Geneva, Aug, lS,-lFar the first lime in the history, of the league of na- ti0ns lhe heads of the three great European powers will attend the as, semhly which opens September l. Not only have Premiers Macdonald, Her riot and Mussolini announced their intention of coming, hut if is expected all three will make important ai- dresses, The lesser powers are eNr peeted to send their foreign minisirs,
 In view of the increased eollabora, ton or the United States, more par, tieularly with reference to opium and matters affecting the problem Of re. dnctlon of armaments. the question is being asked at Geneva whether there is any likelihood of Washington send, ing observers either official or unoffi- cial.
 It is believed in Geneva that dls- armament will constitute the great subject of this years assembly debate. As one Swiss paper put lt. England's recent rcpudintion of the league of na {. tions' provisional draft treaty of mu- tnal assistance has resulted in the ef- fectual burial of that treaty. IL will he exhumed. undoubtedly, but only to serve as the basis of q general inquiry dedicated 10 the finding of some more suitable arrangement for the reduce ton of armaments.
 Can security for France and Bel ginm be made possible through the mechanism of the league? Can defi- mite zones Of territory between par ticular countries be demilitarised :? Can special international frontiers, as for instance the borderland between France and Germany. he subjected to international control through the league of nations, as means of pre- venting future war? Can the world court of justice at the Hague be utilized more largely as means of preventing hostilities when danger of war arises in the future? What sys- tenn can be devised to secure a Iimi tation of armanents which will have the collaboration of the United States?
 These are some of the questions which men are turning over in their minds as the assembly approaches.
 It it felt here that the great diff culty to the attainment of anything practical in disarmament through the machinery of the League of Nations Is the absence of the United States from the league. This difficulty was clearly pointed out by Premier Mac Donald in his recent communication rejecting the provisional draft treaty of mutual assistance.
 Another subject of preliminary as- sembly discussion is England's reiec- ton of any plan such as is contained in the pact of mutual assistance, to make the league council an executive body with very large powers in the control of military forces sent to oper- ate against aggressive states. England wants the councils prerogatives to be kept merely advisory, pointing out that under article 16 of the covenant. the council can only recommend ac- tion, while even under article 10 1t can only advise.
 The trend Of thought here is that the league must not seek to thrust its

are doing today, and they Know that

Calls 1t False Promise.

ago that. neither individually nor
collectively, can he lift himself up
by his own boot straps. Ability to
do so is what the McNary-
bill promises him, and it is a false
promise, incapable of fulfillment. |
admit that this scheme might create
an artificially high price for wheat
for one year. But what about the
second and third years? The guar
anteed high price would bring in all
the marginal acreage, our eXportab BILE
surplus would double and treble, and
the structure would come topping
down of it's own weight.
What the farmer needs is de-
crease in wheat acreage, not its in
crease through artificial stimula ton
When the Wheat crop is reduced to
the volume of American consumption,
the tariff on wheat will operate to
protect the home market, and the
farmer will be able to sell his wheat
at an American price instead of at
the world price. An American price
for wheat can be obtained in no other
way, for the time never will come
again when the American farmer can
grow and sell wheat at a profit in
world competition.
Cutting Down Wheat Acreage
That is the process which now is
under way in Kansas and, / am re-
liably informed, generally throughout

reduced her wheat acreage from Il
peak of 100000 acres to less than
