" AGREEABLE TO ALL
M. Joffee Thinks Founda
tion Has Been Made for
Permanent Peace
IllfiA,
Oct. 12. The armistice
actually becomes effective, at mid
night October 18. V
The announcement that psace
was to be signed brought great
crowds to the square surrounding
the blackhead house. M. Joffe
and the bolshevik delegation an
tered the ball firsthand were fol
lowed my M. Dombski I and the
Polish delegation. About 200
persons. Including the ?jitire dip
lomatic body crowded the small
room.
Considerable delay ensued, due
to the physical work necessary
for the octnpletion of th3 treaty!
for signature. Tired by more
than fiv days and nights of al
' mo.it constant work, M. -Joffe
looked extremely pale, but his
voice showed no nervousness, and
began reading the Russian text.
Peace Without Victory
The head of the soviet delega
tion described the Riga peace as
fa peace without victory ctul withr
out yanquished." in . a brief ad
dress before the sighing. That
describes the Riga agreement ac
curately as it appeared to disin
terested onlookers. It wa a peace
of give and take, which;, those
who have followed ths course of
events fear 'will not be very pop
ular either with the, bolaheviki
- or the Poles. .
tlwlrmcn To Re Praised
But It is undoubtedly a . tri
tinish for the two chairmen who
made it and the spirit of concilia
tion with which they handled the
explosive questions that disrupted
the Minsk conference is likely to
win for them the gratitude of a
war-exhausted world.
' Tn Riga armistice will put the
holshiviki at peace with all their
Baltic neighbors within 144 hours
from midnight tonigh and leave
tha YVrangel movement as the on
ly great military operation
of the soviet.
Joffe Is Pleased
"" M. Joffe expressed the belief
that the foundation has been laid
for a permanent peace as both
nations are absolutely tired of
war and unwilling to assume the
responsibility for continuing the
strife.
Both Adolph Joffe, head of the
Russian soviet peac? mission and
X. Dombski express satisfaction
with the terms agreed upon. Th'2
bolaheviki Insist the preliminary
treaty is much less favorable
than the peace offered- Poland
last February and the failure of
to Poles to have a? financial set
tlement included in the prelim
inary convention 'has been gener
ally regarded as a soviet triumph.
M. Joffe has had much evperience
v at peace conferences, and the
complete agreement reached by
the members of the soviet dele
tions gave the bolshevik chair
man an advantage from ths first.

to appeal directly to President

mers generally faced heavy losses
unle3 the downward trend of
prices . of. . farm products was

special meeting of agricultural in

Cotton association.
Senators Overman of North

whoi are connected with the move
ment, called at tne White House
to prefer a request for the con
ference with Mr. Wilson and his
cabinet and were told by Secre
tary Tumulty that they would re
ceive aii answer from the presi
dent tomorrow.
Prompt Action Needed.
The senators laid stress on the
necessity for prompt action at the
regular fall conference of the fed
eral reserve board and governors
of the various reserve banks. The
question of interest rates, it is
said, would be considered at that
conference and the agricultural
representatives here declared they
wished to present their views on
the whole question of crop fin
ancing before action was taken
by the federal authorities.
Farmer Doomed to Iose.
Before adoption of the resolu
tion proposing to take the prob-
f lem to the president, speakers re
peatedly denounced the deflating
policy of Secretary Houston. Far
mers stood lo lose billions unless
the government acted to check
the fall of prices, they declared,
adding that in many cases mar
ket prices were now below the
actual cost of growing. The re
sult would be greatly reduced pro
duction next year, they said, if
means to remedy the situation
was not found.
A charge by former Senator
Marion Butler of North Carolina,
that there was a "conspiracy" of
officials to force down the price
of agricultural products, brought
a protest from John G. McSwain
of South Carolina. .
Conspiracy Not Likely.
I cannot bejieve one of them
capable of conspiring to rob his
fellow man," said Mr. McSwain.
"I believe, however, they made
an error of judgment. Lets reason
with them and see how they have
made the mistake."
J. iT. Brown, agricultural com
missioner of Georgia and Senator
E. D. Smith of South Carolina,
also protested against a state
ment by Mr. Butler . that the
country was about to face a panic
as a result of the deflation policy.
A general committee composed
of representatives of each agri
cultural organization attending
was to draw up a statement to
the public presenting the plight
of the growers in a declaration of
principles tol be adopted by the
convention, i
Senator Smith suggested that
the farmers find out their legal
rights under the federal reserve
system and demand them.
No Legal Prices.
"If 40-cent cotton -Is profiteer
ing. It S3 wneat is speculating,
who says it Is?" he demanded.
"Who in America, gives anyone
the legal right to fix the price of
anything?" x
The senator said he did not
see any authority in the federal
reserve act for contraction
of,
credits.
"I dQrTt believe the law gives
any administrative officer the (
right to say what kind of business j
shall have credit and what shall j
rot." he asserted. i
Declaring that the New York
regional bank had made 200 per
cent profit when the law allowed
it only fi per cent. Senator Smith

Just let, thin situation continue,
said the senator, and "let the

we will not loosen up one pound

LAFAYETTE. Ind.. Oct. 12.
Governor Cox of Ohio In a busy
tour today or Illinois and In
diana hammered heavily upon
the league of nations pronounce
ments of himseir and Senator
Harding, picturing his Republi
can opponent as wiggling and
wobbling." The Democratic can
didate emphasized to 16 audienc
es that he waj for the league with
whole heart and son!.
Centering his assault upon
Senator Harding's league state
ment. Governor Cox dela-ed it
"vacillating." The eleventh po
sition assumed by Senator Hard
ing and at the heels of a "tem
pest" aroused by Mr. Harding's
Des Moines speech. That the
senator's proposal for a new as
sociation of nations was held by
tormer President Taft to be Im
practical also was stressed.
Senator Harding's lead iositlon
Governor Cox added, "la the most
ignobla spectacle in the history of
all American campaigns."
Rejection or the league, the
governor continued, would mean
"atrophy of the sonl."
"America would die." he eatd.
"certainly as a moral influence
in tha world. I am In favor of
an America which holds the
creed of Christ, rather than the
creed of Cain."
Amplifying his charges of a
newspaper "conspiracy? of si
lence regarding' the Democratic
cause. Governor Cox asserted
that no Republican papers were
printing the league covenant and
reiterated that purchase and con
solidation of western Democratic
and Independent newspapers be
gan about 18 months ago when.
he said, the "senatorial conspira
cy against the treaty was con
ceived." The governor added:
"In my Judgment Will II. Hays.

lican committee, handling th?
millions of dollars at his dispo
al, had much to do with the pur
chase of these newspapers."
In his fire upon Senator. Hard
ing's league statements. Governor
Cox declared that his own had
ben and would continue to be
unchanged.
I ask you." he said, "whether
you would have followed the vac
illating position of the -candidate
of the senatorial oligarchy. He
made charges on the front oorch.
then when W3 took him off the
front porch and he arrived in Des
Moines he said he was going to
turn his hack upon the league
ith or without reservations.
There came a temp?st all over the
land and Republicans that were
for the league announced their
position and their intention of
voting forme. When he reached
the frrmt porch again yesterday,
he changed his mind and said he
was for a new association of na
tions. President Taft. ho is at
tempting to keep him steady,
says that the n?w association of
nations is not practical, that it
won't work: that It can't be at
tained: 41 nations of the world
have already Joined the league. It
is a going concern and: they will
not abandon it at the mere wish
and caprice of a group of sena.
