.BORAH PRAISES CONFERENCE
TREATY is APPROVED BY THE
SENATE "a TO ONE AFTER A
SHORT DEBATE.
Author OF the Resolution Says Ihat
More Drastic Reduction Must
Yet Be Made.

Washineton.-The Arms Conference
naval treaty. limiting the navies OF
all the great sea powers, was ratihed
by the senate, The senate's approval
Of the pact was voted without reserva-
lions or amendments and with repuD-
ican and democratic regulars and
''irreconciables' generally standing
together in its support.
The ratification vote was "a to l,
Senator France, republican, Maryland,
casting the only negative vote
OF the "a alternatives. As were re-
publicsns and SO democrats An
nouncements were made that oil alb
sent and paired senators favored rau-
! fication
Senator Bo-ah republican, Idaho,
author OF the congressional resolution
requesting the calling OF an arms con-
ference, supported the naval Limitation
treaty in a speech. but declared the
pact must be regarded AS the begin
ming and only the beginning OF the
work Of disarmament
Mr.. Borah praised the conference
for what It had done and at the same
time asserted that it had accomplish
ed nothing toward limiting modern
weapons OF warfare and had made but
an almost insignificant" reduction In
the armament budgets OF the powers.
81 have no doubt" said the Idaho
senator. that this treaty represents
all that II was possible to secure at
this conference. Nevertheless | should
regard the treaty as a disaster rather
/ than a benefit II 1t came to be re-
garded as all there is to do, even
in the next ten years, in the matter
of disarmament. 1t is fitting that we
congratulate ourselves on what has
been done. but II is exceedingly i'm
portant that we utilize the occasion
Il for consideration Of what there is yet
to be done.
Really, while It is beginning and
perhaps will mark an era in progress
and civilization, the treaty accom-
plishes very little compared to what
we yet must accomplish in order to
get the benefit OF this first step. There
has been a great deal OF discussion
about who was the author Of the dis
armament conference. The real au-
thor was public opinion, and without
the sustaining power OF public opinion
this treaty will accomplish little In
the way OF bringing the world toward
disarmament. Unless we 60 forward
moulding public opinion to secure real
disarmament, we shall not in the end
accomplish much.
Suppose we were to be content
Suppose we we're to sterilize the In
terest and enthusiasm aroused in ia
vor of disarmament and should rest
upon what has been done. We should
then have to face the fact that no such
naval ornaments have been known
in the world as will exist after the
treaty is ratified,
THE conference was wholly unable
to deal with the submarine or wit!
any other instrument Of modern war
fare except airplane carriers.
We are simply beginning the grea
struggle Of disarmament

FRATED
nuuP1S RESOLUTION
OF LLOYD GEORGE.
GOVERNMENTS POLICY ON ECO
NoMIc CONFERENCE AT
GENOA APPROVED.
BY SUBSTANTIAL MAJORITY
clynes Amendment Would Have Ap
proved Genoa Conference But
Not Premieps Policy.

London The house OF commons
after an unexciting debate adopted by
the substantial majority of 27S Pre-
mler Lloyd Georges resolution calling
for confidence in the government
policy on the coming economic con
ference at Genoa. The vote was 372
to a. "a
Prior to this the hopa by vote
of 379 to 81, rejected amendment
proposed by John Rob4t Clynes, Ia
borite. which, while approving an in
ternational economic and financial
conference, declared that the govern
ment was not competent to represent
the country at such a conference and
did not have the confidence of the
country.
The result is regarded as exceed
ingly satisfactory for the prime min
lister. as the combined labortes and
independent liberals number about
100 and the die hards" about 90, all
of whom might have been expected to
oppose the premier's resolution.
The prime minister's speech invit'
ing uarliament to vote confidence in
the governments Genoa policy was
noteworthy inasmuch as 1t touched
only lightly upon the political crisis at
home and because it endorsed the
French policy toward Russia, although
Mr.. LLOYD George himself displayed
much sympathy for an entirely con
ciliary attitude toward Russia, ano
further, in that it sought accommo
dation with the soviet government
lest by waiting 1t might eventually be
necessary to deal with still more
irreconciable or militaristic regime
which might embroil the whole of Eu
rope.
While emphasizing that nothing
could be gained by waiting for the
overthrow Of the soviet administra
ton, the prime minister accepted the
French standpoint. demanding guar
antees with respect to Russia's debt
and obligations and stipulating pc
roid of probation of six months year
but less II Russia give the necessary
guarantees, before full recognition
was accorded. The premier indicated
his belief In the incincerity OF the con
version of Nikolai Lenine and the so
Wet to diluted form of commun
ism.
Perhaps the most interesting OF Mr.
Lloyd Georges proposals was that
exchanges should be stabilized al
some maintainable figure but no de
tails were given as to how he pro
posed to effect this, except that II
might be attained by some sort OF in
ternational cooperation and pressure

70 INSPECT MOORE PEACHES
Label Of Quality to be Attached 70
All Crates That Come up to
Certain Standard.


Southern Pines. The Sandhlli
Fruit Growers association mas lot
mulated plans for the handling ana
marketing of the 1922 peach crop that
will unouestionably be of lasting ben
eft to the peach growers OF TINS sec
ton. The officers of the associalioh
have made an exhaustive study Vi
conditions in Georgia and VIII proh'
by the mistakes made there 10 tne
advantage of this section. The most
important step that the association
has taken is the decision to estaoiish
a rigid inspection of the output Oh
every members orchard and the use
of an association label on every case
reading. Inspected and guaranteed
by the Sandhill Fruit Growers Asso-
citation"
That means that only those crates
that come up to certain stahdaIu
will bear that label and the label Is
therefore a guarantee of quality ana
quality means the highest market
price. The next big step the asso-
citation has taken is the decision to 40
its own selling and in this way secure
the best market price for the crop. AL
the present time Captain Cowgirl IS
making a trip through Georgia and
Florida in a determined effort to se
cure competent and experienced
salesman to look after the sales de'
partment of the association. BY the
first of April detailed campaign tor
selling will be worked out and ready
for execution. The present outlook
is for large crop.
The bloom on The trees Is unusually
prolific and the majority Of the orch
ards have received the proper care
and attention since last September
The trees are putting out blossoms
two weeks later than last season
which lessons the danger of frost
considerably and the present indica'
ton Is that labor will be plentiful; so
that everything points to a large
peach crop and the proper facllities
to pick and market the crop. The
very work that has been done during
the past few months by the Sandhill
Fruit Growers association shows the
actual need OF an association OF this
character and the advantage to be
gained by every orchard man In be-
coming a member Of the association
