Meetings now in progress among
ship operators in the west coast Con-
ference, with the reported purpose of
agreeing on rates on dried and canned
fruits from Pacific ports to Europe
hold only an academic interest" for
the shipping board, it was said Off
cally at Washington. The emergency
fleet corporation withdrew year ago
from the traffic which would be af-
fected, it was explained, and will not
re-enter it so long as adequate Amer

A decline of 26 per cent in the av-
erage value of plowed lands through
out the country is shown in a statis-
tical survey made by the Department

compared with $69.S9 on the same date
last year, $S3.78 in 1921, and $9001 in
1920.
The first operation under the Anglo
American debt funding agreement
took place, when Great Britain made
a payment of $4,02S,000 to the United

serve bank of New York. This first
payment was made to reduce the total
British debt to $4,600,0000 the
amount upon which the funding agree
ment was predicated.
Modification of the national defense
nlans resulting from agreements
reached by the arms conference are to

the canal as prime link in the de-
fense chain which includes the navy,
army, merchant marine and the ma
tional industrial machine.

tary Davis of the war department and

ceptionally meritorious service during
the war Approval of the new list

BUSINESS DEAD.
IN RUSSIA
Southern Part Presents No
Opportunities for Amer
lean Business Men

London, Sept. 10-South Russia at
present offers no golden opportuni-
ties for American business men, ac-
cording to John H. Lang, of Seattle,
who recently passed through this
city on his way home after 10 months
in Odessa and other Black Sea ports.
where he was in charge Of port oper-
atoms for the American Relief Ad-
ministration.,
"There is practically no trade on
the Black Sea-" said Mr.. Lang. even
Greek and Armenian traders have
given up in despair, and everyone
who knows the Black Sea realizes
that when these traders find unsur-
mountable obstacles to commerce,
there must be something serious the
matter.
"The new economic policy of the
Soviet was heralded as long ex-
pected loosening of government con-
troll, and when it was inaugurated
great hopes that new era was
dawning in communistic Russia. But
: such hopes were soon dashed.
"After shopkeepers had opened
their stores with what little stocks
they could get, they found that the
government officials were waiting
only for trade to be resumed to i'm
pose ruinous taxes. These taxes
. made business impossible for shop
keepers, for importers and exporters
alike"
Harvest prospects in South Russia
are excellent, according to Mr.. Lang
. who said that nobody in .Russis
I should go hungry this winter.

Mexico To MOdify

Mexico City, Sept. 1O.-Foreigners
in Mexico view with mixed feelings
the proposal Of group of congress
men to reform Article 33 of the con-
stitution. Being thirty -threed," the
popular way of Expressing the oper-
alton Of said article, means being
expelled without hearing or trial
from Mexico on orders from the
president as "a pernicfous foreign

Proposals for reform include the
granting of hearing to candidates
for, the 33d degSee; but, in case Of
conviction, the serving of the cor

N0NPARTISANS
DO NOT AGREE
AT CONFER NCE
Farmer-LabOr Meeting Closes
With Plans Still In
complete

Minneapolis, Sept. 10.-After an
entire day and evening Of meetings
and conferences the unofficial Farm
er-Labor> conference called to effect
compact working organization FORK
party activities closed its session
late Saturday with the hopes of it's
sponsors only half fulfilled.
The farmer labor reorganization
movement included the following re-
suits:
Accordance by the unofficial con-
ference which included the labor
group and other affiliated groups ex-
ccpting the Nonpartisan League, OF
the principles of a new organization
to be known as the "Tarmer-Labor
federation" composed Of clubs with
dues-paying membership, and state
committee comprising delegates from
each congressional district.
Refusal of the Nonpartisan League
to participate in the conference or to
be bound by any action taken by the
conference.
As explained to the farmer-labor
conference, the approval of the
"farmer-labor federation" movement
is not final, because the. plan must be
ratified by the different elements
which are allowed membership un-
der it's constitution.
Despite every effort Of the labor
group to get the Nonpartisan
Eeaguers interested, the latter organ
ization adjourned it's own conference
without taking action upon the fed
Grafton plan.

Sergeyeff Zensky, one of Russia's

To an Associated Press correspon-

lures during the numerous changes
of regimes and the famine year in
the Crimea.
1.-The famine here was very acute
he said. "The, land had been devas-
tated by civil war and numerous ris-
ings. 1t completed the ruination, and
carried away large portion of the
