NEWS REVIEW OF
CORSENT EVENTS
Nye of North Dakota Seated
in Senate by Close Vot
Farm Relief Prospects.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
S MENATOR BORAH, who had said he
would vote against seating Gerald
P. Nye, the appointee of Governor
Sortie of North Dakota to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Senator
Ladd, changed his mind when the
case came to s vote last week. The
consequence was that Mr. Nye was
seated by a fote of 41 to 89. While
most of the Democrats and more radi
cal Republicans applauded, Senator
Frasier escorted his new colleague up
the center aisle to Vice President
Dawes' dais and the oath of office was
administered.
The acceptance of Mr. Nye was said
to be due partly to the fact that he Is
to be counted among the opponent# of
American adhesion to the world court.
Furthermore, some of the senator#
were averse to rejecting a man who
is avowedly a champion of the Middle
West farmers, not desiring to vex the
agriculturists,
that Inflüenced some votes wa# the
feeling that North Dakota nhould not
be deprived, for seven months, of full
representation on a technicality. The
senate's vote establishes a precedent,
upholding the contention that a sen
ator Is both a "state officer" and an "of
ficer of the United States," and that
his state properly has something to
say as to the method and machinery
o l bia election,_—t—
Yet another reason
RNR1K 8HIPSTBAD of Minneso
ta, the only Farmer-Labor sena
tor, took a hard fall out of the world
court resolution Wednesday In a
three-hour speech in the course of
which he undertook to demonstrate
that the court; Instead of being an
agency for the preservation of pence.
Is a part of the war machinery of the
League of Nations.
"The power," he said, "to enforce
the decisions of the court hy war is
vested In the League of Nations by the
treaty called the covenant
"Thus we have a clear program for
Inaugurating all kinds of 'legal* wars
on the assumption that the wars levied
under this arrangement will be 'le
gal.' and under the further assumption
that wars In the past have been il
legal.'
"How many governments In the his
tory of the world have started il
legal' wars?
"All of the governments that have
started illegal' wars, please say 'aye.*
"Silence. Senators I hear no sound.
"All that have started
H
governments
only 'legal' ware, please say 'aye.' Sen
ators, all the governments in history
shoot In chorus, 'aye'!''
Senator McKinley of Illinois spoke
briefly in favor of the resolution of
adherence to the court, declaring that
neither our Monroe Doctrine nor our
Philippine protectorate had got us In
to trouble with other nations nor
would our entry into the world court.
"There la a crying need at this time
for a foreign market for our corn, our
wheat and our hog products.'' Senator
McKinley said. "Europe needs all the
food we can sell her. One hundred
millions of people in Italy, Germany,
England, Austria and Hungary are liv
ing on half rations. Why? Because
working conditions have never become
settled since the war. What will settle
them? An assurance of continued
peace."
C ONGRESS seemingly stands ready
to provide relief for the farmers If
only the farmers can agree on what
they want. At this writing they are
still split into factions and are unable
to get together on the question of
what legislation will best do the work.
The meeting of the National Council
of Fanners' Co-operative Marketing
associations took some two hundred
delegates to Washington and they, to
gether with other farm leaders, told
Secretary Jardine, congress and the
country at large their views—which
were varions and diverse. In a gen
eral way most of them favored the ad
minist ration measure providing ma
afclnvn* for the promotion of co-oper
atlve marketing, and consequently
that bill was reasonably certain to be
favorably reported by the house agri
cultural committee. The co-operative
men, or many of them, do not stand
with the farm paper editors and the
farm bloc leaders In the matter of
controlling crop surpluses to boost
farm product prices, and In this they
are in line with the administration.
However, the Dickinson bill Is looked
on kindly by the middle-of-the-roaders,
and its main features were highly com
mended by Frank O. Lowden of Illi
nois in a speech of great significance.
Mr, Lowden, frequently mentioned
ns a potential corn and wheat belt
candidate for the Republican nomina
tion for President In 1928, enunciated
the farmers' demand for a sped ally
protected domestic market affording as
profitable returns as the protective
tariff affords the manufacturer profit
able returns. He advocated the plan
to segregate the export surplus and
enhance the domestic price above the
world market price which has been
embodied In the Dickinson hill. He de
clared the doctrine of crop surplus
control was vital for the salvation not
only of agriculture, but of the very
nation Itself.
C. L. Rlcheson of Iowa, president of
the National Com Growers' associa
tion, told President Coolldge that the
so-called revolt of the com belt has
been exaggerated. He denied that the
farmers have declared war on the pro
tective tariff and asserted that they
could work out their own salvation If
given such aid In disposal of their ex
port surplus as Is proposed In the
Dickinson bill. The credit situation In
Iowa, he said, had been greatly Im
proved by the loans of the two Inter
mediate credit banks established In
that state recently,
OHN W. LANGLEY resigned as a
representative from Kentucky when
the Supreme court refused to review
hi# conviction for violation of the pro
hibition law#. He now asks the Re
publicans of his district to elect his
wife to fill the vacant «eat In con
gress, asserting that she knows better
than anyone else (be needs of the dls
triot.
In Chicago, Mrs. Jacob Baur, a well
known business Woman, ha# announced
her candidacy for «Ingres« from the
Ninth district. no*r represented by
Fred Britten Whom she will oppose in
the Republican primaries In A|«il.
Mrs. Baur, like Congresswomen Kalin
and Norton, favors the liberalization
of the dry enforcement law.

era and In violation not only of Inter
national law, but also of the agree
ment made between Mexico and the
United Slates In 1923.
In Its reply the Mexican government
took the stand that Mexico Is a sov
ereign nation and can moke any laws
It see# fit. It also asserted that the
laws had not been promulgated and
so the protest was premature. This
was offset, however, hy a statement Is
sued by the department of Industry
and commerce which said the laws
were promulgated on December 81,
The legislation In question Is de
signed to carry out that article of the
Mexican constitution which provides
that only Mexicans and Mexican com
panies have the right to acquire own

purtenances, or to obtain concessions

UOO SLAVIA'S debt funding mis
sion arrived lb Washington last
week, and on the same day King Alex

to the limit of the country's resources.
Senator Henri Berenger, the new
ambassador from France, also reached
Washington. His special mission is to
bring about a settlement of the French
debt. The Italian debt settlement
probably will be approved by congress,

A CCORDING to the final report of
the Consens senatorial committee
that Investigated the amortization of
war facilities, the Internal revenue
bureau permitted improper allowances
in that connection that have cost the
government a total of $210,665,360. Al
lowances Involving "discovery deple
tion," ft Is asserted, benefit the oil In
dustry to the extent of $37,500.000 an
nually, the total having been much
higher than this while war time tax
rates were In effect. The loss to the
government In taxes due to erroneous
valuations of copper mines. It Is farth
er declared, amounts to $60,000,000
annually.
I NCREASED price# of rubber due to
control by the British government
have resulted In the formation of two
American organizations "to protect
rhe American public and the rubber
industry with respect to future sup
plies." The first, the Rubber Associa
tion of America, announced It was
planning the expenditure of $19,000.000
a year for five years to plant rubber
tree# In areas under American control
or where favorable conditions would
be assured. The National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce announced the
formation of a $10,000,000 organization
by automobile manufacturers to pro
duce, purchase and deni In raw rub
ber, as well as to manufacture rub
her tires.
OPE of settling the anthracite
strike in the near future has gone
glimmering. The Joint conference of
operators and miners, which began In
December, broke up last week because
of the deadlock over the matter of ar
bitration. The operator# charged Presi
dent Lewis with seeking to rule or,
ruin and said he had suggested to
them that they might raise the price
of coal $5 a ton "as long as he got
what he wanted." This Lewis hotly
dented, retorting that the operators
were determined to prevent any set
tlement. The operators refused to
permit the arbitration of prices of
coal, and the miners would not accept
arbitration of wages unless It was
guaranteed that wages should not be

lowered.

Burial Statute
A man drafted In Montana but re
jected for physical disabilities as soon
as he reached Camp Lewis, was still a
sokfier under the Montana law provid
ing for burial of veterans at public ex
pense,, an opinion given the Syvyr.Bow
commissioners by Comity Attorney T.'
E. Downey says, The opinion was
sought when relative*' of a man who
recently died In Butte asked for $125
to reimburse them for funeral costs.
The deceased had been Inducted into
the service in Butte with the first call
and -was sent to Camp Lewis. Here
he was given another physical exami
nation and turned loose. The war de
partment's records Indicate that he
was "discharged from draft," and as
an ex-soldier is considered to be one
"discharged from army ^service," the
question Of whether or not the county
should pay the burial came up.
In the ruling Mr. Downey held that
as far as the soldier and Montana were
considered, he was in service as he
had passed the local examining board
and was taken to camp from the state.
If he had left the train en route, he
would have been a deserter, the at
torney held, and consequently he iptist
have been a soldier so far as the burial
law Is concerned. The commissioners
issued the reimbursement order.
