Warns Latin Lands Must Seek Peace Battle Clouds Gather Over Bolivia and Paraguay as Washington Meet Opens. Washington, Dec. 13. With a for mal statement from Paraemav declar ing that, war with Bolivia was.im- minent before it, the special com - mittee of the Pan-American confer ence striving to bring about peace met late today. These, were the im portant developments: 1. Secretary Kellogg in his ca pacity both as chairman of the con ference and secretary of state, pre pared to send a sharp reminder to the warlike nations of the gravity of their actions. 2. Pressure was being exerted by every nation attending the Pan-American arbitration conference to have Bolivia and Paraguay submit to arbi tration. Both Ignore. Meet. 3. Neither the Bolivian rior the the Paraguan delegates attended the conference, nor gave any indication, that they would do so. 4. In American and other official circles the situation was viewed with extreme gravity. At the moment when Secretary Kellogg and the Pan-American dele gates believed that peace would tri umph in the threatened - boundary dispute between Paraguay and Bo livia the little republic of Paraguay threw a bomb into the very delicate situation. Juan V. Ramirez, Paraguayan charge d'affairs, left the following note with Secretary Kellogg and Dr. Victor Maurtua of Peru, chairman of the special committee appointed to compose the differences: Concentrating Troops. "The legation has received official information, from its government, that, notwithstanding the peaceful sentiments of Paraguay, Bolivia is concentrating troops and war ma terials on the frontier, all of which tends to make the outbreak of war imminent." In this ominous atmosphere the special committee dealing with what officials believe has the possibilities of a general war in Latin-America, redoubled their efforts to find some way out of the difficulty. The situation Is acute and calls for prompt and drastic action to avert a clash between armed forces already mobilized on the border. This would unleach forces nevt to impossible to restrain .through mediation. Prepare Strong Notes. The only definite action was that of Secretary Kellogg, who prepared very strong notes to the American ministers in Paraguay and Bolivia, These notes are now in the course of transmission. . Speaking as secretary of state he is understood to have instructed them to act promptly and firmly. The respective ministers are ' to visit the presidents and foreign of fices and urge them to withdraw their troops from the border and submit the dispute to arbitration Unless they lo so, they will be told they will be charged with the responsibility of disrupting the peace of South America. . . Some Hopeful Signs. .... JKarner in tne day tnere were some hopeful signs that the affair would be ended shortly. It was in timated. that Bolivian Minister Sr. Don Eduardo Diez de Medina would finally sit with the special commit tee appointed to deal with the Bo livia-Paraguay dispute. ; Today he made it plain he would not do so unless Paraguay apologized and made reparation for firing on Bolivian troops. ... There was also a hopeful tone in a reply from the Argentine republic to a note from Secretary Kellogg ask ing what its attitude would be in the matter. r Later today reports were received from the Argentine Baying that coun try also had mobilized troops on the border of the Great Chacp provinces, which, are the subject of dispute.

Expansion of the size of farm operations is already taking place in some sections of the corn belt. The farm promises to become a bigger business with fewer pro prietors. The American Society of Agricul tural Engineers heard these predic tions at a day devoted to the "Present Status and Trend of ' Large Scale Farming." It listened to Thomas D. Campbell tell of his :: 100,000-acre farm in Montana. It was told the reason the farm faces' the possible todg' of modern commerce is that mergers, comDinanonB ana emciency the farmer generally Is not the- busir ness student demanded by this 'in tricate day. . . .x- ' Family farming faces virtual , ex tinction unless it uses, better meth- ods, a large-scale operator from the , corn aeu aeciarea. ; "Actual experiments in the large- scale organization of . agriculture have moved far enough; in the .past few years, so that we can see some-, thing of the possibilities and limita tions In this direction," E. G. Nourse,' chief of the agricultural division of-, the Institute of Economics at .Wash-' ington, reported to the engineers.' "In the case of . one crop farming near the extensive, margin' of -cultivation we shall doubtless .have some operating units yh'ichu go far in.the- direction of a factory.system of han dling machinery, and machine' labor. On Mr. Campbell's .farm, . for In stance, harvesting outfits go in fleets" of. four, . each . ktoujv ..-trailed ; by a master mechanic, ready to render as sistance to any outfit' wnich 'gets into difficulty."; This is backed in inrn by a central power " equipped shop In charge of skilled machinists and other workers.

"One need .not f uestion the tech nical advantage of such a set-up. It is fairly obvious also that this type of organization grows naturally out: of. the character of farming apd the geo graphic, situation presented In .Mon tana and to be found likewise In other sections, such as. the southwest! wheat belt, where also large-scale enterprises have developed. We shall need much more elaborate cost, stud ies,, however, tpr establish unequivoc ably the net economy of. such meth-. ods. ... . . '. , "My own observatipn. leads me to believe that the' degree of efficiency attained on the big power farm un der something resembling, .factory methods can be practically duplicated in a very large part of our farming country at a cost as low or ' lower. This would mean only a very 'moder ate stepping up of the size of farms as we now have them. , ' Only Moderate Change Needed ' . "Over, most .of " our. .agricultural territory a very moderate, reorgani zation of the family fam ; is' suffi cient to produce the needful degree of labor specialization at no. increase of cost, it is being demonstrated over and over again. There is much rea son . to think ;that - the farm needs only to become a three or a four-man farm to permit of a labor specializa tion which will approach maximum efficiency in the -utilization of modern mechanical equipment on the same basis of labor : cost as now obtains for farm work. . , . , -: .- "Whenjwe turn from the mechan ical, to. the commercial demands ; of agriculture,- the picture changes rather, markedly, , The small Amer ican . farmer . characteristic, of the past is showing himself by no means adequate .of., the , growing - complex ities of the : modern . commercial situation. - - - -. "It would seem a. self-evident proposition that in no field of human endeavor could, it be expected that leaving managerial decisions , to .two thirds of all the workers -Could result in anything but inefficiency almost medieval in character.

Where Actual Problem Lies- " "I am confident that we- shall see an increasingly large. - number, of large-scale operations in agriculture and that the movement toward - so called ; corporation farming could readily progress at a rapid rate were the difficulties in its way merely of a. technical - character.
