Ramsay McDonald Holds T o ? ? Ideals Of Woodrow Wilson Believer of league ??f Nation* hut Will Seek to Lead Europe and the World Into League Kather Thau to Im pose It Upon Europe and the World By FRANK H. KIMOXDS Cop) rhthtml IK!4 by Mrt'lure N>w?paper Syndicate London, Feb. 28.? "In the grand game-of golf to press is to foozle. And even in international affaire man may well bear in mind the golf adage, 'Slow back, follow through'." In these "Vords the British ^rime Minister, Mr. Ramsay' Mac Donald, outlined to jne the! spirit and point of view with; which he approached foreign affairs at the present critic;.! moment in European affairs. "When you are going to drive you do not prers, you do not try to net ahead. fc> be tricky or to be finicky You do not think too much. You step up. make a long, clean, .perfect circle, and the ball goes straight of? down the fairway toward the green." "Now that 1b my conception of for eign policy. The old method was al ways tricky, finicky,*? It always pressed, it always topped and sliced. * No. I will not say always, but usually." We have t-een saying that if you look out for the pence, the pounds will look out for themselves. Well, perhaps, I am not so sure, but I am sure that If you take care of the pounds, the pence will take care of themselves. "Until there is a state of mind in Europe In which doubt and suspici on are absent, it is perfectly useless -Xo~ attempt to discing details; lor then discussion becomes a battle for points. Until there is an atmosphere of mutual confidence, there is no use In even opening the matter of de tails. "Now, I do believe there Is a new feeling of optimism In this country i and in Europe, as to the prospect of j European settlement*. and I do share' it. If you had been here, say, in November, you would realize now j what a change has taken place since rthen, the differences disclosed in the! ; new state of mind between lirltain j and France. Then we did not have I the right state of mind, could not discuss details. Now we can accom : pllsh things and believe we are go ! Ing to accomplish things." ''Again I remind you, don't forget iyour golf; it will teach $ou many things. Remember, in golf not only ! you do not press, but also you have j patience; yes. patience is very much I in golf, ? and in International af 1 fairs, also." I "What about your plans for mak ing wider use of the League of Na | tions than hitherto?" 1 asked. 1 "Well, I do not care to say much about that. I have spoken and writ ten lily views there. That is a sub ject which, if you talk abotit it loose ly, your views get spread abroad in exactly. I think I had better refer you to what I have written on that subject. "I will say, however, that the League is there, that we must, we shall, make much more use of it than we have so far." "What about Labor and Russia?" I asked. "In America there is not a little tendency to see a connection between DritiAh labor and Moscow." "I know, I know," he r?*pll?'d, with just a touch of feeling. "I know what 1b said in Arfierica and else where about the relation of our par ty to Moscow; but it is all so absurd, so absurd, the Whole idea that ther?> is any connection between us and j Moscow. No one has fought Moh- i cow as bitterly as British labor. Why ' ? -j I * . I Huge Cotton Plantations Are Springing Up In T exas Gang Plows und Tractors ure Being Used in Lone Star State to Develop Immense Tracts Devoted Exclusively to Cotton 1'rodtictioii With No Stock to Feed Hy J. C. ROYLK Copyright, l?24. by The Advanca New York, Feb. 2?. ? The gang plows are working day and night West Texas turning up the sod on new land which will be planted to c*tton. It is anticipated that the, fields to be covered by the white j bolls the" coming season in thai State will be increased from 14,000,000 to~16,000,000 acres. Most of this increase will be on new land never before cultivat ed, and much of it will be done under a system not extensively employed in this branch of ag riculture heretofore. A plow, a mule and a negro for- 1 merly were the prime requisites rfor cultivation of cotton In the South. It has been found, however, ' that by' employing tractors, and working them on gang plows 24 hours a day It Is possible to plow new land at 1 W?out 54 cents an acre as compared1 with about $3.50 an acre under old conditions. Many of the new plan tations will be without livestock. All labor will be done by machinery ex- 1 cept picking, and for that gangs of Mexicans are available at prices somewhere around 1 Vt cents a ' pound. Much of the new land being brok en Is outside the boll weevil belt. If ; fne pqst reaches them, it will be possible to flght its incursions more effectively on big fields than on scat tered patches. In addition the cul tivators will not liave to devote land, time or labor to cultivation of feed crops, as no farm animals will be employed. However, none can guarantee the weather and that Is a factor more potent even than the ov ercoming of the boll weevil in aa- 1 miring a large crop this year. Cotton can and will be produced in the South as long ps the climate and soil remain the same, but the weather is a factor beyond control. Cost of production undeniably is growing lilM^r In the old districts and it Is only through adoption 'of new methods In new districts -that growers see hope of holding costs down. So far as the situation affects the mills, however, New England manu facturers nnd Government official are fnirly hotpeful. The latter point out that the requirements of the mills are so varied tha| even mills located in the heart of the cotton belt are taking supplies from fields a thousand miles av^ay In order to secure the specific kind of raw cot tOn thev desire. The New Hedford storage ware house authorities state: "Shlppefp would do 'well to not., ?hit staple cotton such as New Eng-. land usee Is in relatively greater supply In proportion to the normal demanll titan Is the case with com ? We sell and iniar*ntee ?Very b*g of Holiday ami Sliver Dust Flotiy SP&VCE ELLIOTT Elisabeth X. C. moil Hhort Btaple varieties. This fact may enable New England fine goods mills to keep running after a number of Soutlu>rn goods plants have been compelled to close for j lack of material. It is the selected staple #types of cotton that now are i finding a ready market in almost all J the. chief New England consuming j centers. More particularly has the demand been centered here, for it is to this city that most of the cotton mills look for their high quality cot ton." Shipments of cotton from the South to New England continue to diminish, according to official re- i ports of freight agents. Receipts in t the last month in the five leading New England mill cities were less than for the last few months. It is admitted that spinners tnkings have fallen off but it is seriously ques tioned whether these reflect the facts as to consumption. Few people in touch with the cot ton situation take seriously propos als that manufacturers should them selves go into the raising of cotton for their own needs. Such efforts in j the past, they agree, have been far! from successful. The investment of. the Goodyear Tire Company In Arl-' zona is cited as one of these instanc-l es. An English syndicate bought' 100.000 acres of cotton land In Mis sissippi not so long ago with the ob ject of securing an independent sup ply. but it is understood that the American managers could not oper ate the property successfully along the lines desired by the English spin ners. Government officials say, inci dentally that nritish mills this seas- . on hi?v?- anticipated their needs far into the future and that therefore in. event of a shortage they would not | be a factor In a rush to buy. Mrs. J. E. Commander and child ren. Mary and Margaret Commander of Norfolk have returned home after being the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. \V. Walker on West Main street.

We did that at the Berlin conference where ef i forts were made to unite the second and third Internationale, and I was put up to make the fight. "We fought Moscow, we * have beaten Moscow, we are not afraid ofl it. Moscow has little or. no follow ing in this country. Now and then it attempts something in the way of propaganda; it may give us a little trouble, but not much. It Is no long er a danger in this country. "I do not say that It never can bo i a peril again. Yes, It was a danger ionce, when it was young and strong, when Europe was in tumult. But it lis only a danger now in those parts of Europe where the devastation of| war remains. This country is not afraid; we know it, we have faced |it, and we hvae beaten it. "As for the British Labor party, the British Socialist party, It has always* been national. In point of fact, we Scotch have always headed It. But Scotch, Welsh, English, all <w% internationalisms, have been In ternational from the British point of view, not from that of Moscow. I "^o party has been or remains more thoroiwhly British In its orig in and history than the British La-| bor party. 10 confuse it in any way with Moscow is absurd." And now. without seekiim; to make further direct quotation, and, there fore, assu:.iing full responsibility for the interpretation, I should like very briefly to set forth the essen tial details of British foreign policy under Ramsay MacDonald as I gathered them in my tnlk with him, and from other leaders in his party and movement. As to the main Issues, labor can no more change the direction of British foreign policy than It can modify the fact that Britain is an island. The divergence between France and British interests and pol icies is mea*ureably inevitable. Mac Donald must oppose France in such things as the Ruhr occupation, pre cisely as have Baldwin and Lloyd George. Such difference as there may be must be in method. Under] Lloyd George, British policy was dexterous, clever, what the present Prime Minister would perhaps call finicky. It won victories only to be obliged to begin all over again. Un <1? r Curzon it was arrogant. Lloyd George made promises which were not meant to be kept; Curzon made threats which proved empty. The result was the creation of an atmos pheer in which confidence was lack ing, neKotiatlons were no more than hostilities. It was impossible to dis cuss details because the spirit made discussion futile. The whole effort of MacDonald since ho came to power is to 're move that atmosphere of doubt and suspicion, to make discussion of de tails possible. He believes, the Bri tish people believe, he has been measureably successful. But it is clearly recognized in London that there is a second condition antece dent to success, namely, a consider able change in the French temper. This, too, London believes is coming about, but it appreciates, MacDonald appreciates, that the change must come naturally, so as to have neith er the character of a British triumph nor of a French humiliation. In many ways MacDonald holds strikingly the ideals of the late Pres ident Wilson, but with this radical difference: Mr. Wilson assumed the! existence in the world of a state of i mind which did not cjrtst., and on this J eh based his whole action at Paris. MacDonald, on the contrary, believes that the main task is to create this state of mind, that the rest will be simple. We are, then, almost sure to seA a new world conference one day if the Labor Ministry lasts; but in the meantime the Prime Minister will not "press."
