FARM CONFERENCE

Of Carey-Most Proposals
Now in Effect.

Acting on the recommendation of
Chairman Robert D. Carey of the
Presidents Agricultural Conference,
the Executive has definitely dissolved
the organization. it was announced
last night by the Department of Agri
culture.
The President had considered calling
the conference back into session this
Fall to continue its study of farm
problems, but when Chairman Carey
declared most of the conferences rec

effect. he abandoned the idea

of their assistance in efforts TO i'm

legislation.
Cooperative Movement Aid.
In his letter to the President, Mr.
Carey said the records show that
most of the recommendations made
by the conference have been favor
ably acted upon. The principal leg
islative recommendation of the con-
ference upon which favorable action
was not taken by Congress had to
DO with cooperative marketing
After a thorough survey of the situa-
ton, however, l am confident that
farm leaders, both in and out of
Congress, viii agree upon steps which
should be taken to foster and promote
the cooperative movement.
Il feel that in the Secretary of Ag-
NJ
agriculture is represented by one who
thoroughly understands agricultural
problems and conditions. He served
as a member of the conference and
knows the views of the different mem.

II would seem that the Department OF
Agriculture. as now functioning, is In
position to both assist agriculture
and help In the solution of it's prob

MITCHELL T0ASK
PROOF OF MUT|NY.
Challenges Prosecution to
Show His Utterances Injured
Discipline in the Army.

Col. Mitchell intends to force a
showdown in his trial with regard to
the specific charges that his San An
tonic statements were "prejudicial to
good order and military discipline.
He has. through counsel, already
challenged the prosecution to point
out single instance of insubordina-
tion or mutiny in the ranks either of
the Army or Navy as a result OF his
publication of charges that the War
and Navy Departments are 'crimi-
nally negligent"
Now he has requested the court to
subpoena the Secretary of War and
have him produce from the records OF
his department copies of all reports
made since September (the date OF
the first statement) by the command
ing general or the commanding OFF,
Ger or a member of his command, to
each and every corps area or dis
trict in the United States and foreign
possessions, territories or countries,
showing the state Of good order and
military discipline in his command
No Mutiny In Texas.
Representative Reid. Mitchells spe-
cial attorney, already has scored
point in this connection at the ex-
pense Of a prosecution witness,
Lieut.. Col. Hicks, Of the Sth Corps
Area, in which Col. Mitchell was sta
toned at the time of his attacks on
the military establishments. Col.
Hicks. under pressing cross-examina.
ton by Representative Reid. admitted
to the court that there had been no
laxity Of discipline or lack of good or
der In his command as result or the
Mitchell charges.
Representative Reid, pointing to
the members of the court as com
manders Of military areas capable OF
observing the conduct Of the men
under them, has "ventured the opin-
ion" in open court that none of them
had noted any let down in discipline
or observed any disorders In the
ranks as an outcome of Col. Mitch
ellis remarks.
Counsel for the defense have gone
further than this. however. and have
come forth with the declaration that
instead of setting up any such de
spicable" reaction as charged in the
eight specifications on which the col
onel Is being tried, the San An
tonic statements have caused wave
of patriotism to sweep the coun-
try-at patriotic rush to inquire
into the condition OF the Nations
defense and to seek the necessary
remedies.
Issuance Not Denied.
The whole question reverts to
whether the issuance of the state
ments. true though they may be or
not, constitutes a breach of military
discipline The prosecution in pre-
senting its case to the court did not
attempt to go into the truth or
falsity Of the charges, but contented
itself merely with proving that the
statements We're Issued and pub
lished.

Here Is q ReaL Idea
Newspaper I'M
terprise Assn.
and Omitted
rress Service

INHAlRMAN O'CONNOR of the United
" States shipping board seems to have
thrown constructive idea in the welter
of scheming that has marked considera-
ton of our merchant marine problem, 1t
remains to be seen how it will be taken.
Briefly, 0'Connor proposes that any sub
sidy that shall be paid by the American
government shall be paid directly to the
Seamen. This payment, of course, would
be made only to American seamen on ships
owned by Americans and flying the Ameri-
can flag. Twenty dollars n month is the
figure he proposes the government should
pay, in addition to the wages paid by the
shipowner The total cost, If every gov
eminent ship is bought by private ship
owners, would be S16,000,000 year,
The response of the shipowners will be
interesting to hear. Their great complaint
has been that American ships operate at
q disadvantage in competition with foreign
ships because American seamen demand
higher wages. They concede that Amerl-
can seamen are among the finest in the
world. equal to the best, superior to most.
AT the same wage COST they have said,
no American shipowner would wish to
employ any other than American seamen.
The matter of the common language of
officers and crew is in itself n great advan-
tage, they admit; from the passengers
standpoint, in time of danger, it is more
than an advantage, it is sometimes the
difference between life and death.
At one stroke Chairman O'Connor's pro-
posal, if adopted, would equalize wage
costs for the shipowners. 1t would enable
them to man their ships with the best
seamen that American ships could have
and their part of the payment would be
only what they would have to pay for
foreign seamen.
In the days when America had mer-
chant. marine that held its own with the
rest of the world, American boys went
to sea. They are ready to go again, but
not at the wages paid coolies and other
Orientals. The Seamen's act has improved
living conditions for sailors, especially for
Americans. The forecastle has ceased to
be the hell-hoe it once was, thanks to
Andrew Furuseth and Senator La Toilette.
1t may be that O'Connor is offering the
next step forward. His plan deserves the
study of all those who wish to see real
American merchant marine. 1t is likely to
appeal to advocates of an adequate naval
reserve, for, in effect, the proposed $50
government bonus would make naval re-
servists-and the best of naval reservists
of the American sailors thus obtained.
Chairman 0'Connor has given the coun-
try something useful to think about.
