REMINDS BOTH PARTIES OF
CAMPAIGN PLANkS

Washington-Sen Borah of Ida
no, n leader Of the Republican irrecon-
ciIables in the Senate fight over the
treaty of Versailles and its League of
Nations covenant, inaugurated his
campaign of opposition to the admins
trution proposal that the United States
accept membership in the permanent
Court of International Justice, the
world arbitration tribunal set up under
the league.
In a statement setting forth his
views, the Idaho senator declared that
"the Republican party. in asserting
that the United States can 90 into the
league court and stay out of the league
Is taking position which will bring
down upon it the moral condemnation
of every one.
Il think the proposition that you
can go into the league court and still
continue to be against the league, or
stay out of the league, Is the most re-
markable proposition ever presented
to the public" Mr.. Borah added: ut
Is an impossible proposition. 1t would
never be suggested If political exlgency
did not seem to require It
Issuance of the statement was the
foremost development in the world
court discussions, which continued to
engage many of the members of the
Senate who are in Washington. Sew

among them Senator's Lodge of Massa-
chusetts, the Republican leader, and
Watson Of Indiana, but from these con-
ferenCcs nothing developed to Indicate
definitely the trend of sentiment
In addition to Senator Borah's state
ment, views on the proposal were set
forth by Senators McKellar, Democrat,
Tennessee, and Mccormick, Republic
an, Illinois.
MISUNDERSTANDING President
Harding in his contention that the
United States should participate In
the permanent court of international
! justice, Elihu Root told the American
| Society of International Law that the
| question presented by the President S
message TO the Senate was really only
Il question of moral support.
"The amount of contribution to-
wards the support of the court to be
| determined by our own Congress
would be negligible" asserted Mr.
| Root. ave undertake to do nothing
and to give nobody authority or pow
er to do anything to us. The ques
ton is merely whether we shall Civ,
our moral approval to the establish

our government has been urging fol

Then, in closing his address, HI

Il wish to express my warm agree
ment with what Senator Borah ha
recently said about outIawry of war
To that end l sincerely hope that thu

the greatest health tonic they ever
took. There Is no questioning the
hygeinic value of a little tract OF
land, a hoe, rake and spade and an
hour or two a day working the
combination. That we have q
membership Of AIS at present is
evidence that the interest in truck
gardening has not died out. and
now we are out to make 1t spread
in time to take advantage of the
coming spring and summer.
Washington Is setting the coun'
try examples in all other directions
why not in home farm gardeningi
Everybody cannot play golf, tennis
or go fox chasing, but about every
man or woman in the city can get
into the farm truck raising game
and be better off all around foY
doing it. Take it from me there IL
nothing quite as satisfying as sit
ting down to a meal and knowing
that you are eating 'spuds' you
raised and that you plucked your

Selling of produce raised by club
members, Captain Stulz insisted
would not be permitted. Giving II
to friends might be sanctioned, how
ever. to prevent wasting of surplus
but that is as far as the club will
permit it's members to go in dis
tributing produce.
During the past there were nu
merous complaints by city gardeners
of looting of crops. This is to be
prevented by the club, which will
this year keep a Waterman on the
club farm at all hours.

cal benefit derived from getting
back to nature by becoming a pro-
Queer of farm products.
During the war hundreds OF
Washingtonians became active in
farm gardening. While the incen-
tive to grow your own food was
urgent the interest never. Jagged.
With the ending of the war many
Of the erstwhile farmers, however,
gave up their agricultural efforts.
It is the plan Of the club to re-
kind1e this interest and by pre-
cept and example prove the value
of practicing the economic activi-
ties. which did not lose their value,
they declare, with the signing Of
the armistice.
Seek Permanent Tract.
Among the possibilities foreseen
by members Of the Potomac Gar
den Club is a permanent municipal
garden tract Of extended area with
it's spacious hothouses where win
ter gardening can be carried on,
with it's storage, plant for surplus
crops, Its heating plant for soil
warming and moisture, all under
IA management organized to carry
the activity through from year to
year, with a possibility that dur
ing short crop years, the surplus
crops should be made available for
general consumption. Those who
have conceived an ideal farming
unit Of this character insist it is
feasible, and point to the successful
operation Of such units in vari-
GUS sections Of the country by com.
panies operating along industrial
lines which are earning enormous
profits.
Truck gardening by city resi-
dents has just started in this coun-
try" said Captain Stulz, president
of the Potomac Garden Club.
There Is no reason know of why,
when properly organized, each city
should not have it's army of farm,
ers, all personally interested In his
own little garden tract, united in a
general organization which, under
proper management, should not ac-
complish exactly what the big
farming units are doing for profit.

HARDING works
ON DEBT
PACT
Prepares to Transmit Terms
Of Settlement to
Congress.
BY III. k. REYNOLDS.
InfAxmakinnnI Nara Rarrice.

Assured by Administration lead
ers OF both the House and Senate
that the Anglo American debt fund
ing agreement would be ratified
promptly, once II 10 formally pre-
scented, President Harding isolated
himself at the White House today
to make the final draft of the
special message transmitting the
terms Of the settlement to Con-
gress.
The President hoped to have the
message ready tomorrow, but was
still uncertain whether he would
send IL to the Capitol to be read in
both houses, or would deliver it
In person 70 a joint session.
COnfers with Leaders.
Denying himself to all callers
with the exception of those whose
weeks ago, the President planned
to study the debt terms without in
terruption during the day and to
discuss the legislative situation
with his Congressional Meutenants.
Congressman Mondell of Wyofn-
ing, the Republican leader Of the
House: Congressman Campbell OF
Kansas, chairman Of the House
Rules Committee, and Congressman
Green of Iowa, acting chairman of
the Ways and Means Committee,
were expected to call at the White
House to be acquainted with the
plans Of the American Debt Fund
ing Commission for the ratification
OF the British agreement.
Prompt Report Expected.
AS soon as the agreement is pre-
scented by the President the resolu-
ton OF ratification, or the bill to
amend the deht-funding act, will be
referred to the Ways and Means
Committee of the House, where 1t
will be promptly acted upon and re-
ported out for general consideration.
When the resolution gets into the
House itself. 1t win have privileged
status and viii be taken UP under a
rule which will prohibit the intro
duction OF amendments.
This procedure was decided upon
by Chairman Campbell, of the Rules
Committee, and other Administra-
ton leaders to head off proposals for
q soldier bonus as an amendment to
the debt agreement.
It was apparent today that there
would be some slight opposition to
the terms Of the agreement under
So, 000, 200, 900 during the next sixty
years, But President Harding was
assured by party leaders in Con.
gress that the criticism would be
largely academic and that approval
could be expected before the end Of
the session on March 4.
Officials Answer Objections.
Objections will be made on the
ground that the interest rate to be
paid by Great Britain IL lower than
that now being paid by the United
States on Liberty bonds and other
internal obligations, but Treasury
officials said today that the Govern
ment in the long run. would sustain
no loss because the British pay
ments would be coming in for several
years after most of the Lib rty
bonds had been retired.

Rolls.
By GEORGE FRANKLIN.

Home gardening as an economic
activity is to be given national
emphasis here. Thousands Of city
residents in all sections Of the
country cut down the high cost
Of living and equalized food short
ages during the war by cultivating
vacant city lots and adjacent
tracts Of land. The lesson thus
learned has not been lost nor will
it be neglected in Washington If
the thrifty members Of the Pc
tomac Garden Club can help it.
Incidentally, through the proper
organization Of its coming spring
and summer activities, it plans TO
set an example which can be
profitably followed by similar
clubs throughout the country.

The individual garden plots are

club now has q membership OF 40
and has started a drive to bring the
membership up to 900, as that num-
Der of members can be provided with
