WASHINGTON, April 21.-Lord
Cecil presented directly today to

the League of Nations, its achieve
ments and its hopes. G.
The noted British exponent of the
league, who for nearly a month has
advocated the League cause in pub
lie addresses in the United States
had breakfast with Senator Borah
one of the leaders of the "irreconcil-
able" groups in the Senate, and then
went to the White House, where he
had half an hours conference with
President Harding.
The impression made by Lord Rob-
ert,s presentation on the President
was in no wise revealed. the White
House issuing no statement after the
call and Lord Robert combining his
comment to the assertion that he had
had a pleasant discussion with Mr..
Harding. Senator Borah, however,
issued a formal statement, which
while not directly setting forth the
impression left by the conversation,
declared the senator had told Lord
Robert that the vast majority of the
American people were uncomprom mis-
ingly opposed to joining any plan or
league which would involve America
in European politics.

POTATO ACREAGE
To Be REDUCED
PAINTINGS INDICATE NEAR ?,
PER CENT-DAH0 SPUDS
SELL FOR MORE

Chicago-(A. P.)-An effect of last
seasons exceedingly heavy potato
crop, in excess of all ordinary re-
uuirements, was seen Wednesday in
reports that II southern states had
decreased their acreage for early po-
tatoes 90 per cent. Nine intermedi-
ate sections were reported to have
made similar reductions.
Of last seasons stock that went
into storage, 10000 carloads deter
iorated by March 1, until no longer
fit for food or seed. Despite that in
road on the available supply, reports
indicated probably 10000 carloads
were being held for market between
the first of the month and June 80.
Between March 1 and June 30, last
year. $4,000 carloads of old potatoes
were shipped to market, and in 1921
only 10000 cars were shipped dur
ing the same months.
Large Supply in Storage
Despite the exceedingly large sup
ply vet in storage, and that an ave-
rage of 700 cars dialy has been ship
ped to market this month, last week S
potato market advanced sharply,
jumps of 20 to 80 cents a hundred
pounds occurring as far west as Wis
consin. Minnesota showed a gain of
10 to 20 cents, and Idaho cash track
prices advanced 80 cents for Rurals
and so cents for Russets, the two
varieties closing at 70 to IS cents
and S1.10 to $1.25 respectively.
Damage to early potatoes by cold
weather decreased acreage in GER
tain states and the fact that heavy
movements from Florida will not be
gin until about April 20, it was be
lieved would give northern stock 2
greater outlet Some dealers held
