Secretary of Foreign Affairs
Outlines Stand in Regard
to Liquor on Vessels In
side l2-Mile Limit.
Is Delicate Questio n
By Associated Press.

London, June 2s.-Marquis Curzon,
secretary for foreign affairs, made 3
long and important statement in the
house of lords today in reply to LORD
Birkenhead, who called attention TO
the seizure by the United States OF
liquor on British vessels.
The secretary declared there was
no chance Of Great Britain agreeing
in any circumstances whatever to tho
proposal that the United States AL
thorities be given the right TO search
vessels for liquor within the 12-mile
limit. The government. he sdded, was
fully alive to the Importance Of the
case, and all channels of diplomacy
were being utilized 70 find an exit
from a situation which was undoubt-
edly disagreeable and ought not to be
allowed to continue.
Lord Curzon explained that IL was q
difficult and delicate matter, raising
grave issues in both international
law and policy. The British govern
ment was not concerned with Amer
lean prohibition, which was a matter
of Domestic policy. Neither would he
discuss the Interpretation Of the Unit
ed States supreme court on that
country's laws. But il was concerned
with the trea tment meted out TO Brit
ish ships in United States territorial
waters and the degree in which that
treatment conforned TO or departed
from international practice.

Plan to Cut

President Declares Present
Need Is TO Shorten Bridge
Between Producer and
Consumer.
Would Help Both Sides

Idaho Falls. Idaho. June 2S.-De-
is to shorten the bridge between
producer and consumer, President
Harding, in an address here today,
proposed plan of cooperation
among consumers, financed in part,
at least through carefully organ
lied and supervised adaptation of the
principles Of the savings bank or the
building and loan society.
Il believe the suggestion is worthy
Of careful examination and considera-
tion," the president asserted. II am
convinced that it's discussion will be
fruitful of good results and re
minder 10 some who are disposed to
take unreasonable tolls from both
the consuming and the producing
public. that this public has the right,
the power and the ability to devise
means to protect ITSELF
The president further said that as
a result of studies and Investigations
he hoped to be able Ito recommend
for the consideration of the congress
measures which shall represent a be-
ginning along this line"
Should Take Up Slack.
'One Of the most engrossing prob
lens of our time. confronting all
countries and all societies, is the ex-
orbitant cost OF living" the president
said. I'VE realize that the real
producer, under our elaborate and
costly system of distribution, is not
permitted a fair share Of his product
for his own use and enjoyment. We
have become convinced that somehow
our system of distribution has grown
too cumbersome, too costly, too com
plex, too indirect, too unrelated TO
tho interests of real producer and
legitimate consumer. We must find
methods to take up as much az pos
sible of the slack in the long line be
tween producer and consumer: TO give
the producer a better share IN that
which ne furnishes TO the community
and 10 enable the consumer to meet
bis requirements at reasonable cost.
ITO this end many experiments
have been made in cooperative pro
duction. transportation, distribution
and purchasing. To a great extent.

Fulfillment Is Held Near
BY staff Correspondent.

HoldreEe, Neb., June 2S.-'The Cen
association project won the enthusi-
astic support of six representatives.
and one senator who stopped off here
Thursday to view demonstrations
which proved the great benefit of
additional water on the soil in this
part Of the state.
The congressional party, bound for
home from a trip to Alaska. was in
duced to spend two hours in Holdrege
nd the vicinity by Burlington rail-
ad officials. who ran a special train
enable the party to make the
tstoyover.
c. W. McConaughy of Holdrege,
president OF the association, outlined
benefits to soil and crop production
which the project will make possible.
BY the time the special train had
reached Lincoln every congressman
in the party had expressed himself
as being heartily in favor of the
project.
Best Feature Of Trip.
Senator Joseph Robinson of
Arkansas. minority leader of the sen.
ate. declared the stopover was the
most interesting feature of the trip to
and from Alaska.
THE plan to store the flood water
of the Platte river in the subsoil of
Phelps. Franklin, Adams and kear-
ney counties is my idea of the proper
kind of conservation" said Senator
Robinson. 1T means that this land
will produce much more, and 1t also
means that these flood waters which
are menace to our southern states
will be tanned.
I'm thoroughly in favor Of this
modified system of irrigation in this
semiarid country. There may be
some opposition from the states which
depend entirely on irrigation for
crops, and it may be necessary TO get
some modification Of the reclamation
act, to permit an appropriation to be

should be done"
