VOTE IN LEAGUE IS CHAMPIONED Australian Defends Countrys Right to One Vote Given by Treaty SYDNEY, Australia Australia's claim to the right to hava orte vote in the Council of tha League of Nations wai defended by Sir Joseph Cook, Minister of the Navy, who was a dele gate to the Peace Conference, in a recent speech here. Comemnting on the attitude of a section of the United States senate toward the League he said: "America is making objection to clause X in the League's charter. The objection is political from first to last I believe that when the presidential election is over all objection will end". On the question of Austrian repre sentation in the Council of the eague Sir Joseph said: "The Americans led by Senator Lodge say that the British Empire should have only one vote. Senator Lodge's party objects to the Empire having five or six times the voting power of the United States. It is not a fair statement. AU the other states in America have one vote." Sir Joseph enumerated under this head Bolivia, Braiil, Cuba, Ecuador Guatemala, Honduras, Liberia, Haiti. Nicaragua, Panama, Peru and Uru guay, and pointed out that the popu lation of these countries were largely Indian or negro. "The South Ameri can states", he continued, "have 12 votes. How do the British Dominions stand T New Zealand, Canada, Aus tralia, South Africa, India each has only one vote. "Australia's sacrifices in the war 60,000 dead were greater than America's, and ail died in an effort to make America safe, America was for three or four years out of the war wHBe Australia was helping to keep her free. "It has been said that there is no force by which to carry out the Treaty. There is the force in the background, and other things the penalty of ostracism and the boycott. No nation, unless it can conquer the world, can ignore these penalties." ANALYSIS MADE OF CREDIT SITUATION In extending credit, are in theory handling private means, but viewed collectively they are actually making use of one of the nation's greatest re sources, sine the sum total of bank credit constitutes the country's chief instrument of business. Tha banks and their total volume of loans must thus be thought of collectively if one is to have a true perspective of the es sential part they play in the nation's life, just as our coal mines and re serves must be considered as a whok'. in estimating the nation's natural re sources. The strain under which the credit resources of the country are now lab oring is evidenced by the high money rates in all classes of loans. An alysis of the fundamental factors in the situ ation clearly reveals that the chief cause of the strain is that the volume of credit has expanded until the gold basis is becoming inadequate in view of conditions affecting the liquidity of credit. LIGHT IS THROWN ON FAMOUS COURT MARTL&L DISPUTE WASHINGTON, D. C. A new light has been thrown on the Ansell Baker court martial controversy of last spring through words passed on the floor of the House the other day when Representative Kitchin of North Carolina brought to light the fact that former Colonel Ansell is now in the employ of one of the partisan investi gating committees of Congress and drawing a salary, or "fee" as they term it, of from 20,000 to $25,00(1 annually for his services. This information leaked out when Congressman Kitchin took occasion to ask Chairman Good, Republican of Iowa, of the House Appropriations Committee, why the investigating committees were asking an appropria tion of $77,000. Chairman Good caire forward to reply, but he was choked off by several of the Republican lead ers, including Uncle Joe Cannon, Rep resentative Nicholas Longworth and others who did not seem to relish ans wers to these inquiries. A running word duel ensued in which' Kitchin ultimately carried his point. Banker Explains Reason for the Existing Strain on Money Market - The chief cause of the present train on the credit situation in the United States is the fact "that the volume of credit has expanded until the gold basis is becoming inadequate is view of conditions affecting the liquidity of credit," is the opinion ex pressed by James S. Alexander, Presi dent of the National Bank of Com merce in New York, in a statement on "Public Policy and Bank Credit" printed in the March issue of Com merce Monthly, published by the Bank. The statement takes the stand that because of this situation consid erations of public interest should be the determining factor in extending loans by the banks and that public interest requires the conservation of credit so that the needs of essential enterprises, rather than non-essential activities, will be provided for. The tstmlt im mm tnllnmm' I Credit expansion in the United States has reached a point where it must be given earnest thought as a serious public problem. The banks and the business men of the country, therefore, have a definite public re sponsibility in making and using loans in view of the conditions and special exigencies that exist today.

Expert Give Hints on Taking Care of Trees There are two objects in spraying. One is to coat all parts of the tree or fruit so thoroughly that no fungus or insect can And any spot that is not protected by layer of poison. The other is to destroy the pests or para sites present by hitting them with the proper kind of poison at a stage when I they are defenseless against it ' Spraying is a preventive. It can : not cure damage already done. Spraying cannot be effective unless : adapted to the life-habits of the para : site and the condition of the tree and ' fruit Yet many growers apply sprays uselessly at times when little real j good can be done and then fail to i spray at the critical periods when they could get results. Other grow ers fail to do the work thoroughly enough to reach all insects, or to coat all susceptible parts of the tree. Still others use wrong materials. Success ' can be expected only from the thor ough application of the right sprays at the right time. General Hints Care of the Young Orchard. If free from disease and insect pests when planted, young orchards seldom require any regular schedule of sprays. Thorough inspection should be made, however, at frequent intervals All kinds of fruit should be watched for the invasion of San Jose scale or other scale insects, aphids, borers, bud weevils, fruit caterpillars and Armillaria root rot In apple or chards look also for mildew, anthrac nose, fire blight, and woollly aphis; in pears, for fire blight, slug, and blister mite; in' peaches, for leaf curl, mildew, blight, and twig miner; in ;.runea and plums, for leaf spot, spid er mite, bark beetles and borers; in cherries, for bacterial gummosis, leaf spot, slug, and shot-hole borer. When any of these troubles are found, fol low out the recommendation out lined for them in the regular spray schedule. Pruning Pruning should be ror.ducted in such a way as to let light and airetito the interior of the tree. This favors rapid evaHration of moisture from leaf and fruit, and thus tends materially to hinder fungous Infections. While pruning, inspect the trees for San Jose scale, woolly aphis, and other peats and diseases. Itemova all mum meid fruits from the orchard. Where bacterial gummosis or fire blight is present always sterilise pruning In struments and cuts with soma good disinfectant to prevent spreading the disease. AMERICAN COLLEGES LOAFING GROUNDS SAYS DR. GEO REBEC "American colleges are loafing grounds for the American youth. The university is a playground and stud ents are invited in to tevter-tutter and shoot the chutes."
