ASK LIMIT
Continued from Page y

at the conference in opposition to
limiting submarine fleets, it was add
ed, brought a specific reservation by
British delegates Of the right to build
craft as light cruis-
crs and destroyers without rcstric-
ton save as to the maximum size of
cruisers, 10000 tons, and limitation
Of the maximum size of guns they
could carry to inch weapons.
In addition to the new cruiser pro-
gram. the committee is known to
have been informed Of the general
boards recommendation that a start
be made on undermining the pre-
Jutland battleships Of the navy, the
point being made that Great Bri-
tain has already remodelled to a
large extent to increase gun range
or her capital ships to be retained
under the treaty. The American
modernization project would cost in
the neighborhood of $60,000,OO0. 1t
has been estimated. Lacking such
remodelling work, American 14-inch
gun ships would remain outranged
by otherwise similar but modernized
British ships by five miles, navy Off
GERS have declared.
The request to the president was
placed at the very end of the fifty
page naval bill. 1t reads:
The president is requested to en-
ter into negotiations with the gov
ernments of Great Britain, France,
Italy and Japan, with the view OF
reaching an understanding or agree
met relative to limiting the construc-
ton of all types and sizes of sub
surface and surface craft of 10000
, tons standard displacement or less,
and of aircraft.
1t was claimed by committee
friends of the Kelley proposal, that
the saving in capital ships eXpendi-
lures under the arms treaty would
be more than offset in the building
OF lighter vessels of q size permitted
by the treaty, and that this situa-
ton possibly prevailed as to other
participating nations.
The bill will be taken up tomorrow
and while the disarmament item is
not expected to be reached before
Friday at the earliest. Mr.. Kelley. in
charge of the bill, will explain at the
outset the nature of the request and
give his reasons for the proposed
step.

Com. Washburn's Report

Commissioner of Agriculture, r.
P. Washburn, chairman of the COM
mittee Of Agriculture of the Maine
State Grange. presented report on
behalf of the committee. of which
the following is brief:
The effect of the postwar condi-
tions upon the agriculture of our
country is shown by the fact that the
value of farm products in 1921 was
only So per cent of the value in 1919.
But this has not been true in all
forms Of industry and because of
this an unduly hard burden had fall
en- upon the farmers. While the
price of farm products has increased
but little since 1913 the PRICE of la
Dor has increased greatly, which is
only one of many hardships which
the farmer has to face. Despite these
facts the farmers have maintained
their work under conditions which
would long ago have discouraged the
workers of other industries.
But if New England is to retain
its supremacy as manufacturing
and Industrial center it cannot con-
tinue long to supply the needs of its
, workers from the distant producing
sections Of the country while its own
farmers are working under such
difficulties.
That the agricultural interests OF
| the State are enormous were shown
| by various figures which were given
by the chairman regarding the pro-
! duction of the farms and the nun
Der of live stock in the State the las,
year.
But he said that the conditions
! with reference to abandoned farms
In this state was painted blackel
than it should be. He said that many
of the farms which had been abon.
doned had never been meant by ma.
tCre for anything but the raising OF
wood and lumber. Because of the
increased population of the countr,
and the decrease in available land
in the west the people will necessar-
lily turn to the east and the natural
resources will be made more avail
| able.
The committee recommended that
the farmers working together should
help to make the farm more attrac.
tive SO that the people would be
more contended as this is necessary
for the proper development of our
farms.
In conclusion he gave credit to the
grange, farm bureau. the extension
service and the experiment station
for their patient. cheerful and effec-
tive service in helping the farmers
in their work and pleasure

ferred with Harry o. Barney. the
newly elected commander of the Au-

Posts have already approved OF the
idea, and it is probable that the Au-
gusta Post will fall in line in this ed
ucational movement.
! Mr.. Barney will present the pro-
position to the Legion Post with the
suggestion that the organization au-
. thorize the payment of $25 to start
the move. The sum of 1928 will pay
for the board and tuition Of one stu

Augusta Chamber of Commerce is
greatly interested in the matter and

Any Augusta boy or girl between
the age of 10 to 20 years will be
eligible to compete for the scholar
ship. A committee will be formed tc
examine the candidates and to select
the student to attend. The Legion
