lngton koo. foreign minister Of the
northern government, today address
cd a note to the British legation
here protesting against the despatch
ing Of British forces to Shanghai
and asked that it be transmitted to
London in the hope that the British
government would give necessary in
,structions for the immediate with
drawal Of troops despatched to China
SO nothing untoward may happen to
mar the friendly relations of the two
nations"
The foreign minister's note de-
clared the "despatch of additional
naval and military forces to China is
contrary to the spirit Of the League
Of Nations covenant. It cannot be
over emphasized that the national
spirit Of the Chinese people has been
developed and the military movement
on the part Of the British govern
ment is liable to lead to serious mis-
understandings"
DR.. Koo further declared that if
the object Of the expedition was
merely to protect the Shanghai inter-
national settlement, such is unneces-
sary, maintaining that the Chinese
authorities are capable of doing that,
while the presence of large number
of foreign troops in this area might
lead to unforeseen combinations for

WELLER PLAN
Senate There Gets Resolution
Pledging States Part in
estate Alliance

Pierre, S. D., Jan. 3l.--lP)-A re.
solution which would pledge South
Dakota to aid in establishing al
eight state economic alliance tt
create single selling agency t.
regulate production and sale OF
staple farm products, which has the
endorsement of Governor w. J. Blu.
low, was introduced in the senate to.
day by Senator Atkins of Washing.
ton Springs.
The plan which would ally North
Dakota, South Dakota, Illinois, Iowa
Nebraska, Minnesota, Kansas and
Oklahoma in an organization to set
and control the prices on the five
major grain crops, fat beef and fat
pork, is known as the Weller plan
and was conceived by Charles l.
Weller of Mitchell, s. d.
The Weller plan is representative
of ideas for farm relief expressed by
Governor Bulow in his inaugural ad-
dress "On January 4, and the gov
crnOr today said:
Believes Plan ,Pfnctical
II have studied the Weller plan
and l believe it Is pratica. If it is
adopted by eight or more Of the agri-
cultural states, it will force fair
return to the farmer where coopera-
ti0n and other agencies have failed.
It represents the incorporation of
farm states on strictly business
principles to enable the farmer to
meet business methods with busi-
ness methods. Its legal phases, I
have been thoroughly
tested, and while some changes may
become necessary in building the or
the plan makes a practi-
cal application Of correct theory
and l believe it will work."
The resolution proposes that the
midwest agricultural states Join
in the creation Of single agency
legalized and empowered by them
selves for the purpose of regulat-
ing, if need be, the acreage and pro-
duction of staple raw food prod
nets and to designate, and, if need
pc, dictate farm prices, to sell and
direct the disposition and destination

state commerce produced within the
borders of the states; that much of
he marketing, especially Of meat
products, may by on contracts made

selling agency shall be chosen

CONNECTICUT
JURIST DIES
Simeon Eben Baldwin Was
Twice Governor of State,
Former Chief Justice

New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. 81
(AP) - Simeon Eben Baldwin
noted authority on internationa
law, died at his home here Sun.
day. He was 81 years old.
The eminent lawyer and jurist
former chief justice and governor
OF Connecticut, many years before
his death publicly expressed his
belief that human being had the
right to die natural DEATH.
"Old age" he said, twas the
only natural way to DEATH" and he
deprecated efforts of physicians to
prolcng life when death impended
from physical cause or when the
patient was incurably i'll. Mr..
Baldwin himself became an illus
tration Of his belief, although he
could not fOresee that when he
took ISSUE with medical practice
which sought "merciful death" for
the unfortunate.
He was one of the founders of
the American Bar association in
1873.
Address Brought Attention
No cold, formal legal opinion
from the bench by him as chief
justice, or any utterance by him as
executive Of the state received SO
much or widespread attention as
did Judge Baldwin's address as
president Of the American Social
Service association, In September,
1899, on "The National Right to q
Natural DEATH"
It provoked discussion, especially
as he was then an associate Justice
of the state supreme court and al.
ready as professor in Yale law
school had become recognised as
an authority on international, con-
stitntional and corporation law.
Mr.. Raldwin's ancestral record
was remarkable, he being the fifth
Of the blood to serve as governor
Of the state. He was the youngest
son Of Roger Sherman Baldwin,
governor Of Connecticut and Unit
ed States senator, and q great
grandson Of Roger Sherman, q
signer ct the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence. On his mothers side
he was descendant of three Con-
necticut governors. He was cor
poration and railroad lawyer and
legislative agent before his ap-
pointment as an associate Justice
on the supreme court bench in
1898. He became chief justice in
1907 and was retired in 1910 by
reason Of age. The Democratic
party took him up as their nqsni-
nee for governor. Sehism in the
Republican party brought about his
election IN 1910, the first Demo-
cratic governor since 1893 1876.
He was reelected in 1912. A Re-
publican in political faith, he fol-
lowed Cleveland in 1884 and hence
