Farm Editor Proposes a
Novel Method to Set
tie War Debts.

Washington, Jan 24.-(By the
associated Press. "A proposal
hat the United States offer to take
aver the entire naYieS of the al
lies at full cost "as payment to-
ward the billions they owe the
limited States" accept on account
he allies other war equipment at
sinnk prices" and sail this grand
armada to the Pacific and there be
SINK 10 miles deep with all flags
fying", was made to the national
agriculture conference today by
Herbert Myrick, editor of Farm and
Home, of Springfield, Mass.
Mr.. Myrick also proposed reduc-
don of the United States budget
FOR its army and navy to the pre-
war figure and the utilization of
the difference which he said, would
be 5000, 900 600 towards paying the
bonus for the former service men.
The national agricultural confer
ence turned To Europe today for a
study of factors causing the gen.
sral American farm depression and
for possible means OF relief.
Tells European Situation.
G. F. Warren of Ithaca, N. Y,
Just back from a trip of investiga-
ton in Europe, told of the effect
Of the situation there on American
agriculture and emphasized the
needs of accurate information for
American farmers as to European
production and demand.
tho nnnAitfnT G
In Europe will be subject to er-
ratio changes both in supply and
demand" said Mr.. Warren, IF we
are to adjust our production TO
meet the changing demand we must
have the fullest and most carefully
analyzed information. Agriculture
is not a one-year business. We
need to know all the currents of
European movement as far in ad-
vance as possible. This involves
continued study of European and
later of Russian farm conditions
BY men who are skilled in the in
terpretation of farm facts. We also
need continuous Information that
bears on demand"
Mr.. Warren asserted that because
deflation did not begin in Europe
until last year. prices there were
still much above the pre-war level
and had stimulated production to
meet the demand.
Finance Own Trade.
Formerly Europe financed much
Of ''Fl.world trade in farm pro-
due dtNow we must do it," de-
clal Mr.. Warren, adding, this
me, us q readju djustment in the meth
DDS Of financing American agricul-
ture."
In all European countries, he
added. efforts were being made ito
be self-sufficient so that no import
ing will be required"
The drop in the price of European
tarm products, he said, did not come
until last summer, one year after
The drop here, and they are still
much higher as compared with pre-
var prices than in the United
States.
While the debating process is go
Ing on in the allied and neutral
countries, initiation is still progress

MI. Warren declared.
These facts are of interest to US, y
ae added, not only because they
simulate farm production, but be-
eaGse when initiation takes place

BY JAMES ALLERTON.

New York, Jan. 24.-The naming
of prices for some 1922 lines by the
leading interests in the cotton and
wooden textiles has served to stim-
ulate buying in those lines to some
extent in this market. The prices
of the offerings of the Amoskeag
Manufacturing company and the
American Woolen company were
more of a mental hazard to the
trade than a check to purchases for
the reason that reduction from the
1921 levels were made in both cot
ton and wooden goods. Many job
bers have already committed them
selves for a larger amount of goods
than last year.
Buying of equipment of railroads
continues on q liberal scale in this
section. Basic building material
prices are showing gradual ad-
vances and while construction has
been checked to some extent by in
clement weather, an increased vol
ume of new building in this section
seems assured.
Shoe factories in this section are
we'll occupied on future orders and
some of the silk mills of the Pater-
son district have been forced to in
crease their working schedules. The
resumption of work in the cloak
and suit factories has produced in
creased activity in that section of

retary of the conclave which elect

Immediately pro-secretary of state

took place in Vienna because his
predecessor had been prosecuted -
French Republic as he himself was
by Napoleon, the conclave, it is re-
called here, was held in a monas-
terry of the Servites and for want of
the proper officials the rector of
the monastery was asked to act as
secretary of the conclave. Once
Plus VII. was chosen, the rector
knelt before him and presented him
with the white cap. The new pope
began folding his red cap, but the
rector took courage to remind his
Holiness of the custom of placing
the red cap on the head of the sec
retary.
The new pontiff, recalling that
the rector was a Servite, made a
play on words and replied:

FILLED MILK
May Nullify Wisconsin
Law Against Sale of
Compounds.

Madison, Wis, Jan. 24.-Ffndin@s
on which the constitutionality of
the 1921 filled milk law largely will
depend, were reported to the su-
preme court today by Judge a. &.
Zimmerman, special referee. Ar
guments on the law, which pro-
hibits manufacture or sale of the
product in Wisconsin, probably will
be set for the March term of court.
Judge Zimmerman's findings on
the action brought by the Carna-
ton Milk Products company, in
hearings before him, Nov. II, to
Dec. l, declared that compounds
made from skinned milk and
cocoanut oil "are not harmful or
deleterious as a food either for
adults or children, but are not de-
israble as a complete substitute for
milk because of the lower vitamine
content"
The distinction in food value
between the whole milk and milk
compounds the judge found to lie
in the fact that the compound ap-
pears to be deficient in Vitamines. -
But, he added, "a varied diet such
as is used by the American people
generally supplies ample vitamin IS
and the amount of any particular
vitamine necessary for proper
growth is not known"
Refers to Chemists.
Chemists have apparently dem
onstrated," he said, that in addi-
ton to protein, caloric volume and
salts necessary for a well balanced
diet, there is required an additional
productive substance of recent dis
covery-vitamines.
THE milk compound" Judge
Zimmerman pointed out, contains
a sufficiency of all other elements
except one class of vitamines re-
Quired to make food complete as
we'll as wholesome"
He concluded that the compound
"is a wholesome food product in
the sense that bread, potatoes or
lean meats, or cereals, or fruits are
wholesome foods, each for their
uses and purposes and that of milk
compound is especially in cooking
and baking"
Referring testimony introduced
by the state in support of its charge
of fraud in the sale of milk COM
pounds, Judge Zimmerman found
that the milk company itself does
not appear to have advertised the
compound as milk or milk COM
pound or authorized others so to
do" although many grocers had
advertised milk compounds"

Washington, d. c., Jan. 24-Just
why the United States government
will not be represented officially
at the economic conference to be
held at Genoa in March is for the
moment the most interesting stoay
in the capitol.
No one reason but combina-
ton of circumstances has prevent
ed President Harding from accept
ing on behalf of the United States
the invitation recently extended by
the allies to help reconstruct Eur
ope and Indirectly the economic sit
uation of the whole world.
First, the Isolation bloc" in the
United States senate has served no.
tice that if the administration in
sists on going to Genoa, it can ex-
pect serious opposition to ratifica-
ton of the treaties and conventions
adopted at the Washington confer
ence on armament.
Second, the administration is dis
couraged over the refusal of France
to discuss reparations at Genoa, an
adjustment of which is regarded as
SSSSAtldI " SCOuOLIIS ISCupSI dtlOA
everywhere.
L. s. Must Make Good.
Third, unless the United States
government can make good the
promises and agreements entered
into by the executive branch of the
government and present to the
world fully ratified treaties, Amer
| ica's word at international con
ferences in the future will be OF
! little avail
Ever since the return of Hiram
Johnson from a trip to California
the isolation bloc" consisting of
the original "irreconcilables" who
fought the Versailles treaty plus a
/ few others from the Democratic
/ side of the chamber have constitu-
ted an opposition formidable enough
/ to prevent ratification of the four
power Pacific treaty as well as 9TH
/ er pacts adopted by the washing
| ton conference. Mr.. Johnson's an
nounced opposition has stiffened
the backs of some of his wayering
/ colleagues. Senator Brandegee, an
/ original irreconcilable. told the
White house the feeling against
meddling in Europe's affairs was
still strong in the senate and that
it was going to be difficult getting
a treaty through which dealt with
Pacific affairs.
Big Question to Come.
President Harding will not, of
course, say publicly that he is re-
fusing to go to Genoa because of
the situation in the senate, but he
is saying that until the Washing
ton conference has completed its
work, there's no use talking about
other international conferences By
completing its work is not meant
merely the adjustment of the main
conference. That's only the begin
ming. 1t means ratification of the
treaties by the senate. For when
the Washington conference ad-
journs it will have reached merely
the same point as the Versailles
peace conference.-the critics then
begin their work of dissection and
analysis. The senate is keeping
quiet until the whole set Of treaties
is submitted Then the biggest
question of all will be answered
whether the executive branch OF
the government under a Republi-
can administration can do any more
in handling the senate on foreign
policy than a Democratic admins
/ tration. The drive for ratification
has not begun, but the first victory
has been won by the isolation bloc

NEXT POPE
Archbishop of Pisa Is Fa-
vored by Italians and
Government.

Rome, Jan. 24.-(By the Asso-
ciated ss.)-While thousands
streamed past the bier of Benedict
XIV, in the Basilica of st. Peters
today to pay reverence TO the dead
prelate, cardinals of the church
were on their way from many for
eign countries to participate in the
election of new pope.
The brief intervals before the
conYening of the conclave, which
has been set for Feb. 2, will, how
ever, prevent some of them-notably
Cardinal Dougherty of Philadelphia,
and the Canadian and Brazilian car
dinals-from arriving in time to
vote, unless the election is unduly
prolonged.
Cardinal O'Connell of Boston has
cabled that he is taking passage to-
day, and has a possible chance to
enter the election, providing the
new pope is not chosen on the first
ballot.
There is no outstanding foreign
er among the candidates for the
high post, but Cardinal Maffi, arch
bishop of Piza, is prominently men
toned as the governments choice.
Others being discussed are Car
diI.al Lafntaine of Venice, and Car
dinal Ratti, OF Milan.
Inter Benedict Wednesday,
The interment of Benedict has
been fixed tentatively for tomorrow
the usual period of lying in state
being curtailed because of the
prelate's wish that his body be not
embalmed.
While there seems to be no doubt
that the next pope will be an Ital-
ian, the newspapers draw distinc-
ton between Italian popes, express
ing the hope that the next pontifi
may be one who will put an end to
the long difference between the
church and the Italian government
Seemingly for that reason Cardinal
Maffi, archbishop of Piza, is uni
versa1ly favored by the Italians.
The newspaper -Popolo Romano
says 'the candidate TO whom the
government will give all it's sup
port will be Cardinal Maffi, who is
noted for his 'ltalianity."
Government Denies Influence.
Through the Stefani news agency
the Italian government stated today
it was in no way trying to influ-
ence the choice of the next pope
While all legal provisions would be
rigidly enforced, it was said, every
convenience would be placed at the
disposal of the cardinals coming to
Rome, the railroads being given in
structions to facilitate their travel
Observers of the situation are
commenting on the feeling of con-
ciliation that seems to be general
with wishes expressed that past
differences be made up and that
the whole membership of the sec
red college be made welcome guests.
Estimates of the number of per-
sons who filed past the bier of the
pope yesterday range between 200,-
900 and 100000, and it was expect
ed these figures would be largely
exceeded today.
