HARDING PLEADING
FOR 'DO-NOTH|NGS.'
IS HULL COMMENT
Democratic Chairman Says
President Is Pulling Will
sOnian Trick.

Washington, Oct. 16.-The letter of
President Harding to Representative
Mondell, praising the work of congress,
which was made public Sunday, was
declared by Chairman Cordell Hull of
the democratic national committee in
a statement Monday to be sin effect
a plea for the reelection of his do
nothing congress"
with the exceptions of the repub-
Hcan members defeated nthe prima-
ries, Hull said, practically the entire
membership of this congress are can
didates for reelection. and when Pres
ident Harding asks the American peo-
pie to approve of this congress he asks
for its reelection.
ait is befitting to appraise the gen.
eral results of the congress-. says
President Harding, which have been so
helpful to American welfare that they
will not fail TO appeal to the approval
of the American people
Compares With Wilson.
at is the Harding round about way
of doing what President Wilson did
in a direct way when he asked for the
election of democratic congress to aid
him in making a just peace, for which
Ican leaders, and speakers and reac-
tionaries.
president Wilson's plea was for the
continuance of congress to sustain
an administration which had entered
upon and was successfully conducting a
great war, and which he deemed neces-
sary to the making of a successful and
a Just peace. 1t came at time when
republicans in the senate were plot
ting to disparage him and deprive his
administration of the credit for what
it had already done and what it planned
to do.
president Harding's plea, on the
other hand. in effect asks the Ameri-
can people to condone the faults of a
congress already discredited in the eyes
of the American people and repudiated
and denounced by republican leaders,
including q member of his own cabinet,
and the honest and intelligent element
of the republican press.
Quotes Republican Critics
Secretary of War Weeks has said
that the sitting congress has reached
the lowest in the history of the coun-
try. Chairman Wood of the republican
congressional committee, has declared
that everybody is giving this congress
hell because it has done nothing to
stimulate business or to benefit the
farmer. Senator Borah of Idaho, has
said 1T is impossible to get anywhere
in congress and that conditions just
move along until we get into his hope

WORLD WHEAT CROP
100000 BUSHELS
UNDER 1921 OUTPUT
u. S. Has 100000 More
Than Last Year, but
Others Less.
(TrIbune's Washington Bureau)

Washington, Oct. 16.-It was an
nounced by the department of agrIcul-
ture Monday that the world will have
less wheat this year than last, due TO
the fact that only the United States
has increased its production over last
year, the other principal wheat pro.
ducing countries showing only small
crops this year.
The department of agriculture es1-
mates that the total world wheat pro-
duction, excluding Russia and Mexico,
will be 3,O12. $4,000 bushels, COM
pared with 3,049,074,000 bushels pro-
duced last year. Previous estimates
for this year placed the amount or
production at 3,093,S70,000 bushels.
This years figures are based on Off
cial and unofficial estimates from re-
porting countries.
Figures ,obtainable to date indicate
that the stock of wheat on hand ap-
proximates 179,744,0O0 bushels. which
when added to the world production
figures give a total available supply of
3 192 O37 900 bushels for use during
the coming year.
This year France is producing 235,-
$50, 900 bushels as compared with 323.-
467,OO in 1921 and Germany $3.50
600 as compared with 107, ,79S,0G0
bushels in 1921. The United States
will produce $40. .123.000 bushels, COM
pared with 794. $685. last year. A
recent but unofficial estimate places
production in Jugo- Slavia at 47,S00,000
bushels. a decrease of 12,200,000
bushels from the previous estimate
and of 4.O6S,0OO bushels from the
yield last year.
Although Europe is producing mil
lion and quarter bushels less than
last year, quite authentic reports pre-
dict yield in Russia sufficient to sup.
DIV domestic requirements. Increased
acreages have been sown in Argentina

CLAIMS
PARTY FAILED
To MEET |SSUE:
Senator Contends Next
Governor Should Not
Be Tied to Platform.
If Legislature Against
Primary He Should Be
Opposed Also, Theory

Lewiston, Ida, Oct. 16.-Action on
the state republican central committee
of Idaho at Boise Sunday night in re-
jecting his demand that the party re-
verse its attitude toward the direct
primary failed to meet the issue in the
matter, United States Senator William
e. Borah declared Monday night in an
address at Grangeville. The central
committee is on record in favor OF the
convention system.
THE whole issue over which the
controversy has arisen is, this: II
the people of the state manifest their
desire to have statewide primary law
by electing a legislature which passes
such measure, will Moore, republican
nominee for governor, respect the
wishes of the people and sign the
bill?" Borah said. ''The position in
which the committee seeks to place
Moore is that of opposing the will of
the people as it shall be expressed
through the legislature. l have not
asked Moore or the committee to de
clare in favor of a primary law, but /
have urged that both Moore and the
committee respect the will of the peo-
pie as it may be manifested through
their legislature. Certainly repubh-
can committee for a republican gov
ernor ought not to take the position
that If the people at the polls declare
against the convention system that new
ertheless their wish shall be thwarted.
1T is not what / want, neither is it
a question of respecting my individual
wishes. 1t is a question of what the
people want and of respecting their
wishes. If the people of the state do
not want a statewide primary and
elect legislature against it, l GER
tainly would not expect Moore or the
ture. but if they do want a primary
and express their desire by electing a
legislature favorable to it. / feel that
it is good republicanism and sound
patriotism in good faith TO respect
and carry out the wishes of the people
as recorded through their representa-
tives in the legislature"

ARMY REDUCTION
CASE IS CARRIED
UP TO PRESIDENT
Weeks Reiterates Desire for
$4,000 Officers and 10000
Enlisted Men.

Washington, Oct. 16.-(By The As
sociated Press. THE mistaken opin-
ion of Secretary Weeks and his mill
tary advisers that the nations mill
tary policy cannot be adequately sus-
tanned with regular army OF less
than 1900 officers and 10000 men
was again laid before President Hard
ing Monday by the war secretary, who
was accompanied on his visit to the
White House by General Pershing.
The conference had to do with esti-
mates submitted by the war depart
ment for the coming year, calling for
total appropriations of 329,2S7 $50,
tions of $340, ,SS4, ,122. The army bud
get, however, still must be approved
by the director of the budget.
Secretary Is Unchanged
The war secretary made it plain
that he had not changed his belief
that the present army of 10000 Off
GERS and 125.OOO men could not fulfill
all of the missions prescribed by the
national defense act. The new esti
mates do not provide for an increase
in the regular force above these fig
ures, but Weeks has officially ex-
pressed the judgment of the war de-
partment that only the most urgent
need of national economy would war
rant continuing the army at that re-
duced figure.
The principal item in the estimates
submitted comes support of the reg
ular army" at $21o,707, ,379, as COM
pared with S223.411,512 for the cur
rent year. Included in that item, how
ever, is the pay, subsistence and cloth
ing fol all branches of the army, in
Guiding reserve officers training corps,
and the overhead expense of all posts,
camps, schools, hospitals and other por-
tions of the military plants.
Increase for Guard
The estimates provide increases for
maintenance of the national guard and
various training corps at the expense
of the regular establishment in order to
keep within the budget figures. For
the guard, total of S33,9l0,022 Is
proposed against $50, 900 this year;
for the organized reserves, S2,62S,lO9,
with no exactly comparable figure; for
the reserve officers training corps,
81, ,401 900, as compared to $500, 100
this year; for civilian military training
camps, S2,972, $50, as compared with
81 100000.
These figures, with the smaller items,
make up military budget for next
year of $259,42S, 175, as compared to
S257, 1856 .6S1 this year. The non-mili-
tary items, including river and harbor
work. reaches total of $50, ,S90,3I5,
as compared to $79, 1856, ,406 in current
appropriations.

Berry of Tennessee, national vice
commander of the legion, asserted
in a speech that the action of the
United States district attorney
here in obtaining an injunction
closing a number of soft drink

UNION PARTY
MEN To MEET
ONS|TUAT|ON
Chamberlain Presides
at Session to Talk
Coalition and Future.
Leader to Seek Vote of
Confidence From Or
ganization Chiefs.

London, Oct. 16.-(By The Associ-
ated Press Monday was a day of
teverish activity in Downing street, the
chief development being a summons to
the unionist members of the cabinet
and $50 unionist members of the house
of commons to a conference at IN,
Carlton club on October 10, to decide
whether to break up the coalition or
stand by Premier Lloyd George.
TIE decision to call this meeting
was taken at No. IL Downing street,
Austen Chamberlain's home, after con-
sultation of Chamberlain with his
unionist colleagues and the chief party
organizers, among them Sir George
Younger, who, it is recalled, "scotched'
the premier's general election plan a
few months ago on the ground that
the party machinery was not ready.
Chamberlain Seeks Approval
Chamberlain, as party leader, will
preside at the Carlton club meeting,
the result of which the prime minister
will await before deciding on his line
of action. Chamberlain will ask for a
vote of confidence, and on this will
depend his remaining in office and the
ensuing general election. If accorded,
it will be left for the premier to IN
dicate his course. which In any event
will not be divulged until after he
attends the Prince of Wales public
welcome home, October ~.
The participation of Winston Chur-
chill. the colonial secretary, IN the
campaign, has been suddenly cut short
by an attack of gastritis, which has
obliged him to cancel all public engage
ments. Prior to Chamberlain con-
sultation. the premier held "a war
councir' at No. 10 Downing street with
the members of his cabinet, including
Chamberlain, after which he departed
for Chequers court.
Many Labor Candidates
Ominous rumbIings are heard from
labor quarters, one prominent party
official being reported to have de-
cIared that no fewer than 42o labor
candidates would appear in the next
election, of whom sufficient would be

against labor, as depriving labor of
the right to vote and forcing the men
to direct action.
Sir Walter Dunciman at liberal
meeting at Portsmouth made an on

he declared was vacilating in its
foreign policy and inefficient in fin
