ers monopoly Of supplying the best
meat.
Warren emphasized the need Of
accurate information for American
farmers in regard to European pro-
duction and demand.
"For years" he said. conditions
in Europe will be subject to errat-
ic changes, both in supply and de-
mand. We need to know all the
currents of European movements as
far in advance--as possible"
Warren asserted that because de-
flation did not begin in Europe last
year prices there were still much
above the pre-war level and had
stimulated production 10 meet the
demand.
Eugene Meyer, director Of the

ket did more than anything else 10
bring on the break in other mar

key product. Meyer praised the CO
operative farmers associations and
advocated sufficient warehouse IA
cilities and financial means to en-
able the producers to market their
products in an ORDERLY manner.
The work Of the War Finance
Corporation was described by Met
er who said that the advances it
made had been Of material assist
ance to agriculture. Speaking of
the results Of advances to finance
cotton, Meyer said that although
the shock Of the experiences OF the

PRESIDENT NOT.
READY TO CUT
AMERICAN ARMY

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. ga
Although President Harding believes
that the work of the Washington
conference eventually will lead to
the reduction of both naval and land
armament, he is not prepared TO re-
commend any radical reduction in
the land forces of the United States
at present.
Virtual settlement of the Siberian
question, insofar as the arms con-
ference is concerned, is understood
to have been reached today by the
Far Eastern committee, with the ac-
ceptance of the Japanese statement
primising complete withdrawal from
Russian territory upon the establish
ment Of a stable government there.
In adopting this attitude, Harding
is said to recognize that the world
is still in a state of unrest, having
fallen far short Of complete recov-
cry from the war.
