FOUR POWER PACT
CLEARS MATTERS
IN THE Pacific
ICATALOCUED
This Agreement VIII Be View
ed by the Senate in the
Light of Other Agreements
on the Far East That VIII
Be Reached by That Time,
One Concerns China.
(By David Lawrence
Copyright, 1921, by The Daily

tCopyrlSnt, 1871, Dy Ihe DAILY
Times)
Washington, Dec. 12.-AIl the vari
Gus meanings, implications and bene-
fits of the new four-power treaty be-
tween the United States, Japan,
Great Rritain and France, have now
been assembled by the experts, inter-
national lawyers and diplomats and
can be catalogued somewhat as fol-
lows:
First, the new treaty gets rid of the
An:slo-Japanese alliance. The bene-
fit directly is to the United States on
this point as the alliance was con-
sidered a menace to America.
Second. it saves the face of Japan
which was in the awkward position
of having her great ally, the British
empire, withdraw from an alliance.
The benefit here is to both Great Brit
ain and Japan in moral values and
a continuance of friendship.
Third, it guarantees the Philippines
against aggression by any power and
enables the United States tn rely up
on the moral support, if not physical
help, of any of the other three powers
in the event Of aggression against the
Philippines. This is of direct value to
the United States as it makes the
fortification of the Philippines no
longer as important as has hereto
fore been thought necessary.
! Fourth, it assures Australia, New
Zealand and Canada of a new deal.
Instead of having to wrestle with the
! -}intricacies of an. alliance in which
lone nation of the white race is pitted
against one nation of the yellow race,
the new pact introduces three ma
-tions of. the white race thus making
Australia feel confident Of sympathy
in the event of dispute arising out OF
Immigration matters This is of direct
+benefit to, the British 'dominiohs in
the Pacific and of course to the gov
ernment of Great Britain, for it helps
preserve the solidarity of the British
I empire.
Fifth, the new treaty does not
include China directly and applies nc
restraint upon Japanese pretensions
on the mainland ofsAsia, referring on
ly to Pacific islands. Thus far, this is
of benefit to Japan as she does not
contemplate quaEgels with the power:
about islands in the Pacific but want:
a more or less free hand in China
There will be another agreemen
about China but so far as the four
power treaty is concerned, it does no
hinder Japan on. the mainland %
> Asia. =
Sixth; the new treaty binds fou
tgreat powers together in new treat!
of peace which concerns directly onl!
the islands of the Pacific but whicl
has a value in creating moral part
) nership between all the four coun
tries.

COTTON FORECAST
SHOWS INCREASE
Fnal Report Shows a Forecast
of $4,000 Bales.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Lack of
travel funds prevented personal
checking of acreage planted and fore
ed acceptance of growers reports OF
acreage reductions which were biased
by propaganda and generally believ-
ed" the crop reporting board Of the
department of agriculture declared in
final forecast for this yeats cotton
crop of 8,34O,O00 bales, an increase
of 100000 bales over the last fore
east.
Favorable weather conditions since
the last condition report on Septem-
ber 25, permitted maturing or late
cotton, the board said, while reduc-
tion of fertilizer reported earlier in
the season was Offset by residue re-
naming in the ground from last
year Boil weevi1 and other insect
damage, the statement said, was not
as great as expected, the hot dry
weather of the early fall fastened the
maturity of the crop and prevented

would have resulted.
Data on which the acreage in cul-
tivation was estimated on June 25,
was correct, the statement declared,
when checked against data submitted
by the growers at the time but it
now appears that the data UPON
which the estimate was based was
misleading, the acreage was under
estimated
Reports from the statisticians of
the department, who were able to
travel after July, 1, indicated that re-
ports of acreage reductions on June

acreage" the statement said, adding
that while many growers actually
reduced their acreage, others took
advantage of the propaganda senti-
ment and proceeded to increase their
own acreage"
''This is still the smallest cror
grown in the United States since
1885," the statement asserted.
The average weight per running
bale ia estimated at 497.S pounds
The price paid producers December l
was 1872 cents per pound.

Weather and Crop Conditions

The following is synopsis Of
weather and crop conditions for the
week ending October 18, compiled
by the state meteorologist:
The week was practically rainless
except for light showers along the
coast on the 18th and 18th. Temp
eratuers were we'll below normal
during the early part of the week,
and light frosts extended as far
south as the central counties on the
14th. Some damage to vegetables in
exposed places in northern districts
was reported. Cotton picking is
practically finished, except in north
western districts, where the hate
crop is exceeding expectations. The
corn harvest is well under way,
with generally poor yields from the
late crop. Preparation of the soil for
sowing wheat and oats has been
much retarded, by drought, and in
some portions Of the central coun-
ties plowing has been practically
suspended. The condition Of sweet
potatoes is fair to good in northern
sections, but very poor elsewhere,
because of continued dry weather.
Cabbage and lettuce are being set
out in the trucking districts along
the coast. "

WOMAN. YOUNG
SON TO ANOTHER WOMAN

Tampa, Fla, Oct; 15.-A warranty
deed formally transferring ownership
of a small boy from one woman to
another has been placed on record
here. According to the deed, the
transaction took place last January
in Hardin county, Texas, when Mrs.
Nettie Davis decided her three months
old son to Mrs. Norma L. Wilson.
Mrs. Wilson recently moved to Tam
pa and had the deed recorded to
prove her ownership.
Courthouse officials declared the
deed is illegal in that it is unfair to
the child and deprives him of the
rights of heritage as provided in pa
pers of adoption. In the event Of
death of Mrs. Wilson before the boy
is of age officials said he would pass
as a chattel and become part of the
estate, if the transaction was held
legal.
