Chlrtfo Tribute Silt lake Tribute Wire. WASHINGTON. May Hoping to atert further investigations ty the tariff commission on duties on vegetable oil, a delegation of southern producers and public officials baa ar. ranged to make a final appeal to President Harding, tomorrow moraiog. While the southern producers are not vitally interested In linseed or flax seed oil, on wnlch an Investigation a as ordered yesterday by the commission, they are fearful that this action means that the commission has in mind favorable consideration of the request of soap manufacturers for Inquiries to determine whether duties on other vegetable oils, particularly Peanut oil and cotton seed oil, are too high. The southern producers fn presenta final protest against the reopening of the controversy over duties on vegetable oils declare that a formal Investigation such as proposed will result In great injury to tbs particular commodities involved as well as disturb all agricultural lines. Those in the delegation who have to see the made an appointment M. Walker, president are. Clifford of Georgia; J. J. governor-eleBrown, commissioner of agriculture of B. commissioner H. Harris, Georgia: of agriculture of Bouth Carolina; J. M. Moore, oommiaeioner of agriculture of Alabama; W. A. Graham,, president of the American Peanut Growers1 association, J. B. Alexander, president North Carolina Peanut Growers association. and John H. Kirby of Texas president Southern Tariff associaing before the president ct tion. Pleased With Thrift. The southern producers were highly pleased when congress boosted duties on various vegetable oils In the law, Mr. Kirby, who has been on of th most actlvs in obtaining high duties for products of the south, in discussing the protest to be made to the president declared that ths proposed investigation would result disastrously to southern farmers The agricultural states are beginning to prosper under the Fordney MoCumber measure, said Mr. Kirby. Those productive industries of the south which only recently wero in a distressed condition now show evidence of new life and hop and development. To docket the vegetable oil schedule for s rehearing at this time would most surely disturb this condition, and there is neither a publ.c de. mend nor a national need for such a course; on the contrary, the national need is the other way, What the country needs in order to go ahead along paths oA business activity and contentment Is stability, rest from disturbances which unsettle the minds and affairs of the people. Want Ns Molestation. "It would be most unfortunate to take from ths peanut growers of the south, or from the farmers engaged In other agricultural lines, any degree of the assurance the tariff building gave them that .they would not sell what they raise in competition with similar products from the orient snd other countries of cheap labor. "1118 business Interests of the south can best be served by leaving ths are. present tariff schedules as they into- - every Thev have put activity worthy enterprise, they have taken up the slack in the labor surplus, with consequent opportunity for onr toilers, and they have set security about our great agricultural and pastoral Indus- -, tries. To reopen the vegetable ell schedule for readjustment would be 1to create unwholesome uncertainty, which -would-ac-t disastrously upon southern farmers To injure a basic Industry like agriculture mean to reach out and strike a like blow to all other In i duntries.

Great Britain has six vJfa to America s one. This was the most concrete of the arguments used against the tongue of nations in tbe campaign that Hiram Johnson made against It- - Again, in Hardings speech about the international court he recalled this objection, treated it as if it were serious, but said that for the purposes of the court he would be wilHng to waive It, This argument, because it is so simple and concrete, has- - had weight with many persons In America. About this argument certain facts can bo set down which Save at least the merit of an historical narrative of how tbe relative numbers ' 8 to 1 arose, and also point to some surmises which the reader may or ma not accept as to bow the discrepancy would work out in actual practice. Supposed To Bo Trick. This argument Is commonly put forward as if it were some kind of trick on the part of Great Britain, by which she would be enabled to have six times as much power in the league as America. Historically, this Is inaccurate. When the Paris peace conference was in session tt was taken for granted that Great Britain, like every- other nation, would have one vote in the league. But there were in Paris t the conference certain representatives of the British dominUks men ions, Hughes of Australia, who we-- e exceptionally jealous for the prerogative of their dominions and insisted upon assertion of their said, la right -ft Men like Hughe Australia was (good enough to help win tbe war she Is good enough to have a voice In the league The argument sounded plausible.
