 Reports from these counties have been received at the office of the Alabama Farm Bureau federation. This organization had it's introdue- ton into Alabama about one year ago. but in the meantime,sit has dem onstrated it's usefulness in great many fields of service, and according to information reaching Montgomery i it is only a matter of few weeks until the number of organized eoun- ties will increase from 37 to about 50, following which work on a larger scale will be undertaken.

 Concerning naval armsmcnts,f RI. Briand silently let pass the moment when France could properly have in sisted upon recognition of her inn mense maritime and colonial inter. ests. This moment was tho opening session when Secretary Hughes am nounced the 5-5-3 formula for Great Britain, tho United States and Japan. Another big hiunder was committed when in the absence of the French plenipotentiaries our naval experts put in their absurd claim for 3500 tons of capital ships Finally. con corning land armaments. Briapd breathed scarcely word of Frances need of keeping the means of ac- ton against manifestly recalci- trant debtor.
 Dealing With Press Furthermore, cannot ignore our delegates astonishing negligence of the American press and tho absence from the Delegation of any man knowing American news methods and American psychology. The final re- suit was what 1t had to be. When the conference ended the majority American opinion was thoroughly convinced that France had become a nation impossible to treat with or even to talk to.
 Following this, NJ. Briand having meantime collapsed on account of his unpardonable faults at Cannes, the debate opened between Poincare and Lloyd George concerning Genoa, This served as an occasion for part of the press of Great Britain roundly to denounce Frances intransgeance This denunciation deeply impressed many Americans. though hardly justly for as the United States had decided to abstain it could scarcely blame France, who agreed to go, for asking certain preliminary precau- tions.
 Poincare.s note on the subject of Genoa was very generally regarded as fair, yet. how many people con tinued crying that France was put ting spikes in the wheels and was 1 lacking in entente spirit.
 Not Bad As Picture The Boulogpe interview came just 1 in time to show that things were not so bad as they had been pictured and that the French arguments had a cogency which even Lloyd George recognized. Of course, I do not claim that the two premiers in a few hours could settle. or even thoroughly eX- anime, the manifold problems, both political and economic on which the views and interests Of the two na- tions differ. Nevertheless, the Franco British conflict so noisily proclaimed by the newspapers of all accounts-not excepting the French socialist organs-seems disstpated, If 1t ever, indeed, existed

Mellon and will continue to do so in the future.
 Mir. Harding has also endeavored strenuously to bring about greater government economy and department tai reforms, but it has been d hard fight and he has not yet conquered the system" which has controlled the Washington governmental agen- cies so long. MT. Harding particular ly wanted a consolidation of the army and navy departments and the crea tion of department of public welfare. These battles remain to be won.
 The President feels much has been achieved by the administration in looking after the affairs of disabled soldiers. The bonus for all the sol diers has not been so dsftly handled and still threatens to plague the par ty sorely before it is laid to rest.
 President Harding promised in his campaign that he would see that fed eral agencies were used to stamp out lynching in the south. The House of Representatives already has passed the anti-lynching bill, but trouble is expected for the measure in the Sen ate, where the constitutional law yers are likely to pick it literally to pieces.
 The President promised also that he would do what be could to give the American flag place in com merce on the seven seas. Almost one of the last acts of his first year in office was to read d ship subsidy message to Congress. This measure also promises to meet with much op- position. The President is discover ing that a recommendation to Con gross is one thing, and getting the Legislation through is quite some thing else again.
 The President promised early peace with Germany. This has been accom- plished by separate treaty, which brought no great protest from our former associates in the war. At the end of the year we are prepar- ing to exchange ambassadors with the recent enemy country
 Association of Nations
 The President promised a foreign policy which would involve an asso- citation of nations. He feels he has gone far in the direction of fulfil ment of this promise in the accom- plishments of the Washington con ference. The President believes in association with the nations of the world, but not in an association en- cumbered. as he says, by machinery and sanctions.
 To many fair-minded observers the Harding administration in it's first year has been made notable by the disposition of President Harding to give to each cabinet officer complete autonomy his own department. The president let Secretary Hughes domi- mate the arms barley completely, with the result that Mir. Hughes has been acclaimed around the entire world The President let Will Hays have a free hand in the exploitation of the post office department, and so well did the young postmaster general employ his time that at the end of 12 months he steps out of the govern ment into one of the highest positions ever created in this country--said to be twice the salary received by the President.
 In conclusion it may be said that MT. Harding has put in as President the hardest year of work he has ever experienced. During the last six months he has been particularly tied down. But he hopes for short va ca ton soon.
