posals to send a large delegation
Of farmers 10 the republican national
convention here in the interests OF
farm relief, today found three fac
tions in the field-one for, n
against and one receptive.
Organizers Of the movement con-
tinued to contend that failure Of the
McNary-Haugen bill furnished a con-
crete basis on which 20 mobilize the
farmers and that many would come
here in June. Those opposed gener-
ally believed the dirt farmers
lacked definite opinions on relied
measures. Kansas Citians, including
convention arrangement committee
men, favored the movement or any
other project that would bring more
visitors here.
From Indiana, Illinois and other
middlewestern states came reports Of
organized efforts to recruit farmers
for the convention trek. On the
heels Of an announcement by Ralph
Snyder, president Of the Kansas farm
bureau federation, that he had sent
out letters urging representation for
his organization at Kansas City, came
an opinion from John Vesecky, head
Of the cooperative wheat marketing
organization of that state, that the
farmers there would not take the
movement seriously.
Former Governor Henry j. Allen OF
Kansas. A. L. Nichols, Topeka, maya

War Not Needed,
Pershing Says

THIAUCoURT. France. May 30
R-Millions Of graves cry out
against war and the big nations
General John J. Pershing told an
assemblage Of French and Americans
at St. Mihiel cemetery today after
school children had strewn flowers
on the graves Of American war dead.
The war that threatened civiliza-
ton came, he said, because OF the
~"fallacious theory that war is an
essential element in the national
policy Of a government ard an err
roneous belief that nations become
great through aggressive undertake
ines carried on regardless of right
and justice. Against such views, the
reasoning Of cabinets and the crea-
ton of ententes too often have
shown themselves powerless."
General Pershing asserted tina.
history disproves that the expansion
Of one modern civilized nation at
the expense of another can be per-
manent and nations that attempt in
the future TO achieve greatness
through unjust aggression are GER
an " AAANAN NAG uGNANC HWEAiAANN Oh
all other nations"
Making what was regarded IS a
reference 70 Secretary Kellogg's
proposal Of a treaty to outlaw war,
General Pershing said: "In order to
make lasting peace still more prob
able there would appear to be no
longer any reason why the leading
civilized powers should mo- agree
among themselves to the general
principle of the elimination of war
as ar ayowed instrument Of national
policy. Such an agreement would
certainly meet universal approval
among teh peoples themselves. II

Whether grouped together in beau

felt and touching manifestations.

Ambassador Herrick, speaking at

President Coolidge's Armistics Day
assertion that "world standards OF

cruisers" has served to strengthen
the determination of administration
leaders in the senate to obtain pass
age of the $274,O0O,000 naval con-
struction bill at the coming short
session of congress.
1t has been followed, too, by re-
statement of policy by the navy de-
partment. This was formulated by
the general board of the navy and,
bearing secretary Wilbur's approval,
was made public today. Revisions
were noted in many details which
Mr.. Wilbur said had been made to
eliminate obsolete projects and ex-
pand the aviation branch of the
service.
The naval construction bill is
ready for consideration by the sem
ate. 1t has been passed by the
house and approved by the senate
naval committee and now occupies a
place on the senate's calendar of
business. 1t calls for construction
of Is cruisers of ten thousand tons
each, the largest that can be built
under the terms of the Washington
arms treaty. and for the building
of one air craft carrier of 1890
tons. approximately half the size of
the Lexington or Saratoga.
Under the terms of the measure,
the cruisers would be laid down at

years of 1929, 1880 and 1881. The
