Letter Strengthens Fight Against Boruhs Economic ParJeg
Harding Letter
Against Farley

WHITE HOUSE. Washington.
December 81. 1929. ..
Ny Dear Senator Lodge:
Replying to your inquiry rela-
tive to the proposed amendment
to the pending naval bill au-
thorizing and requesting the Presi-
dent to call an economic con-
ference to deal with conditions
in the war.torn nations of Eu-
rope. I write to say that I know
of no prohibition against such
an expression on the part of
Congress, but l do.-frankly ques-
tion the desirability of such an
expression. l think it is un-
desirable because Of the false
Impressions which may be con-
veyed thereby to Europe, and
even more undesirable because
of the wrong impression 1t con-
veys to our own people.
ALIVE TO SITUATION.
On the face of things It is
equivalent to saying that the ex-
ecutive branch of the Govern.
ment, which is charged with the
conduct Of foreign relations, is
not fully alive to a world situa-
tion which is of deep concern
to the United States. As a mat.
ter OF fact, the European situa.
tion has been given most thorough
and thoughtful consideration for
many months. Without ques.
tionins the good faith of the
proposal l am very sure it would
have been more seemly, and that
the action of Congress could be
taken much more intelligently,
IL proper inquiry could have been
made at the State Department
relative to the situation. in which
we are trying to be helpful.
OF necessity, the communica-
tfons of the State Department
relative to delicate matters among
nations cannot be bulletined from
day to day. but the situation is
never withheld from members of
Congress who chose to inquire
for confidential information in a
spirit of cooperation. Such in
quiry would have revealed khe
futility of any conference call
until II Is understood that such
a conference would be welcomed
by the nations concerned, within
the limits of discussion which
the expressed will of Congress
compels this Government to i'm.
pose.
In ratifying the treaty of peace
with Germany the Senate made
reservation that the United
States should not be represented
ON the reparations commission
without consent of Congress, and
no such consent has been given.
Moreover, in creating the world
war debt-funding cimmission that
body was restricted to explicit
terms for rates of interest and
ultimate time OF payment. II
Congress really means to facilitate
the task of the Government in
dealing with the European sit
uation. the first practical step
would be to free the hands of the
commission. so that helpful ne
gotiations may be undertaken.
1t is quite generally accepted
that the adjustment of the ques-
tiOn of reparations must under
lie any economic rehabilitation of
Europe. and reparations cannot
he settled without the consent
of the governments concerned.
The United States cannot as
sumo to say to one nation what
it SHAH pay in reparations nor
to another nation what it shall
accept.

s DISTINCT QUESTION.

In discussions with foreign gov
ernments the previous admins
tratlOn have insisted that the
question of European debts to the
United States is distinct and apart
from the questions of reparations
but the European nations hold
contrary view and it is wholly
inconsistent to invite confer
ence for the consideration Of
questions In dealing with which
the Government is denied all au-
thority by act of Congress.
So far as the Limitation Of land
ornaments is concerned, there
seems to be at this time no
more promising prospects of ac-
complishment than when the CON
ference was held in Washington
a year ago. Here, again. ven.
ture 10 warn the Senate against

filled until the nations directly
concerned express their readi-
ness to cooperate to such an end
with respect to limitation of
auxiliary types of naval craft
which are not limited by the
present naval treaty. it is to he
said that such an agreement is
much to be desired, whenever
practicable, but we may reason

three were Barnsdan Corporation. Class

Tho Railroad Strike.

The weakness of the market for trans

conviction Of the financial community
that the shopmen's strike will prove TO
be an endurance test which will be as
costly to the carriers as similar dis

traffic. The Interstate Commerce Conn
missions order establishing priority In
the movement of essential commodities
met with no objection from railroad
executives and is considered by them TO
be an orderly. legal way Of meeting a
situation which from q. traffic point OF
view was bound to become unbalanced.
The emergency caused by current labor
troubles finds the motive power OF the
railroads in better condition than their
freight cars. On June ID the reserve

Zinc Metal Price Advances.

The long awaited price OF 9 cents a
pound for zinc was reached yesterday,
which means, according to the officials
of several zinc producing corporations.
that their mines, now closed down. can
resume operations on a profitable basis.
The monthly reports of the sales of zinc
metal for both domestic and export ac-
count have shown constant increases
and the stocks on hand have decreased
correspondingly, with the result that at
the end OF June stocks stood at little more
than O months supply based on May
and June consumption figures. 1t was
to be expected, therefore. that the price
of zinc. which stood at 5% cents a
pound for some time. would soon be
increased. In the st. Louis market yes.

juno Railroad Earnings.

Reports Of railroads for June which
have appeared so far make a somewhat
varied showing in comparison win
June. 1921. With the exception or the
hard coal carriers, which have been hard
hit by the coal strike, the Eastern rail-
roads generally are expected to report
better earnings than those of the West
ern territory. whose increase In tonnage
other than coal has been somewhat OFF,
set by freight rate reductions erected
early In the year. The aggregate net
earnings for June. however. VIII be
materially higher than the net operating
income for May. 1922, and June. 1921.
Although it Is impossible accurately to
calculate the probable total net from
the few reports which have been pub
lished 1t is believed that the net oper-
ating income Of the entire 201 Class
carriers will be In the neighborhood OF
$4,000, 900. compared with s51,641 900
in June, 1921. and s61,soo.o00 In May,
1922. This would be approximately
s2s 900, 900 short of June's proportion

alent to s11.bo a share on the outstand-

made in the street during the last couple
Of months Of about SIC q share. The
official figures Of the quarter are not ex-
pected to be made public until the reg
ular quarterly directors meeting In

going figures from unofficial sources are
understood to be correct These earn
ings for the second quarter make the net
for the first half OF the year just slightly
in excess OF s1s share, which is
smaller than was generally estimated.
II Is considered probable that the direc-
tors at their meeting Monday will de-
clare either an extra dividend or will In
crease the regular rate on the common
stock. It has been intimated that both
these steps might be taken.

If you are busy getting ready for
Christmas as am, and seem to have
run completely out of Christmas
ideas, l am sorry for you.

went topsy.turvy and now none of

One suggestion, however. came to
me that was very helpful. We have
little girl friend about five years
old. The mother of another little
girl about that age told me her
young daughter received on her fifth
birthday a work basket. 1t contain.
ed pair of blunt point scissors, a
package of needles, short ones with
big eyes, several small spools OF
| thread, a regular tape line (you know
the kind that rolls up), a tiny thin
BILE, and rolled up in a piece OF
brown paper, just as if it had come
from the store, a number of scraps
of cloth. This gift kept and still
keeps the young lady happy and sat

year-old friend gets a work basket
I hope yours will, too.

Rations Adapted to the Needs OF
Dairy Cows
J. S. X, Cedartown, Ga,
writes: 1 am feeding silage and
a poor quality of oat hay to my
rililch cows with a mixture of
equal parts by measure of cot
tonseed meal, corn meal and oat
meal. Is this a balanced ration
for my cows, and how much of
this mixture of meal should 1
feed to each COW? Would this
concentrated feed be improved
by adding wheat bran to it?
The roughage part of your ration
is very good, and there is no better
substitute for grain than a choice
quality of silage. When silage is
fed, it is desirable as a rule to in
clude a small amount OF dry rough
ageG Dat hay answers very we'll fol
this purpose. Of course, pea vine
hay would be acceptable, or you
might mix pea vine and oat hay to-
gether. Millet and oat hay would
also serve well for the purpose you
have in view. Shredded corn slower
and sorghum hay mixed with pea

Cottonseed meal. corn meal and oat

able adjunct, for wheat bran con-
tains a good deal of PHOSPHORUS,
and this appears. to be an element
which should be fed in some cases
to dairy COWS. There certainly can
be no objection, therefore, to our
making a concentrated ration of
equal parts of cottonseed meal, corn
meal, oat meal and wheat bran.
We feed our grain ration on the
basis of one to two pounds per 100
weight of the animals maintained in
our herd. The quantity of grain fed
varies according to the flow of milk.
You can easily use a measure mark
ed on the inside so that you can
readily determine the weight Of
grain you are giving at each feed,
By watching the milk flow, you can
soon tell whether you. are justified
in feeding more or less grain. 1t
is desirable that you supply your
cows with an abundance of pure
water, keep them in good sanitary
surroundings and give them the run
of a pasture.
