FARM CREDITS IS KEYNOTE
Administration Forces Hope to
0utbid Radicals for Ap-
proyaI Of the Country
BY j. BART CAMPBELL,
ational News Service.


The Republican. "Old Guard"
moved last night to lay before
the country a constructive legis-
lative program at the same time
tho insurgent members Of Con-
sress, headed by Senator La
Toilette, meet here early next
month to work out q course OF
progressive legislative action.
Following q conference of "Old
Guard" Senate leaders, including
, Lodge Of Massachusetts,. Curtis of
Kansas, Smoot Of Utah. and Wat
son Of Indiana, with President Hard.
ing at the White House. 1t was
agreed the Administration forces
should unite on a program with
agricultural credits as its keynote
and otherwise be made to appeal
especially to farmers.
URGES RATE CUTS.
Agricultural credits and the un-
Interrupted transportation Of farm
products were also discussed by
President Harding and Senator
Cummins Of Iowa, chairman of the
Senate Interstate Commerce Com.
mittee, who was a dinner guest at
the White House.
Cummins also gave the President
his views on freight rates, and Is
understood to have stated that
transportation charges would have
to come down II the agricultural
industry is to be placed on its
feet. Mr.. Harding is expected to
stress the subjects in his forth.
coming message to the last regular
session Of Congress next month.
TALK ANTI-STRIKE LAW.
In endeavoring to secure unin.
terrupted rail traffic, 1t was re-
nably reported that legislation of
anti-strike character will be pushed
In Congress.
1t was the belief Of Administra-
ton Senators that the radical
maneuvers of Senator La Toilette
and his associates could be offset
by the Republican Old Guard going
to the country with a legislative
program offering definite assurances
that President Harding meant what
he said when he promised early re-
lief from agricultural distress in
his last message to Congress.
INSURGENTS ISSUE CALL.
simultaneously with an announce.
ment by Administration leaders that
Republican "Old Guard" captains in
Congress would hold a conference
with President Harding next week
to map out legislative program for
the regular session, a statement was
issued by La Toilette and his asso-
ciates that nine Senators and
twenty-three Representatives have
accepted invitations to attend a
legislative conference on December
j arranged by them.
A report was current that neither
Senator Borah of Idaho or johnson
OF California were among the nine
Senators referred to. None of the
nine were named In La Follettes
statement.
It was stated that letters have
been received from influential pro.
4ressive men and women from many
States expressing approval Of the
aims OF the twin conferences, the
first Of which, on December 1, will
be confined to present and newly
elected progressive members of Con.
gress. and the second will be par
ticipated in by leading progressives
both In and out Of Congress.

mango Is q fruit varying In size from
q small pear to a large cOcOnut. The
thick skin protects the flavor, and ex-
cept for the stone, the entire fruit Is
used In many ways. II Is eaten raw,
or rather sucked, cut In slices, made In
to jam, pickles and mango cakes, and
is used as q flavor for both sour and

Mango ice cream is q very delicious
food. but, perhaps, Of all the trees

Even the German nationalists have
now ceased their stupid propaganda and
are telling the German people to make
every effort to understand the outside
world. This was indicated In an address
by Prof. Wilhelm Schoelermann. a
prominent editor and translator of the
works of Emerson and Wait Whitman.
''The American anti-Gernau feeling Is
the result OF German fooiishness," he
said. Germany was her own worst
enemy. We are deceiving ourselves into
thinking we have monopoly on fine
feelings and ilealism. Nowhere is public
opinion more ready to side with right in
suppressing evil than in The United
States.
The infammable blood of the Ameri-
can Southerners and Irish was aroused
to Indignation against German mill
tarism. Had we estimated Americas en-
ergy correctly instead OF foolshly under
rating it we would not childishly have
provoked Americas hostility.
''Tlle Americans do not let their ooun-
try be dragged In the dirt and they do
not abuse 1t, as many Germans do theirs.
The Declaration of Independence was q
sober. splendid document, giving the
highest expression of the rights of man."
The professor expressed his admira-
tion for typical Americans like Washing
ton, Lincoln, jackson Emerson and
Whitman. 1t is significant that the

ist newspaper, published the address.

The United States is leading France
and most other European countries In
the practice of commercial aviation, II
Is shown in reports to the Commerce
Department. despite popular belief to
the contrary throughout America.
More than 1.713,OoO miles were flown
in the United States in 1921 by air mail
planes, which rank as commercial planes
Mail carried totaled 1,166.o00 pounds.
The record for France, just received by
the Commerce Department is as fol-
lows: Miles flown. slightly more than
100000; mail carried, Il 1000 pounds.
In mileage the American planes lead
France by nearly IS per cent. In th=
mail record American planes carried
nfty-five times as much weight.
1t is customary for aviation enthus-
lasts to bcrate the development of COM
mercial aviation in the United States in
comparison with the use of planes for
business and pleasure purposes In
France, England. Germany and other
places in Europe.
Airplanes are running regularly l,e-
tween Paris, London and other Con-
tinental points, it Is cmphasi1 i1ed. making
trips daily on schedule like railroad
trains. Much is made Of the fact that
large number of passengers are trans-
ported as well as baggage. Flying from
London to Paris for lunch and an after
noon In the shops is i,'aid to be an every
day occurrence i'm Europe. Wide pub
iicity Is given to the nl-nerous air trips
taken by Premier Lloyd George and
other Government officials.
American flying men, calling attention
to these reports, lament that the flying
ma chine. although invented and devel-
oped in this country. is not being de-
veloped for practical purposes.
The development OF practical flying
is taking place in the United States at a
greater rate than elsewhere. The carry
ing Of mail is distinctly n commercial
pra ctice, and one for which the airplane
Is moro properly fitted at present than
for the carrying of passengers. In the
matter of expense this is particularly
true.

Much is made of tine French success
in carrying passengers on schedule and
with but few accidents. IL the same de-
gree of passenger carrying were devel-
oped in the United States as exists IN
France the total number of passengers
carried would be only about $4,000. The
number of persons who travel by rail

passenger carrying airplanes in this

as has been attained in France would
