Bishop Shayler
Churchman Fears Upheaval
Against Anglo-Saxon Civ
ilization May Lead
to Kevolt.
"If we are going to have a better
civilization, we must have better man
hood and better moral fiber. Charac
ter culture la the thing that counts,"
said Bishop K. V. Shayler, addressing
the Itotary cluh at luncheon In Hotel
Kontenelle yesterday.
The bishop stated that education
has been tried :is a cure for the ills
that beset, civilization, but education
alone has not been effectiye.
"I am not a pessimist,” the bishop
added, "hut the facts face us, that
there Is a revolt against the Anglo
Baxon civilization. There is a current
of revolutionary upheaval and it be
hooves us to ponder and to serve our
civilizations well. We know that civi
lizations and republics as great as
ours have passed away. I want
the men nnd women of our city to
faqe the facts as they are. I want all
of us to strive to make Omaha a bet
ter, bigger and brighter city."
Moral Repair Costly.
The speaker noted that Nebraska is
paying $1,500,0.1)0 a year for the work
of moral repair and Omaha is paying
$500,000 a year to maintain Its human
repair shop. Ho quoted from statis
tics to show that the so-called lower
stratum of society is breeding at a
rate much higher than that of the
superior element. Heredity, he as
serted, Is the greater factor ill the
advancement of civilization.

Navy Urges Cut in
Small War ("raft
Would Have Harding Ne
gotiate Limitation With
4 Large Powers.
Washington, l'ee. 13.—(By A. F.)—
A request that President Harding seek
to • broaden the scope of the naval
limitation agreement so as to include
a limitation on construction of small
er types of war vessels and on mili
tary and naval aircraft, is included In
the annual naval bill as reported to
day by the house appropriation com
mittee.
Ih its report the committee point
ed out that the arms conference did
not limit the number of types of
smaller war vessels and added that
Information had reached congress
"that already large programs are
planned of vessels up to the maximum
size permitted under the agreement
and that new and larger types of sub
surface craft have begun to put in
an appearance."
Competition on Again.
"In other words,” the report con
tinued, "competition Is on again in
the single direction to which the un
ratified agreement does not extend,
and if It be allowed to go on unchecked
the purse strings again must he re
laxed and this government, like all
others, will be constrained to launch
upon a new program to the extent
necessary to keep us at least abreast
of any of the other powers.”
Under the bill as brought into the
house the president would he asked to
open negotiations with Great Britain,
France, Italy and Japan for an agree
ment which would limit future build
ing of all Hurface and submersible
types of war craft having a tonnage
of 10,000 or less and on all classes of
army and navy air crafts.

Farm Credit Measure
to Have Precedence
(Continued From r»*« One.)
sures and is « financing organization,
while the Norbeek bill Is a credit
measure.
Senator Norbeek expects the hank
ing committee, a conservatively or
ganized group, to oppose both the
Norris hill and his own, with the re
sult that both the Nebraskan and
South Dakotan will have to make
their fights on the floor.
The agricultural committee contin
ued hearing on the Norris bill, listen
ing to Mr. Fry of South Dakota,
presented to the committee by Rep
resentative Sinclair, Nonpartisan
leaguer of North Dakota. Present in
dications are that the Norris bill will
be acted upon favorably by the agri
cultural committee. Among the credit
bills, the Norbeek measure is like
ly to appeal much more to the ultra
progressive farmer group than the
Lenroot-Anderson bill and is offer
ed as a compromise measure which
arranges to give real farm credit, but
which will not invite the ultra con
servative opposition that is already
developing against the Norris bill.
Provides for inion.
The Norbeck bill provides that the
“union" shall be organized with a cap
ital stock of $200,000,000, divided into
$200,000,000 shares of $1 each, all of
which shall be subscribed by the gov
ernment. As the corporation assem
bles a surplus, it is to be used to
take the government-owned shares
after which the union will be organiz
ed as private corporation.
The union is to take over ail the
assets of the War Finance corpora
tion and become Its succeaor. The hub
of the measure is contained in the
provision that whatever the hoard of
directors decide that conditions result
or may result In an annual accumula
tion of staple farm products, or that
ordinary hanking facilities are Inade
quate to meet the situation, the union
may make advances to ary one pro
ducing, dealing In or marketing such
products, * for a period of not more
than one year and at a rate not to
exceed 1 percentum in excess of
the discount rate for 90 days commer
cial paper prevailing at the Federal
Reserve hank of the district in which
the loan is made.
In his latter bill, Senator Norbeck
provides for the extension of credit
to foreign buyers through the same
machinery, all of which Senator Nor
ris says is covered in his bill provid
ing for the Consumers and Producers
Financing corporation.
With the way open for the senate
to give consideration to these bills,
both the committees on agriculture
and on banking will rush through
some form of report. But the real
rural credits hill will he written on
the floor of the chamber.
