CAMPAIGN OPENED;
NAME IS CHEERED
Gerard, Morgenthau, Mrs. Gait
Among Those Who Laud
Work of Ex-President.

New York, Jan. 16-Several hun
dred men and women cheered every
mention of the name of Woodrow Will
son Monday at the opening of cam
paign for S1,OO0,O00 to stablish a
memorial to Woodrow Wilson by the
Woodrow Wilson foundation "for mer-
itorious service in behalf Of democracy,
public welfare, liberal thought aand
peace through justice"

his accomplishments and his ideals
were spoken by James w. Gerard
former ambassador to Germany, Henry
Morgenthau, one time ambassador to
Turkey; Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
Augustus Thomas. playwright; Frank
lin D. Roosevelt. and others.
Mr.. Gerard declared Mr.. Wilson had
been stabbed by hatred, envy and ig-
norance, adding that if the former
president had been victorious in his
aims there would be no war clouds in
Europe today.
Mrs. Gait declared the ingratitude
Of the republic to be pre0erbial, and
predicted that the generations to come
would proclaim the ideals of Wilson
as those who followed Washington and
Lincoln had reversed the judgment of
their contemporaries.

ENGINEERED MONEY
DEPRESSION IN j. S.
Idaho Wool Growers Head AS
serts Financial Interests
Destroyed Buying Power.

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 16.--'rhe period
of financial depression through which
the nation is now passing was delib-
erately engineered by few men, Hugh
Sproat. president of the Idaho Wool
Growers association, charged in an
address Monday at the opening session
of @the associations annual convention
The depression, the speaker said
went farther than its engineers in
tended. Mr.. Sproat asserted it as his
belief that financial interests knowing
ly destroyed the buying power of the
American farmer. The policy of the
federal reserve bank. he declared, in
limiting the amount of financial as
sistance to agriculture, has been an
important contributing cause of agri-
cultural depression.
Mr.. Sproat said the wool industry
had been the first to recover and other
speakers shared this view and spoke
encouragingly of both the wool and
lamb market outlook. More than 100
wool growers were in attendance at
the opening session.

or the moment all delegations ap-
pear to have adopted an attitude of
waiting, SO that except for collateral
discussions on various points the work
of the conference is at standstill.
The situation again has made Japan
the center of coniectures because of
her outstanding position in the far
east and because most of the problems
to be approached have arisen over
policies and acts emanating from
Toxic.
Representatives Of the other powers
are speculating TO what extent the
United States Will go in reiterating the
many protests she has made in the
past against japanese moves in Shan
tung and elsewhere in Asia, and in
seeking an effective means by which
readjustments may be brought about.
Japanese Are Waiting
Because the Washington govern
ment has thus taken the lead in pro-
testing heretofore. however, some
delegates believe American officials
would not object if some other delega-
ton now took on it's shoulders the task
of stating pointedly the desires of the
powers regarding future Japanese
Chinese relations. But there is no
indication that any other power is
preparing to do so.
The japanese. meantime. are waiting
also but are throwing out suggestions
that any attempt to force Japan
withdrawal from Shantung, Manchuria
or Siberia except on terms that will
protect her interests is sure to meet
with bitter opposition.
Although not directly wrapped UP
in the general far eastern negotiations.
the naval treaty. too is waiting for
final approval and indications are
multiplying that its signature may be
delayed. until the far eastern problems
are showing clearer indications of
solution.

FORFARNERO ON

Both Denounced and
Defended by Solons.
Warns That
Agriculturists Are to
Be Fooled Once More.

Washington. Jan. 16.-The senate
probably will vote at once to put a
farmer on the federal reserves board
leaders said Monday night. Such ac-
ton would be taken on bill amending
the federal reserve act so that, IN
making appointments to the board, the
president must have ''due regard for
fair representation of the financial.
agricultural. industrial and commercial
interests and the geographical subdivi-
sions of the country" The measure is
a compromise, to which President
Harding and most senators have agreed
Senator's Monday denounced and de-
Tended the many phases of the reserve
boards activities, there being several
attacks on the general administrative
policy Of the board, while Senator
Glass, democrat, Of Virginia. a former
secretary of the treasury and known
as the author of the reserve act, stout
ly defended the boards personnel and
program. He denied charges that the
board was the cause of the heavy de-
creases in prices of agricultural prod
ucts.
Norris Attacks Plan
The other principal speech was by
Senator Norris. republican. of Nebras
ka, who, while saying he was eager
to do anything which would aid the
farmers. warned that the farmers are
about to be fooled again.
They think" he said, that this
legislation will work wonders: that it
will give immediate relief: that sort
of millennium will be produced. But
it won't. because by no legislative act
can congress take away the discretion
ary power vested in the executive over
appointments
He said he probably would vote for
some of the amendments, which, he
said. would be offered to the compro-
mise measure. but that in most cases
his vote would be Tin protest against

Glass Submits Figures
Mr.. Glass offered official statistics
showing, he said. that while prices of
agricultural products tumbled last year
the regional reserve banks actually had
increased the volume of currency and
enlarged credits. He submitted fig
ures showing the shocking decline" in
prices of agricultural products during
1920, along with statements showing
that the amount Of paper redscounted
BY the reserve banks increased from
S2,215, 100000 on January /. 1920, to

in Congress Over
Great Lakes Canal

Washington. Jan. 16.-A bitter and
perhaps protracted fight in congress
over the proposed improvement of the
st. Lawrence river to provide chan

Lakes was forecast by developments
in the house after the report of the

President Harding.
Instead Of Immediately referring the
report to a committee. the speaker an
nounced he would determine at hear
ing Wednesday which Of three commit
tees-the merchant marine, foreign

Lake Ontario be included with that Of
the st. Lawrence river between Lake
Ontario and Montreal, was sent to the

war as 1.-THE most humane weapon yet

He cited figures of losses in the war

numerous medical investigators to
prove that the victims of gas were no

Newness of gas as n weapon of war
