that it had always disapproved acts
Of violence which endanger the effec-
tiveneSS Of the passive resistance, and,
in order to comply with the wishes of
the holy father, 1t was denouncing
saboteurs as traitors to the cause. 1t
declined, however, to comply with the
demand of the Labor party and con-
slider the saboteurs as plain criminals.
ITO THE astonishment Of the allied
l. diplomats in Lausanne-and it
will surprise most AmericanS-Minis-
ter Joseph G. Grew demanded for the
United States a share of the 100000
Turkish gold pounds which were de-
posted in Constantinople by Germany
and were seized by the allies immedi-
ately after the signing of the Murdos
armistice in 1918. The money was
long ago split up among the allies and
the Balkan nations that had helped
them, and Mr.. Crews demand was the
first intimation they had that America
considered 1t had any claim on a share.
The Turks are becoming increasingly
indignant over the proposition that
Constantinople shall not be evacuated
by the allies until every question at
issue, even outside the treaty, has been
settled. Ismet Pasha has instructions
to insist on immediate evacuation Of
the city, and the cabinet at Angora is
again seriously talking Of resumption
Of warfare. Ismet has formally de-
manded that the conference speedily
remove the remaining obstacles to
peace.
THE council Of the League OF Ma
L tions, In session again in Geneva,
has begun an investigation Of the
French administration of the Saar, de-
manded by the British. M. Hanotaux
protested in vain.
Because it automatically includes
Russia, proposal to extend the Wash
ington naval treaties to nations not
represented In the Washington confer
ence was postponed to the next meet
ing Of the council. England Is not yet
ready for formal dealings with the
soviet government. The naval treaty
was laid before the French chamber
Wednesday, with recommendation for
it's ratification with reservations.
DRESIDENT HARDING sailed for
Alaska from Tacoma after rest
in the Yellowstone National park, par
ticipation in the Oregon trail celebra-
tion at Meacham, Ore, and an Inde-
pendence day address at Portland de-
voted to the immigration question. He
defended the restriction placed by con-
gress on the admission of aliens, and
said: "I would like to acclaim the
day when there is no room in America
anywhere for those who defy the law
and when those who seek our hospt-
tality for the purpose of destroying
our institutions should be depOrted or
held securely behind prison walls"
RAY SILVER, Washington repre-
" sentative of the American Farm
Bureau federation, has scheme to
double the price Of wheat, and has put
it up to President Harding and Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace. This de-
sirable-for the farmer-thing can be
accomplished, he says, If, with the aid
Of the new warehOusing and interme-
date credits act, the farmers are au-
thorized to store on their farms
minimum of 20O,OOO,OOO bushels of
wheat as q means of avoiding putting
on the market an excessive surplus.
In his telegram to Secretary Wallace,
Mr.. Silver said: "As we have in pres
ent crop and carry over, approximate
ly 1,OOO,OOO,0OO bushels of wheat, with
home consumption of five bushels
per capita or 550,0O0,0OO bushels, and
seed needs Of 100000 bushels more,
and a possible export outlook Of only
150OOO,OO0 to 2O0,0O0,000 bushels, can
you not get the President to advise
the farmers to avail themselves at this
time of the new warehOusing and In
termediate credit acts and withdraw
from the visible supply for this year
a minimum of 2OO,OOO,0OO bushels Of
wheat by warehousing, under your SD
pervision, that quantity on the farm,
financed through the intermediate
credits banks and not to be distributed
during this consumptive year but to be
carried forward to augment next years
crop at harvest time.
"In this way it will give the farm
ers an opportunity to adjust their
acreage In the fall and spring seed
ings so that no unduly large surplus
need exist at that time. Such
move would, in my opinion, allow CO.
