APPEAL TO NATION
TO KEEP PREPARED
,ERSHING SAYS TO FACE COLD
FACTS AND NOT FORGET OUR
OBLIGATIONS IN BLIND HOPE
THAT THERE WILL BE NO
MORE ARMED CONFLICTS.

Minneapolis; Nov. 28.-An ap-
peal to the nation to "look cold
hard facts in the face and not for
get our obligations in blind hope
hat we may not again engage in
armed conflict" marked an address
delivered here today by General Per
shing under the auspices Of the Am
erican Defense Society.
"At present, we do not see de-
finite indications, but none Of US can
tell whether we shall have war in
five, ten or twenty years." General
Pershing said.
IF we knew now to q certainty
that armed conflict would come in
twenty years there would be an i'm
mediate demand for preparations,
Yet that is the approximate inter
val that we have had in the past
between major wars. There is no
reason to think that the immediate
future will bring about a cessation
of war, even though it was said that
we entered the world war to bring
about the end Of war;"
General Pershing devoted most of
his address to discussing the value of
military training as a school of good
citizenship, making reference to this
connection to the findings of the re-
cent educational conference in Wash
ington. The conclusions Of that con-
ference, he said were that the train
;ne given in the reserve elements of
the army and at civilian training
camps, constitute an effective ma
ch;nery through which much can be
done not only to benefit the individ-
"al from the standpoint of his physi-
que and self-dlsclpl:ne, but from the
standpoint of his relations to the
government that protects him and
which ne is under obligations to de-
fend."
The chief of staff stressed again
draft statistics that show fifty pei
cent of the young men called out
during the war to have been physi-
cally sub-normal, largely due to de.
fects durable by proper training; that
one-fourth of the persons examined
were unable to read and write our
common language and that more
than ten per cent cannot even sue
cessfully speak English"

FEDERAL BOARD
BACKS SEN. U|AL
'iNDS THAT LAW ON COTTON
TENDERABLE UNDER CON-
TRACTS WORKS TO DISAD-
VANTAGE OF PRoDUcER-To
PRESS BILL

Washington, Nov. 28.-An import
mt point has been gained by Sena-
sor Dial in his campaign for amend
|ment of the cotton futures law.
The South Carolina senator sue
;eeded last March in having direc-
ions given to the federal trade COM
mission to make expert investigation
of his contention, that the present
contract law operates to the disad-
vantage of mills and growers.
The commission has been at work
On the inquiry nearly seven months
and has now prepared a report, hold
ing, it is understood, that the act
"g;ves the exchanges an unfair ad-
vantage over purchasers, allows the
Exchanges to manipulate the market
and thus deleteriously affects the
cotton grower himself.
Senator Dial will press his bill vig-
orously.
In his effort to restrict the range
of grades which may be rendered in
settlement of future contracts at
heir maturity, Senator Dial first in
tends to press for adoption of his
amendment, on which the committee
k,n forestry and agriculture has re-
turned an unfavorable report, with
hopes of getting favorable consider
alton on the floor Of the senate
This amendment would create
three classes of the present ten ten
derable grades, the four highest in
me. class and three grades in each
of the other two; sales to be made on
he basis Of one grade in a specific
'lass, and settlements to be made by
delivery within that class; one-tnird
'of the grade specified being compul-
Iory and the other two-thirds from
he contingent grades. This would
mean that quotations would have to
;'e made on three basic grades in
stead of on middling, the basic grade
on which all prices now are founded.
If he should fail in this effort,
Senator Dial says that he will ask
hat Section Of the present law,
rerm;tting the seller to make deliv-
nv n any one of the tenderaDle
trades, be eliminated entirely and
without substitute, which would
have the effect Of forcing all sales
m the basis Of Section 10, which
provides that a specific grade be
mentioned in the contract, and that
delivery must be in that identical
grade.
S'nce enactment of the present
'otton contract law in 1914, Senator
0ial states that not a single sale has
''een made on the New York Cotton
xchange under Section 10, but that
| Ill sales have been under Section B,

The treasury secretary was un-
derstood to believe that complete"

it would take much more money
