LEADERS SURE OF QUORUM
ON LONDON NAVY PACT
U. S. Chamber of Commerce In
dorses Passage-President Reit-
crates Plea for Prompt Action.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
President Hoover informed Senate
leaders at conferences today at the
White House that he would call the SEN
ate into special session next Monday for
consideration of the London naval
treaty, in the event Congress adjourned
tonight
The treaty situation was discussed
with Senators Watson, Reed, Allen and
Walcott-all Republican advocates of
the London agreement.
They were confident of keeping a quo
rum here next week for it's considera-
ton and also of bringing it to a vote
within a week or 10 days.
They left the White House determined
to keep the treaty before the Senate
until vote is obtained
The call which will bring the SEN
ate into special session was completed
today, except for the insertion of the
date, and lay in President Hoover's desk.
The Chief Executive reiterated his
appeal for prompt action on the treaty
in letter which became public last
night replying to a petition signed by
"a Senators, who asked that the treaty
debate be postponed until the Deem
DER session OF congress.
Interest in Treaty Cited.
"I realize fully the great strain
which has been placed upon the Sem
ate by the long continued session., -
the President said. "On the other
hand, the national interest in having
the naval treaty brought to a conclu-
sion is so great, I feel that must
ask that it be dealt with at the
earliest possible date"
Although the special session is be-
Ing called primarily for ratification of
the treaty, the Senate also NAV be
asked to confirm the personnel of the
reorganized Tariff Commission and the
newly created Power Commission,
The Chamber of Commerce of the
United States has added its name to
those supporting passage of the treaty.
In letter made public today and ad-
dressed to members of the Senate, the
board of directors of the chamber ex-
pressed hope that the treaty would be
ratified and made effective at an early
date
ButterwOrth Issues Statement.
In making the letter public, William
Butterworth, president of the organiza-
ton, also issued a statement which said
a study of the treaty from an economic
viewpoint brings to light some mate
rial advantages and also some savings
in cost through the battleship holiday
by limiting maintenance and construc-
ton costs up to 1886.
While objections by naval experts
must be given due consideration" the
statement concluded, yet it would
seem, in view of the relative signifi-
canoe OF the questions at issue, that
the treaty does not jeopardize adequate
military preparedness and represents an
important step toward effective reduc-
ton of armament and of the continual
ton of the leadership which the Gov
eminent of the United States has taken
toward the establishment of enduring
peace in the world"

FARM LABOR

The slowing down in industrial
activity during the last two months
of the year 1929 had one effect which
has escaped general attention and
that is it's bearing on the farm la
Dor market. According to recent
statement from the United States
Department of Agriculture the sup
ply of farm labor on January first
was fifteen per cent greater than the
demand, with a consequent lowering
of farm wages in all parts of the
country. Continuing, the report
says:
Farm wages increased during the
first ten months of last year, but
from October, 1929, to January 1
this year, the curtailment in indus
trial activity resulted in a sharp in
crease in the supply of farm labor
and a greater than average seasonal
decline in farm wages"
This is interesting in view of the
fact that we have been told for some
time past that one of the chief OBJ
stacles to farm prosperity has been
the scarcity of farm labor with the
consequent high wages it was neces-
sary to pay farm help. This was ac-
counted for by our constantly
mounting industrial prosperity
which, it was stated, was attracting
labor from the farm to the city,
where greater wages were to be had.
It is extremely doubtful, however,
whether increasing the supply OF
farm labor through an industrial
slump in the cities would be of any
benefit to the farmers. Indeed, quite
the reverse is apt to be true for the
reason that it is the people in our
cities and towns who furnish for the
farmer his greatest market. If these
people in the urban districts are un-
employed or employed at part time
they cannot consume as many of the
farmers products as would be the
case were they steadily employed
and prosperous. That is one of the
reasons why the farmer, whether he
realizes it or not, is vitality inter
ested in an adequate protective tariff
on industrial as well as farm prod
ucts.
However, it is not to be expected
that there will be any further in
crease in the supply of farm labor
due to industrial depression in the
cities. The present indications are
that the winter slump is nearing its
end and that the tide of prosperity
will soon be rising again.
