morning
heard a communication from the To-
cal pastors urging the passage of
the Raborn eugenics bill. The
preachers pointed out that the pro-
vision of the bill forbidding marriage
of persons with social disease or
tuberculosis, if enforced, would pre-
vent many unhappy marriages, say
ing this was a fact that had come
under their own knowledge. The bill
was put through the house by Dr. Ra-
born and is now before the senate.
The senate Tuesday adopted the
Stuart county officers salary bill by
vote of II to IA. in spite of the Wig

1t has been agreed that much whisky
has been used in influencing mem
bers in the matter. The bill as
amended in the senate permits coun-
ty officers to take all the net pro-
leeds of their DICE up to $4,000.
After that they take a graded
nercentags of the fees, but no officer
except in counties of more than 10O,-
900 people. shall get more than S6,-
900.
Duval is the only county affected
by the exception and it's officers may
have as much as $500 if they earn
it.
The Carlton law passed two years
ago was declared unconstitutional
and the Stuart-Taylor bill is an eft
fort to remedy that situation.
This was monument day in the
senate. Bills for four having passed.
They are: Olustee battlefield, $4,000;
battle of Natural bridge, $4,000;
memorial to General Loring at st.
Augustine, $4,000. Monument to

REVIVAL OF TRADE

cheered when he demanded a modified
participation in foreign affairs by
the United States. The senator, de-
claring the cotton business is not
a local matter, but a national affair,
asserted European trade is necessary
to stabilize it.
IT'S unfortunate that our voice
is not heard more in Europe" he de-
Clared.
American advice and help, he said,
would dispose of a lot Of questions
and would end the folly of little
nations created by the war" America
could throw her influences against
the ''pestiferous scrapping" of the
little nations, he said:
Close associations with foreign ma
tons, without being bound to fight
and finance" would help restore the
world, he said.
Restoration Of the normal cur
rents of trade is essential to the cot
ton grower. he said. Senator Smith
declared he was optimistic for the
future of the industry.
The real problem in the cotton
world is to start European industry
again and encourage the export Of
finished goods from Europe, q. M;
Anderson, Jr.. of the Chase National
bank, New York, told the conference:
He pointed out that the price Of
cotton in Liverpool for the past SIX
months has been generally below the
normal parity with New York prices,
and that at times it has been prot
liable even to bring back raw cot
ton from England for sale in New
York.
The speaker opposed protective
tariffs directed against European
manufacturers. Speaking as rep
resentative of the New York State
Bankers associa ton, he said there
was a disposition on the part OF
the banking fraternity to tacllltate
export trade.
"Since the middle of 1919 when
government loans to Europe largely
ceased" he said, the overwhelming
bulk of our exports had gone on
open account, and an unfunded debt
of Europe to the United States of
not less than 100000 has been
created.
directly and Indirectly American
banks are carrying most OF TINS: A
one-sided export trade of this KIND
cannot continue and at the present
time appears largely to have ceased.
"One thing the cotton producers
can do that would really help the
situation would be to resist the meas
ures now under consideration for I'M
posing high protective tariffs on i'm

to buy. rich neighbor is good

dustries is the most important thing
that can come about to help the
existing situation.'

shaken up as a result of a disagree

conference in London next month to

dent Harding's advice to work for
