Paris, Jan. 2S-(By A. P.)-Se-
curity was the main theme of Pre-
mier Herriot's long-awaited speech
on Frances foreign policy delivered
before great gathering in the
chamber of deputies today. The
premier occupied two hours of his
three and a half hours address in
drawing up a vivid, but dark, pic
ture of Germany's activities in arm
aments, while he disposed of the
problem of inter-allied debts in a
brief, but nevertheless emphatic.
manner.
Never before since he assumed
power has M. Herriot spoken of
Germanyin the tones he used today,
and, although he had the entire
chamber, excepting the Communists,
enthusiastically applauding and
cheering him, the general interpre-
tation throughout parliament was
that his purpose was deeper than
merely catering to the Right groups
that it was a warning to the Brit
ish government against the evacua-
ton of the Cologne zone.
On the subject of inter allied
debts, the premier said:
what can do is solemnly repeat
once more what NJ. Viviani has said,
what M. Poincare has said-France
does not intend to repudiate her
debts.
That being said, we have the

CONGRESS FINDINGS
ACR|. COMMISSION

Washington, Jan. 2S-The 1egisla-
tive recommendations of the agricul-
tural commission were transmitted
to congress today by President Coo
lidge with a request for their enact
ment "at the earliest possible date"
In brief message sent to both house
and senate, the president not only
urged prompt action but took occa-
sion to express confidence in the
commission and it's findings.
No draft of legislation to carry
out the recommendations accom-
panied the report.
Chairman. Haugen has called a
meeting of the house committee Sat
urday to canvass the situation and it
is regarded as likely that the senate
committee also will meet before the
week end.
Administrative leaders in both
houses said they We're confident con-
gressional action could be completed
on most Of the commissions recon-
mendations befor March 4, adjourn
ment. The general recommendation
for better tariff protection for farm
products are a possible exception to
this.
AS step toward putting into law
recommendations of the commission,
Representative Williams, Republican,
Michigan. reintroduced his coopera-
tive market bill after eliminating
from the original measure, known as
the Capper- Williams bill, provisions
not recommended by The president

that his modified proposal carried
out practically all the commissions
suggestions.

Senate May Meet
Tonight to Hurry
Postal Boost Bill

Washington. Jan. 2S.-A night ses-
sion of the Senate tomorrow to hasten
action on the postal pay and rate in
crease bill was threatened today by
Senator Moses. Republican. New
Hampshire. In charge of the measure,
after the days discussion had failed
to bring vote on any of the pending
amendments.
During the discussion today Senator
Moses announced that a provision in
the bill limiting books, catalogues,
seeds, cutting bulbs, roots. scions and
plants to four ounces for mailing in
the third class should read eight
ounces. Other third class mail, how
ever. would be limited to four ounces.
A vote is in order tomorrow on the
proposal of Senator George, Democrat.
Georgia, to decrease present second
class rates on advertising sections of
publications, to those in effect before
July /, 1920.
The bill provides for a slight In
crease in these rates.
Senator Moses contended today a re-
duction in these rates would result in
loss of 100000 revenue to the gov
eminent, whereas additional revenue
was needed to pay the postal salary
increases provided in the bill; but
Senator George argued that lower
rates would increase revenue by bring
ing additional pieces of mail into the
service.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Assuming
full personal responsibility for the
institution of a new court action
against Senator Wheeler, Democrat,
Montana, Attorney General Stone
gave notice today to senators N.ho
are opposing his nomination to the
supreme court in that connection
that the proceedings would con-
tinue.
Appearing before the senate ;rdi-
ciary committee, Mr.. Stone gave his
reasons for initiating the case In the
District of Columbia instead of in
Montana where an indictment
against Senator Wheeler already is
pending. He then submitted 10 a
three hours cross examination,
much of it conducted by Senator
Walsh, Democrat, Montana, counsel
for Wheeler and member OF the
committee.
After Mr.. Stone had peen excused,
the committeeman discussed the
matter for nearly an hour without
coming to any conclusion. Chair
man Cummings announced there
would be another meeting Monday
to consider the nomination of Mr..
Stone, recommitted by the senate
last Monday after the Wheeler case
had been brought into senate 4eba e.
Facing Senator Wheeler as well
as his counsel in the small and
crowded committee room Mr.. Stone
said evidence that was to be pre-
scented to a grand jury here next
week indicated that there had been
a conspiracy to defraud the gov
eminent on Oil and mineral lands
and that Testimony could not be
taken without indicating that SEN
ator Wheeler was involved" in the
transaction.
Replying indirectly, at least. to
charges that Senator Wheeler is be-
ing prosecuted" in the effort to
drag" him $500 from his home in
an action that could be brought in
his own state, the attorney general
announced that there was no inten-
ton on the part of the government
TO drop the proceedings in M ntana,
in which Senator Wheeler is charg-
ed with accepting fee to represent
Gordon Campbell before a govern
ment department in the matter of
land permits after his election to
the senate.
That case and the case to be pre-
scented to the grand jury impa1elled
today in the District of Columbia.
are entirely different. the latter be-
ing based on new evidence obtained
in a wholly new investigation he
had caused to be instituted after he
came into office because of the
widespread publicity given to. the
indictment in Montana, and the
charges and counter charges grow
ing out of it."
This new inquiry was conducted
by Assistant Attorney General Don
ovan, who came into Office last
August, and who, Mr.. Stone said, had
no previous connection with the
case.

Khan
Will Help Fight
Primary Repeal
PROPONENTS SAY
CHILD LABOR BILL
NOT YET Beaten

New York, Jan. 2S.-The fight for
a child labor amendment to the con-
stitution will be continued, even
though 10 states, or more than one
quarter Of the necessary three
fourths, have refused to ratify it,
said a statement issued here today
by the national child labor commit
tee. organized in 1907.
The adverse vote OF the legisla-
lures is not final, according to the
statement, and the amendment has
not been defeated" The committee
expects six of the Is states to re-
verse their action and 'go on record
in favor of the children when they
discover that the present scare Of
a super-socialism is groundless."
These six states are Ohio, Okla
homa, Kansas, North and South Da-
kota and Massachusetts,. All of
these states, it is said, now have
child labor laws.
1--WE intend to continue fighting
for adequate child labor standards
until all American children are pro-
tected," the statement continued.
Every legislature will vote on the
amendment. 1t may take two years
instead of six months to secure rat
iticatiOn. 1t will come because it is
now being rejected from a foolish
fear that all labor will be prohibited
and all chores forbidden, rather
than from adequate reasons. No
good legislation can be permanently
scared into defeat"
OF the legislatures that have vot-
ed adversely, the statement pointed
out, only eight registered action in
both houses. I'm South Dakota,
North Dakota, Delaware and Wyom-
ing, only one house rejected. Fa-
vorable action by the other house
will bring immediate reconsidera-
ton. Further unfavorable action
Will simply postpone present consid-
Grafton of the amendment. Favor
able action has been taken by Cali
fornia, Arkansas and one house of
the Montana and Arizona legisla-
lures. In New York state the legis-
lators are pledged in favor Of the
amendment by both party plat
forms"

layed steamers from Baltic ports ar
rived here today. damaged by storm
and weighted with ice. The Swedish
steamer Olson, with three of her
crew injured and one of her matches

Three of the Olson's crew were
injured in an attempt to make fast
the ice box, sent hurting up and
down the deck by the pitching ship.
Carl Nelson, coal trimmer, fractured
his shoulder when he was flung
against a bulkhead. A sailor was
nursing his injuries for 10 days aft

burn some of her cargo of wood
pulp to reach fuel supply at Blyth,
Scotland. Her ventilators and deck
gear were battered by the seas.
