Is not the braggadocio type, says
he'll be in the money when the
final scores are recorded. AStor

Clarke won the event exactly five
years ago.
Santini Is Fourth
Tony Santini, Italian Sweep
stakes champion, who is holding
fourth place, says he Is far from
being out Of the race. He says:

In addition to the appropriation of
1926, 1875, 900, the bill carried authori-
ty for cotton price adjustment pay
ments to cotton producers.
New Plan Explained
The cotton price adjustment pay
ment plan, designed to compensate
producers of the 1885 crop, is fl
nanced under Section 80 of the AAA
which set aside 80 per cent of the
annual customs revenues to be ex-
pended for the benefit of agricul-
ture.
The cotton price adjustment pay
ment plan was predicated upon CO.
operation by producers with the
1885 cotton adjustment program and
their pledge to cooperate in the
1886 program. The Supreme Court
ruling necessitated revision of the
requirements.
The new plan provides for pay
ments to all producers, upon appli-
cation, on their actual production
up to the amount of their Bank
head Allotment, of the differences
between the price of 7s-inch mid
ding spot cotton at the 10 designat-
ed markets and IL cents on the day
of sale of the cotton, but not to ex-
coed cents a pound.

NEW YORK, Feb. IS. - While

ages in many areas.
Retail stocks of axes, shovels and

chains, denatured alcohol, gloves
mittens and other cold weather
items have been frequently insult
ficient to supply the heavy demand,
and wholesalers have been called on
for an unusual amount of rush

came so difficult that early gains

10000 ADDED
TO AUTOMOBILE,
ALLIED GROUPS
Employment Gains Held
Due to Output Schedule
Changes.

Times Special
NEW YORK, Feb. 15-Complete
figures on employment and earn
ings in the automobile industry and
the plants supplying automotive
parts during the final quarter of
1885 disclose that the industry's
new employment sterilization pro-
gram succeeded to a remarkable ex-
tent in its first stage, the Auto
mobile Manufacturers Association
reported today.
Introduction of new automobile
models in November instead of
January resulted in more men be-
ing at work during fall and early
winter than in any previous year,
and the high employment trend
continued into January. On the
basis of this result. the industry al
ready has decided to repeat the pro-
gram, holding the next annual show
on Nov. II.
other Groups Benefit
The favorable result in auto
mobile factories and parts plants
also was obtained to a considerable
degree in such industries as steel,
glass, rubber and electrical equip
ment, which depend to a large ex-
tent on automatic output, and it Is
estimated that altogether, including
these industries. year-end employ
ment for 10000 additional persons
was brought about by the earlier
start on automobile production.
Possibly more important than the
increase in number of men en-
ployed was the striking rise in pay
rolls and in individual average earn
ings, the association said.
In the combined automobile and
automotive parts industries an aver
age of $4,000 men was employed
through October, November and De-
cember. The highest previous mark
for the same quarter was attained in
1923, when an average of AS 900 was
reached-a figure never approached
from that year until 1885.
Pay Roll Nearly Doubled
The average weekly pay roll Of
the combined. industries went to
$13,741, 900, nearly double the pre-
ceding years $76Oo,OOO and more
than three times the depression low
of $3,700,000, in the last quarter of
1882.
In 1928, when generally longer
working hours were in effect, total
pay rolls exceeded the 1885 mark
slightly, reaching $14,0O0,OO0.
While this preliminary showing
does not assure stability of produc-
ton and employment through the
year, marked advance is scored for
the plant workers in elimination of
idle time at the beginning of winter,
when cold weather brings special
demands on pay envelopes, the re-
port concluded.

lions on aircraft carriers and sub
marines and upon the size and
caliber of naval guns.
But the reader must see how lit
tie all this has to do with disarma-
ment. It is merely an agreement
under which the treaty powers en-
ter into certain rules and regula-
tions Of the game of war.
THEY agree not to use
Il cruiser of more than
certain size, just as lot of league
baseball clubs might agree not to
use a ball of more than a certain
size.
These conferences do certainly
illustrate the hopeless futility of
arriving anywhere in the age-old
struggle against the menace of
war by means of disarmament.
Of course, Americans and lovers
of peace should work for dis
armament. Some day it may be
attained. But while the dis
armament conferences go on,
armament conferences themselves
become merely rules committees
for establishing the pace by
which they will increase.
THE agreement reached at Lon
u don is in fact one to increase
ornaments. None of the powers in
volved has as many cruisers as
they are permitted under the
agreement. Hence they will now go
forward to increase that supply OF
weapons.
Disarmament, OF course, means
disarmament, not a mere regula-
ton of the pace and character of
armament. And while the agree
ment may have some advantages,
they have nothing to do with dis
armament.
The American government is now
building war vessels as fast as its
shipyards will permit. The treaty
will make no change in these
plans. The President is committed
to a continuance of building. And
at the very moment when the
agreements are being reached in
London, the chairman of the For
eign Relations Committee of the
Senate is calling for a bigger and
more powerful Navy, in which, of
course, he is actively supported by
the Secretary of the Navy and
quietly by the President of the
United States.
There are four routes favored
against war. One is disarmament.
Another is international agree
ments-like the League of Nations,
the kellogg Pact, the World Court,
etc. Another is the reorganization
Of the economic system of the
world, which would mean world
wide revolution.
The fourth is national one
American neutrality and foreign
policy completely free of foreign
designs. All save the last have been
tried and have proved vain. Now
America turns her back on the
last.
