MINORITY AGAINST
 SMALL NAVY PLAN
DECLARES THAT HOUSE BILL ILLUSTRATES BASIC AMERtc-
 AN POLICY
JAPANESE NAVY IS SUPERIOR
Underlying Principle On Which Size or Navy Must Be Determined i. Is It's Relative Strength To
 England And Japan.

Washington.-The proposal Of the House Appropriations Committee Tor a navy in 1923 of 67,000 men ana 6,356 officers was vigorously attacked today in a minority report signed py five Republicans and one Democrat and in statements issued by Repre- sentatives Britten of Illinois and Me Arthur of Oregon, Republican mem bers of the House Naval Committed
 A reduction of the naval forces or the United States to the extent recon mended by the committee would ig nore the basic naval policy set do~h by the arms conference, the minority report declared, asserting that an efi- listed personnel of S0,000, with 6,ooo apprentices would be necessary to keep the United States abreast or Great Britian and ahead of Japan
 Representative Britten said that if the bill had been framed by Brltisn and Japanese delegates" with the ln- tention of wrecking the American navy. they could not have more deilb- erately reduced the United States to a third rate power. while Represent atiye McArthur said canvass he hau made gave him hopes of the adoption of an amendment providing 60.0oV men
 For the first time in it's history" said the minority report filed by six members of the Appropriations com mittee, this country has adopted a naval policy. It means equality with the strongest. If that policy now is disregarded by adoption of the navy bill. we will sink to the rank of third rate naval power, with little voice in any future world councils. No one doubts that the potential su- periority of the American navy was the controlling factor in the negetia- tions of the recent conference. Had our delegates negotiated treaty that placed this country below Great Brt- tian and Japan in navy strength, they would have been denounced as trai- tors-not single vote of the senate would have been recorded in it's fa- vor-yet this bill proposed to place this country in that very position
 The report was signed by Repre- sentatives Tinkham of Massachusetts, Ware of Pennsylvania. Wason of New Hampshire, Magee and Husted of New York, Republicans, and Gallivan of Massachusetts, Democrat.
 "The underlying principle on which in future the strength of our navy must be determined is it's strength in relation to Great Britian and Ja~ pan" the report said. This is the policy of the 5-5-3 ratio. that is. equal ity with Great Britian and 5-S of the strength of Japan"

SHOULD INCREASE YIELD PER ACRE BY USE OF
 FERTILIZER
LOW YIELD UNPROFiTABLE
The 1920 Census Shows That The Av- craze Yield Of Seed Cotton Per Acre For Arkansas Was
 Only 5to Pounds.

Little Rock, Ark-Farmers should lower their cost of production by in creasing yields per acre because low yields are unprofitable and should not be tolerated, it was said by Loy K. Rast. agronomist for the Southern Soil Improvement Committee and sec retary of the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau of the Little Rock Board of Commerce.
 "The 1920 census report shows that the average yield of seed cotton per acre for Arkansas was only 5l0 pounds" said MT. Rast. This means only ITO pounds of lint and $40 pounds of seed Many planters who have kept careful records say that it costs not less than $50 per acre to make a crop of cotton This average yield of TO pounds of lint cotton per acre at Is cents per pound amounts to exactly $50 or enough to pay for the cost of production, the only profit being money obtained for seed which, at S35 per ton, amounts to only S5.95 per acre. Or to subtract the value of seed from the cost of production, 1t Is easy to figure that lint cotton costs I41 cents per pound to produce. Since according to this report, 510 pounds of seed cotton was the average pro duetion per acre, 1t stands to reason that many farmers produced less than this amount which must necessarily have been grown at loss.
 "It is we'll recognized fact by those who have used commercial fer tilizers that an increase in yield of from one to three pounds of seed cot ton can be expected for each pound of fertilizer used. h other words, an application of 500 pounds of a high grade fertilizer per acre will give an increased yield of at least 300 pounds of seed cotton. Therefore, the farmer who has produced 51o pounds of seed cotton per acre without fertilizer could expect a yield of 1,010 pounds of seed cotton per acre by using 500 { pounds of fertilizer. This would, under normal conditions, gin out 537 pounds of lint and 675 pounds of Seeu, put to ODCalh LhlS inCFedSe, Luc farmer would have to spend $9 per acre for fertilizer, allowing himself s1 for applying the fertilizer and charging s3.75 for picking and Sl.50 for ginning the extra yield produced against this crop. These items, when added to the original cost of S3o per acre. makes a total expense of S45.25 per acre Using the same values for seed and lint, as in the former case, the seed from this fertilized crop would be worth SLIT, thus making the lint cotton produced by the use of 800 pounds of fertilizer per acre cost only s9 cents per pound and leave a net profit over and above the cost of production of s271S. In the former case without fertilizer the cost of producing seed cotton was 6.S cents per pound and the increase yield obtained as result of the use of fertilizer would cost only ? cents per pound"

enjoying their period of leisure and making plans for extensive fishing and camping trips. Tn Kansas the industrial court ordered that the present wage agreement be continued for thirty days, and the Southwestern Coal Operators association agreed to this.
 The operators declare that the ulu- mate goat of the union miners is the naturalization of the coal industry, and of course they oppose this, though they are not able to confute the asser- ton that the industry is, as Secretary Hoover says, one of the worst function ing industries in the country. It is always in a chaotic condition. as re- gards both production and dfstribu- tion. When President Lewis went be- fore the house committee 10 present the case of the strikers, he said the miners could see no permanent solu- ton of their difficulties without na- tionalization of the coal mines. But questions brought out that while he would favor the establishment of a governing board to bring about stabilization of the industry, control ling the production, distribution and price of coal. he would oppose the creation of tribunal with power to fix wages Naturally he did not get far with such a one-sided proposition.

A LTHOUGH efforts to bring about A agreements that will end the coal miners strike are continuous, 1t cannot be said that they are meet ing with any conspicuous success. The house committee on labor is taking the lead in these efforts and through it's chairman, Representative Nolan, in- vited the miners and the bitumlnous operators of the central competitive field to a joint conference. The opera tors of western Pennsylvania and southern Ohio already had refused to take part in such conference, but President Lewis of the mine workers said the men would accept the invita- ton if sufficient tonnage was repre- sented. Then declinations were re- ceived by Mir. Nolan from practically all the other groups of operators, chiefly because they felt a conference of fragments of tEe central field would be unayailing. Besides. they asserted they had been and still were willing to meet tine miners of their own states

COLLINS and his pro- WI visfonaI government of the Irish
 Free State are facing a critical situa= ti0n and it is debatable question whether they will survive officially. This despite the fact that the British government is assembling large bodies of troops to go to their support in case of necessity It is believed De Valera and the radical republicans are planning the establishment of a mili- tary dictatorship. and continuous raids and outrages by republican bands lend support to this belief. Murders, am- bushes and seizures of arms are of daily occurrence, and in northwest Ire land it is said large districts which had supported the Free State have gone over to the republican camp. As was intimated in these columns last week. the peace pact between the Free State and Ulster is quite ineffec. tive in restoring peace to the island. Catholics and Protestants, Free Staters and republicans. are in never eeasing conflict, and when they cannot do better the Irish get up private fights.

II is we'll understood that the confer
sncs contemplates the acceptance by
considerable number of operators OF the
old scale. and working condition, includ-
Ing the check-ofr. These operators are
supposed TO represent a large share or
the production in Pennsylvania. Ohio.
Indiana and Illinois.
Undoubtedly. they are moved TO accept
the ,cr-rs OF the United Mine Workers
organization by the prospects for lucra-
tive prohteering at the expense OF tho
public. Coal Is now selling at very
high price. the demand will be acute
during the winter. and the mines that
are able to operate will probably make
a great deal OF money. and the con-
sumner, as usual. will pay the bill in
exorbitant coal charges.
The settlement. however. will only be
temporary The mine Industry In
America Is sick and 1t needs thorough
rebuilding. Any industry which en-
ployes those engaged in 1t an average
OF less than six months in the year Is
badly organized. II involves tremen-
dous economic loss. a waste OF earning
power. that ought not TO be endured.
The seasonal character OF the coal In
dustry is its essential weakness. When
| coal producing and coal distribution are
! so regulated that mines can be run 3l2
days in the year. and men can be en-
ployed constantly. and the flow Of coal
| from the mines will be steady. coal can
be sold at reasonable prices, and the
| coal miner can live upon wages that arc
/ not exorbitant as compared with other
| Industries.
