The second point takes the form of
an amendment to the 'aggressor"
clause of the proto ol which proclaims
as an aggressor any state disregard
ing the judicial decree that the dispute

ly within thedomestice jurisdiction of
another state. ' ; . ,
The amendment adds thereto the
words "nevertheless a state shad

if it has not previously submitted the

Need of Better Realization
Of Control By Farmers
Is Stressed
Agricultural Class Buyere
At .AH Times, Says
,E. T. Meredith
CHICAGO, Sept. 80. CP) The
need of better realization on the part
of the business men of the fact that
agriculture is absolutely controlling
in nil business, was stressed by For
mer Secretary of Agriculture B. T.
Meredith in an address to members of
the American Banker's association
here today.
"The opportunity to go Into bank
ing ithe publishing to mnrket grocer
ies, to establish a drugstore, all
these," said Mr. Meredith, "in the
final analysis, have been given to us
because of agriculture. The conditions
In agriculture from year to year af
fect everyone of these institutions
most vitally. .
Income is Rogular.
"Tbe income from agriculture and
consequently Ha support of business
is regular, not bit and miss or spot
ted throughout the year, and not lar
gely all in one season of the year, as
many business men seem to believe.
When one single course of farm In
come takes a slump, the calamity
howlers make so much of it that some
are led to over estimate its effect
upon general business, as waa tho
case with wheat. One would think
that the farmer received his entire
Income from wheat and yet 1022 pro
duction figures show that the farmers
received less for their wheat that
they did for corn, hay, cotton or vege
tables as well as from several sour
ces of animal production Income.
Farmer la Buyer.
"Another important feature that
business men should consider Is the
farmer as a buyer under any" and all
conditions. There are 6,500,000 farms
in the United States, each in reality
a small factory. Altogether they are
gfing to spend ten, twelve or four
teen billion dollars a year just to keep
going, no matter whether they make
money or not, no matter whether they
have a surplus or not, throughout the
year they need large quantities of
foodstuffs, breakfast foods, flour, soap
and canned fruita and supplies of all
kinds. There are 11,000,000 men, a
many women and 20,000,000 children
on these farms and they all buy or
have things bought for them.
Loan It Approved.
Formal approval of the proposal to
float half of the forthcoming 200,
000,000 loan to the German govern
ment In the United Stntes was con
tained in committee reports euhmit
tcd to the executive council of the as
sociation. , Recommendations that American
bankera have nothing to do with the
financing of Russia as long as the
present Soviet government remains in
power, were contained in Uio report.
Mcosund in dollars, a committee re
port stated, the most of crime to
banking ind Industry last year exceed

More than six thousands bankers,
