Premier Laval in Washington Conferring With President
Hoover ? Status of Manchurian Embroglio ?
Blanket Fieight Rate Increase Denied.
Bv EDWARD W. PICKARD
PTKRRR LAVAL, premier of Prance,
arrived In the United States Thurs
day for his conversat'ons with Presi
dent Hoover. Hurrying at once to
Washington, he was
received there with
all due formality and
cordiality and was
housed. with his en
tourage. in the man
sion of Ambassador
Walter F.dge. There
was the sta'.ed round
of calls, receptions
and dinners, all ar
ranged In advance by
Warren Delano Rob
bins. the "chef de pro
Laval tooo|~ both M
Lava! and his daughter. Mile. Josette.
seemed to enjoy themselves.
However, the chief Interest In the
premier's visit centered In his talks
with Mr. Hoover. What they discussed
and what conclusions they reached. If
any. wore nut to be given out to the
public until the affair was all over.
But It was known that liie French mis
sion was concerned especially with
questions of finance and disarmament
and would try to reach an agreement
Id which those two matters would he
linked up with the security which
France continually demands. M. Laval
was troubled by the American be
lief that France is militaristic and
did his best to dispel that Idea. On
the way over he intimutcd that about
the limit he expected from America
In the way of security guarantees
was a consultative pact to define the
aggressor in wnr. but he thought the
instrument might be so worded as to
imply certain assurances of the at
titude of the United States towards
a power that deliberately forces war.
As to finance, the premier expected
to reach an agreement with Mr. Hoo
ver concerning prolongation of the
moratorium on war debts and repara
tlons. He also hoped plans might he
laid for an international conference
to examine the gold and -credit ques
tions, i
FOR one minute Wednesday night
the people of the United States
turned out their electric lights in
tribute to the memory of Thomas Alva
Edison ? an impressive demonstration
that was requested by President Hoo
ver. That day the funeral of the
greatest inventor of all time was held
in West Orange and his body was
laid In the tomb. The services were
simple but many thousands of mourn
ing men ?ind women were there. Mr.
Hoover was kept In Washington by
official duties, but he was represented
by Mrs. Hoover. Henry Ford and
Harvey Firestone, closest friends of
Edison, were prominent In the throng.
They had said goodby to him two
weeks before when all knew his death
was not far off.
J\PAN removed the Manchurian em
broglio from the front page tem
porarily when It withdrew its objec
tions to American participation In the
discussion of that mut
ter by the League of
Nations. This, how
ever. was a mere for
mality for Prentiss
Gilbert. American con
sul at Geneva, already
was sitting In with
the league council.
The committee of five
of the council sug
gested that the pow
ers signatory to the
Kellogg anti-war pact
call to the attention
of Japan and China
their obligations under that treaty,
and identical notes on that line were
aent to Tokyo and Nanking by Great
Britain, the United States. France,
Italy. Germany, Spain and other na
tions.
Then the council committee contin
ued Its discussions of the Manchur
lan question and it was reported that
its attitude was being reversed ow
ing to alleged auggestlons from Wash
ington. Japan. It appeared, was about
to win a complete dfplomntlc victory,
and the Chinese delegates were dumb
founded. In other words, it was ru
mored the council would decide that
Japan's occupation of Manchuria
might continue indefinitely until Tokyo
was satisfied that the security of Jap
anese In the province was amply guar
anteed. and that negotiations between
Japan and China should begin at once.
There was every reason to believe that
tbeee conclusions would be Indignant
ly rejected bj China.
Diplomats la Geneva feared the re
Prentisa
Gilbert
6ults of the council's rumored change
of view. prophesying that the Nanking
government would fall, that there
would again be chaos la China and
that the Influence of the league and
of white nations generally Id the
Bast would greatly decline.
Briand. as a kind of mediator, asked
Japan to abandon the fifth of Its five
points, which demands "a new ar
r&Qgs&ic&t between the 3uui.ii Mnu
churian and the Chinese railways In
Manchuria to obtain co-operation, and
it was Intimated In Tokyo that this
might be done.
Japan's other points are:
1. A mutual pledge by both nations
tot to resort to aggression.
2. Chinese abandonment of antl
Japanese movements. Including boy
cotts and antl-Jupunese propaganda
In school textbooks.
3. Mutual respect for territorial In
tegrity.
4. Chinese recognition of the valid
ity of the existing treaties guaran
teeing protection of Japanese life and
property and the right to reside and
engage in peaceful occupations on
leased land in Manchuria.
These ire not final terms, but are
considered by Japan essential preced
ing withdrawal of troops to the rail
way zone.
In reply to the nations that Invoked
the Kellogg pact. Foreign Minister
Shidehara declares that Japan rec
ognizes fully Its responsibility under
the pact and holds that its army's ac
tion in Manchuria has been activated
solely by reasons of self-defense and
also to protect Japanese lives and
property against wanton attacks by
Chinese troops and bandits.
The Japanese government, accord
ing to the reply, does not intend to
take recourse to war to obtain a solu
tion of Its differences with China.
The government's aim Is to compose I
th? differences pacifically. 1

unjustified by the economic conditions
prevailing, the Interstate commerce
commission denied the application of
the carriers for the boost.
The commission suggested Instead a
temporary Increase of rates on num
erous specified commodities for a pe
riod ending March 31. 1933. with the
understanding that the additional rev
enue produced by such Increases shall
be pooled by the railroads to meet
deficiencies In Interest payments on
their bonds and other obligations. This
Increase, it was estimated, might pro
duce as much as $125,000,000. whereas
the roads hoped to get $500,000,000
from the blanket raise asked.
In some quarters It was Intimated
that the railroads might now resort to
catting the wages of their 1300.000
workers, which they are lo?h to do
since they realize this would decrease
buying power and In turn decrease
the quantity of freight to be carried.
WHEN rtie President returned to
Washington from the Yorktown
celebration, one of the first delega
tions he received was from Philadel
phia. bearing a strong protest against
parts of the nary economy program,
especially the postponement of the
construction of the S3.000.000 utiI
hospital In that city. Four congress
men told 5Ir. Hoover they thought
work on the hospital shoold go ahead.
Another delegation. which Included
Senators Nye and Frazler of North
Dakota, asked White House aid In
relieving the farm land credit situa
tion In the western and northwestern
farm regions. Later the two senators
said that the President had promised
to aid the federal farm banks by rec
ommending an increase in capitaliza
tion.
They said they told the President
that the present capital of the 12
land banks is tied up In farm land
that cannot be sold, and hence the
farmers In time of stress are not j
able to avail themselves of the credit >
facilities which congress Intended
when it created this particular branch
of the treasury system.

an announcement by Theodore G. Jos

said that whatever else is eliminated
from the budget, the band and the his

The President, he said. Is opposed to
diminishing "the Inspirational value"
of the old Constitution by laying her
up and to taking the "Joy out of life"
by scrapping the band.

Treatment for Sheep
Suffering From Worms
Recently a flock of sheep in south
Alabama was found to be crossly In
f os ted with stomach worms and tape
worms. They had been treated about
once per month with a copper sulphate
solution (1 per cent) and also with
the combination of copper sulphate so
lution and tohacco infusion. The re
suits were not cood The lambs anrl
sheep continued to die Pr Ed Ever
eft of Anhum then used, after starv
ing out the sheep for IS to 2-1 hours, a
combination of 1 per cent copper sul
nhate solution and 1 dram of oil of
chenopodium. This destroyed the
stomach worms and removed the tape
worms.
I>r Tooper Curtice of McNeil ex
periment station of south Mississippi
advises the use of the copper sulphate
solution or It combined with nicotine
sulphate, repeating the dose every two
weeks. The combination may he made
by dissolving 4 ounces copper sul
phate in 3 gallons of water To this
add 3 ounces of 40 per cent nicotine
sulphate. Doses for this combination
are 2 ounces for 4(1- pound lambs. 4
ounces for KP-pound sheep and ft
ounces for 100-pound sheep Add 1
ounce for each additional 10 pounds
1 1- weight. For calves and cattle the
doses range from 3 to 12 ounces ac
cording to age and si7.e If tapeworms
are present add to 1 dram of oil
of chenopodium hut do not repeat r rie
chenopodium as often as once every
two weeks
Sodium Chlorate
The Manitoba weed commission has
found that though sodium chlorate will
kill weeds the cost Is prohibitive for
eeneral application. Results are not
final but tentative conclusions are that
It is effective only if applied in sufiV
dent quantities. An application of a
pound to each hundred square feet Is
required for anything like a complete
kill. This works out to 43* pounds
per acre. At 12 cents per pound the
treatment would cost $52.20 per acre
for the chemical alone. It is evident
that such a cost puts the remedy com
pletely out of the running, except on
small patches of such weeds as sow
thistle and quack grass on nn other
wise clean farm, to prevent the spread
of the pests which might result in com
plete infestation.
Bees as Pollinating Agents
It Is an accepted fact that bees arc
essential to the successful pollination
of those fruits that require cross-polli
nation. It is essential, therefore, rhat
plenty of these busy insects be present
in the orchard when the trees are In
blossom
If the supply of wild hees is insuffi
cient. It may be necessary to brine
hives of honey bees Into the orchard
Just previous to the blossoming period
One strong hive of hees to an acre
of orchard is considered ample, while
in many cases one hive to three or
four acres will insure satisfactory pol
lination. Some beekeepers have gone
Into the business of supplying bees to
