PRESIDENT ENDORSES THE

Observation-Disclosures Harding has

appeal being made by Maj. Gen. Leon
ard Wood on behalf of the Near East

flee Offering to save the starving
Christians Of the Near East
The Presidents letter reads:
"There ought to be no cessation or
relaxation of our sympathetic Ameri-
can efforts to be of service to these
stricken people. One can well believe
that they will not survive if we with
draw the relief which has heretofore
heen so generous from the private
American purse. 1t has seemed to me
that all we have done has borne divi-
tlends tenfold in the consciousness that
we have done an humane thing for

dependence without further delay.
Congressman King is one Of an In
creasing number Of Republicans in the
House who are urging quick action
on Philippine independence. Mr..
King is the author Of bill which pro-
vides that within one year the Philip
pine government under presidential
proclamation, may assemble conven-
ton and frame a constitution.
After the constitution is ratified by
the Filipino people the President may
recognize the Philippine islands as "a
separate and self-governing nation"
The transfer Of authority is to be
completed within one year. Provision
is made for safeguarding American in
vestments in the Philippines and for
the providing of coaling stations and
submarine bases In the islands by the
United States.
Word from the Philippines is that
the people expect early independence
and will be sorely disappointed II they
do not get it.
mo nation has the right" said Con-
gresham King Ito hold another people
in peonage. even though it may be
argued by the professoriate that the
condition is simply one Of 'tutelage.'
"a little more observance of the
golden rule in national and interna-
tional affairs would soon dispel that
desire for exploitation, the fiercest foe
of freedom in the world today.
when we went to the Philippines
we declared before the whole world
that we were not actuated by any self
ish desire of conquest or territorial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but solely by humani-
tartan impulses"
Congressman King called attention
to the fact that Filipinos are now
raising funds to erect monument to
Admiral Dewey, which he said was In
directly tribute to the American peo-
pie as well as to Dewey. He recalled
the cable that Dewey had sent to
President Mckinley, which was as
follows:
I'm my opinion these people (Fili-
pinos) are superior in intelligence and
more capable of self government than
the natives of Cuba, and am familiar
with BOTH"
Congressman King then recited the
preamble to the Jones law, passed
August 20. 1919, and declared 1t was a
definite pledge Of independence. The
preamble stated ''it is as it has always
been the purpose Of the people of
the United States to withdraw their
sovereignty over the Philippine Islands
and to recognize their independence as
soon as stable government can be
established therein"
Congressman King stated there was
no question but that the Filipinos had
established the specified stable gov
eminent and, therefore. 1t is the
solemn duty Of the United States to
grant the promised independence.

'STAND-PATTERs AND PROGRESS
4 SIVES CLASH

The cost of bread, meat, coal and
other necessities Of life to every
American consumer may be directly
influenced by the outcome of a strug-
gle going on behind harmony screen
between the standpat and progress
sive wings of the Republican party
in the Senate.
1t is a clash of ideas and principles,
the issues in which are:
Cd Whether corporations dealing
in the necessaries of life shall be
classed as public service corporations,
and as such be subjected to such Fed
eral regulation.
I'D Whether the ideas of govern
ment championed by the progressives
or those Of the standpatters shall be
established as the policies of the new
Congress.
If the standpatters win-the wing
headed by Lodge, Smoot and Penrose,
there will be no change in the present
profteering. And that this wing will
win there is hardly room for doubt,
as the men composing it are the ones
responsible for Harding's nomination,
and likewise the men who prevented
a plank going in the Republican party
platform condemning the exploitation
of the public by extortion, practiced
in all lines of business. If this wing
wins, then there will be no packer
control bill, no regulation of the coal
business as provided in the Calder
bill, no curbing Of gambling as pro-
posed by Senator Capper (Kansas),
no replacing of the unconstitutional
statute against profteering, the pro-
gressives declared.
Standpat leaders take as their text
President Harding's campaign declar-
alton for "less government in bust
ness" They are for letting business
alone, they say, and are doing all they
can to keep the struggle with progress
sives quiet, hoping to win by
squelching the progressives into sub
mission.
The progressives, headed by Boran,
Johnson, and Kenyon, announce their
intention Of stirring up public senti-
ment ag aims "standpat ideas"
through the press. Many standpat
leaders have assumed an attitude of
hostility toward "pitiless publicity"
Another weapon Of the leaders in
securing harmony" is the disciplining
of progressives by Withholding pa
tronage and desirable committee as
signments.

Notice has been given holders of

promptly take these bonds to their
bank and exchange them for per-
manent bonds. This is important
because none Of these issues OF
bonds bear any further interest
coupons until they have beer ex-
changed for permanent bonds. The
interest on these issues of Liberty
bonds now depends upon attention
to this matter and neglect may ell

exact rize of the crop. but this year estimates run from 700,o00 to 1.0o0,- 900 bales of staple, 316 to l 1-c inches, with a very small proportion of the crop longer than 1 5-16 inches
 There is no need to call attention to Peruvian Metafiff1 and a few other growths, of which crops are very small. But I must get nearer to my subject A study of prices be- fore 1916 in the two crops more near ly affecting Pimas will be of interest just now. The average price of the average grade (about choice) of Sea Islands and Egyptians from 1879 to 1916, or throughout 37 years, was 21 cents. The average price for the average grade of both qualities from 1904 to 1914, or the 10 years previous to the war, was 221a cents. The highest average price before 1916 was 90 cents in 1906-07. and the highest price reached that year for the best grade was 36 cents. The lowest av- craze year was 1S9S-99, with it's price of Il cents, the year of our other war, but the reaction was not near as bad as after the last war. because the following year the average price was 15 cents. Since 1916 prices have ruled much higher and during this whole period the world has not been on a normal basis. The year 1916- 1917 prices averaged 451a cents; 1917- 1918, with the government as an ac- tive buyer for war purposes, prices averaged 73 cents; in 191S-1919 prices eased off to 50 cents average. Due to activity in the automobile trade and the miscalculation of the tire trade, last years prices started off at So cents and before the season ended had about doubled. The slump in business started just after the highest prices had been paid for cotton-the rest of the story you know.
 As to consumption of Sea Islands and Egyptians:
