LEAGUE DISCUSSES

American World Court View
Taken Up-CoSta RIGA Re-
turns to Fold.
By the Associated Press.

oS the ASSoCidteu EIeSS.
GENEVA, September 25.-Alcoholism
opium smoking, adhesion of the United
States to the World Court of Interna-
tional Justice and the return of Costa
Rica TO the League all had attention yes
terday from delegates to the Assembly OF
the League of Nations.
The debate on alcoholism resulted IN
unanimous adoption of resolution for
an investigation into the abuse of alco-
hol as 4 beverage. The inquiry will be
limited to ardent spirits.
Border bootlegging of hard liquor was
hit by the resolution, which recognized
that il was the business of a government
to stop contraband trade that is carried
on in violation of treaties.
The Assembly also approved the Brit
ish proposal to send a commission of
three experts to the Far East to investi-
gate opium smoking and opium SNUG
Cling. Wang Chin-Shi, Chinese dele
gate, pledged China's whole-hearted CO.
operation in the effort to crush the
opium evil.
The question of United States adher-
ence to the World Court came up when
Fridtjof hansen, famous Norwegian ex-
plorer, admonished the Assembly that
the League should not postpone the
Qualification of the councils right to
ask advisory opinions from the court.
The Assembly adopted resolution ask
ing the council to study this question.
United States interest in this point
lies in the fact that it would not adhere
to the court unless it had the right to
veto requests for an opinion on any
question relating to the United States or
its interests.
Costa Rica's announced intention to
return was switched into tribute to the
Argentine. Delegates in congratulating
the Central American Republic. ex-
pressed hopes that the big South Amer
lean country would also come back.

FARM BODY PROTESTS

At it's recent national session held in Wash
ington, D. c., the National Grange, one of the
leading farm organizations of the United States,
went record opposing any further govern
ment reclamation of land for agricultural pur-
poses
Strong opposition to the Columbia River ir-
rigation project and the irrigation feature of the
Boulder Dam scheme expressed by the dele
gates on the ground that there is too much land
under cultivation now, and that to increase the
acreage would make the farmers problem more
difficult than it is at present.
It is perhaps significant that two of the dele
gates who were most active in their opposition to
further government appropriations for reclamation
were Albert s. Goss of the state of Washington,
and George P. Harrison master of the California
state Grange These gentlemen represent the
states in which the largest reclamation projects now
before Congress would be located. A. resolution in
troduced by Mr.. Harrison contained the following:
"That the National Grange does hereby vehem-
emily protest against any legislation which will by
the Of public funds add another acre to that
already under cultivation"
Whether the farmers or the land spectators
shall have their way in Congress remains to be
seen.
