DECLINES AID TO EUROPE
Glass Says Peoples Overseas Must
Meet Their Own Problem Of
Sinking Exchange.

Washington. Feb. Europe, in
so far as the United States govern
ment Is concerned, must rely upon her
own resources in retrieving financial
equilibrium.
This was the Interpretation here
generally of the letter Secretary OF
the Treasury Glass has sent to com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, which sought a
government expression on the pro-
posed international conference of
hnanciers and commercial leaders to
discuss reconstruction problems.
In blunt statement of the facts as
he sees them, Mr. Glass declared 1.-THE
American government has done all
that 1t believes advisable and practi-
cable to aid Europe. The conference p
he added, would serve to cause con-
fusion and revf~e hopes, doomed TO
disappointment, of further government
loans"

MEREDITH SAYS
SPEED OUTPUT
New Secretary Of Agriculture
Has High Cost of Living
Cure.
DISCHARGE ALL IDLE HELP
Declares Useless Employees and Mid.
dlemen Must Be Released From
Nonproductive Work That They
May Become Producers.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Reduce the
number Of middlemen and encourage
their return TO the farms to help IN
crease production of food.
That is the message brought TO the
capital by the new secretary of agri-
culture, z. 4. Meredith OF Iowa.
AIR. Meredith was sworn IN amid
clamors for his Immediate attention %
the problem of reducing the cost ii
living. de had been inundated with
kilograms and letters from all parts Of
the country asking what he is going
TO do to bring down prices
The secretary, a tall. 1.-THE man of
nervous, intense energy, with black
wayy hair, black, piercing eyes and
black close-cropped mustaehe. slightly
touched with gray. was running
through these messages and expressing
amazement that they should be ad.
dressed to him.
There must be a general feeling
that the cost of living is essentially
an agricultural problem" Mr.. Mere
dith observed, as he added another
sheaf to the stack of messages. .It is,
of course, related to agriculture. but
no more than to many other lines Of
activity, and / am tempted to believe
that the solution of the problem lies
more in the hands of those interested
In distribution and nonproductive en-
terprise than In the hands of the farm
ers."
The secretary said the farmers will
produce their utmost IF given satis-
factory conditions
What is the matter with condi-
tionS?' he was asked.
"Aiatter?" Mr.. Meredith calculated,
his eyes fairly blazing. 1T certainly
does not spur a farmer TO greater pro-
duction to be obliged to soll his prod.
ucts for half or less than he later sees
them sold for at retail.
The dairy farmers wonder if they
are treated squarely when they receive
81 to 40 cents for butter, and see II
retailed at So.
''The poultry men wonder why
when they receive from 40 to so cents
for eggs. they retail as high as 81 d
dozen
THE hig growers wonder Il they are
not in hazardous business when
they buy fencing and all other sup
plies at greatly increased prices and
then see their product fall 80 per cent
and sold by them at an actual loss In
answer to a demand on the part Of the
rest of the population for a reduced
cost of living"
''must see that no useless employee is
retained to add to the cost of dlstrib-
uting what the farmer now produces.
Useless employees must be released
from nonproductive work that they
may go into productive work.
let us enjoy in America as highly
developed system of distribution
and let this include all the professions,
doctors. lawyers, teachers, as well as
retailers, transportation, etc.--as we
now have, but let us cut out the use
less member. the surplus one here and
there. and give him an opportunity to
become producer upon the farm or
