LEAGUE OF NATIONS
 REMEMBERS WILSON
General Secretary Makes State ment for Members Of Secretariat
"GREAT LEADER PASSES"
Deceased "StOOd in Councils of Ex- hausted Nations as Champion of New Hope and vision'-work Goes On.
By The Associated Presg.

] By The Associated Press
 Geneva, Feb. Sir Eric Drum mond, general secretary of the league of nations, issued today on behalf of his colleagues of the secretariat the following statement on the death of Woodrow Wilson:
 Nowhere in the world will the death of Mir. Wilson awake stronger emotions than amongst those at Geneva who while he was lain strick- en on his sick bed have been privi- legged to take part directly in the at tempt to translate into practice the high principles of international CO., operation and coneiliation for which he may truly be said to have given his life. a
 Undoubtedly the greatest of our spiritual leaders has passed away, a man who had the opportunity grant, ed to few indeed of standing at a crossroads in history and pointing out new way for his fellow men.
 Champion of New Hope.
 MT. Wilson came to Europe at the end of the worlds most desperate war anu oloOu III tilt VI ta'S exhausted nations as the acknowl- edged champion of a new hope and a new vision. In the main Mir. Will son triumphed, for his hope for an association of nations, for an ordered method of arbitration, for a perma- nent agency of peace, were inscribed as part of the treaties. Slowly at first, but with increasing faith, other nations turned towards this new ideal while Mir. Wilson himself was making his last fight at home.
 With that struggle we on this side have no concern. While the non- entry Of the United States caused a serious dislocation Of the original ideas of the league, it shortly bes came manifest. first, that an interna- tioNal association was none the less essential al this moment of. history. and. secondly, that such an associa- ton could perform useful service even if seriously handicapped by events beyond its control
 Work Gone On.
 "So the work has gone on, ever in- crcasing in scope and importance. and bringing always more nations and wider interests about the common council table. The passing of Mr. Wilson. while taking away the great advocate of international co-opera- ton. will provide duo and sober in- spiration for those of us at Geneva who are most insufficienily, but 10 the best of our powers. attempting to carry out the ideals which he set.
 Mfr. Wilson has gone, but the work to which he gave his life has only just begun"

DELEGATES APPROVE ! COOLIDGE'S SCHEME.
Wheat Farmers Believe Plan in Proposed Bill Would Work
TEN MILLION INVOLVED
Northwestern Agric,Ilturists Adopt Resolutions in Favor of Adoption of sfcNary- Haugen Act About to Come Before Congress.

Washington, Feb. 5.-President Coolidge responding today to d rep resentations of agricultural members Of the northwestern farm and bank conference, declared he hoped justi- on wheat would result from the pres ent investigation of the wheat duty by the tariff commission.
 Delegates directly representing ag- riculture in the conference met today and later presented to President Cool idge resolutions endorsing the sub stance and basic principles" of the MeNary-Haugen bill to restore farm purchasing power and the Norbeck- Burtness measure for government credits to promote diversification of production in the wheat area.
 We express our appreciation of the projected financial and credit ad- iustments by the banking. industrial and commercial groups, outlined at this conference" the delegates added. We tender them our cooperation"
 Both bills are pending before con- gress.
 Ten Million Capital.
 Funds to provide the s10.000, 900 capital for the corporation are prac- tically guaranteed, Secretary Hoover said, although subscriptions from the industrial and commercial interests pledged 10 its creation have not yet been entered. It will be the object of the corporation to conduct its en- terprise without profit
 Its purpose will be to take the widest and most generous view in rendering aid," Mir. Hoover said. Its primary purpose will be to assist the farmer situation directly. It will have the full backing of the war finance corporation and consequently will be able to obtain many times its capital stock for use"
 Financial Troubles Bcttercd.
 Functioning of the corporation will not depend upon action by congress, Mir. Hoover added. He expressed the opinion that the action taken by the coneerence had gone far toward elim- mating the immediate danger in the wheat growing area where depressed prices havo oceasioned financial trou- bles during recent months.
