Next Six
 Years Events
 To Fix Policy

Amherst, Mass, June 10. - The events of the next few years will largely determine our national policy for a long time to come, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace declared today at the fiftieth anniversary of the Mas sachusetts Agricultural College. up to the present time this nation, like Topsy, has just growed,' he said. Now we have come to the time when there should be a more conscious de- cision of our growth and a far great CT coordination of our various actiV. itieS
 '"The relations between agriculture and industry, commerce and finance. will of necessity, become increasingly intimate,' the secretary said.
 Secretary Wallace pointed out that it was of the greatest importance that the young men in agricultural col leges should be given more thorough training in matters of marketing, transportation, finance and everything else which has to do with making a thoroughly sound, prosperous and self-sustaining nation.
 According to Secretary Wallace the farmer, in a sense, is the greatest speculator in the world, because his business is subject to risks against which he has not yet learned how to insure. He is at the mercy of the weather, cannot control production. has nothing to say about price and does not know until six months or a year after the work is done what his wages,aS represented by the price he gets for his crops will be. He claimed that this was decidedly bad system of economy

Will Bury Calbraith
 Saturday

Cincinnati, June 1O-The funeral of Colonel Frederick w. Galbraith, commander of the American Legion who was killed in an automobile ac- cident at Indianapolis will be held Saturday afternoon in Music Hall, the largest auditorium in the city. This was decided upon early today by Robert J. Bentley Post, American Legion, of which Colonel Galbraith was a member, and after the widow expressed the wish that the post make all arrangements for the funeral. It is likely that burial will be in Airing ton cemetery, Washington.
 Mrs. Galbraith expressed the desire this morning, to be allowed to remain alone with the body all day. Satur- day morning it will be taken to Memorial Hall where it will lie in state until the hour for the funeral.

Conditions Interfere
 With Mexican Laws
(Continued from Page One.)

CContinued from Page One.) ican official on matters pertaining to the pending relations between the stated.
 There are no Col. Houses in this administration, it was said at the White House. It is understood by of ficials here that Dover is in Mexico on personal business
 It is expected that the Mexican situation will be taken up in its en- tirety by the cabinet at today's ses- sion.
 The N~te Department is expected to reach an early decision on the ques- ton Of whether the latest action of President Obregon in levying an in creased export tax on petroleum con- stitutes an infringement of the rights of American oil producers.
 If the decision is in the afirma- tive, no time will be lost in making vigorous representations to the Mex ican government. If the matter is found to be one which lies within the purview of the Mexican laws American oil interests, which have already brought the new order to the attention of the Department, will probably be advised to seek redress in the courts of Mexico.
 The announcement of the tax in- crease coming as it did immediately upon the heels of President Obre- gon's apparent refusal to sign the treaty proposed by Secretary Hughes, has unquestionably added tension to the situation.
