HARDIM6 FAVORS SCHEME Mowy He Would Advanoe la Dm Oftv. emment'a Share In Profits of the . Federal Reserve Banks, Payable Next Month. Washington, Dec. 4.--Immediate ^ 1 loans of $60,000,000 from government ^ ' foods t« aid fanners in the face of | <•! falling prices of their products is pro- ,.»•posed by Senator Hitchcock (Dern.) s' • Nebraska, in a bill drawn after a >ij." conference with Governor Harding of tl»e federal reserve board. ;; Senator Hitchcock plans to present : the measure when congress meets next week. _ The money which Senator Hitchcock t' ; ^ would have advanced to the farmers < is the government's share in profits of •: the Federel Reserve banks, payable 5 next month, and which under the law % - - w o u ' d b e u s e d t o i n c r e a s e g o l d r e - ; .v serves or amortize Liberty bonds. Loans would be made through the federal land banks on chattel mortgages or warehouse receipts with agricultural products or live stock as sev .curity. Loans on grain would be lim-, / ited to six months and those «a live (Stock to one year. "This would be only a drop la the ^ bucket toward meeting the enormous .needs of agriculturists," said Senator ^ • iHitchcock, "but it would have a good effect beyond the actual amount of ^ • -money made available." Senator Hitchcock indicated that <•* Governor Harding was favorably ln- ,4; .; clined toward the plan in view of the ; 1 fact that the profits from the reserve f banks would not be !arge enough to •** .'take up any substantial amount of >' ' liberty bonds as compared with the '«?" - amount outstanding. M . Opposition to the revival of the §i ^| W ar Finance corporation or any other of the governmental war emergency measures looking to the underwriting of prices and private business was ex- ^pressed by Senator Edge of New Jer- - *** - ^ sey, member of the senate committee *, on reconstruction. The New Jersey senator declared ®f,' >he would support no measure for re- * lief of the farmers which did not af- "ford relief "for the other 90 per cent jpV of the population." ' HOLIDAYS AID TO BUSINESS - Sign* of Betterment More Distinct (n '^irtain Quarters--Buyers B|0k . * ; ing Spring Goods. * New York, Dec. 7.--Dun's Review t of business for week ending Dec. 3, • says: Signs of betterment in business . and sentiment, if slow to appear, are ^rather more distinct in certain quarters. The retail movement, although J*lacking the desired breadth, although celerated as the holidays draw nearer, : and some primary markets are recovering a little from their lethargy. \ Yielding price invariably place a temporary check on operations, but there » Is usually a point at which buyers* Interest will be reawakened, and this basis is apparently being approached in some leading lines. The further Increase In failures revealed In the November statistics. Is neither unnatural nor surprising, as a , business readjustment such as is now In progress, may be expected to bring with It a higher commercial mortality. The news from some divisions of , the dry goods markets last week, was rather more encouraging. With a certain construction of %>ring cloths at 7% cents, the interest of some buyers was rekindled. MOSCOW THREATENS JAPAN Soviet' Government May Form Mill. •" •*** Alliance With China Against I the Japanese. AREEMTIM OUT BF LEAGUE Swiss Delegate Would Permit Vorar- ; Jaerg to Join Switzerland--Blockade Plan Is Adopted--Try to „ ",;M A Speed Up Work. ^•Geneva, Switzerland, Dec. 8.--An amendment to the covenant to the League of Nations eliminating article 10, the most mooted section of the pact, was introduced in the assembly of the league by Charles J. Doherty, Canadian minister of justice. The amendment will probably be referred to the committee on amendments. Honarlo Prlyrredon, head of tbe Argentine delegation, handed Paul Hymann, president of the league assembly, a letter announcing that the Argentine delegation had ceased Its participation in tbe assembly. Presentation and adoption of a resolution eliminating article 10 from the covenant of the League of Nations before the end of the present session of the assembly would occasion no surprise here, it was declared in some quarters. The interpretation of article 10 was provoked by the proposal of Giuseppe Motta of the Swiss delegation, who asked that if the present status of Austria was changed, Vorarlberg be permitted to join Switzerland. The text of the interpretation follows: "We cannot recommend the adoption of the proposal pat forward by M. Motta. We are indeed of the opinion that tbe entry of Austria into the league will in no way prejudice or affect the question so raised. We cannot help adding that tbe suggestion that admission to the league should have any such effect appears to arise from a misconstruction of article 10. "It cannot be too emphatically stated that article 10 does not guarantee tbe territorial Integrity of any member of the league. All it does Is to condemn external aggression on territorial Integrity and the political independence of any member of the league and call upon the council to consider what can'be done to resist such aggression." A definite plan for use of tbe economic blockade against members of the league breaking the covenant was unanimously adopted by tbe subcommission on blockade. The members of the commission expressed the belief that the plan would give the league a very effective weapon against offending members and do much to prevent international disputes from developing into actual wars. The general committee of the League of Nations assembly met to formulate plans to speed up the work of the assembly with a view to its completion by December 10 or 11. Sir Eric Drummond, the general secretary, said he thought It impossible to complete tbe unfinished business before December 18 or 20. Austria was unanimously voted a member of the League of Nations by the commission for the admission of new states here. It is expected the assembly of the league will ratify this action. A letter to President Wilson, accepting his offer to act as mediator in Armenia, was drafted by the council of the league here. Mr. Wilson's note, which was received hire, was read to members of the council, and was received with marks of liveliest satisfaction. NOW THEY LOOK i MAY ,-*• ",rl" Buy only Diamond Dyes! ~A.. .

WawMhgton, Dec. 8.--Standft)? at his desk where he served for six years, President-elect Warren G. Harding bade farewell to the United States senate and In a brief speech, choked wlth%inotlon, expressed the hope that he might have the co-operation of his colleagues In the four years beginning March 4 next. Senator Harding's presence In the senate marks the first time in history that a President-elect has attended sessions of that body as a member. The galleries were choked with people and hundreds stood outside unable to gain admittance. Senator Harding's voice was low and husky as he began his farewell. His eyes were dim with tears. "I am pleased at this greeting, my fellow members of the senate," he said. "There is still greater satisfaction in having this opportunity to say to you informally some of the things in my heart which I could utter in no other way. I recognize that I am here today under some,what unusual circumstances, and there is a delicacy about it that one In my position cannot escape through some form of self-effacement which does not seem quite possible. "No member of this body coold be more reluctant to leave It "I say to the senate that I came here with a very high respect for this body, and I am leaving it with greater respect than I had when I came. If one could always direct his own political fortunes to his liking, I should have preferred my membership here to any office a citizen may hold in this republic or elsewhere in the world. "I like the freedom, the associates, the patriotic sense of responsibility which abides here. I am conscious of the great place which congress holds under our Constitution, and particularly sensible to the obligations of the senate. "When my responsibilities begin in the executive capacity I shall be as mindful of the senate's responsibilities as I have been zealous of them as a member, but I mean, at the same time, to be just as insistent about the responsibilities of the executive. "Our governmental good fortune does not lie In any surrender at either end of the avenue, but in the co-ordlnation and co-operation Which becomes the two In a great and truly representative popular government. "This brings me to the thought particularly in mind. Something has been said about the 'senatorial oligarchy.' Of course everyone here knows that to be a bit of highly imaginative and harmless 'fiction. But I do recognize how essential Is the helpfulness of the seuate»in the making of a successful administration. "I want to express-today the wish of a colleague for the confidence and the co-operation of the members of this body in the four years which begin next March 4. I do not limit this fincere request to this side of the aisle. One cannot promise agreement in all things with an opposite party which Is sometimes Insistently wrong, but we may find common ground in the spirit of service, and hope for that agreeable and courteous and ofttimes helpful relationship with the opposite which has added to the delights of fellow service during the last six years. "We are facing no easy task. We have our full part in the readjustment of human affairs, after the world tumult. We have our tasks at home, we have our part in the Inevitable work of the civilized world. "I am sure that the necessity of wise solution will Inspire us to work together; to fttke common counsel, to be tolerant of one another and give the best which Is In all of us to attain the ends which become our republic at home and will maintain Its high place among the nations of the earth. "With propriety I cannot venture upon any suggestions now, even though I am speaking as a member of this body. Three months of the present administration remain, and I would have house and senate join cordially in making them fruitful rather than wasted months. Let me express the hope to one and all that, though there coti(es a change In official relationship, It will not interrupt our co-operation." Seize Sinn Fein Documents.

Hanley, better known to his friends and Inmates at the stat< prison as "Corkey," ceased to talk when he confided the secret of a counterfeiting machine he had constructed, to a friend in prison. The friend informed prison officials of the "mint," and Corkey was given a few more years imprisonment to his sentence. Prison officials, physicians and relatives have done everything possible to Induce him to answer questions, even to offering him freedom, but Corkey preferred to remain silent "It Is possible he Is dtpnb now," Warden Elmer E.
