Coolidge Will Not Ask Semate To Change Views On World Court
PRESIDENT DOES
NOT EXPECT €l5, 70
SENATE WILL BE RELIED UPON
TO HOLD POSITION FORMER
LY TAKEN.
KANSAS CITY, November 11—
(/P)—lgnoring tme cold and biting
wind, President Coolidge stood on
a platform bareheaded, overcoat dis
carded and coat &nbuttoned. and
began his dedication address before
about fifty thousand persons, short
ly before noon at the unveiling, of
the Unknown - Soldier’'s memorial
hore. Thunderous applause greeted
the executive. A !
President Coolidge served formal
notice here foday that the United
States would adbere to the World
Court only on the conditions laid
down by the senate.
The position of the Chief Execu
tive, who from the first of his ad
ministration had urged American
"membership in the Court, was made
clear in an Agmistice Day speech in
which he discussed world problems
‘and called formally for the first
ftime for consediption of capital as
}well as man power in time of war.
1 The address was in dedication of
}thé Liberty Memorial, ecrected by
lthe people of this city in memory
of its citizens who served in the
lEWorld War. ~Deliever at the hour
Ewhen e.:gght years ago the Armistice
went into effect, it was devoted to
j a discussion of problems. arising out
~of the war with a restating of the
;.position of the Wasbingtdn govern
“ment on many questions of world in
lterest while mention was made of
national antagonisms a.gain/st » this
'i_country.
| “A Permanent Court of Interna
i’tional Justice has been established,”
' the pregident s2id in setting forth
;his position on the world court, “to
; which nations may voluntarily resort
for an adjudication of their differ
ences. t has been subject to much
misrepresentation, which has result
ed in much miscohception of its
‘princir,lcs and objects among our
people. T have advocated adherence
“to such a eourt by this nation on
condition that the statute or treaty
‘crcatin'g' it be am'endcd to meet our
views. The senate has adopted a
resolution for that purpose. ;
“While the naticn involved can
not yet be said to have made a
final determ'nation, and from most
of them no answer has been rececived
many of them have indicated that
they are unwilling to concur in the
conditions adopted by the resolution
of the senate. While no final decisicn
can be made by our government un
til final answers are received the
situation has been sufficiently de
veloped so that T feel warranted in
saying that T do not intend to ask
the senate to moadify its position, I
do not believe the senate would take
favorable action on any such propos
and unless the requirements of the
senate resolution are met by the oth
‘er nations T can sce no prospect of
this eountry adhering to the court.”
Tn speaking of conscription, Mr.
Coolidge said that it ‘“is more and
more becoming the conviction of stu
dents of adequate defense that in
time of national peril the Govern
ment should be clothed with authori
ty to call into its service all of its
men power and all of its property
under such terms and conditions
that it may completely avoid making
a sacrifice of one and a profiteer

REASONS WHY WE SHOULD
GROW MORE OATS
; By J. K. LUCK,
County Agent.
I called your attention last month
to the value of planting oats early
in order to make the largest vield
possible per acre. Some have plant
ed a few oats but not near enough
has been planted to relieve our feed
shortage, which occurg every vear.
The following reasons will show
you why we should plant more oats:
First ~— Since January first 1926
there has heen shipped into Cordele
700 tons of hay. 18,600 hushels of feed
oats and 700 tons of Sweet Feed. ‘
Second-—This amount of feed that ;
was shipped into Cordele required |
1.000 bhales of 10 cent cotton to ]ul,»"1
a feed bill that we should not hnw-‘
had to pay. This is one-twelfth m“
our total county crop of cotton,
Third—We can grow as much huy‘
per acre here ag any place else in‘
the United States. Last vear we had
several farmers to produce 3 tons
of hay per acre. Oats and Austrian
winter peas will make more hay per
acrg than anything we ean grow and
the best hay we can grow,
Fourth—We had several farmers to
meke from 30 to 60 bushels of oats
per acre last year, From the uh:m-'
figures yon will note that we cortain-
Iy need !') grow more hay and uz:tx'
and you will also note that {hose |
farmers that teied to grow their uwn‘
feed succeeded,
It you produce cheap cotton, }'«')u:
have got to raise your own fw-llf
tirst. It is late, but not too late; if |
we acts at once, ’
