(j. (). P. Leaders Welcome League Issue in Campaign Republican Wheel Horses Think Question Raised by Former Justice of More Concern to Democrats By International Nrm ftar.im, Augusta, (ia., April 7.—T'.ie Issue of American membership in the league , of nations, which former Supreme ■ Court Justice John H. Clarke asserts will be injected into the presidential campaign of 1924, will he enthusias tieally accepted by the republican [ party, it was asserted here tonight by : republican leaders who are returning ■to Washington with President Hard- ( j Ing. Political intimates of the president ■ who have canvassed with him the [outlook for 1924 during his month’s ■ sojourn in the south, read with tin idisguised interest the speech of Jus tiee Clarke in which he pledged a con siderable element of the democratic liarty to fight to the death for the , league. The general opinion was expressed ■ l>y republican lenders here that the Tiuestion raised by Justice Clarke Is ■ f [more concern to the democrats them selves than to the republicans. They pointed out that before the league can again become the supreme Issue of a national campaign, the democrats I must heal a pronounced breach in I their own party on this matter. Breach Exists. Tangible evidence that this breach on the league issue does exist in the democratic party was produced by Senator Hilbert M. Hitchcock, demo crat, of Nebraska, who was President "Wilson's spokesman in the senate during the long and bitter league fight of 1919-20. Senator Hitchcock took direct issue with Justice Clarke. He asserted the league of nations never again will be the Issue of a presidential race as .It Was Jn 1920. This flat prediction rooming from the man who led the ' league forces throe years ago, is ac ieounted of considerable significance. I t “I believe in the league of nations," Rabid Senator Hitchcock, "and I be Ulleve firmly that sooner or later the United States will become a member of It, but I do not believe that ever again will the question of American | membership In the league be made the supreme issue of a presidential campaign." Senator Hibhcock. like President Harding, believes that the Issues that j will decide the presidential campaign jof 1924 will be domestic and not for i eign. I None of President Harding's close ijrolltica! advisers believe Justice ' Clarke’s assertion that th* league i will be an Important issue next year. Threatens to Spit Democrats. The defeat suffered by the league forces In 1920 is yet too fresh, they believe, to warrant the democrats again going to the front under the league banner. The republican sages tire Interested In the league issue chiefly because it threatens to cause a wide split In the democratic party Inext year, hut it can be stated au thoritatively that President Harding and his political lieutenants will he well content to again risk their political feature on the league issue In 1924. President Harding brought his long Jva. "t’on to a close. Accompanied, by Mrs. Harding and their guests, the ^president left Augusta by special train tonight for Washington, where he will arrive at noon.

U Hull of Lincoln Winter Grains Deteriorated Last of March Federal Agent Shows Crops Generally Backward—Live stock Conditions Are More Favorable. Washington, April 7. — Winter grains have deteriorated somewhat during the latter half of March, ac cording to the seml-inonthly crop notes of the United btates department of Agriculture. I.ong continued do light in some sections with coid weather the last two weeks have retarded growth and both wheat and rye are generally backward. Freezing and thawing, with little or no snov* cover, has been common In large areas of the wheat belt and has undoubtedly done injury, the extent of which can not be estimated. The present condi tion is decidedly unfavorable though susceptible of considerable improve ment with favorable weather condi tions. Oats Seeding {’nntinue*. Seeding of oats has continued In southern areas, but has been gen erally retarded by unfavorable weath er conditions. Soil has been cold and wet In many sections and unfavorable for seed germination. The seeding of barley Is mostly awaiting warmer weather. Livestock Is In good condition as a rule In all sections. Lambing has progressed favorably a sa rule. The mortality has been variable. On the whole, the losses are small. In some states of the middle west, spring pigs havo suffered severe losses due to cold weather. Grasses Are Relayed. Lack of sunshine and cold weather has retarded krowth of grasses, and pastures, ns a rule, have made little advance in the last two weeks. In the central west, much clover in southern counties has been killed by severe weather. Ranges are In but fair shape, hut drying winds In the mountain states have damaged them to some extent. Farm labor is generally scarce and high priced. Competitions of mines, saw mills, road building and Industrial plants In many sections cannot he met by the farmers. A marked ten dency on this account to turn plow lands Into permanent pasture and to reduce acreage of corn Is In evidence. No Information has been received from South Dakota and Michigan. | Deportation of Louise Uncertain .. ! U. S.
