If all flour, wheat offal and corn
meal produced in the United States in
the year ending June 80, 1881, had
been packed in cotton containers, ap-
proximately $1,000 bales of Ameri-
can cotton would have been required,
according to a report received yester-
day from the department of agricul-
ture by W. M. McLaurine, secretary
of the American Cotton Manufacture
ers' association.
The department had the co-opera-
ton of 526 manufacturers in the
study. These manufactured 74,00O,-
600 barrels of flour, IS per cent of the
amount produced in the United States.
The estimate is that cotton bags were
used for packing nearly 75,o0O,O 900
barrels of flour, or SO per cent of the
total production; for more than 391,-
600 tons of wheat affal, or 9 per cent
of the total production, and approx
mately 100000 pounds of corn
meal, or y per emf of the total pro-
duction.
AS many as IS mills, representing
the production of 100000 barrels
OF flour, or 6 per cent of all the flour
produced in the United States, used
cotton bags exclusively for packaging
their flour.
Burlap bags were used for packag-
ing flour, wheat offal and corn meal
put up in large-size bags; cotton bags
were used in all sizes but were more

second hand bags in use, an addition
al $1,000 bales of cotton would have
been required.

about increased usage of cotton in this

TO AID ARMS CUT

Effort to Speed Work of
Geneva ParIey.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, June 20-The United
States Joined in a special three-power
effort here over the week end to reach
some plan by means Of which the World
Disarmament Conference might be
brought to an end with a measure
of success.
With President Hoover in communi-
cation, over the transatlantic telephone,
with the American delegation, repre-
sentatives of the United States, Great
Britain and France laid the plans of
each country on the table and sought
to find some common denominator for
them.
No decision was reached, but ar
rangementS we're made to continue the
discussions, extending them to repre-
sentatives of other governments, es-
pecially Japan. Italy and Germany.
Americans Gratified.
Those who participated in yester-
days conferences said they felt a use
full preparation had been made. The
Americans said they particularly got
the impression the Europeans could
really determine to face realities and
do business"
Senator Claude A. Swanson was chief
American spokesman.
Senator Swanson asked that the
American plan, which provides for a
percentage reduction for all countries,
after determining their defense needs
by adding police needs to colonial de-
fense requirements. be placed on the
agenda of the informal talks. which
will be resumed tomorrow.
Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald
of Great Britain, who came here from
Lausanne for the week end, explained
the British plan for qualitative dtsarln-
ament by means Of long holiday on
certains arms of offensive character,
and Joseph Paul-Boncour presented the
French plan for a global cut in defense
budgets.
The opinion was expressed IN Amer
ican and other quarters that some
agreement would have to be reached
within the next few weeks or the con-
ference would have to admit failure.
Drop Tardieu's Plan.
The French have abandoned. for the
present. former Premier Tardieu'S plan
for arming the League of Nations, 1t
was learned today as the Americans,
British and French resumed their
private conversations.
NJ. Paul -Boncour and his colleagues
made it clear that France no longer
considers it possible to secure the adop-
ton of the plan for internatlonalizing
strong police force under the League
in the brief period in which 1t is now
proposed to accomplish concrete re-
suit In the way Of disarmament.
