pointment of q committee to meet at
once and submit report to the con-
ference during the day on q plan to

| first time States had stopped the raising

terminate the boil weeyn and citrus
pests.

has stood the test of all courts OF law,
crops were ordered stopped TO halt pes
thence.
IF out Of this meeting" the Gov
ernor said, there comes committee
to 60 to Washington to induce the
| foreign ONCE TO get an agreement SINH
| lar to the Chadbourne sugar plan for
cotton with the cotton growers of the
world, other countries would not raise
cotton to Ill the gap left by the
Americans"
Louisiana is in position where the
State works In accord declares Gov.
Long II could call special meeting
of the Louisiana Legislature today and
enact legislation prohibiting the rails
ing of cotton in 1892 by Monday"
Gov Long said he did net draw the
resolution which was offered by Com
missioner Mcdonald, but he favored the
appointment Of a committee to work out
plan.
Commissioner Talmadge Of Georgia,
speaking for the resolution, said:
"If the present price Of cotton does
not rise above 5 cents a pound, every
business interest which touches cotton
in the State OF Georgia viii go on the
rocks"

Prof. Calvin B. Hoover Says
Capital and Communism
Have Chance of Peace.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WILLIAMSBURG. Mass, August 81.
-Compromise between capitalism and
Communism was seen as future trend
of planned economy by speakers at the
Institute of Politics yesterday.
Prof. Calvin B. Hoover of Duke Uni
versity. in speaking before the institute
last night on capitalism, Fascism and
Communism as three competing sys-
TENS" held that social changes, rather
than economic conditions, emphasize
more sharply the gulf between the capi-
talistic and the Communistic world and
that economic efficiency will determine
the victory Of one over another
He said, that IL capitalism could
maintain wage level superior to that
of Communism and offer the worker
economic security, and If capitalistic
countries could compose their eco
nonlic and political differences among
themselves, there is cnance of peace
between the capitalistic and Communis-
tic worlds
Stresses British-U. S. Accord.
Carl Haessler of Chicago, managing
editor Of the Federated Press, looked
upon Communism as one revolution
among many in the history of the
world, and one which viii not change
the course the world IL taking Ulki-
mate values, he said, win come from a
compromise between capitalism and
Communism, with the prevailing system
taking the best from each Of the sys-
TENS. But, he maintained, the field of
initiative In the capitalistic system must
be kept open because, he asserted. EN-
cheney Is derived from the wastes OF the
fsoY sff n lfcffrs cvcfaYT4
In the round table conference on "the
future of the British commonwealth"
Prof p E. Corbett, dean Of the law fac
ulty of McGin University, asserted that
friendship for the United States was
the outstanding concern of Great Brit
aims foreign policy and ''is regarded
as more important than the League OF
Nations" He expressed the view that
in determining policies the dominions
consider relations with the United
States as much more important thzn
the League.
Rightly or wrongly, the progress of
ponds upon progress of disarmament in
the United States" he said.
Canada Views Pan-America.
Pref. Frank H u deThill of Toronto
University held Ll7at the British dip
lonatS are too open IN their oeslre 70
please the United States and 'fawn so
much" as 10 make their attitude un-
pleasant for Americans.
Dean Corbett pointed out that the
dofninions are showing increasing po-
Iltical independence. He said that Can
ada would favor joining the Pan
American League il 1t could be shown
ta be an effective working proposition,
b,It that at present 1T resembles a de-
battnq league, with the United States
more or less continually holding the
floor"
On the question Of pacific relations,
Dean Cofbett said these relations tended
to- bring the United States, Canada,
Australia and New Zealand closer To-
refhey and he asserted that while
their manners toward the japanese
have been better" the Canadians have
always field the same views as the
United states on Tie Japanese question.
