THE BIADLIGIT
President Likely to Accept
Le ague’s Invitation to
Disarmament Parley
By EDWARD W PICKARD
PItKSII HINT t’OOLIIHJF is desirous
of accepting the invitation of the
League of Nations to participate in
the preliminary discussion of a world
disarmament congress and with that
tn view lie lias conferred with con-
gressional leaders asking ' whether It
is necessary to obtain the permission
of congress anil an appropriation
Among others ( liairman i’orali of the
senate foreign relations committee was
called to the White House When lie
left lie said lie was in complete accord
with the President on the subject und
It was iudicuted that the Chief Execu-
tive intended to submit ttie matter to
congress Senator Ienroot of Wiscon-
sin also tulked with Mr Cool id ge and
he said most of the senate would fav-
or accepting the invitation of the
league Former Secretary of State
Hughes was u guest of the President
at luncheon and this led to the belief
he would le named to head the Amer-
ican delegation to 1 the congress
which was held to be quite fitting
since he is given iarge credit for the
Washington armament conference of
1921 Hugli C rilisoii minister to Switz-
erland will represent America in the
preliminaries
According to information from the
White House the President lias con-
siderably modified ids Idea that the
United States might appropriately par-
ticipate in a conference for the fur-
ther reduction of naval armament
but that Inasmuch as the limitation
of land armament is almost solely an
European problem America should not
take part in the discussion of that
matter unless invited in to compose
differences of the European nations on
the question
' - Whether It will be necessary to ob-
"taln the consent of congress to accept-
ance 5 of tlie league's invitation is a
matter still undetermined The Knox
reservation to the Berlin treaty appar-
ently is not applicable but the act of
1913 forbids acceptance of an Invita-
tion to x an international conference
without specific authority of law Sen-
ator King of Utah has introduced In
the senate a resolution authorizing
the President to accept the invitation
and Representative Hamiltou Fish of
New York has Introduced a similar
resolution in the house The matter
probably must await the reassembling
of congress on January 4
Another matter upon which Mr
Coolidge sought the advice of Mr
Hughes was the appeal by Chile from
the decision of General Pershing de-
laying the Tacna-Arlca plebiscite un-
til April 15
CONGRESS adjourned Wednesday
for a 13-day holiday recess The
house had passed the tax reduction
bill — which will not have such an easy
'passage through t lie senate — and hud
made ready to take a vote on the
treasury-post office supply bill immedi-
ately after reconvetdng It ulso udopt-
ed a resolution calling for an investi-
gation of the alleged manipulation of
crude rubber prices by the British
colonial government
While considering the treasury ap-
propriation measure the representa-
tives found an opportunity to give old
John Barleycorn nnotlier hard jab
Mr Tucker of Virginia a dry sought
to amend the bill so as to restrict the
use of funds in the purchase of liquor
as evidence of law violation The pro-
posed appropriation for this purpose
Is 5250000 and Mr Tucker's amend-
ment would have provided that no por-
tion of tlds might tie used “to induce
any person by fraud deceit or false-
hood to violate the prohibition law”
The argument was long and warm em-
bracing tiie merits or demerits of pro-
hibition but when it onnio to a vote
only 17 supported Mr Tucker while
139 were ngainst him Tills being in
the committee of the whole the votes
were not recorded
COLONEL MITCHELL- may well
pray to be saved from Ids friends
If those who arose in congress in his
behalf are representative of the men
who believe In the suspended officer
Nothing could harm his cause more
than the action of such men ns Blan-
ton of Texas La Gunrdla of New York
and Tiil man of Arkansas who have
been abusing the court-martial and its
verdict and seeking ways of undoing
what It did Secretary of Wur Davis
It is said tn Washington is going to
try to restore harmony between the
various branches of the army and at
the same time is determined to tuke
drastic measures if necessary to
maintain absolute discipline He
knows no reuson for delay in bringing
the significance of the Mitchell case
home to nny other branch of the serv-
ice wheretliere has been evidence of
open ui'igro uciil -e'tlieil deparl-
mental or iintional policies
Representative Bloom of New York
has proposed to Mayor-Elect Walker
that Colonel Mitchell be appointed
police eoniniishioner of New York city
lie said lie believed congress would
enact any legislation necessary -to
make the appointment possible
Brio gen sunnyoY r isutleu
resigned front I lie marine corps in
order to continue as director of public
safety of Philadelphia Mayor Kend-
rick then in a stormy Interview with
Butler told him he did not wnnt hint
In his cabinet “ns a resigned officer
because he did not want any other
action misunderstood by President
Coolidge” who had refused the gen-
eral n furt Iter leave of absence lie
demanded that Butler resign and this
being refused he dismissed film from
Ills position It was understood that
General Butler’s resignation from the
marine corps would be withdrawn
Concerning bis plans lie suid:
“I’m going to my home in Over-’
brook and I'm going to drive there In
a car of the United States marine
corps Tlie marines can take care of
me and I’d rather be In tlie murine
corps than in 15000000 cities like
Philadelphia”
Dissatisfaction with President
Coolldge’s farm relief legislation
policies was voiced at Des Moines by
the executive committee of tlie Amer-
ican Council of Agriculture and the
Corn Belt Committee of Farm Organi-
zations Tlie Joint committee which
claims to represent more than a mil-
lion farmers of the Middle West criti-
cized Mr Coolidge’s recent address
concerning agriculture denied that the
Fordney-McCumber tariff is of great
benefit' to agriculture as a whole and
announced that an export measure
would be submitted to congress A
resolution adopted notes “with a
degree of amusement” that the new
measure sponsored by Secretary Jar-
dine is to prove a means of salvation
to the farmer by supplying him with
an expert fund of information ubout
the “mysteries of co-operative market-
ing” Farmers the resolution says
have more information than they need
— in fact have but little else and need
“a fair price rather than more infor-
mation” Congress is warned In another sec-
tion of the Joint committee’s resolu-
tions that Industry “should not blame
the farmers If they Invoke the prin-
ciple of self-preservation and declare
war on the protective tariff" This
“war” is promised If Industry Insists
that it cannot exist without the tariff
and refuses to grant agriculture like
protection
High up In the Republican party
too- there are those who believe that
the President’s plans do not go far
enough Among them are Senator Cnp-
per Former Governor Bowden of Illi-
nois and Vice President Dawes Mr
Capper has his own program the main
features of which are :
1 Legislation providing machinery
for segregating tlie surplus of nny
crop selling it abroad for what it will
bring presumably at a price below
that of tlie home market and dis-
tributing tlie losg among the pro-
ducers 2 Development of co-operative mar-
keting with the assistance of govern-
ment agencies
3 Liberalization of the farm loan’
law and amplification of the farm
credit system i
4 Tax relief for the farmer to- be
accomplished by rigid economy in na-
tional and local governments and by
a constitutional amendment prohibit-
ing Issuance of tax free securities the
present and increasing volume of
which is becoming an unbearable tax
burden to agriculture
HAT was characterized us ote

oats to skyrocket on the Chicago board
