A'ASHINOTOX, Sept. 17. (A. I)
The American government has
thrown up the bars against Shnpurji
Saklatvalu, communist member of the
British hoiist' of commons, who sought
to vhdt tha I'nlted States as n Hiil
ish delegate to the inler-parltamen-tnry
union to convene 'here next
month.
because of Saklntvalo's Inflnnmtnry
nnd revolutionary speeches in par
liament and elsewhere. Secretary Kel
logg has ordered revoked, under the
immigration Jaw th passport visa
which already had been granted him
at London. m
"I do not believe in curbing
free speech, nor do I believe In
making this country the stamp- .
inn ground for every revolution
ary agitator of other countries.
Secretary Kellogi; declared In an
nouncing the decision to imr him
from American shores.
The administration's decison which
is in flat conflict with the expressed
view of Chairman Borah of the sen
nte foregn relations committee, was
announced fmmediately after the sec
retary had conferred at the White
House late yesterday with President
Coolidge and Representative liurton
or Ohio, a member of the arrange
ments committee for the inter-par-llamentary
meeting.
The secretary's announcement
quoted from recent remarks of Sak
latvulii in parliament nnd- elsewhere
from which 't was concluded that his
reason for coming to this country was
to advance communism. - ,
Senator Roruh . who had made
known his views on the matter to Sec
retary Kellogg before the decision was
announced declared before he knew
that SaUlatvnla's passport visa had
been ordered revoked that he consid
ered such a course unnecessary and
unwise. He believed it would Imply
n greater restriction on free speech in
the United States than in Great Brit
ain. None of Raklatvnla's revolutionary
utterances In his" own country, the
senator said, hud yet brought action.
"If he comes hero and does violate
the law. put him in Jail," Senator Ho
rn h said.

LONDON. Sept. 17. Shapurji Sak
latvala, communist member of par
liament, barred . from the Fnlted
States as a member of the ltrltish del
egation to the inler-parllamentary
conference In Washington blames Sec
retary of State Kellogg for his trou
bles. Formally notified this morning that
fils pasport visa had been revoked, the
communist M. P. said that Mr. Kel
logg had become "imbued with petti
coated arlstocrutlc Ideas of Great
Rrltain to such an extent that he still
clings to them."
Mr. Saklatvaln expressed the opin
ion that the secretary of state by his
cancellation of the visa had violated
constitutional practices as well as the
laws regulating the working of the inter-parliamentary
conferences, and
hnd "disregarded the ordinary laws of
political decency."
"The Americnns," he. added, "agreed
to net as my host, nnd yet jit the last
moment I am refused admission to
the country. Cnn it be that the
Americnns are nfrnid of the truth?
"I hnd no Intention of cnrrylng on
any propaganda In the United States
nnd intended to respect the laws nnd
the constitution. If the American
government desires to be fair and
just it should have nllowed me to en
ter the countr yand then referred the
question of my pnrtleipation in the
conference to the official council of
the inter-parliamentary union. If the
council should have, decided against
my participation that would be a dif
ferent mntter.'

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. (By the

controversy probably will he a chief
witness before the navy court which is
to inquire into the wrecking of the

It will be the purpose to ask him to
substantiate his published charge that
the accident to the Shenendoah was a
(direct suit of "the incompetency.
criminal negligence and almost trea
sonable administration of the national
defense by the navy and war depart
ments." An investigation looking to n possi
ble court martial o.f the former assist

now being conducted by the war de

SECY. JARBINE TO
DECIDE POLICY
OF
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. (A. P.)
Whether the ml ministration will
submit any new farm relief proposals
at the coming session of congress,
or merely will stand on its recom
mendations of the past, has become
a much debated question. It gen
erally is agrei'd that the co-operative
marketing legislation, advocated
unsuccessfully last winter by tho
president's agricultural conference,
will again be endorsed by the White
House and majority leaders in con
gress, ltut the outlook for n farm
legislative program of a more gene
ra I character Is dubious. .
Early last month It wns announc
ed nt the summer White 1 louse nt
Swnmpscott that President Coolidge
would reassemble the agricultural
conference to draft such a general
farm program. Secretary Jardlne,
however, does not favor that course
nnd in addition the president has
heard advice of varying character
from many outsido sources.
As a result, It Is the belief of
some high officials that If the agri
cultural conference meets nt nil
this fail, It merely will be to draw
up a final report on the investiga
tions already made and reinforce the
recommendations already submitted.
, It is the belief of Secretary Jar
dlne that the period of agricultural
emergency is passing. Ho favors
legislation to foster co-operative mar
keting, but aside from that ho feels
that agriculture can work out Its
own problems and will be the better
off for it.
That President Coolidge himself
has grown more doubtful over tho
wisdom of Reassembling his confer
ence of experts wns indicated when
Just before ha left Swnmpscott, White
House officials said a final decision
on the point would be reached only
after consulting Mr. Jardlne. Now
tho president nppears to have left
the matter almost entirely up to the
agriculture secretary and Robert E.
Carey of Wyoming, chairman of tho
conference.
No preparations nro being made nt
tho ngrlculturo department for n
meeting of the conference or which
Mr. Jardlne himself is a member.
Instead, tho secretary Is preparing to
personally discuss the problem with
representatives of various farm or
ganizations whom, ho plans to call
to Wnshington some time this full.
President Coolidge plans to ad
dress the convention of the Amerlcnn
Farm Rureuu federation to ho held
in Chicago, December 7 to 9. He
Informed O. E. Rrndefute, president
of the federntlon today in n reply to
an Invitation that ho expected to ac

tion, giving the president opportunity
to explain In detail his views on the
farming situation.
