If you LOOK forward to taking up

yourself if YOU are qualified for the

You ought 20 be a good mixer and

DO not stay with any firm that is not

Washington - American producers
may be forced to urge cancellation of
interest charges on the Allied govern
ment. debts to the United States, Gov.
ernor Strong of New York Federal Re-
commission. ssG
He expressed no direct opinion Of the
proposed cancellation, but declared
that the economic structure Of the
country depended upon foreign mar
keting of surplus raw material, that
extension Of further credits to foreign
buyers would not help, and that for
eign exchange quotations which ncces-
sarily were influenced by German re-
parations payments, had further COM
plicated the difficulties of American
exporters. sssfs5e
Question for Congress.
1.-THE international payment Of a
given. sum in dollars to the United
States cannot be used both to reduce
debts and interest, and at the same
time buy goods" he said. "Isn'tsit of
the greater advantage to the United
States. that the purchasing power Eu-
rope is able to develop be used to con-
sumo surplus American goods, rather
than to pay interest on debts. This
is question of policy for Congress,
with which have no connection, but
| am going to ask you to considerit in
connection with the fact that an
export market. for farming products is
of the greatest Importance.
Members of the committee pressed
Governor Strong to give his opinion in
case the debts and interest on foreign
government loans should be collected
but he replied that while there will
be natural result, it is not necessary
to discuss it."
Credit for Farmers.
Farmers may be provided with bet
ter credit facilities, he suggested, by
extension of the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn to include country banks, and by
system of nine months to two-year
loans through the land banks, with
part rediscount privileges, but he en-
phasized the Importance Of the foreign
market.
Governor Strong concluded with a
parting shot at critics of the Reserve
SYSTEMS operation. NJ
Through all the stress Of war" he
said, "the Reserve bank found the
money to meet the governments ex-
penses, and in New York alone we OBJ
tanned $4,000, O00,0 900, but there never
has been day when you couldn't take
a piece of paper money to Reserve
bank window and get the gold. Had
not thatsbeen tho case, the r-ice levels
in this country would have been tragic.
All I ask is that, in considering the
complaints against the system-for
they cannot be signified by any other
term-you remember the Reserve
bank protected this country as nothing
else could have done, from financial
disturbance and breakdown" A,@

RUSSIA IN DISTRESS
IL Million People in voIga Re-
gion Starving to Death.
Mrs. Harrison, Freed American News
paper Woman, Lays Famine to
Economic Faults.

Berlin-The American relief work
ers who are about to go into famine
stricken Russia probably will find 49,
100000 persons in the Volga basin ac-
tually starving and two-thirds of the
entire population of Russia on hunger
rations, according to Mrs. Marguerite
e. Harrison, the American newspaper
woman, recently released from prison
in soviet Russia.
This Mrs. Harrison attributes to in.
ternal economic and political distinte-
grafton under soviet rule, and also to
the ravages of wars against Admiral
Kolchak and General Wrangel and to
the drouth. What the drouth failed to
accomplish CONSUMPTION Of farmhands
and requisitioning of grain for the red
armies completed
: The result is that the Ukrainan re-
public, normally the granary of Rus.
STA, barely is able to sustain itself.
Siberia virtually is in the same pre-
dicament. Neither region is willing to
surrender grain to famine sections,
and migration of peasants is now pro-
ceeding, completely hating the autumn
planting.
Pitiful stories of suffering are told
on all sides. Peasants of Tambov, are
reported to be eating bread made of
straw, potato parings and weeds It is
called lebedya. In the Novenski pris-
on where Mrs. Harrison was detained,
the bread was adulterated with flour
which appeared to have been made
from cowpeas.
The food shortage. she says, is not
the result of the crop failure, but of
the economic conditions prevailing
since the beginnings of the revolution.
During the Kolchak campaign the Vol
ga provinces were overrun with the
results that the fields were not cult
waited and the population scattered.

Project Is Most important Re-
lief Measure Undertaken
by the Administration
CHANGE TO Be GENERAL
White House Statement Say. MISSES.

Will Benefit by Changes Ad.
vocated by Hoover.

Washington.-Strong hope for bet
ter prices in the agricultural markets
is justified by reductions in the rail-
road rates on grain for export, already
In effect and proposed. according to u
statement just issued at the White
House.
Recent reductions in the export rate
on grains between Chicago and New
York, the statement said, will be fol.
lowed by sweeping revisions of grain
rates generally, including those from
Mississippi river points and on the
lines to the Gulf, in order that the en-.
tire agricultural interests may share
fully in the benefits.
Producers Suffer.
"In general" the statement contln-
ued, advances in freight costs are
passed on to the consumer by adding
them to the selling price. But in
grains. whose domestic price is DOM
mated by the foreign price of the ex-
ported surplus, the producer suffers
when rates go up and benefits when
they go down. Therefore though the
exports represent Il minor share Of
the total grain production, the lower
ing of export rates affects the entire
crop. These reductions of rates, to-
.gether with the arrangements for fin
,incial assistance to export trade and
the assurance that Europe in going to
need extraordinary quantities of Am
erican foodstuffs. constitute justifi-
cation for strong hope that the ten
dency in agricultural markets will for
some time be decidedly toward better
prices"
Urged by Hoover.
Reductions of transportation rates
on grain for export was described as
Zone Of the most important measures
the administration has initiated for
the relief of agriculture and of gen.
eral industrial conditions" The re-
auctions, it was explained, were in
