Irish delegation.
The most palpitating week in the
history of the league closed with the
general rejoicing that the Greco-Ital
ian crisis offers good prospects for
settlement because of activities of the
council of the league but with the i
conviction among the delegates that
the question of the league’s compe¬

must be settled once and for all time.
The issue at stake is regarded as be¬
ing entirely clear. The Italian mem¬

of the fact that the league covenant ;
obliged her to submit the dispute to i
the league for settlement. Delegates •
lenged point out threatens that this the defiance prestige unclial* of tlu- j

I The News has just received infor
! mation of the closing of negotiations
by which the C. C. Justice Company,!
■ of Philadelphia, and E. C. McLean, of
Palmetto, Florida, and Beaufort, S.
C., have leased for three years from
tlie St. Simon Island Investment
Compan.v all of the farm land which
is part of their property on St. Simon
Island known as “Palm Harbor,”
, fronting ....... Frederica - ----------- river, a - connecting ------------- . I
i link of the inland yacht route to Flor- !
i ida.
This transaction undoubtedly is of
greater import to the upbuilding of

Glynn r.l™„ county ™„nt« land for for v»i raising s I«o- wk truck
will be proven by large-scale opera-)
tions in the hands of experts and that
facilities probably will be provided
by which the smaller growers can get
the benefit of shipping their products
in solid carloads, the lufk of which
facilities in the past having been one
of the greatest obstacles for the small
truck-grower.
The C. C. Justice Company is one
of the largest and most responsible
produce commission concerns in the
East, with numerous connections
throughout the North and West. Mr.
McLean is one of the partners in this
finm, and operates a large truck farm
and packing house at Palmetto, Fla.,
and another at Beaufort, S. C., in that
famous tracking section.,. The News
learns, upon investigation, that both
the Justice Company and Mr. McLean
are highly rated both as to financial
responsibility and expert experience
in the growing and marketing of
truck crops.

tention to the unusually fertile and
well-improved farm land owned by
the St. Simon Island Investment Com¬
pany, and had been in negotiations
with them for some time, the lease
was not closed until recently, and the
news regarding it has just now been
made public. The deal was handled
by W. R. Tucker, agricultural and
immigration agent of the Atlanta,
Birmingham & Atlantic railway, who
is interested in the St. Simon Island
Investment Company, apd has long
been convinced of the vast possibili¬
ties of Glynn county for truck grow¬
ing. ,
Clarence H. Morris, from Mr. Mc¬
Lean’s plant at Palmetto, Fla., who
is an experienced truck grower and
packer, is in charge of the operations
at Palm Harbor, for the Justice Com¬
pany and Mr. McLean, and has been
on St. Simon Island for about six I
weeks, rushing the pi-eparation of
land for full crops. He already has
lettuce and bell peppers well up in
the seed-beds for fall planting, and
it is understood that sufficient acreage
of these will be planted to produce
quite a number of carloads of each.
However, it is said that the specialty,
to which the soil is best adapted is
tomatoes, and that the acreage, to¬
taling- about two hundred and fifty,
will largely be planted in this vegeta¬
ble next spring, with the probability
that a -minimum of one hundred and
twenty-five carloads of tomatoes will
be produced. This means a freight
movement of considerable volume for
the railroads, as well as to the trans¬
portation facilities between St. Simon
Island and Brunswick.
It is stated that the lessees will
spend thousands of dollars in mak¬
ing improvements on the property
leased by them, mainly in sinking ar¬
tesian wells of large capacity and ir¬
rigating the fields through pipes,
as the numei-ous dwellings and other
buildings existing, such as are cover- ]
ed by the lease, will provide for most I
of the needs of the business. The sev- ]
eral white families who have farmed
as tenants of the St. Simon Island j j
Investment Company during the past
thi-ee years will remain upon the j
place as employees of the Justice]
Company and Mr. McLean. transaction j I
The significance of this
is in the fact that the Justice Com¬
pany and Mr. McLean have ample
capital and long experience in grow
ing truck crops and widespread fa- j
cilities for marketing to the best ad¬
vantage, and it is understood they

PROPOSALS CONTAINED
IN AMBASSADOR’S NOTE
Penalties to be Imposed are
Practically Same as Premier
Mussolini Demanded Except
the Saluting of Three Flags.
A feeling of relief and opti¬
mism prevailed last night in
official and diplomatic circles at
Paris both of which look with
satisfaction upon the action of
the Interallied Council of Am¬
bassadors in the Greco-Italian
crisis.
After notifying Greece of the
terms of settlement which had
been agreed upon at yesterday’s
session, the Council met this aft¬
ernoon to draw up instructions
which will be given to the inquiry
commission, appointed by it, in
an investigation into the assassi¬
nation of the Italians which
caused the controversy.
It will be seen that all the
council’s machinery will be ready
for prompt action as soon as hte
reply is received from Greece.
All the danger is taken out of the
crisis officials here believe though
it is everywhere recognized that
considerable negotiations are nec¬
essary before the matter is finally
settled.
The general impression prevails
in the French capital that the
Council of Ambassadors saved
League of Nations in a most em¬
barrassing situation and pre¬
vented it from running into a
pitfall.

To View It as Settled
Geneva, Sept. 8.—If Italy accepts
the proposals framed by the Inter¬
allied Council of Ambassadors, Greece
will view the dispute with Italy as
settled, Signo Politis, Greek spokes¬
man at the League of Nations said
this morning. The acceptance, how¬
ever, is contingent upon tenms pi-o
viding for the evacuation of Corfu
and other Greek islands occupied by
the Italians.
The amount of indemnity Greece
must pay will be left to the Interna¬
tional Court of Justice but Greece is
required to deposit immediately 50,
000 lire in a Swiss bank to insure her
good faith.
The Proposals
Paris, Sept. 8.—The proposals con¬
tained in the note which the Inter¬
allied Council of Ambassadoi-s are
virtually identical to those in the
original ultimatum dispatched to. Ath¬
ens by Premier Mussolini.
All the penalties the Council would
impr.se are in conformity with Ital¬
ians’ demands except that which call¬
ed for the saluting of the flags of
three allied nations instead of Italy’s
alone and the highest Greek military
authority shall present his govern¬
ment’s regrets for the Janina mur¬
ders to three allied diplomatic repre¬
sentatives at Athens.
