advisory committee was in session,
completing its orga ganizations. Guided
In it's demands for congressional action
by the conferences approval of the
principles of the Dickinson farm sur
plus bill, the committee was consider
ing the establishment Of a legislative
bureau In Washington to aid the fight
for the bill.
Peek Named Chairman

es, in which Frank c. Lowden, for
mer Governor of Illinois; the COVER
nors of three States and several agri-
cultural experts had revived the STU
alton Each prescribed a remedy, with
proponents of the Dickinson bill pre-
dominating.
Charge Causes Stir.
Not until the delegates were pre-
pairing to receive the report of the
resolutions committee and adjourn
was there any indication of diShar-
mony. The greatest stir was created
BY W. /. Drummond. Kansas City.
Mo. chairman of the American Farm
Congress, who charged that the con
ference was not representative or
Middle Western agriculture and that
the resolutions committee was com
posed Of men who championed par
ticu!ar farm relief bills.
His charges precipitated a heated
debate with Mark Woods. Lincoln,
Nebr. who charged Drummond's at
titude was influenced by bosses.
Shouts of Program. program pre-
vailed as the chairman restored order.
In refusing to indorse any particu-
lar piece of farm relief legislation the
conference adhered to the advice OF
several speakers who warned such
action might foreStall possibility of
enactment of any kind of legislation
favorable To the farm cause.
Action favoring the principles OF
the Dickinson bill was the only def
mite expression by the conference
concerning legislation. 1t failed To
take cogniZance of the situation ere
ated by the Federal Farm Loan
Board placing in effect new regula-
tions for the operation of joint stock
land banks. The new regulations
which have resulted in the banks dis
carding plans for extending $4,000,
900 credit to Iowa farmers. have
caused concern among farm leaders
here. The matter has been called to
the attention of President Coolidge by
Gov Hammill. who asked that the
new regulations be modified or dis
carded.

Where the Dollar Goes.
In the course of the questioning

LONDON, January 29.-Comment-
ing on the United States Senate's de-
cision that the United States shall en-
ter the World Court, the Times says
today:
The debate in the Senate reveals
very clearly the confused and transi-
tional state Of American opinion on
international relations"
The newspaper welcomes the result
of the vote in the Senate as a final
assertion of good sense. adding: THE
decision is most important official
step forward, and one of its effects
inevitably will be to initiate a new
phase in reviving discussion of the eX-
act relationship of the United States
to the League of Nations.
The Daily News says the entry of
the United States into the court will
increase the courts prestige and
widen the boundaries of Its jurisdic-
tons. This newspaper believes that the
American reservations will prove nuga-
tory in actual practice.

ceiving a ma ajority of 10 votes on a
motion of confidence introduced by
the parties comprising the present

The Socialists gave the government
the benefit of neutrality by abstaining
from voting, thus offsetting the OPP
positional vote of the German Ma
tionalfts and Communists.

reveals the frailty of the preliminary
