COOLIDGE WILL
Use TARIFF TO
HELP FARMERS
Alfalfa Seed Grower Re-
ports Result of Talk
With President

RAPID CITY, s. d., Sept. 6 tR-
Discussing the tariff as it affects
agriculture, President Coolidge gave
Sam H. Bober, of Newell, s. D., the
impression today that he wants to use
the tariff to it's full capacity to aid
the farmer
He asked Mr.. Coolidge to raise the
tariff on alfalfa seed, telling him that
neither controlled marketing nor "a
McNary- Haugen law would mean much
to seed growers when foreign seed can
be dumped on our markets any time
to compete with us and depress our
prices.
Bober is the picturesque northern
hills seed grower of which the presi-
dent purchased alfalfa seed for his
Vermont farm last year and he sat
down with Mr.. Coolidge for long
while this morning talking about this
crop and the agriculture in general.
st asked the president to increase
the tariff on alfalfa seed and I am
convinced that this increase will be
forthcoming" Bober declared.
"We talked quite a bit about the
tariff. The president recalled that he
raised the tariff on butter and flax
and expressed the opinion that this
had been beneficial. I feel he wants
to use the tariff to help the farmer as
much as it can"
Alfalfa seed growers needed better
protection, the president was told by
the Newell man, who also is secretary
of the Black Hills Seed association,
because imports from foreign coun-
tries, particularly Canada, are de-
pressing the market and damaging
what otherwise might be a good busi-
ness.

GENEVA, Switzerland, Sept. 6, Up
A concerted attempt to revise the
Geneva protocol" stands forth as
a possibility in the League of Ma
tions assembly tonight. Jonkheer
Beelaerts Van BloklandS, Netherlands
foreign minister introduced a reSolu-
ton today calling for a revival Of
the principles of this protocol, with
the serious discussion thereof, to the
end that an attempt be made finally
to outlaw by filling in those danger
GUS gaps in the league covenant,
which unfortunately do not abso-
lutely remove war from the worlds
horizon"
Despite the assertion of Sir Aus
ten Chamberlain, British secretary,
that the Polish plan for general
pact of non-aggreSsion had been
rejected, Poland appears determined
to push forward her idea of propos-
ing a general pact whereby the ma
tions would solemnly engage them
selves to undertake no war of ag-
gression, and, above all, blind them
selves not to help any aggresSor pow
er which provoked war.
The Polish spokesman informed the
Associated Press correspondent that
although his countryS resolution was
not yet written, it would be based on
the ideas of the Geneva protocol,
which Jonkheer Beelaerts Van Biloxi
lands told the assembly he wanted
revised, namely, arbltratlon, security
and disarmament.
T The Geneva protocol was fashioned
by the assembly of 1924, after five
weeks struggle in a kind of estate
atmosphere, which later at Locarno
produced happier results as this pro-
tocol, deemed too impracticable in
that stage of the worlds political
progress, was never accepted by the
governments. That protocol was Gre
ated largely through the efforts oi
the British labor government and M
Herriot's left bloc government Of
France, which was in power during
that period.
The conviction of Poland that the
Netherlands is that the League must
keep a bulldog grip on the problem
of peace through arbitration, security
and disarmament, and never let go
else the world can have no assur-
! ance that war has been banished as
a destroyer of mankind.
| 1t IS believed that numerous Others
| of the smaller powers will rally tC
the standard of Poland and the Ne
| therlandS.
In his talk with the British jour.
nalists, Sir Austen Chamberlain ex'
| pressed the opinion that the Leagu,

aggression and that it would be the

vocated.
ct was great disappointment"
said Sir Austen, "that the recent tri-
partite conference failed to reach an
agreement, but even that failure may
have a good result in a better un-
derStanding of one anotherS needs.
So we are nearer an agreement.
Insisting that disarmament could
only be gradual, the British foreign
secretary predicted that there must
be many disarmament conferences
before the powers can reach the
measure of disarmament he should
like to see and declared that he was
against 'that feverish demand that
something be done, without first de-
termining what the world wanted and
what is useful and possible in the
reduction of ornaments"

the offer which the italian premier,
Mussolini, has submitted the as
sembly by his delegate, Senator Count
Antonio Gjppico to be found at Ital-
ian expel1e in Rome an international
institute of "educative cinema"
Mussolini's idea, as explained by
Count Cippico, is that the successful
experience of Italy in the application
of motion pictures to the intellectual
elevation of nation should be ex-
tended throughout the world as a
benefit to humanity and that an
institute which would be supervised
by the League of Nations would be
helpful to governments, public and
private institutions and commercial
enterprises and diffuse useful infor-

Prospects of a passenger a1r line
between Douglas and Phoenix as a
feeder" to projected Los Angeles-to-
Ell Paso line of ten-passenger planes,
were discussed yesterday by George
E. Jackson, president of the Douglas
Chamber of Commerce and Mines
when interviewed on his return from
months motor tour.
In Los Angeles last week jackson
sought out j. T.. Maddux, president OF
Maddux, Inc, which proposes to in
augurate daily passenger service be-
tween Los Angeles and Ell Paso, by
way of Phoenix, within the next
sixty days. MadduX mentioned the
possibility of at some future date in
augurating branch line to Douglas
and declared he would visit this city
in the near future to look over the
situation.
The Maddux company will begin
within few weeks a daily service
between San Diego and San Francisco
using three Ford-designed mono
planes each equipped with three
Wright whirlwind motors. The E.
Paso line will be opened as soon as
seven more similar machines are
received from the Wright plant.
Jackson sought to convince Mad
dux that Douglas should be a stop
ping point on a transcontinental
line but Maddux explained that the
Ell Paso line was routed through
Phoenix with a view of establishing
remunerative branch sightseeing
line to Grand Canyon. If that plar
proved profitable after few months
Maddux could see no reason why 6
branch line to Douglas would moi
be logical outgrowth.
The planes to be used by the
Maddux company are designed tC
carry mail and express as well az
ten passengers, including pilot anc
mechanic In glass enclosed com
partment fitted with comfortable
wicker chairs.
During his months vacation, Jack
son toured the entire west as far a.
