"BETRAYAL" OF SEC. WILBUR
GIVES AMAZING EXCERPTS
FROM HIS ALLEGED SPEECH
Ry United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Ad.
ministratiOn circles today hummed
with discussion of the alleged !" be
travail" of Secretary of the Navy
Wilbur, by Senator Caraway, Dem
ocrat, of Arkansas, who read to a
local Davis Bryan club a speech he
said, Wilbur was to have made at
Denver last Saturday night.
Portaying Wilbur through the
speech as having been an advocate
of the league of nations and apollo
gizing for the Republican foreign
administration and with having said
that. the negro question is the sole
issue between the two old parties,
Caraway charged that President
Coolidge had recalled Wilbur from
the coast to prevent delivery of the
address.
Wilbur today refused to discuss
the incident in any way.
~ will not discuss it. / will not
be drawn into any controversy
about it. If you want to speculate
on the ethics of the act you may,
but ] will not Wilbur said.
Caraway said he considered the
document one of the most amazing
he had ever read.
Lauded Wilson
"Not only was it plea of guilty
for the Republican foreign policy,
but it made out President Coolidge
as having opposed the senate in
vcstigations, said Caraway.
Among passages quoted by Car
away from the speech were:

league. believe that if we went
into the league Immediately upon
cessation of hostilities, we might
save Europe from bankruptcy. /

already suffered all the disadvan-
tages which would have arisen from

MASS MEETS FOR
LETT UCE MEN
BEING ARRANGED

Plans are being arranged by the
agricultural extension service for
two lettuce growers mass meeting to
be held Friday and Saturday, Octo-
ber and 4. These meetings which
will be held on ranches of lettuce
growers will be for the purpose OF
discussing some or the very serious
problems facing the lettuce indus
try in Imperial Valley.
At the present time arrangements
have been made for two meetings,
one in the north end near Brawley
and one for the growers in the south
end Of the valley, and will be held
somewhere near Ell Centre.
Not only will some of the best
and most experienced growers in
the valley talk on and discuss the
best methods of growing and mark
eting lettuce, but state and govern
ment experts will talk on lettuce
diseases, insect pests and their con
troll, fertilization of lettuce and
many other important problems.
Growers all over the valley are
evidencing much interest in these
meetings, due to the fact that many
realize that with the large acreage
now planted, the finest quality OF
lettuce will have to be produced in
order to be markesed and bring a
profit.

France Admits
BY HENRY WOOD +
United Press Staff Correspondent)

GENEVA, Sept. 24.-The cause of
world disarmament under the auspi-
ces Of the league of nations has
been immeasurably advanced by
Germany's s decision to enter the
league at an early. date, leaders Of
all delegations including even the
5 French, declared today.
The moment was most opportune,
league spokesmen agreed.
Inclusion of the late enemy in the
general arbitration, security and dis
armament pact now being prepared
will increase immensely the chances
f.f its success, it was felt.
AS Germany already is disarmed
she has "nothing to lose' while her
agreement to accept obligatory Or
bitration will strengthen greatly the
feeling Of security in Europe.
1t is expected that Germany s de-
eision win hasten Turkeys appli-
cation and also force a complete
change in Russia s attitude towards
the league. {ls.
Already the guarantees which
Germany will ask of the league
council before joining are being dis
cussed.
France will not oppose Ger.
many's entrance into the league in
the regular way but will oppose Wig
Orously making any of the conces-
sions demanded by the Marx gov
ernment.
Fethi Bey, representative of the
Angora government, told the Unit
ed Press Turkey will apply for
membership in the league in Novem-
Der as soon as the national assem-
bly, had discussed and approved the
project to which there is no oppo-
sition.

membership and probably will. be
admitted during the present session
