Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Behind the Naval Conference Andre Tardieu, the French premier, crystallized the | deeper significance of the naval limitations conference at London Tuesday when, in stating the attitude of France, he gave utterance to the prediction that it meant more than was indicated on the surface and that ulti- mately it would stand for peace in itself. . Tardieu said that “the immediate object of the cor- ference is to promote the solution of a great problem ‘under iis two aspects, namely, the problem of limitation | and of reduction of naval armament. But we also know that within that limited field we shall presently make a decisive experiment in organization of world peace.” This is encouraging from one of the nations that js known to have conditions to interpose that will make the task of finding a common agreement difficult to attain without tremendous discussion, and perhaps considerable friction. eee Other nations in the conference also made their con- tribution of hopefulness to the parley. Japan, for in- stance, which is remaining rather close-mouthed on its desires, through Reijiro Wakatsuki, its chief delegate, de- clared it “is the unanimous desire of the Japanese na- tion that peace shall be lastingly established. Japan,’ he said, “pledges her free and loyal collaboration with the other powers in the conference, and she is prepared to go, in conjunction with them, to the limit in naval disarmament. She is ready to effect not merely a limit- ation but an actual reduction in naval strengths, which she considers to be an appropriate and necessary program Of peace. Her only concern is to keep the sense of na- tional security of the people undisturbed by people re- taining such force as is adequate for the defense of the empire but not sufficient for offensive operations.” eee It was a moving thought also which Premier Mac- Donald, of Great Britain, injected into the verbal staging of the conference, when he touched on the reservations which may lurk in the minds of some of the powers to make mere platitudes of the sentiments for peace piously uttered. He said that he knew that the “plea of ‘need’ can be stretched almost to infinity and that in it lurks danger, but if peace is in our hearts and reduction of armaments in our minds the substance of what con- stitutes our ‘needs’ can be fairly admitted by each of us as regards the other and be satisfied in the form and provisions of an agreement; and the conference will be . @ conspicuous success.” eee ‘The attitude of the United States as expressed by Henry L. Stimson, heading the American delegation, should be of an essuring effect on the procecdings and the temper 4n which the other powers will approach the subject. He spoke for the wider limitation of arms that will bring the ‘world nearer to the consummation of renouncing war which was taken when the Kellogg-Briand peace pact ‘was signed. “I feel it is important to emphasize,” he said, “the fact that we do not look upon this effort toward disarmament as final. Naval limitation is a continuous process. We regard disarmament as a goal to be reached by succes- sive steps, by frequent revision and improvement. While the greatest contribution my country can make is in Naval matters, it must not be forgotten our ultimate aim is a general solution of the disarmament problem and a consequent lessening of the risks of war. For that rea- on, however great the achievements of this conference in regard to the naval problem, our zeal in the general cause of disarmament and our efforts to contribute to the suc- ess of future endeavors in other fields will continue unabated.” zi eee Thus the conference stands for hope alone at this Stage. With each nation, however, this hope is an in- dividual goal in the direction of peace, perhaps as much | @ desire to increase naval armament of some types as to reduce, others and lacking clear cut and decisive ad- ‘thesion to the intent set by President Hoover. As long as these diverstfications fail to whittle down Yo a common purpose the vision of agreement which was the inspiration to President Hoover and Prime Minister ‘MacDonald in calling together the five participating powers, will arrive at no common point. It is difficult at this juncture, therefore, to focus either expectation or ‘opinion as to what the conference will be able to accom- plish. ese | it. | Bossy, the dairy cow, can not complain over the ate] dividual of splendid build and gorgeous feather. They are of the type which should build up North Dakota tur- key flocks. Dakota turkeys now enjoy a reputation sec- ond to none, and with such birds for breeding as are on exhibition here, there seems to be no reason for any misgiving that the state's turkey reputation will diminish. The poultry industry of North Dakota is another up and coming activity of the farms of the state. It fits in with the scheme of diversification like a hand in a glove. Properly handled there is considerable money in| With wheat no longer dependable for its old returns | to agriculture these diversifying branch lines of hus- bandry are the salvation of Nofthwestern farming. As a stimulus to the development of the ppultry business in this region, the Slope show deserves a continuation of the support heretofore accorded it and the cooperation | of all the agencies which have helped stage it annually. Butter Meets Its Crisis tention she received at the North Dakota Dairymen’s| convention here. Her cause was admirably upheld, which means that championship of @ great and growing in- dustry over the entire Northwest was vouchsafed at a time when a crisis has arisen, Profitable dairying has| been smitten by the competition of oleomargarine and un- employment in such a way that @ check threatens its development in this state, one of the last to adopt the dairy cow as one of the big factors of diversified agri- culture. If butterfat prices continue to drop as they have since last May, when butter consumption began to decline, the enthusiasm which has been expanding dairy- ing in North Dakota will be chilled. With the shrinking of the cream check, the farmer will be inclined to feel ; that he has gone up another blind alley. The resolution of the dairymen, therefore, to fight the competition of artificial butter or substitutes for butter is understandable. The prosperity of the industry in North Dakota is at stake. Along with it the indtrect pros- perity of the entire state is involved, especially its agri- culture, now that it has become diversified. The figures made known at the convention seem to present the case. There has been an incerase in oleo consumption in 1929 over 1928 of 37,000,000 pounds. But- ter consumption has fallen off 25,000,000 pounds. A sur- plus of butter has arisen which is 33,000,000 pounds above the normal five-year average of 48,000,000 pounds at this time of the year. These conditions, say the centralizers, are forcing them to reduce butterfat prices. The immense surplus of 81,837,000 pounds is turning butter into a drag on their business, tying up capital and threatening the business with losses. Inquiry among the farmers furnishing but- terfat, say the creamery men, has disclosed that many of these when they sell their cream, buy oleo for their tables and thus do injury to their own business. The convention sent out a trumpet call to these farmers to end this commercial harikari and eat butter, to the end that the surplus not only may be kept from growing but, such as it is, may be reduced, Legislation is almost certain tg be applied to this situa- tion, which is nationwide and has claimed the attention of the dairy committee of the federal Farm board. In congress there are steps under way to curb oleo by enact- ments barring coloring of the substitute, so that it will not take on the deceptive color of butter, the trade mark of which is yellow. In that way the buyer will know by its white shade that he is getting oleo, and butter by the golden. Both the dairyman and the laborer who may not be able to afford high-priced butter thus will be pro- tected. The association also named a legislative committee to function at the next session of the legislature. The Proposal to tax oleo, which was lost through a defec- tive enacting clause in the last session, is likely to be brought up again, judging by the crisis that has arisen and by the temper in which the dairymen are. The case of butter, dairying and diversified agriculture not only in this discussion of oleo but in the other ad- dresses of the program was well presented by the con- vention and it was well worth while that so many of the | dairy representatives came here to hear and participate. The one unfortunate phase of the turnout was the failure of many farmers to attend. It was their case that was up and they lost contact with a lot of informa- ; tion that would have furnished profitable guidance to them had they heard it. Our Political Groupings \5 The editor of Collier's Magazine sat down the other| & day to find out how many political parties we really have | in the United States today. He made out a list somée-| thing like this: Progressive Republicans, Grundy Republicans, the | Larger-Minded Republicans, the Hoover Republicans, the Southern Democrats, the Al Smith Democrats, the West- | ern Progressive Democrats, the Democratic-Progressive- | Republican Coaliticn Party— And then he quit in despair. ig Probably you can think of three or four more classifica< tions; and the mattcr is complicated by the fact tha’ | Some people belong to two or three of these groupings | at once. The whole situation emphasizes anew our need for a new political alignment. If the present chaotic situa- tion in the Senate helps to bring such a thing about we shall all be better off.

Now they were coming to December. May and December. Ob, why should that hateful, hack- neyed phrase come to mind? She was shaken and pale— doubtless a reaction from her tem- pestuous outburst the night before. Judith tried to conquer the mood. She put on her brightest frock, a sreen velvet with skirt and bolero of solid color and a plaid blouse combining crimson, yellow and black. Her hair looked a mass of silken high lights and she used car- mine to accentuate her vivid lips. Then, summoning reassurance, she set out jauntily to find Arthur. It was late morning. She found her husband, as she had expected, in the purser’s office. They strolled toward the library. “Arthur,”’ said Judith with forced cheerfulness, “do you know what's almost here?” “Certainly. New York harbor. Only you've got it wrong, dear. It isn't almost here—we're almost there.” Laughing, she shook her head. : “You've forgotten.

Make you forget every- ‘thing in the world that’s season- able. Christmas—Judith, what day is it?” “Sunday,” she told him prompt- ly. “Sunday, the 17th of December.
