national Figure
MILWAUKEE, Wis.. Oct. 1.
The future of marketing agricul
tural products lies i In tbe larger
development of cooperative pro
grams with the. prfnetpat purpose
of eliminating waste, Herbert
Hoover, secretary of. commerce,
declared in an address here to
sis&t at an American' dairy fed
eration banquet given in -connection
with the national dairy show.
The secretary , proposed a plan
for the creation of a federal mar
keting board to aid f ami produc
ers in such waste elimination.
This board; If created,' . he . said,
should be composed of several
nerabers, a majprity membership
from among cooperatives and a
minority from the ranks of term
inal market associations to be or
ganized under the plan. It would
have power, he added, to establish
standards in cooperation with pro
ducers and the department of ag
riculture and bring about cooper
ation with- the department in
amplifying inspection and certifi
cation to the end that all Inter
state goods could be shipped on
standards certified by the federal
authority it would ! give Informa
tion that would lessen ' chaos in
shipments, he said. !
"Present marketing of farm
products . fa ..wastefulJSecretaxy
Hoover said. "The whole prob
lem of : Improved marketing is
; elimination of waste. ,.
"The time has come when we
must take strong and definite
steps in the future, development of
cooperative marketing. The agri
cultural cooperative, when rightly
adapted to 'its work can obtain
certain advantages in distribu
tion." ' , ; . -
i The secretary sounded a warn
ing, however, against assuming
that cooperation is a complete so
lution to the problem of market
ing all agricultural products. He
also addressed against adopting
ft program based on European sys
tems. , : IK-...,',
. "The American system cannot
te successfully built on the ex
perience of Europe where market
ing is local In character,. the sec
retary said in concluding his re
marks. ' .

Lowden of Illinois spoke 'briefly.

- In response to insistent ques1
tloning as to why -- his memory

Root turned to the jury and frank

might hurt Pothier, and that it
was his intention to say. as . little
as possible. Root was the second

the Jurors following their .return

ternoon where they ; visited - the
scene of the shooting. ' -
Root's testimony first took-a
significant turn' during cross-examination
when 'Langhorne de
manded: - ' - -';
:Why is It that you can so dis
tinctly remember picking up two
exploded shells near the body of
Major Cronkhite and one or two
mere near where Pothier was
standing and yet you cannot re
member whether or not the gun of
Major Cronkhite contained any ex
ploded-shells. . M
"If I were you l would not asK
that question, "but if yotr really
want to know, I will tell you," re
plied the witness.
"Yes; go ahead. said Lang-
horne. , : '! - - ' - , ,
Gives His Reason '
Root ' then declared that as a
member of the intelligence section
of his regiment it was his dutj
to pick up the exploded shells.
when' Langhorne Interrupted him
and the two carried on a discus
sion over Root's exact title and
why he had not remembered the
condition of cartridges In the ma
jor's gun. Finally Root answered
the , question he had sidestepped
when put to him by the govern
ment and declared that to ! the
best of his recollection there were
no exploded shells In the Cronk
hite gun.
In reply to questions by Os
borne during direct examination
he said he had an Impression of
the condition of the gun but would
prefer not to answer, as he was
not sure. ..
When Langhorne finished with
the witness Osborne took him on
re-direct examination and demand
ed to know why he had warned
Langhorne against asking him the
question. - ,
Vi&ihlj agitated by the insistent
questioning of both attorneys Root
whirled in his chair and created
a sensation.
i "Well, IH explain it this way.
I want to get. out of this case as

Former French Premier De-
livers Eloquent Warning
of Another War
GENEVA j Oct. 1. (By Asso
ciated Press.) A warning that
wars based i on economic reasons
may menace the world In the fu
ture; was issued by Aristide Briand,
many times premier of France,
today when, with thatsame fire
of eloquence and emotion which
stirred : hia auditors at the Wash
ington naval conference he called
upon all . nations to approve the
protocol for pacific settlement of
International disputes and pledged
there and then France's adhesion
without reservations whatsoever.
I The amended protocol of arbi
tration and security decupled the
iUtejntion of the assembly of the
league I and a general . report by
Dr. Benes and M. Polltis, repre
senting the two commissions which
jointly framed the document, ac
companying It, furnished an ex
planation of the various' changes
made In the original protocol.
I I ; Many Make Speeches. .
Numerous speakers'. gave' their
views' at. the afternoon , session
which adjoumeduntll 9;30 In' the
evening but it Was M." Briand who
aroused the assembly with his
words' in behalf of France."
"Ing now settled political
questions'; the league of nations
must settle' completely the "diffl
cu 1 ti economic problems."' M
Briand declared, adding; "but
France5 wllf be' ever ready to' help
In their solution.
: M. Briand painted a picture of
France prostrated by a war which
had; been forced upon' her and a
land yearning' for eternal peace,
and! -attacked ""perfidious propa
gandists who - have- represented
France as a nation bristling with
bayonets' and endeavoring1 to dom
inate the world and realise an
abominable dram of supremacy."
France Is Willing. ,
I No country he said, more ar
dently desired, to get Tid of the
burden of armaments than France.
England, through Lord Parmoor,
president of the council, did not go
as far as France, 'merely announc
ing her acceptance of the resolu
tion; transmitting; the protocol tb
the jffovernments, but promising to
exert all the influence of the Brit
ish government and parliament to
ratify it. The -speaker Insisted
that( the protocol represented . no
attempt to make the, . council " or
the assembly of the league a super-state,
-with authority over the
various' governments.- Such an at
tempt would court inevitable fail
ure.' ' , .. . '
"Neither the council nor the as
sembly," he continued, ''will have
any j power - to Interfere In inter
national taf fairs beyond what is al
ready comprehended' in the coven
ant that is to say, until a stage
has j been reached which means
war or a threat of war at which
stage a new condition arises and
we enter into - the sphere on In
ternational - law." If the worst
happened, and an economic sanc
tion! against any; aggressor proved
Insufficient and - force of arms
