germany COULD EASILY
RE.kRM RUSSIA FOR WAR
British Premier Tells House OF
Commons the Atmosphere
Breathes Strife.

London. May 25.-Loud chee's
greeted Prime Minister Lloyd
George when he entered the House
Of Commons at 3:45 o'clock this
afternoon for a debate on the
foreign policies Of the government
which lis likely to have an import !
ant bearing upon his political fu-
ture.
The Genoa conference formed
the text for the debate.
Mr.. Lloyd George said he pur-
posed dealing only \ with the bust
ness of the gathering and did not
intend to discuss German relations
OF British relations With France.
In regard TO the question wheth-
er the conference had succeeded, /,
he would simply state the facts
fairly and let the members Judge
them fairly.
Atmosphere of War
Although peace had been estab-
lished in Europe. it was quite clear,
said Lloyd George. that the war at
mosphere to a certain extent re-
manned. !
AS for Russia, it was hopeless for
her. whatever her government, said
the premier. to expect to extricate
herself from her squalid misery
without the assistance of the other
thirty nations. There were two
alternatives in dealing with the
Russian situation, Mr.. Lloyd George
pointed out. The first was force,
which had failed. No one had sug-
gested that at Genoa. The second
was to leave Russia to her fate.
But how" he asked, could we
insure Europe against the risks !
this policy would involve The
Russo-German agreement shows the
sort OF peril I mean"
Menace Is Shown
Germany, said the premier, could
not requip Russia economically, /
not having the capital, but that was
not the case with ornaments. as
there was every natural resource in :
one country and complete technical
skill in the other. |
The British delegations" he
said, realized that it was necessary |
for the peace Of the world. whatev-
er was thought OF the Soviet gov
eminent, that some arrangement
with Russia be made in order to en-
able her TO help in swelling the
volume of trade on which so many
millions depend, and in order to
give sense of stability and securi-
ty to Europe"
Names Obstacles
The attainment of normal condi-
tions in Europe, he said, had been
impeded by numerous obstacles. the
removal of which was the aim OF
the conference. The first OF these
was currency difficulties, and the
instability OF exchanges; the second
was trading restrictions; the third,
transportation difficulties, and the
fourth was the absence OF sense 4
OF security against war.
One Of the unfortunate results
OF the war, which had demonstrated
the power of international good
will, was that il should have de- :.
veloped into the narrow, selfish,
blind nationalism. that was found
in every direction, he said.

London. May 25. Once again
Lloyd George appeared in the House
of Commons today to render an
account OF his stewardship at
Genoa, and once again. after a pre-
else and carefully worded statement
and an eloquent rebuttal OF criti-
cism directed against him. he re-
eeived the support of the House in
what is considered the equivalent
Of another vote OF confidence.
The House. by an overwhelming
majority Of 2S5 TO 90. rejected an
amendment moved by Rupert
Gwynne. Zionist. to the motion on
which the debate was based as a
means of expressing the dissajs-
faction OF the House with Mr..
Lloyd Georges exposition. Mr..
Gwynne had been most vehement
in his denuncistions of the Govern
ment. asserting that Mr.. Lloyd
George had spoken only OF what
might have happened at Genoa,
not of what really did happen there.

HESSIkN FLY seen
EARLY SOWN FIELDS

Disregard of the fly free date for
sowing wheat this fall has resulted
in early sown fields having as high
as Is or 20 per cent infestation with
Hessian fly, reports County Agent J.
L. Dolan, after an examination of
fields in several parts of the county.
Practically all fields sown before the
free date, Sept. 80, have at least a
trace of infestation, a minimum of
one or two per cent. So small num-
Der of flies will not hurt the yield ma
terially, says Mr.. Dolan, but it will in
sure sufficient number living over
to cause more damage next spring.
The pupae of the flies, about the
size and appearance of a flax seed,
may be found at this time, by pulling
up weakly plants and stripping down
the lower leaves. The FLAX seeds
will be found beneath them and next
the wheat stalk. They are most
abundant in fields in western Wayne
county, where the free date was more
generally disregarded.
Wayne county suffered a severe loss
of nearly half the wheat crop, from
Hessian fly damage, three years ago.
The fly free date for sowing was OBJ
served in 1920 and fields were prac-
tically free in 1921 as consequence.
Again in the fall of 1921, the same
precaution was observed, and there
was little damage to the 1922 crop.
A recurrence of the earlier infesta-
ton is predicted for next year, as a
number of fields were sown before
Sept. % this fall.

new AUDITOR SILENT
ON LAND DISPOSAL

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 9.-Robert
Bracken. newly elected state. auditor,
refused to commit himself today on
how he will dispose Of the $50 acres
of state land on the border line be-
tween Gary and Hammond.
He will dispose OF the land Dec. 81.
The state has been offered 800 an
acre by the Jones-Laughlin Steel com
pany who proposes to erect a $12,000,-
900 steel plant on the site. The com
pany had already purchased this prop
erty along with 5000 acres surround
ing it from the East Chicago Realty

aware that it belonged to the state.
This was during the term of office
of William G. Oliver, Bracken's pre-

for $1o\ although Il had been assessed
for $50 an acre. He said adjacent
land had brought as high as 5000.

2 MORE FARM CREDIT
BILLS ARE PRESENTED
nv Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-TWO more
farm credit plans were added today to
the dozen or more already before con-
gress.
A bill amending the farm loan act to
provide additional credits was intro
duced by Senator Norbeck, (Republic-
an, South Dakota), and Representative
Strong, Republican, Kansas, while
another introduced by Senator Nor
beck and Representative A. P. Nelson,
Republican, wisconsin,, would auth
orize the war finance corporation to
make loans to foreign purchasers of
American agricultural products.
Both of the bills are endorsed by the
American Farm Bureau federation and
20 beyond the administration propos-
ais in the recently introduced Lenroot-
Anderson bill Whether the differ
ences may be harmoniZed easily has
not yet been developed, but certain
provisions of the new Norbeck-Strong
measure are contained in other bills in
troduced by Senator Capper, (Repub-
lican, Kansas), chairman of the SEN
ate farm bloc. and others of the farm
group in congress.
Increase Loans
Increase from $4,000 to $25, 900 of
the maximum loan which could be
made TO individual farmers by coop
erative farm land banks is one of the
principal features of the Norbeck'
Strong bill Senator Norbeck said
that this change would give local CO.
operative associations better chance
to compete with the joint stock land
banks"
Such loans also under the new bill
would be available for security on ma
chinery and other debts of borrowers
and not limited, as under the present
law, to land and buildings.
''The bill which / have introduced
said Senator Norbeck of this feature
"makes 1t possible for a farmer who
owes money on farm machinery for
instance. to place a mortgage on his
land with the federal farm loan asso-
Citations and pay off the debt on the
farm machinery. He may also Dor
row money to educate his family"
