SPECIAL SUBSIDY
Washington, d. c. opposition tr
artificial stimulation of co-operative
marketing associations by government
aid was. voiced in resolutions adopted
by National Council of Farmers' Co
operative Marketing associations.
The council went on record ns op
posing any special favoritism or sub
sidy, and declared it had nothing to
ask from the government "except a
sympathetic, understanding adtninis
tration of the laws and regulations al
ready In force for supervision of co
operative organizations."
Deep appreciation was expressed of
the "sympathetic and intelligent sup
port of President Coolidge, Secretarie: j
(or. and Hoover and of friends In
congress and the thirty-five state leg
Islatures that have enacted the stand
ard co-operative marketing law."
Jonathan M. Davis, governor of
Kansas, who retired Monday under a
cloud, his son having been accused of
selling paroles.
AINST
j ELEVATION QF GUNS
Washington, D. C. President Cool
j'idge is opposed to the proposal to
elevate the guns on 13 American
battleships, Secretary of the Navy Wil
bur informed the house naval affairs
committee.
Wilbur said the proposed alteration,
costing $6,500,000, would restore the
navy to the 5-5-3 rptio of the Washing
ton arms treaty. He informed the
committee, however, - that the presi
dent, after due deliberation, had de
cided the expenditure was in "conflict
with hi3 financial program."
Great Britain is the only world pow
er that has made an official protest
against the elevation of guns, it was
revealed by the state department in
response to congressional demands for
Information on the subject. The pro
test was made In 1923, when the sub
ject was first brought forward.
Japan did not consider that gun ele
vation was a violation of the treaty,
the letter said.
President Coolidge's position against
elevation of the big guns of the Amer
ican battleships was supported by
Chairman Borah of the senate foreign 1
relations committee, who said in a
statement it was better to waive ad
vantage technically given by the arms
treaty than to give justification for;
violation of the treaty by others.
