COOLIDGE CONFERS
WITH c. s. BARRETT
ON FARM PROBLEMS
BY THEODORE TILLER
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
4O9 Evans Building,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Show-
ing further concern over the agri-
cultural situation, including the
ravages of the boil weevll in south
ern cotton fields. President Cool
idge conferred here Saturday after
noon for more than an hour with
Charles S. Barrett, of Georgia, pres
ident of the National Farmers
union.
Mr.. Barrett, who went to the
White House at the invitation of
the president, has just returned
here from an extended tour of ag-
ricultural sections in the south and
middle west.
The president asked Mr.. Barrett
to take lunch with him at the White
House on Sunday, and the confer
ence over agricultural conditions
will be continued at that time.
Mr.. Barrett told President Cool
dge, in substance, that while the
farmers of the country are not in
clined towards paternalism, present
conditions in certain sections are
such as to cause widespread and
insistent sentiment for more lib
eral agricultural assistance from
the federal government.
Mr.. Barrett made particular reel
tation of conditions in the cotton
belt, calling attention to the de-
struction wrought by the boil Vice.
vii. He urged the president to
recommend to congress legislation
which would enable the government
to supply at a nominal cost, cotton
farmers with all necessary quaint
ties of calcium arsenate, an impor
tant adjunct in combating the
weevil, expressing the belief that
this would go far towards bringing
about relief to that section.
"a great saving and increased
production could be effected in
that way" he said.
Sunday the farm official will give
the president first-hand story of
conditions in the west, as found
personally by him, and contained in
reports filed by members of his or
ganization.

ENDANCER|NG PLAN
French Embassy in WASH
ington Receives Note From
Premier Poincare for
Transmission to Hughes

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-(By the
Associated Press. 1.-The latest move
TO enlist American aid in solving
the reparations puzzle, which began
so auspiciously, now has come to a
stage where even those who spon-
sored it most staunchly are eX,
tremely uncertain Of the outcome.
Like every other recent effort to
bring American influence to bear to
heal the war wounds of Europe, the
new plan for an expert committee
of inquiry has become entangled in
the delicately adjusted network Of
relationships between London and
Paris, and in such a manner that
the American government cannot at
the moment take any step to eXtri.
cate it.
There still is hope that in the end
q workable plan will emerge from
almost the hourly exchanges that
appear to be passing between the
British and French capitals, and
about which American officials have
but a sketchy and inconclusive
knowledge. such advices as reached
the state department Saturday did
nothing to encourage confidence in
a satisfactory outcome, however,
and news dispatches from abroad
likewise were accepted as adding
little to what has gone before.
In the circumstances officials re-
peated that th0~ were helpless to
do more than look on from dis
lance and await the result.
The views of the United States
are well known to both London and
Paris. and if they are disregarded
in the diplomatic formula finally
worked out, President Coolidge and
his advisers believed that none OF
the blame for failure of the plan
rest on Washington,
From the very first this govern
ment has insisted that a full and
free inquiry into the capacity OF
Germany to pay her reparations bill
must be permitted if any real re-
suits are to be accomplished and
that if any restrictions like those
apparently favored by France are to
circumscribe the investigation, 1t
scarcely will be worth while.

IWI friends of former President
LII Woodrow Wilson are chuckline
over the way he has handled himself
in his row with Senator John K

Shields, one Of the strongest Demo.

campaign, he gave out a statement

demagogues can add nothing to OF
detract anything from it,"
Praise Unappreciated
But Mr.. Wilson evidently didn't ap

Senator whom he felt had failed him

His reply, in letter to Tennessean,
was quick and decisive.
'I regarded Mr.. Shields" the ex

ers."
The letter caused a sensation all
over the State. Senator Shields
waited nearly a week before replying
and then came back with a statement
lnferring that the former president is
no longer responsible for his actions.
Dismissing Mr.. Wilson's mental
alertness as something that needs
no defense, friends point to the fact
that he is still able, despite his
physical handicaps. to give personal
attention to his business. FraiI
health may have left him with a
shattered body at the age of 81 years
but his mind is as keen as a razor
