Bilateral Treaties Being
Hinted At By Geneva
Naval Conference
JOIN AMERICANS

GENEVA, Switzerland, July II ~
There we're indications late torIght
that the Japanese warning that they
would not sign a naval limitation
treaty which would necessitate the
expansion of the Japanese navy was
having it's effect on the British
delegates, who showed a disposition
tic still further reduce their estimate
as to total tonnage OF cruisers.
Friendly conversations are con-
tinuing with the belief expressed
that the British may slice down the
cruiser tonnage SO that it will fall
under the 100000 limit, to which
the Japanese object and which the
Americans will accept only as a last
resort.
The japanese have now openly
Joined the Americans in bringing
pressure to bear on the British, in
the hope of preventing the collapse
of the conference.
Acceptance Of such a high cruiser
tonnage would mean an extensive in
crease in naval building for Japan.
to maintain the ratio established at
Washington for capital ships. At
least the diplomatic members OF the
Japanese delegation are convinced OF
the impossibility OF returning to
Japan with treaty which to them
means, not reduction. not even
limitation, but expansion OF arma-
ments.
The development in the situation
is taken to indicate that too little
attention has been paid to the fact
that Japan is one OF the participants
in the conference and that the
parley is not confined to the United
States and Great Britain.
This may have been partly the
fault OF the Japanese themselves, for
in American circles at least there
has been some apparent uncertainty
as to just how far Japan would go
in insisting upon keeping the cruiser
tonnage down to Americas original
minimum Of 25O,OOO tons each for
the United States and Great Britain

BLAME PACKERS
Chief Executive Reported
Much Alive to Growers
Difficulties


RAPID CITY, S. D., July IL O.
A group of western livestock raisers
brought straight from the shoulder
complaint to President Coolidge today
against what they termed the domina-
ton of cattlemen by Chicago and
Omaha packers and their Wall street
affiliations"
The delegation was headed by Paul
B Martin, president of the Western
Stock Marketing association, and their
grievances, as well as their suggested
remedies were listened to attentively
by Mr. Coolidge, who conferred with
them for nearly an hour
Their trouble lay, he declared, in
the fact that -cattlemen were COM
PEELED to ship their livestock to
Omaha and Chicago where 1--WE must
take any price the packers will give /"
He added that feed and freight bills
charged against them will eat up a
carload of cattle q week." and that
they cannot afford to ship them back
home to await a better price. There
seems to be no competition among
packers, Martin went on. "They pay
us about the same price. Often the
difference in price when shipment
begins at home and ends at Omaha
or Chicago is so great drop that
our profits are wiped out.
"a fat COW that we can sell to the
butcher at home for $635O brings
about $50 in the Omaha market and
out OF that must come the freight.
A hide we sell for ST is tanned by
the packers and sold back to our
local saddleries for about $28.''
The delegation blame "the forced
liquidation" of the federal reserve
board after the World war for their
condition, Martin declaring he was
convinced that 'the packers have
interlocking banking connections with
Wall street that cause them to have
more interest in the bankers than
the. men who raise the CATTLE,
The delegation declared they were
pleased with Mr.. Coolidges attitude
saying that the president seemed to
know about as much of conditions
out here as we do" They admitted
that the Individuality of the cattle
men," like the farmer is going about
his business without thought of or
ganization was handicapping progress
in the solution of the agriculture
and livestock problem.

was very much alive to our diff
culties and I hope that something
good will come of our conference.

ut is common knowledge that
Colonel Lindbergh's successful
flight to Paris did more to re-
lieve strained relations than a
multitude Of diplomats could
ever have done, and with this In
mind we believe untold good
could be accomplished ii you
would arrange to have Colonel
I.indbergh visit the larger pOrss
ON our southern boundary.
Douglas is an important port
on the Mexican border, has an
excellent landing field ana
hangers and we most cordially
invite the colonel to pay us a
visit as he comes this way.
Every effort will be put forth
: to make this stop all that il
should be.
Specifications are being car
ried out TO make our field an
authorized air port and if this
stop is arranged our field could
be dedicated by the colonel. I'm
told good would come of a short
flight over Mexico at this point.
Mexican immigration authOrit-
les at this port, Aqua Preta, ana
the Aqua Prieta Chamber of
Commerce join us in extending
this invitation.
(Signed) -. w. TARDY, Pres,
'The BcrderIand Climate Club
This message hunmed, its way
over the wires last night and is to
be followed today by q further ur-
gent message signed by chamber OF
commerce officials, according TO
statements Of members OF the areO-
nautics committee Of the chamber
headed by F. D. Hubbell. Every ef-
fort will ne made, Hubbell states, to
orange for Colonel Lindbergh to
stop here on his national tour.
The chamber of commerce reports
that it is possible to complete the
specifications for the local airport by
Ihe time Of the great hero's flight SO
that he may land here on per-
fectly level and properly appointed
field which he will be asked to dedi-
cate with fitting ceremonies.
According to the schedule that has
been laid out for the worlds great
est aviator, he will be in Tucson
some time during the latter part OF
and from there, according
TO plans, he will hop to FL Paso. II
is the earnest wish of the public
spirited men OF both Douglas and
Aqua Prieta that Colonel Lindbecgt
come here instead OF making the
long flight from Tucson direct to
FL PaSo, in which event he would
probably follow the north line OF the
Southern Pacific and not even pass
over where he could be seen.
II was intimated yesterday that in
conjunction with the message sent
last night by the president OF the
Eorderland Climate club, not only
the chamber of commerce and cher
civic bodies but the mayor and
common council will add their in
vitations to those of the other rep
resentative bodies.
