Crops to Be Diversified
BY PAUL GREER,
staff Correspondent, Omaha Bee.

Lincoln, Jan. s.-There are some
who have feared the farmer in poll
tics. There are some who have
feared him and his cooperative en-
terprises. But in neither OF these
ways was he half so much to be
feared as in his present role Of en-
forced sclf-sufiiciency.
Even though successful in politics,
constitutional limitations would safe
guard the public from any great ag-
grcssion, such as some business in
terests have feared. The local CO.
operative institutions, to the extent
that they reduced handling charges.
actually conserved the wealth OF
rural communities. The only men,
ace to business in general is the in
voluntary withdrawal of the farmer
as a purchaser.
Wants to Buy.
The farmer wants to buy. He and
his wife and children, without ex-
travagance, need all the goods whose
manufacture and, sale would bring
about business as usual. The whole
family could use new and better
clothing. Building materials for
farm Improvements and new ma
chinery for use in the fields are other
wants. One of the best attended
meetings at the sessions of organ
ized agriculture being held at the
agriculture college is that Of the farm
women. Their discussions are all OF
the ordinary comforts which are COM
mon in the cities. Home Lighting
systems, washing machines, phono-
graphs, sanitary devices, and all the
various labor-saving and health
promoting appliances-these are their
desire.
The farmer isn't buying. He can't.
He has come to believe that he
bought too much when times were
flush. Until the prices Of his prod
uce are adjusted on parity witt,
the prices Of other goods, he will be
unable to come back into the con-
suming market. This deprives man
ufacturers and retailers OF great
part of the business which they ought
to be getting from a class which
constitutes 40 per cent OF the popu-
lation.
Dlstrihution Ri4Prohlem.
1t is this that causes unenpfoy-
nlent in the cities. How this in turn
reacts upon agriculture was indicated
in All address by Dean E. A. Bur-
nett of the agricultural college. The
farmers main problem is one of dis

The adjournment was to give the

China Delegates
Win Victory at
Arms Conference
Request for Removal of Tariff
Restrictions and Withdrawal
of Foreign Troops
Granted in Part.

Washington. Jan. 5.-The powers
acceded in part today, to China's re-
quest that foreign restrictions on its
tariff system be removed and that
steps be taken toward Withdrawing
foreign troops from Chinese soil.
Under an agreement adopted IN
the far eastern committee of the
arms conference, an increase estimat-
ed at $46,000,000 in Chinese customs
receipts is to be granted Immediately
through modification Of existing
treaties, and machinery is to be set in
motion for further increases wheu
they are warranted by reforms III
Chinese tariff administration.
By another resolution adopted, for
eign ambassadors at Peking will COLI
fer with Chinese officials, whenever
China so requests, relative to execu-
ton of the declared purpose of the
powers to withdraw troops in each
case where conditions make it prac-
ticable.
Regarding the troop declaration,
the Chinese delegates did not express
themselves at length, but they voiced
/ disappointment that the tariff settle
inent had not fixed a definite date on
which foreign supervision of the
Chinese customs would be withdrawn
altogether.
Meeting Confined to Tariff.
The meetings of the committee, the
first since December IA. was devoted
to consideration of the tariff and
foreign troop proposals, the Chinese
finding no opportunity to press their
request that the "21 demands" con-
troversy be brought into the confer
ence for review.
As supplement to the tariff res
olution, the special subcommittee,
headed by Senator Underwood, rec
commended adoption of a declara-
ton advising China to take "imme-
diate and effective steps to reduce
its military forces. Maintenance Of
excessive" land armament, the sub
committee held, had seriously i'm
paired Chinese domestic economy
and had become a difficult barrier
to the nations restoration to finan-
cial stability. The suggestion was re-
ferred to draft committee for re-
vision, but indication tonight seemed
to point to its later adoption.
Benefit to China.
In presenting the tariff revision
plan. under which China Immediately
would have an effective" per cent
tariff rate instead of the virtual 3 II
per cent in force, Senator Under
wood declared that the new arrange
ment not only would greatly benefit
China, but would beEa long step
toward promotion of general trade
and international peace in the far
east.
DR.. Koo, replying for the Chinese,
conceded that the agreement was
valuable but added that China
could only regard any continuation
of the present foreign control of tar
iff as IAN infringement of its SOW
ereignty.' He argued also that main
tenance Of the foreign tariff control
system meant continued handicap
to the opening of China to foreign
trade, contributed to low social and
political morale among the Chinese
and worked many injustices through
placing the interests of the several
powers above those of the Chinese
republic. 1t was added that in acced-
ing to the present plan, China espe-
cially reserved the right to continue
its effort for complete tariff auto
nomy.
