PACT ABOUT READY FOR
PENS OF five POWERS
Conference Decides Against Any Attempt To Limit
Aerial Warfare At Present; Votes To Refer
Problem Continuing Commission

Washington, d. G.. Jan. 9.-(By The
Associated Press.) Only details of
technical phraseology remain to be
worked out before the treaty for Iimi-
tations of armament is ready for sig
nature by the plenipotentia-ies OF the
five great powers.
Passing today on its last question Of
policy the armament commission If
the Washington conference decided
against any present attempt to limit
or regulate aerial warfare ard voted to
refer the problem to a continuing COM
mission for future study.
Then each of the five delegat tions
meeting separately began an examina-
ton of the tentative treaty draft pre-
pared by the subcommittee of ex-
ports. The delegation heads are to
come together late tomorrow to COM
pare opinions and it is expected that
the complete text will be ready for
publication to the world at a plenarv
session of the conference Thursday or
Friday.
Questions of definition. particularly
with reference to the status of mer-
chant vessels in war time are under
stood to be chief concern of the dele
gates in their efforts to agree on a
wording acceptable to everyone.
With the armament end of the con-
ference approaching final disposition
the delegates are preparing to press
the Far Eastern discussions to an
carly conclusion.
The Shantung question still is in
deadlock but fresh hope OF settle
ment was aroused tonight when it be-
came apparent that the negotiations of
that subject were turning into new
channels.
Some delegates took so optimistic a
view of the outlook that they were pre-
dieting a plenary session for Saturday
or Monday to announce completion of
the Far Eastern treaty.
Arthur J. Balfour, head OF the Brit
ish. made definite plans to sail for
homo on Tuesday OF next week and his
colleagues declared 1t was entirely
likely that he would sign the Far East
ern agreement before his departure,
On the other hand, it became appar-
ent tonight that tho study OF the naval
treaty text by individual delegations
was promising to consume more time
than originally had been allotted for 1t
Late today 1t was decided to suspend
plans for tomorrow's committee meet
ing and to hold tho meeting Of headi
of delegations late tomorrow. Th'
merchant ship question. as treated ir
the subcommittee draft of the treaty
would be settled by limiting the arma
ment of merchantmen to six-inch guns
and by prohibiting tho conversion OF

FARMERS NEED
Low Rail RATE
SAYS WALLACE
Other Prices Must Drop
To Bring Normal Farm
~, Conditions I'LL.

Philadelphia. Penn. Jan. 3.-To bring
culture and thru 1t, in industry, rail-
road deficits must be met by reduc-
tions in operating costs rather than by
advances in rates" Secretary Wallace
Of the department of agriculture de-
elared IN an address tonight.
"Ag. ulture.' he said, urgently
needs the adjustment OF freight rates
on farm products to point at which
they bear about the Same ratio to the
price the farmer received for those
products as prevailed before the war"
1T would be better for all interests
he continued If during the reconstruc-
ton period a general price level about
So per cent above the pre- war normal
could be established and farm prices
brought up to this level rather than
that other prices be forced down to the
level OF agricultural products. But
this seems impossible at present, he
said. so "other prices must come down
Is agricultural prices come UP until
the normal relation is restored
An efficient agriculture" and "ef-
f1cisnt' transportation system, he de-
elAred, are Indispensable to the ma
tional welfare and dependent upon
one another.
1t would be unfair he continued ITO
say that the unprecedented depression
in which We find agriculture today is
due wholly to the very large increases
in freight rates imposed tho past few
years but 1t is fair to say that those
increased freight charges are large
factor in retarding agricultural recoy-
cry.
The trouble now is that whereas
the prices the farmer receives for his
crops are lower than before the war
the price he pays for the things he
needs are from - to IS per cent above
the prewar prices. Hcntn the purchas-
ing power of tho major farm crops is
probably lower than at any time in our
history. and this has very much to do
with the nationwide industrial and
buEiness depression. ....
