LEAGUE BROUGHT WORLD COURT INTO EXISTENCE
Association AppIauds Presi- dent On His Enlightened At- titude On U. s. Stand AIoof From Rest Of World

NEW YORK, June 24.-The League of Nations Nonpartisan association tonight addressed a telegram to Pres dent Harding, challenging the Pres ident's statement In his St. Louis speech that the League of Nations Is as dead as slavery" The message was signed by George W. Wicker sham, president of the organizations S council; Everett Colby, chairman of the executive committee, and William Il. Short, executive director.
 There are millions of people In the United States who differ from you" the message read. Some of these are now members of the League of Nations Nonpartisan association and more are joining every day.
 "In the few weeks that have passed since our president. former Justice John Fl. Clarke, made his notable New York speech in favor of joining the League of Nations, those who be- iieve the matter of American mem bership to be still an Issue have cre- ated organizations in 36 states. and large number of additional branches in cities, counties and towns

 You declared on October 2, 1920" the telegram continues, that the League of Nations was already scrapped.' and not worth paying any attention to, nd yo'.r administration began trying to ignore it's existence. But the logic of events has led our government, step by step. to take part in the great humanitarian work that the League of Nations Is doing. and We are now proposing to go into the permanent court of international justice which the league alone was able to bring into existence after suc- cessive administrations had vainly tried since 1897 to do.
 We applaud you for your enlight- cred attitude on these questions and feel certain that the manifest impos- sbility of the United States. standing aloof from the rest of the world. to which you havo lately so feelingly referred. will finally lead our country into full association with the league.
 we are certain that you will not allow your concern for harmony within your party to lead you into the unfortunate position of forget ting your party and personal pledge"

"a crime of undying shame if the

Sun has caused the message to be

foreign gunboats cleared for action
and a decisive step by the Canton
government expected momentarily
Suns message adds:
America was our example when

Plan to Aid Him in Satisfying
His Boss.

In time of war 1t Is easy to suspect
foreigner Of being spy. A large
part of the work Of the intelligence
departments consists in running down
false scents. Sir Basil Thomson, late
director of the special branch at Scot
land Yard, tells in his book, Queer
People," some amusing stories to il
lustrate that truth.
On one occasion a staid couple came
down to denounce q waiter in one Of
the large hotels and brought docu-
mentary evidence with them. 1t was
menu with rough sketch plan in
pencil made on the back. They be-
lieved it to be plan of Kensington
Gardens with the palace buildings
roughly delineated by an oblong figure.
They had seen the waiter in the act
of drawing the plan at an unOccupied
table.
l sent for him and found before me
a spruce little Swiss with his hair cut
so that it looked like brush. Much
astonished, he gave me frank ac-
count Of all his movements. and then
l produced the plan. He gazed at it
a moment and then burst out laugh
ing.

Yes monsieur, I made it, and then /

LOCAL PEOPLE
FAVOR FIGHT
F0RELAX RATE
Will Oppose Reduction II
Tariff on Flax, for Pr0tec-
tion of b. S. Farmers

A number of Bismarck business
men, meeting with U. S. Senator f.
F. Ladd in the, parlors of the Nc
Kenzie hotel last evening, discussed
the flax and wheat question and leg
islative matters of particular inter-
est to Bismarck. The local men de-
cided to join in the fight against a
decrease on the flax tariff, and to
lay the matter before the Associa-
tion of Commerce. Similar action
has been taken by commercial bodies
in Fargo, Valley City and jamestown,
and at a dinner given Senator Ladd
in. Mandan Saturday night the same
position was taken. Senator 'Ladd
goes from here to Minot on the same
matter. .,
The. flax situation was explained
by the Senator both in the confer
ence and at the public meeting at
the Auditorium yesterday afternoon.
He said that the flax crop could be
increased 400 percent before .domes-
tic needs were equalled. The Un-
derwood Democratic tariff cut the
tariff on flax to 20 cents bushel
and 10 cents gallon on inseed oil.
Then flax began to be Improbable
because of importations. The Re-
publicans, when they came into con-
troll again, raised the tariff .on flax
but left the tariff on oil the same.
The last tariff bill, the Fordney- Nc
Cumber bill, placed a tariff of 40
cents a bushel on flax and about 81
cents on linseed oil. With this pro-
lection flax has commanded fairly
good price, the senator said.
A big lobby fought the tariff, and
has asked the tariff commission to
reduce the tariff SO percent. A
hearing has been granted but no
date has been set.
president Coolidge is interested"
Senator Ladd said. II had confer
ence with him last week. He said
you may tell the people of the North
west that / do not want to see the
tariff ON agricultural products, flax,
oils, etc. reduced if it will hurt the
farmer; rather would see it in
creased if it would heTp."s
Regarding the tariff on wheat Sem
ator Ladd referred to the drawback
provision, under which millers may
import foreign wheat, mix it with 50
percent American wheat, and export
it for sale abroad without paying the
tariff. He opposed, this. Congress
man Burtness, he said, was prepar-
ing bill to increase the tariff on
wheat and Senator Ladd thought it
ought to be supported.
