sentatives from progressive farmer
organizations, labor organizations, CO.
operative societies., the Socialist and
Farlner-Labor parties and other or
ganizations in sympathy with the pro-
gram of the new organization will be
invited to the December meeting. At
this meeting an effort will be made to
form a national party or organization
for the purpose Of taking part in the
presidential election Of 1924. Until
that time the progressive forces in
various states will act independently
as they see fit. The committee of Is
will assist progressive forces in the
various states in the campaigns this
year and arrange for. the big conven-
tion next December. ,
The meeting was remarkable from
the fact that it included representa-
tives~of practically every shade of lib
eral and radical belief, ranging from
single takers and members Of Coop
eratiye organizations to Socialists
And there was complete harmony
throughout the proceedings.
Frederic c.. Howe, liberal, and au-
thor of books on cooperation, was
chairman of the committee that
formulated the plan of action. AS
showing the different shades Of opin-
ion represented is the fact that Morris
Hillquist, Socialist of New York, was
a member of the same committee, as
was John Fitzpatrick of the Farmer
Labor party, and Thomas Van Lear,
labor leader of Minneapolis. Other
members of the committee which drew
up the plan of action are Arthur E.
Holder, Agnes Nestor, Timothy Healy,
A. H. Long, Martin F. Ryan, Tom
Ayres eNonpartisan Lacquer of South
Dakota), E. P. Curtis and James H.

system is unconstitutional. Suit has
therefore been started in the supreme
court of the District of Columbia by
one Of the national farm loan asso-
Citations to compel the land banks to
become permanently organized under

out of political control by the federal

AS result of this suit, the second and
worst attack on the original provisions
of the law is now being made.
. Apparently feeling that this suit to
place the land banks in farmer con-
troll may be successful, the federal
farm land board has now come for

congress that UTTERLY AND FOR

TURNED DOWN
United States Refuses to Par

Meeting in June.
GOVERNMENT REPLIES
TO CHILD'S MESSAGE
Believes Conference Will
Prove Big Failure as Did
that at Genoa.

WASHINGTON, May l6. The
United States will not participate
in The Hague conference next month
when the Russian situation is up
for general discussion. The State
Department today published the text
of the message to Ambassador Child,
at Genoa, declining the invitation
to participate in the conference.
The Government note declining
the invitation said in part:
THE Government is unable to con-
clude that it can helpfully partici-
pate in the meeting at The Hague
as this would appear to be con-
tinuance under different nomen-
clature of the Genoa conference and
destined to encounter the same diff
ficulties If the same attitude dis
closed in the Russian memorandum
of May II remains unchanged"
In conclusion and in a renewal OF
the offer to give serious attention
TO any proposals issuing from the
Genoa or later conference" the note
adds that the suggestion OF The
Hague meeting lacked the definite
ness which would make possible the
concurrence of the Government in
the proposed plan"
