Nicholson Is
"Amazed at Al
For Wet Stand
NEW fORK. Aug. 24. (APJ-
Dr. E. S. Nicholson, chairman of
the New York state anti-saloon
league campaign committee, to
night described Governor Smith's
proposal to permit state control of
the sale of liquor as "an amai
ing proposition."
"The governor's argument in
effect," Dr. Nicholson said, "is
that the constitution can be so
amended that it operates In the
states which choose to approve it.
but will not operate in states
which adopt some system of state
control. That Is the meaning of
his plan. If it means anything. It
is an amazing proposition."
Prominent German Prevent
ed By IH Health From
Going to Geneva
BERLIN, Aug. 24. (AP)
Under orders of physicians Gustav
Stressemann, German foreign
minister, today abandoned his in
tention to participate in the forth
coming meeting of the council of
the League - of Nations. He will
limit his immediate official under
takings to a brief visit to Paris
on August 27 where he will sign
the Kellogg war renunciation
treaty.
The statesman was examined
thoroughly, by four specialists.
They told him there was urgent
need that he take a further rest
from his work. They agreed that
he could go to Paris but only on
condition that he be mindful of the
state of his health and not unduly
exert himself while there.
It is understood that Herr
Stressemann will return to Ber
lin Immediately after the Kellogg
treaty formalities. Then he is to
proceed to some convenient spa
and resume his effort to regain
normal physical condition.
The upset in his official pro
gram confronts Chancellor Muel
ler and the cabinet with the nec
essity of reorganizing the German
delegation to Geneva. The foreign
minister had intended to raise
there the entire range of the
llhineland occupation problems.
Now it Is assumed that he will
only have some preliminary con
versations at Paris with Premier
Poincare and Aristide Briand, the
French foreign minister, so as to
lay a foundation for a comprehen
sive discussion at Geneva.
Dunlap Advises J ,
Farmer to Hold
Wheat Harvest
WASHINGTON, Aug., 24.
(AP). Acting Secretary ot Agri
culture Dunlap . declared today
that "it Is reasonable to believe"
that the trend of wheat prices
may follow the same course as
during the 1923-24 season when
the world harvested the largest
crop of wheat on record, and
prices reached their low point in
August and ended the year con
siderably above the August, level.
''"No' advantage to the grower
results when prices are readjust
ed upward if the wheat has left
the farm." he declared in a state
ment, explaining that "it Is well
known that hearj marketings at
the beginning of a season tend to
depress prices too much." .
Mr. Dunlap advised farmers to
hold back their crops, saying that
"farmers who sell their crops im
mediately after harvest without
regard to the state of the market,
may have cause to regret it later."
