FURTHER LIMITATIONS

Signs multiply, which indicate
that the likelihood Of another dis
armament conference is not confined
to the imaginations Of those who
write Headers" for the press. It Will
be recalled that the attempt to have
such a conference under the auspices
of the League without this country
participating is 1T progressing fav-
orably, and as time passes the desir-
ability Of the United States taking
the initiative for such an effort be-
comes more evident.
There are signs that England and
Japan would not be averse to an
other conference in the near future.
France is said to be disposed to take
no more part in such a conference
than conditions may require OF her.
This Is not difficult to understand,
when we consider that she deems
submarines essential to the protec-
ton Of her intercourse with her COL
onies and when she has Germany
for a neighbor with her long record
for bad faith, supported by the evil
dence recently revealed showing her
evasions Of the solemn pact to dis
arm. Probably France sees no rea-
son for expecting that Germany's
promises, were she a participant in
the conference, would be more re-
liable than those she made at YER
sailles.

Asia Minor Raw Cotton
For British Mills New

Liverpool. Feb. 5-(A. p. by MaiD
The arrival here Of 1000 bales of
cotton from the port of Mersinna, in
Asia Minor. marks the opening of a
new course of cotton supply to the
Spinning mills of Lancashire.
1t will be a new source in the sense
of constituting an addition to the
centers which now feed Lancashire
with raw cotton, says the West
minister Gazette, but curiously en-
ough it was from this quarter of the
Turkish Empire that Britain first be-
gan TO draw her cotton supplies
nearly four centuries ago. They were
the mainstay of cotton spinning in
England before the days of Ark
wright, and before cotton cultivation
in America assumed cerious propor-
tions.
ginning factory has been laid
down at Adana, the headquarters of
one Of the three cultivating areas.
and for which the port of Mersina Is
Il natural outlet. The two other areas
are the hinterland of Smyrna and the
valley of Sakaria Adana can pro-
duce an annual crop of 100000 bales:
her potentiality is described as a
minimum of 100000 bales to a max
mum of two millions.
NJ. Husni. a member Of a Man.
chester cotton firm. has expressed
the view that the Smyrna crop would
sell at pass price (middling) and the
American-Egyptian hybrid crop of
Adana would be worth more than
pass price.

business and scientific way" he
said. lis receiving very careful at
tention and next years crop will be
offered on rigidly defined types"

COMPETITION IN WORLD TRADE
INCREASING

The data collected by the Depart
ment Of Commerce affords evidence
that Uncle Sam needs to be up and
doing If he retains and secures an
increase In his present profitable
trade with the Orient.
Returning competition from coun-
tries temporarily halted by the after
effects OF the war is noticeable. 1t
is reasonable to expect increasing
competition from these sources
While we sold Japan heavily the past
year, largely because Of her needs
on account Of the destruction Of the
earthquake. we are advised that
Japan's market is fast becoming
highly competitive.
It is reported that the conditions
in China are somewhat similar to
those in Japan; that in the export OF
automobiles to Australia, our prin-
cipal export to that country, we are
for the first time since the war fac
ing competition with the foreign
makes. That the same is in meas
ure true respecting typewriters. sew
ing machines and specialties in ma
chinery. Furthermore Germany Is
making very ambitious plans for
competition in the worlds trade.

LIVING UP TO IDEALS

Does anyone know of another
secular organization living up to
ideals more consistently than is the
American Legion? Perhaps cursory
comparison should not be expected
definitely to determine this, but it
is not essential that it should be de-
termined, as there is abundant evil
dence that the Legion is doing splen-
didly in that respect. 1t is living up
to the prophecy made by the late
President Harding: 1.-THE men of The
American Legion will be summoned
with confidence to deal with the
problems of today and the possible
crises of the future"
The Legion has been termed, and
the term is merited, "the best insur-
ance policy the nation could have

possible to improve, but priceless
notwithstanding. The Legion is liv-
ing up to its preamble: For God and
Country we associate ourselves to-
gether." It has been tower OF
