Robinson. a banker of I-os Angeles, declared in addressing the con vent ion. Banking machinery or establishment by pro ducers of co-opera ttve marketing agencies were suggested as alterna tives. "There are many evidences." he de clared, "of growing dissatisfaction on the part of producers of many com modities, who claim that they are being discriminated against by bank ers or those in control of credit facil ities, and there is constant agitation b such producers for an extension of the principle of co-operative market ing to remedy or at least relieve the (situation.

With a clew that leads the officers to believe that the robbery of the Scottsburg postoffice and store was the work of an ex-convict,, who re cently escaped from the Oregon peni tentiary, their effort today are being' directed to ascertain whether or not a man answering the description of the criminal had been seen in the vicinity of Scottsburg prior to the robbery.

BY HERBERT PULITZER. (Copyright by- the New York Eveninff Post, Inc. Published bv Arranitementl LONDON, Oct. 22. (Special Cable.) Major-General Sir Charles Towns hend, K. C. B., D. S. O., in a recent interview stated that bis resignation from the British army has been ac cepted and he b,ad offered his services to General Wrangel as a protest against any compromise with the bol sheviks. General Townshend is a descendant of Lord Townshend, who fought with Wolfe at Quebec, and has spent his entire life as a soldier. He is pos sibly the greatest military strategist in England. Beginning with the Nile expedition of 18S4-85 he has served in ten campaigns, ending with the Mesopotamian expedition during the last war. There, with a force of only 15.000 men, he conquered half of Mesopo tamia and, acting under superior orders, but against his own judgment, advanced to Kut-el-Amara. Sur rounded by a force of 30,000 Turks officered by Germans, he surrendered only when ordered by his- govern ment, after enduring a five months' siege, during which his forces were reduced to about 7000, after his ra tions were cut down to five ounces of flour a day per man, and when the remnants of his division were dying at the rate of 20 a day from starva tion. He was a- prisoner near Constanti nople more than a year. He tried three times unsuccessfully to escape. While still a prisoner of war he ar ranged the details of Turkey's surrender. BRITISH PARLEY GOES ON (Continued From First Page.) Ttad Tbo Oreeron ian classified ads. Kngland may have a labor govern ment ay a result of the present indus trial upheaval, it was dclard 1 oda y by close observers here of the prog ress of the coal strike in England, who said that -reaction will almost certainly follow the existing- contest between labor and the government. One of the outstanding probabili ties in the event of the defeat of the Lloyd George ministry is the settle ment by its successor of the Irish problem. British organized labor is opposed to the governmental policy of reprisal in Ireland -and favors s prompt solution of the Irish problem. The range of possibilities in the event of a labor minister being formed is wide, including the lifting of the economic blockade of soviet Russia and even recognition of the soviet republic. It was pointed out, however, that, except in Russia, power makes radicals more conservative and international relations would tend to restrain any British government from making extreme departures in the na tion,' s foreign policies, especially as commerce is considered the lifeblood circulating through the veins of the British empire. A labor ministry also would tend to draw Germany and England closer together, while introducing divergen cies from the Anglo-French entente. Jt is also considered likely that there would be important labor reactions in all European countries should a labor government be set up in England.
