Seeks Solution of Far

DAWES IN FOREFRONT
Japan Makes No ConCes.-

gate to Council.
BY RICHARD d. M'MILLAN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

PARIS, Nov. 18.-The League of
Nations council convened secretly
again today while the most serious
battle of the Manchurian conflict
ragged in the Far East. The Chinese
and Japanese delegates were absent.
The council adjourned after about
an hour, and private discussions
were resumed.
Kenkichi YoShizawa, japanese
delegate, told the United Press that
he had been discussing new pro-
poSals for peace settlement with
members of the council individually
and plans to submit them later to
the council.
1.-THE proposals should not be
considered a compromise, he said,
"aS that would mean concessicn rs.
Japan is not making any con-
ceSsions."
BRAND Presides
Aristide BRAND, French foreign
minister, presided at the council
session.
It was learned that the Hay
Roosevelt doctrine of an open door
in China has assumed an important
place in the councils private
negotiations, in which Ambassador
Charles G. Dawes is taking an i'm
portant part.
The definite goal of the council
IS evacuation of Japanese troops
from Manchuria. The strategy of
the council leaders is an effort to
prevent the japanese or Chinese
delegations from making any
blanket statements before the coun-
Gil until it has obtained unanimous
agreement that no special interests
will be tolerated in China.
Might Cross Toxic Policy
Such agreement might be contra
dictory to the Japanese policy in
Manchuria.
The league officials and Dawes
concentrated on efforts to harmon
ize the British, French and Amer
lean views toward the Manchurian
crisis.
The meeting of the council, with
thirteen present, including Yoshi-
zawa, began at Sis p. m, after a
session at 4:30 p. m. to prepare a
QUESTIONABLE to submit to Yoshi-
zawa.
News of the capture of Tsitsihar
by Japanese forces animated discus
sion of the council delegates.

New York Mayor Considers
Trip to California, Plea to
Governor RoIph.
By United Press

~
NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-Mayor
James j. Walker said today he is
seriously considering a proposal to
go to California to intercede with
Governor ROlph in behalf of Tom
Mooney, who, with Warren K. Bill
ings, is under life Imprisonment for
the Preparedness day bombing in
San Francisco fifteen years ago.
He explained that considerable
pressure, from a source he would
not divulge, had been brought to
bear on him. Before making his
final decision, however, he said he
would consult with several persons
whose names he withheld.
The mayor and Governor Rolph
are close friends. 1t is recalled that
last winter, while Walker was va
cationing at Palm Springs, in south
ern California, Rolph,. then mayor
Of San Francisco, flew to join him.
The mayors statement came as a
surprise.
Strenuous efforts have been made
in the past by other sources to OBJ
tain the release, or at least a new
trial, of Mooney and Billings.
Last year Rolph's predecessor, c.
c. Young, refused pardon applica-
tions in behalf of the two prisoners,
after the California supreme court
voted against their application.

FARM BUREAU
ASKS SPECIAL
TAX SESSION
Delegates 10 Annual Farley
Parade, With Plea for
Legislature Call.
URGE CONGRESS RELIEF
Agriculture Must Be Helped
If Prosperity Returns,
PurneII Says.

Applauding the theory that the
depression can not end until farm
ers are prosperous, delegates to the
annual convention of the Indiana
farm Bureau today adopted resolu-
tons calling for a special legislative
session in Indiana this winter, and
asking farm relief from congress.
Introduced Immediately after
Representative Fred S. Purneal Of
Attica addressed the gathering, the
resolutions were adopted without
dissenSion.
Adjourning shortly before noon,
the farmers marched behind a band
to Monument Circle, and then to
the statehouSe, with banners call
ing for a special state legislative
session.
Governor Harry c. Leslie was alb
sent from his office, but the resolu-
ton asking the special session, to-
gether with a banner demanding the
session, was left with Gaylord Nor
ton, the Governors secretary.
/ CdtI IOE SpCCIdl ScSSlOn
The first, and the farmers be-
lieved the most important, of their
demands adopted at the morning
session was upon Governor Leslie
to assemble the legislature to enact
taxation measures which would lift
the burden from impoverished
farmers.
The second resolution called upon
the national legislative body to
amend the agriculture marketing
act to include equalization fees and
the debenture plan.
Another demand upon congress
was for passage of the Strong bill,
directing the federal reserve board
to use all it's powers to stabilize
commerce, industry, agriculture,
employment and the purchasing
power of the American dollar.
Want Prices Raised
The resolutions committee herein
pointed out that this board Debated
agricultural produce prices in 1920
and 1921, and expressed the belief
that it could initiate them now.
Another resolution asked congress
| to direct the federal reserve board
to permit banks to discount farm
paper in the same manner as the
notes were discounted during Lib
erty loan drives to finance the
World war
Such allowance would place
money in the hands of a multitude
of farmers, the committee con-
tended.
I'm the success of American agri-
culture alone can we hope for any
degree of permanent prosperity"
Representative Purnen told the
farmers, assembled in the ClaypooI
today.
Marketing Is Big Problem
The greatest problem, he said,
was one of marketing in order to
give the farmer a profitable return.
The department of agriculture has
spent millions of dollars to teach
the farmer to produce more, but
now it must teach and help him to
market what he has produced.
I've voted for my last project
to open new lands for cultivation"
he promised the Hoosier farmers,
condemning the governments free
dom in opening public lands for
cultivation.
He defended the marketing act
against the cry of putting the fed
eral government into business, by
pointing out that the government
went into business with every tariff
bill, with its federal reserve system,
and railway transportation acts.
