FARTHEST NORTH
 UNIVERSITY WILL
 OPEN DOORS SOON
Alaska Agricultural College, Near Arctic Circle, to Offer Four Courses of
 Study
By Associated Proaa

Seattle, Wash. January 2S.-What is believed to be the worlds far thest north" university-the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines at Fairbanks, within a hun dred miles of the Arctic circle--will open It's doors next September. Charles E. Bunnell, former federal judge and now president of the in stitution, announced here recently.
 The college campus Is situated on a tract of land four miles from Fair banks on the main line of the new government railroad, set aside by Congress in 1915. The college itself was formerly established in 1917 by an act of the territorial legisla ture and $60,000 set aside for buildings and equipment. The sum proved in- adequate and in 1921 an additional appropriation of $41,000 was made. Most of the operating expense will be met by the territory of Alaska, but $5O,000 will be available from federal funds, according to President Bunnell.
 The first years curriculum will offer four courses-agricultur gem eral science, home economies and mining-under present plans. Special short courses in mining will be given to meet the requirements or pros pectors and others unable to attend during the full college year.
 The work of the college. President Bunnell predicted, Is destined to play an important part in the development of the territory.
 There was under cultivation in the immediate vicinity of Fairbanks last year" he pointed out, "a total of 1920 acres. This land produced 100 tons of vegetables, 1,oos tons of oats hay. 1,270 bushels of oats and barley. s,51s bushels of wheat and 392 tons of potatoes. The wheat repre- sents the yield of 1sS acres. This yield can be multiplied many times as more land is brought under cul- tivation through the application Of proper farming methods"
 President Bunnell will remain "outside" for several weeks securing equipment for the school and em- ploying faculty members.

American Farmer Has Now Become Internationally Minded" Conference ShoUs
Resolutions Adopted by Agricultural Interests at Wash ington Meeting May Have Effect on Attitude of
 Harding Toward Economic Setting at Genoa
By ROBERT T. SMALL Special Correspondent of The Axe-Herald (Copyrixht. 1922 by The Are-HeraIdO

Washington January 28The agricultural conference session Washington this week. has brought home branches of the the internationally minded"

than revival of hope and courage upon the part of other nations of the world. and particularly of Europe. Let us lend them helping hand. Let them feel that we are friendly toward all. Austria and Germany as well as France. We shall see then revival of demand for the product of our American farms"
 Urging extension of credits for ex- ports. Carl Vrooman. of Illinois, told the conference that 1t was a mon strous spectacle" that Europe was starving and needing clothes while American storehouses were bursting with surplus cotton, grain and other commodities.
 Text of Resolution
 The text of the resolution adopted by the conference on the subject of help to Europe Is as follows:
 Whereas, the surplus productions of many products of American farms have long found and now find their main market in European countries which are also now large public deb tors to the United States. These are facts of importance to every business interest in this country.
 Resolved. That this conference therefore, urge the administration to use it's good offices and it's command ing position as a creditor country to aid Iii the industrial rehabilitation of Europe"
 This was as near an intimation to the administration as the farmers felt they could give that the United States should send q representative to Genoa-a move which the isola- tion irreconciables have bittery op- posed,
 The farmer, therefore, through rep resentatives at Washington, has spoken for a form of international ism. The conference has been full of surprises from the beginning. It also has shed some light in the dark est corners of Washington.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-01-29

o"iNLL " thc dBIiCulLuTdl conference Is not to be lost unon inc Harding administration. Secretary Hoover who has been in favor of the united States doing it's full share in the rehabilitation of Europe, has had his hands tremendously strengthened Dy the resolution of the American farmers. These men of the soil, most of them stalwart republicans. have let it be known that they, too, expect the American government to assist Europe back to normalcy, for the farmer realizes that there can be no normalcy in America without at least an approach to normalcy in the coun- tries which in normal times draw their supplies of foodstuffs from this country.
 Attitude of Harding
 The attitude of the farmers attend ing the conference here may have a farreaching effect upon the ultimate attitude of the Harding administra- tion toward the Gonoa conference and the further European conferences which are sure to follow the Genoa sitting.
 The attitude of the farmers also is likely to have a lasting effect upon Congress in general and the Senate in particular. Some members of the agricultural bloc in the Senate have also been members of the irrecon- cilable bloc on the subject of Amer ican participating in European af- fairs. But now that the farmers voice has been heard in a plea that something be done to bolster up Eu- rope, the irreeoncilables dependent upon the farmer vote are very ap- parent to stop, look and listen be- fore voting anew fur a policy of American isolation from the rest of the world.
 eve Do Not Need Europe"
 We do not need Europe" has been a slogan to conjure with at the cap itol during the last two yearsS and the phrase Internationally minded meaning that man thinks of Flu rope as well as America first'-has been used as term of contempt. We do need Europe" and the statement is certain to have it's influence upon future events in Washington. The farmer is the most powerful element in the political life of the United States today. Congress has it's ears attuned to a cry of the farmer as 1t neve. had them attuned even to the call of "big business" The tiller of the soil may be financially poor but he was never so politically rich as at the preesnt moment. It Is of vast po- litical significance therefore when the farm congress adopts program which among other things recom- mends;
 That the government extend aid to Europe for economic rehabilitation.
 That Congress authorize credits for the financing of exports to Eu- rope.
 That increased support be given to the international agricultural insti- ute at Rome, and
 That agricultural attaches be as- signed to the American embassies in foreign countries.
 EIy's Statement
 It is a very significant thing when the representatives of the farmers applaud sentiments expressed to them by men like Richard T. Ely, professor of economies at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin, who said:
 At the present moment nothing is more vital to the American farmer

ing world only in strong army and negotiable promissory notes from Ger. many, notarially attested, Poincare IS a nationalist, and like all other nationalists, considers only his own country and his own people. In every scheme of international CO., operation suggested, Poincaire sees only an attempt to deprive France of her separations.
 Mad seIf-Deception
 It is only a symptom of our mad self-deception. however, which dis torts Poincaire into horrible mons- ter, for his opening declarations have been no shriller than many of his predecessors,
 This same deception has re- suited in mourning this week of the death of the Pope, because 1t is claimed Benedict was pro German. As matter of fact. the Pope did not venture mediation until the summer of 1917. when no reasonable person could have expected a German vic- tory, or even a favorable peace for the German Lutherans.
 Berlin imagined in September, 1914. that Germany had won victory at Ln6 NdllCdn WDtn the NIenOGSe 1dTQl- nal Della Chiesa was elected Pope polio. who, In falling health, did not consider himself fitted for the papacy during a world war and furthered his colleagues selection.
 Pope Was Mortified
 Pope Benedict, outwardly neutral, heard with horror the part the Kaiser played before the nuncio in Berlin. Starting with the thousand times dis proved fiction of Italy's "treachery" to the triple alliance, Wilhelm pic. tured to the nuncio the judicial in- quiry which King Victor Emmanuel must undergo before Gods throne.
 How can you, false scoundrel justify your perfidy?' God will ask" said Wilhelm. My people forced mo into war the terrified pigmy will answer, but then the Almighty, real ly angered, will say: No. little man, get your throne from the people or from me7'"
 All of this. which was reported verbatim, was in Berlin dialect, but even this did not move Benedict to smile at the trayesty on the last judgment. Rather it's arrogant blind ness and slanderousness mortified the pious priest.
 May Bnnish Prison Legend
 During seven years in the papacy, Benedict achieved much. France, eld- est child of the church, but lost for 20 years, resumed diplomatic rela- tions under Premier Briand, who, as minister of the interior, had expelled the nuns and monks. England, un- represented at the Vatican since Henry VIII was communicated for Anne Boleyn, now sends an The Irish Free State may have diplomatic relations with the Vatican. Peace with Italy is al- most concluded. Probably the next Pope will banish completely the legend of imprisonment and move freely about.
 How much does the church owe this to the desire of the bourgeoisie amid bolshevistic mem aces, to reconcile itself with the old est established power of restraint.

OLD BATTLESH|P USEDASST0RAGE HOUSE FOR BOOZE Sunken Massachusetts Used By Liquor Runners as

man talking. but German in high 1 authority.
 This reduction simply means that the French taxpayer must pay what the Germans avoid. The German press chooses this moment to accuse France of crucifying Germany, a remark which does not need comment.
 The approaching elections In Eng land bring internal politics to the fore In that country with unfortunate effects upon the foreign policy. Da- vid Lloyd George seeks a platform which will enable him to get a ma jority similar to the one in 1918. His platform then was "hang the Kaiser" and make Germany pay to the ut termost farthing."
 Adopts New Platform
 But this time the scene has changed. The new platform Is Ire construct Europe"
 Let me merely observe that il Lloyd George is as faithless to the new Europe as he was to the old it may be long time before the recon struction Is accomplished.
 Moreover, without naming him. Lloyd George has made sharp speech against Premier Polncaire. There Is no doubt that Poinoaire's personality arouses in England, es- pecially in Downing street, mixed sentiments. In 1920 Lloyd George complained against Poinealra. then the head of the reparations commits sion, conducting an anti-allied cam paign in reviews and newspapers Again he officially protested in Oc- tober. 1921, against Poincaires pub fishing of secret peace documents 4r "a af between Poincaire and Lloyd George. Their controversy as to the relative merits Of the modern conference es against the old diplomacy, is not par ticularly Interesting, since 1t con cerns only the form. But the contrc- versy foreshadows disquieting dis agreement about essentials.
 Why Portfolio Refused
 When Premier Poineaire asked me to take portfolio in his cabinet 1 told him that while I approved his purposes ] did not think he could achieve them. because of his contro- versial activities of the last two and half years. This alluded not only to the fact that he constantly ap- proved the acts of Premiers Miller and and Briand, whom he now com bats, but also to his personal situa- tlOH IeldllNe lo DTlltSH tlTCleSs w nut is happening now confirms my fears
 As to American opinion. il seems hard to follow. The American press urges France not to abstain from the effort for world solidarity represent ed by the Genoa conference, but ap- parently the American government will refuse to participate in this same effort. Secretary Hoovers commits sion asks us to reduce our repara- tions claims, which already, on the confession of German officials, have been reduced 40 per cent. Mean time. We are told the United States will not grant either a cancellation or a reduction in the allies debts.
 In one word. America preacnes sol- jdarity and sacrifice for us. while practicing sbstention herself. Let me say that France has never asked for a remission of her debts. She asks only not to be prevented from collecting her credits. That is the sum total of Frances Imperialism"
 Todays situation is full of uncer- tainty. When any light dswns I will be the first to acclaim it.
