WILSON ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT
ON DEFERMENT OF INTEREST STANDS

ing was reduced to written memor-
anda." These conferences. the COM
r1ittee was informed, were held after
Secretary Glass and his successor,
David S. Houston, had decided there
was no authority in law for the de-
ferment Of interest payments.
Assistant Secretary Wadsworth,
who accompanied Mr.. Mellon before
the committee, declared large part
of the interest which the United States
had collected upon its foreign loans,
was from money which the allied gov
ernments had borrowed for that pur-
pose. Figures were presented to the
committee showing that on the foreign
loans amounting to over ten billion
dollars, there has accumulated ac-
crued interest amounting to s943.534, :

BRITAIN'S OFFER
TO IRELAND WILL
BE KNOWN TODAY
Cabinet Holds Session and Dis
cusses the Situation
Thoroughly.
NO HINT OF BREAKDOWN
IN THE NEGOTIATIONS
Not Known Whether Sir James
Will Join in Tripartite
Conference or Not.
tey The Associated Press.1

LONDON, July 20.-The British
cabinet sat for two hours and a half
this evening considering the Irish
plans, after which Premier Lloyd
George went to Buckingham Palace
and laid before the king, whose in
terest in an Irish settlement is the
keenest, the proposals for submission
to Eamonn DeValera the Irish repub-
lcan leader, at tomorrow's conference.
The prime minister presided at the
cabinet council, which was held in the
house of commons and outlined for the
benefit of those ministers who had not
been closely concerned in the Irish
negotiations the history of recent
events and the premier's new offer to
Ireland, which is described as being
drawn on generous lines.
1t is understood that the financial
arrangements in the offer have given
considerable trouble to the ministers,
but eventually after consultation with
Sir Robert Stevenson Horne, chan
cellor of the exchequer, and the treas
ury officials, the various provisions
We're agreed to. 1t is also understood
that the general lines of the premier's
offer have the approval of Austen
Chamberlain, the government leader
in the house of commons; Sir Robert
Horne, Sir Laming worthington Evans,
secretary for war. and other ministers,
and that probably, with some modifi-
cations, the entire cabinet will assent
to the proposals, which will be re-
duced to writing for presentation to
Mr.. DeValera.
Whether Mr.. Lloyd George has sue
ceeded in overcoming the reluctance
of Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier,
to join in triparite conference is not
known, but an announcement that Sir
James Craig is coming to London
again, probably next week is consid-
cred a favorable omen, and in any
case no hint of a BREAKDOWN in the
negotiations is apparent. These, how
ever, may be more protracted than
has been generally expected
General Jan Christian Smuts, prem
Ter of South Africa, is holding himself
in readiness to go to Ireland again If

the struggle which evidently preceded
their murder.

bodies were found, the underbrush
was bloodstaiEed and trampled down,
showing that the two had made a hard
fight for their lives. Several knife
wounds were found on the woman's
body. Nearby were found two rifled
pocketbooks, some letters which mad

ceipt for a postoffice money order is

still unidentified, will be buried where
they were found.
The spot where the two were found
is some distance from a road and IS
rarely visited by anyone but hunters.

In cases where special effort has been
made to grow yields. production has
been forced up to- 1900 bshels per
acre. These figures indicate that more
attention might be paid to the matter
of yield.
Marketing All Important
Apparently the greatest need of the
Northwest is better facilities for mar
keting and keeping in touch with pro-
auction facts OF the United States.
This question is receiving considera-
uon, n associations are being form
ed IN many sections. The present
year owing to the fact that the po-
tafo crop throughout the United
states Is above normal, prices are UNI
usually low. In fact, the average only
onehalt what they did in 1918. The
average condition of potatoes in the
United States, in September of 1920,
was s4-6 per cent while the t~en-year
innate for the crop of 1920 was 49,
$4,000 bushels. This does not account
Tor al! the difference in price, but
there has undoubtedly been a greatly
decreased demand for potatoes for ex-
port the present year and the gen
erai slump in prices together with the
unemployment is partly responsible.
Organization of potato growers in
a cooperative way would accomplish
the same results as have been accom-
Pushed in the growing OF fruits and
vegetables.
Ihere is no question as to obtain
Ing satisfactory yields of potatoes
throughout this entire region. There
is absolutely no question as to the
quality OF them and there should not
