IS UP TO CONGRESS
Plan to Aid Wheat Grower Is
Favored by French.

Upon his arrival In Washington
Congressman Burton L. French OF
Idaho expects TO take up, as early as
possible, the proposal to get federal
reserve bank assistance to carry wheat
notes at the federal bank for longer
than 80 days.
MIR. French said at Moscow last
Saturday: There must be some
method devised TO prevent speculators
controlling the price of farm
products. Unless this Is done there
will be a serious Shrinkage 10
production. The plan suggested
would mean $l5,000,O0O 10
$50, 600, 600 to Idaho. Oregon and
Washington in single season. The
matter is of such Importance that it
probably will receive prompt attention
by congress and some remedy y

The speaker said he represented
the third generation of Christians
IN his family, his grandfather hav-
ing been one OF the first converts.
He said there were relatively few
japanese Christians, but he had
hopes that Christianity would
become the dominant religion of
the East as it is of the West. He
brought a round of applause when
he contrasted the humane record
OF "heathen' Japan with that of
christian" Germany during the
recent world war.
He was unsparing in his con-
demnation OF newspaper reports
concerning Japanese activities in
Asia or their attitude toward the
United States. These reports, he
declared, are untrue and tend to
arouse the natural excitability OF
the Japanese, and he advised his
hearers to get the truth before
drawing their conclusions. He
said Japan is not perfect, and
makes mistakes, one of which has
been made in the Corean problem
but, he added, no nation is perfect,
and all are apt to make mistakes,
since nations are made up of indi
viduals and no individual is
perfect.
