"The outlet for hops is al most entirely with brewers. You have the unusual and fortunate situation of having your largest consumers anxious for you to or ganise." E. E. Henry, president of the federal Intermediate credit cor poration, said his organization would not give serious considera tion next year to hop financing unless a plan of stabilization is determined upon and put into ef fect. "The surplus of hops on the market makes such a program un sound," he said. "It would be un fair for our stockholders in other agricultural lines to take on the risk which financing next year's hop crop involves" William S. Walton of the Ladd and Bush bank told the hop grow ers that the day of recurring defi cits for the hop grower with an occasional good year wiping oat large Indebtedness, was gone. "Federal income, taxes are going to take an increasing portion of the return for good years," he said. Financial support cannot be secured for bad years. The banker will be reluctant to make the loan; the borrower will be hesi tant to ask for the credit. A stable, fair price is much to be preferred to the present up-and-down mar ket."

Both Great Britain and France refused to support the peace plan at Geneva, virtually insuring it would be killed by the league of nations council. Ethio pia assailed the proposals. Italy was not present. The council took no Immediate action. 3. Mussolini's grand fascist council discussed the peace terms for three hours, adjourned with out announcing any decision, and decided to meet agaie Saturday. Previously, II Duce and Queen Elena ot Italy had proclaimed the 31st day of sanctions as one of "victory" and "faith" amid a na tionwide offering of wedding rings for the "cause.
