C, Pleased by Wheat Price Guarantee COTTON RAISERS AIDED Senator Hoke Smith Says They Will Be Greatly Benefited Bj a Staff Correspondent Washington, March 13. "The moBt Important thins that the last Congress flirt for the farmer was to make (rood the government's guarantee of a mini mum price of 52.32 for wheat. Including spring wheat of 1319. and appropriate ?1, 000, 000,000 to carry It out," said Con gressman Asbury.F. lver, of South Carolina (Dcmocrate), chairman of tha Agriculture Committee. In discussing to day tho agricultural legislation before the last Congress. "We advanced by from $16,000,000 to 125,000,000 the value of the cotton new held by the farmers In the South when the passage of the amendment to the cotton futures act was obtained," con tinued Mr. Loer. "This amendment, which was passed as a part of the wheat price guarantee bill, does away with some of the loner grades of cotton and will undoubtedly advance the price of cotton now held by the southern farmers by from $3 to $6 a bale." Mr. Lever came very close to being elected a United States Senator Ust summer, and would without douDt ue a.Jnember of the Senate now had he notU, . , t.r : " listened to the appeal of President Wll- , Lx-Spcakcr Brands ab Lie ran and iitnarawn irom mo lower grades of cotton referred to pre viously In this article. "Congress passed first In 1914 a mjas ure providing for federal assistance to tho agricultural colleges on alarge scale and for the employment of agricultural experts from (ho colleges to go out Into the country and give demonstrations of those truths worked out In the colleges and agricultural experiment stations," said Senator Smith. "I believe tho Immense response made by the farmers to tho government's ap. peal for Increased production of food, stuffs was a direct result of tho great good that these traveling agricultural teachers have done and the system of educating tho farmer that has been car ried on by the Agriculture Department. "The House added 11,500,000 to the regular appropriation for this farm dem onstration work In this year's bill and the Senate added $3, 000,000 more to it. Hut It failed, owing to the llcpubllcan filibuster. I hope we can pass bo favor able a bill In tho extra bcsalon." Senator Hoke Smith said the cotton amendment to the wheat urlce-llxlng bill which amends the cotton futures art will be of great benefit to tho cotton growers, aiding them In obtaining better prices for cotton The cotton growers are badly In need of such assistance, he said. "The southern cotton farmers suffered much more from the war than any of our other farmtrs." continued Senator Smith. "Back ln19H, when the Euro, pcan war began, the exportation of cot. ton was stopped and the price fell disas trously low bccau.so u considerable part of the market was cut ort. Cotton vvaa hit hard again in 1918, when tho war trade board undertook to stabilize tho price of cotton In the market and put tho embargo on, bcrlously Hntcrferlng with the regnlar oourso ot tho market. The embargo Is still on. "The South may have been In the saddle during the war, but the southern farmers suffered moro than any of tho others."

Toole rield Against Tillman Mr. Iever, who came to Congress when ho was twent-flve years old and has heen here eighteen years continu ously since, threw his hat in the ring last spring for the United States Senate against Tillman. Senator Tillman was very old and feeble and had been able to do little for his district for several yearj. Mr. Lever was making good progress with his candidacy and the South Carolina politicians agreed that he would defeat Tillman. Then President Wilson made a per fonal appeal to Mr. Lever to withdraw from the race on the ground that Sena tor Tillman had staunchly supported the administration: was an old Confederate veteran, and had been of greit as sistance to the administration as chair man of tho Senate Naval Committee. Mr. Lever withdrew. A few weeks later Senator Tillman died suddenly, f.cver attempted to get back in the race ind the President was anxious that he liould and offered him his strongest support. But the time for making nom 'nationB In accordance with the South f'nrollna election laws had passed by Mist two or three .days, and Lever could "ot again enter the lists. It was gen erally agreed In South Carolina that Lever could have defeated Ben Tillman nnd could easily have won out over the cthr candidates. William P Pollack ns elected to the Senate to succeed Tillman and Lever was re-elected to the House. Filibuster Held Up Farm Project "Very material Increases In the imountn appropriated for agricultural fAfnston and farm demonstration work ere made In the annual agricultural nnnrnprlntlon bill, but its passage was defeased by the Republican filibuster In the Senate." continued Congressman Lever. "The House allowed an Increase of 11.500.000 over the normal appropria tion and the Senate added another 3, 000.000 to It. Then it all failed when the Senate Republicans filibustered against It. '.The appropriations for federal assist, ance to every kind of farm activity, such as farm demonstration work and the fighting of all pests and. animal, vege. table and fruit diseases, were made vui-y liberal In the bill considered by the last Congress and passed by the House. For instance, there was $500,000 In the bill to eradicate the corn borer and similar sums to fight all the other pests." Hoke Smith' Activity Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, a member of the Senate Agriculture Com mittee, expressed his belief that the In creased appropriations for farm demon stration work In all the states was the greatest thing done by tne last congress for the farmers. Senator Hoke Smith comes from an agricultural Section and takes great Interest In all farm matters before Congress. He was, with Congressman Lever, the Joint author of the Smith-Lever bills passed during the last six years for agr'. cultural extension, vocational education and vocational education and rehablllta. tlon. Smith and Lever were also the co- authors of the amendment to the cotton ' futures act eliminating several of the Report Concerning Sen ate Situation By the Associated Press Atlanta. Go.. March 13. Champ Clark. ex-Speaker of the House of Representa tives, in a signed statement given out here last night, denied he had over said the league of nations had no cnance to be ratified by tho United States Menate. "Anybody who says that I said 'Presi dent Wllsoh's league of nations has as much chance of being ratified as you have of being Pope of Rome- Is a ma licious liar," tho former Speaker as. serted. "I have studiously avoided dli cusslon In ny lecture" or In interv lews, although asked to do so ir. twin. "I gave as a reason that I was study ing tho subject and the arguments on both sides thoroughly. When the report came over to the House, tho last night of the session, that fifty Senators had signed a round robin against it, I said that the Icaguo of peace could not be ratified because it takes two-thirds to ratify that is unless they changed their minds because of amendments or for other reasons all of which is mathematical demonstration. "1 never spoke to Congressman Mays on the bubject in my life, and it so happened that I had no conversation with him about anything for a good while, as I had no reason to do bo. "ThlL Mays canard Is part and parcel of the campaigns which he and others are making to disorganize and factlonal lzo the Democrats in the House." By the Associated Prcs Seoul. Korea. March 13 The decla ration of Korea' Independence says It represents the voice of 20,000.000 per sons speaking in the namo of Justice and humanity. "We are no mean people." the decla ration continues. "We have forty-three centuries of history as a distinct self governing nation. It Is our solemn duty to recure tho right of free and perpetual development of our own national char acter, adapting ourselves to the princi ples or tho reconstruction of the world. "It Is nearly ten years since, for the first time In our history, wo put on the yoke of another nation and were made the victim of the cursed nnd militar istic Imperialism of the.world." Japan Called Oppressor The declaration continues that it is the duty of Koreans to secure their In dependence, to wipe out injuries, "get rid of our present sufferings" and "stir up the national spirit und vitality, so long suppressed by tho unjust regime of Japan, and leave our children eternal nceaom, instead of a bltttr and shame ful Inheritance. We shall fight to the last drop of blood in the great cause of liberty." It Is asserted In the declaration that there is no intention en the part of the Koreans to avenge themselves ae-alntt Japan, that their only desire Is to right tne wrongs aonc, not bv tho Japanese nation, but by the few of her statesmen who were led by the old aggressive policy. It adds that the actual result of annexation without the free consent cf the people concerned was bitter and unreconcllablo animosity, and hostility Is growing deeper between the Japanese and Koreans The two nations, the declaration con tinued, ought to, and must, enter Into new relations of friendship and happi ness. Moreover, It says, with a view to maintaining peace In the Far Hast, the Independence of Kcrea Is of deep signifi cance, for continued occupation of Korea Is liable to provoke more suspicion and fear against Japan In the minds of tho 100,000,000 people In China. . "Could any International peace be expected without perfect harmony among the eastern nations?" savs the docu ment. "Wo believe the Independence of Korea worthy of universal considera tion and approval. We shall live to be free. We shall enjoy heaven-given hap piness. Justice la with us.
