ON LEAGUE PROBLEM
President Seeks to Deter

ers in Congress
BORAH SAID IN ACCORD
Congressional Sanction Sought for
Part icipnt Ion io Prelimin
ary Arms Conference
at CJeiwva
WASHINGTON', Dec. 23. (Ily
Associated Press. ) President
Coolidge in working out a plan to
accept the league of nations in-
vitation to a preliminary discus
sion of an armament conference.,
has sought the views of congres
sional leaders as the best methods
of procedure.
He conferred today with Chair
man Borah of the senate foreign
relations committee and Senator
Moses, republican of New Hamp
shire, and Lenroot, republican of
Wisconsin ,as to whether, con
gressional sanction should . be
given in advance of participation
in the preliminary Geneva meet
ing at which an effort will be made
to draw up an agenda for the pro
jected world arms conference.
The request for such sanction
would take the form of a bill car
rying an appropriation fS defray
the expenses of American partici-
pation. Opinion at the capitol
as to the admissibility of this
course appears now to be divided,
but Senator Lenroot told the pres
ident that most senators favored
acceptance of the invitation. Sen
ator Borah and others of the irre
concilables in the league of na
tions fight hold that acceptance
should be conditioned upon a very
thorough understanding that the
proposed disarmament conference
would not consider European se
curity pacts and that the country
would not enter into any kind of
agreement in which the league of
nations would be called. upon ulti
mately to put into force.
The foreign relations chairman
declined to discuss, his visit to the
White House other than to say
that he and the president were
in accord.
Later it was stated at the White
House that he had expressed the
opinion of the president that sanc
tion of congress in an appropria
tion of funds for expenses would
be necessary and appropriate.
President Coolidge had another
conference with Secretary Kellogg
who said afterwards that he was
leaving immediately for St. Paul
to spend Christmas and that fur
ther action would be delayed un
til after the holidays.
If the president decides to ask
the sanction of congress, he could
not do so until after January 4,
as it how is in recess.
Many who have good health
fail to make the best use of it

Snrplus Crop Problem Taken I'p;
Government Agency Is
Sought, By Bloc
WASHINGTON'. Dec. 23. (By
Associated Press.) The congres
sional farm bloc will not be con
tent if the administration confines
Ha program for solving the farm
er's difficulty to the cooperative
marketing measures.
Leader: from the western farm
ing belt are preparing to wage a
fight for some direct means of
disposing of farm surplus through
an export corporation.
Their plan apparently goes
much farther than any either
President Coolidge .or Secretary
Jardine has been wiling to ap
prove. Both have expressed op
position to proposals involving
prfco fixing or the buying and
selling of surplus crops through
a government agency. That the
administration is considering the
surplus crop problem, however,
was disclosed last night With the
announcement by Mr. Jardine that
he intended to call a series of
conferences with leaders in agri
culture and economics to seek a
solution through cooperative or
ganization of farmers.
Before any move is made in
congress by the farm bloc, efforts?
will he made to get the support of
President Coolidge for their idea.
Senator Capper, republican of
Kansas, one of the rt-cosmizoil
eaders of the movement declared
today that they still hoped to get
President Coolidge "behind legis
lation" to create an export cor
poration. Several bills hare been preparod
to set up a government corpora
tion to. handle surplus crops and
the' McNary-Haugen bill, which
failed of passage at the last ses
sion has been reintroduced in the
senate and house.

panics today, said tonight that
congress is seeking every means
to help American rubber manu

and competition.
"There seems to be a combiifed
effort on the part of every foreign i
nation producing rubber to re
strict its outpur, thereby increas
ing the price of rubber products,"
he declared.
Information obtained by him
here," he said, would be used to
facilitate the investigation into
restriction of crude rubber prodac-.

In an address tonight, Mr.
Longworth described restrictions
imposed by foreign nations on
production and exports of rubber
as an international swindle.
The recent artificial and unfair
increases in rubber prices .are
handicapping a great industry and
robbing the public of millions of
dollars, he said.
"While there is a question as
to what power congress may have
in this matter," he continued, "it
is going to bring before the Amer
