Hamilton. Bermuda, Jan. 21.—
(A. P.l Former President William
H Taft, who Is spending a month
here, said in an Interview today that
"the enormous burden of debt of
every country makes It almost Indis­
pensable that the necessity for arma­
ment be removed You can only do
that by joint action and Joint agree-
•nta and by promises of settling all
differences without fighting."
"They are already discussing ser­
iously In the United States an agree­
ment for disarmament or the lim­
iting of armament and strangely
enough this comes In part at least,
from men who have been vigorously
opposed to any league at all." he
continued
"I am very hopeful that under Mr.
Harding we shall reach a conclusion
with other leading nations tor an as­
sociation or league which shall mark
the advance brought about by the
war toward reasonable machinery for
the uvoldan< q of future conflict».
This will involve the sitting «round
the council table of all important
tlons and will imply the lakh- of
Joint measures to compost d'ffer-
encea and to restrain a resort t > •’
ansatlsfactory and bloody arbitra­
ment of war.

tioned as to the attitude of the Unit­

foremost in the meeting of farmers,
growers and warehousemen held
here recently.
It la claimed that if tobacco does
not bring a satisfactory price these
farmers will lose their lands, and
many financial Institutions will be
hampered.
Buyer* of tobacco are silent as to
why prices are not higher. Farmers
claim that in view of the fact that
prices rose gradually over a period
of four years from 1915 to 1919. they
should drop gradually. They assert

Kentucky produces one-fifth of the
tobacco of the world and almost one-
third of the crop of the United
States, according to the year book of
the United States department of ag­
riculture. The world production in
1915, the last year for which statis­
tics are available, was 2.153.395.OOO
pounds The United States in 1919
produced
1,403,325.000
pounds,
while Kentucky produced a total of
49S.000.000-pounds of all types. The
estimate for the total 1920 crop In
the United States, Just made public
by the department of agriculture. Is
1,508.034.000 pounds and Kentucky
437,500,000 pounds. Farmers In the
