The Semite, yesterday after
noon, eoni'irined the naval
treaty., neatly constructed ly
Lireat Britain and Japan to limit
the fighting power of our ships.
The chief and ablest officer
in our navy wanted eight-inch
guns throwing 2(i0-pound shells.
We net, by order and permis
sion of Japan and Britain, six
inch guns, throwing 105-pound
shells.
Senator McKcllur of Tennes
see says we shall "spend a bil
lion and be weaker at sea than
we are." Congratulations are
in order for Britain and Japuii.
Marconi, Italian electrical ge
nius, and bis wife have a little
irl, just born. The mother
certainly is disappointed, the
father probably. .Mothers want
boys, to please fathers; fathers
want boys to gratify their own
vnnity.
Fortunately, Nature inter
feres. According to laws of herid
ity, daughters inherit and hand
on, to their children, the genius
of their fathers.
A sou inherits the father's
genius rarely. You can count
the really great sons of great
fathers on the fingers of two
hands. Marconi has three
daughters, two by his first wife,
no sons.

WASHINGTON. July 12. (l' j
President Hoover said ioduy the,

will sign today, is a great ac-
complishment. llu chief executive!
said it was a matter of satisfac-l
tlon that it had been carried J
through step by step with the co-
operation of both political parties.
The president said:
"I shall have the gratification
of signing the naval treaty this
afternoon at !1 o'clock. It is a
matter of satisfaction that this
great accomplishment in interna
tional' relations has at all steps,
been given united support of both
our political parties.
"With the ratification by the
other governments the treaty will
translate an emotion deep in the
hearts of millions of men and wo
men into a practical fact of gov
ernment and international rela
tions. "It will renew again the faith
of the world in the moral forces
oC goodwill and patient negotia
tion as against the blind forces of
suspicion and competitive arma
ment. -It will secure the full de
fense of the United States. It
will mark . a further long step
toward lifting the burden of mili
tarism from the backs of mankind
ami to speed the march forward
of world peace:
"It will lay the foundation upon
which further constructive reduc
tion in world arms may lie accom
plished in the future.
"We should by this net of wil
lingness to join with others in
limiting armament, have dismiss
ed from the mind of the world
any notion that the United States
entertains ideas nf aggression. Im
perial power or exploitation of
foreign nations."

Mooney and Billings, serving

AN
'Political Bunk' No Remedy
for Present Unfavorable
Economic Condition. Says
Chairman Legge Not
Hiding Behind Hoover.
WASHINGTON, July 22.
Chairman Legi;e of the farm board I
says opposition to the board's j
wheat policy Is "political bunk" of:
"the same kind" that put the farm
er In bis present unfavorable eco-;
nomic position.
In a statement published today,
he m;i id he was fighting In the open
and not hiding behind President
Hoover. He added be would make
a report to the chief executiveoon
on the progress of the board's cam
paign for a reduced wheat acre
age. "The farm hoard." he said, "was
created to assist the farmer and
not for politics. The farmer's prob
lem is an economic one that will
never be solved by any political
remedies.
"The president has not Interfered
with our program and we have
gone ahead sawing wood. I ex
pect to report to him soon on tho
acreage rcduetlnu campaign, but 1
am not hiding behind his skirts."
F.xpeetH Cooperation.
Legge went on to say he was
prepared to tell Mr. Hoover he ex
pected cooperation in tho acreage
reduction program from the farm
ers of every state In tho winter
wheat belt. He described the pur
pose of the campaign as to show
the farmer he must reduce produc
tion or accept a lower price for
his wheat.
After terming the opposition to
the board's policies "political
bunk." Legge said:
"Present and future operations
written by the Democratic national
- committee-nmt fathered by vari
ous orators to broadcast the a I
teged failure of tho farm bourd are
only more of the same kind cf
political bunk by virtue of which
the farmer has arrived at his pres
ent position."
Ho Bald the opposition of Gov
ernor Reed of Kansas wan "wholly
political" and applied the same de
scription to criticism of the board
for not buying and storing large
amounts of the 1H30 wheat crop.
