lRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The war finance corporation tonight is sued a call for a conference here April of southern bankers to dis cuss methods by which the exportab- ton of southern agricultural prod ucts may best be financed An nouncement of the conference fol- lowed discussion of the farmers problems by the cabinet today. after which it was said definite plans for farmer relief will soon be put for ward.
 The call, in the light of the days developments, was regarded as the first step by the new administration looking to a solution of the farmers difficulties
 Several other such meetings are planned, it was stated. Secretary Hoover expects soon to meet with representatives of the agricultural industry to talk over their problems. Leaders of several farmers organ iZations also are preparing to carry their problems to the White House.
 Officials of the finance corporation desire. it was said, to explain to the southern bankers just how far the federal agency can go in supplying 2 the money they seek. In this con nection it was deemed likely that the treasurys position on exports to Germany also would be made clear. The corporation already has ap-
 proved loan of $6,00O coo, 900 for the 1 financing of shipments to states in central Europe, and Secretary Mellon has said there was no objection to 1 loans on exports to Germany pro- ! vided the finance corporation was l given good security.
 1 There have been indications that 1 the corporation was ready to extend
 aid in shipping to Czecho- Slovakia and Poland.
 It apparently was the program ot | those officials having to do directly | with the farming industry to spread l conferences oyer several months ir I which time representatives from tht 1 various sections Of the country may 1 be called here. Finance corporation 1 officials have said several times tha the western and middle westerr farmers must be given consideration l soon.
 The meetings which MT. Hoove I will call, it was said, will be informa l and will seek to develop program 1 of cooperation with practical linn I it's for the disposition of crops Som officials were said to fear that unles

VIENNA, March 29-Former Elm peror Charles of Austria Hungary was in Vienna Sunday and met group of monarchists here according to information today from most re- liable quarters. The ex-emperor. it is stated, went from here to Buda- pest, but left the city within a few hours at the request of the Hungarian government. Those who were aware of the visit were unable to say what the ex-ruler's nGtive was, in view of the political conditions both in Aus tria and Hungary.
 So far as are indicated, the move ments of Emperor Charles were not known to the officials of the govern ment or of the diplomats here until after his departure.
 It is learned he dined Sunday night at the home of an aristocrat. in com pany with other monarchists. It is reported he departed by automobile for Budapest after dark.
 When the Horthy government in Hungary was advised of his presence in Budapest. it requested that he leave before the fact became public.
 Former Emperor Charles has been living in Prangins, Switzerland. since eafly in 1919, after having lived in retirement in Austria a few months dItel lne pfOciaInauOn or the Austria republic November 12, 191S He has clung to the title of royalty and thers have been frequent reports that he was plotting to secure his restoration to the Hungarian throne.
 Strong opposition has been dis played in allied quarters to the re appearance of the Hapsburg dynasty | in ruling capacity, and it is to be assumed that if the present reported visit of the ex-ruler to Hungary is to | regain the throne the move will be | met with action by the allies. BUDAPEST, March 29-Former Emperor Charles arrived here at : p. m- Easter Monday, according tc the best information today. He saw 1 Admiral Horthy, Hungarian regent and left at D. m. for Steinamanger

WASHINGTON. March 29.-Re- moval of all censorship restrictions over press dispatches transmitted by naval radio was announced by the navy department tonight.
 Under an order issued by the last administration, the department had reserved the right to hold up dis patches containing matter considered by the naval authorities to be inim- ical to the United States relations with other nations and to send the objectionable sentences back to the department for the approval or re- jection of the secretary.

The body will be taken to Roxbury in the Catskill mountains and buried Sunday, the eighty fourth anniversary of his birth near the spot where he was born The great naturalist and author oi outdoor books had hoped to return to his country home to die and his las words, uttered a few seconds before death, were:

EMERGENCY TARIFF
 TOPROTECT COTTON

While there probably will be no embargo on long staple cotton, the effort recently put forth by Senator Cameron and a number of local peo- pie and organizations doubtless will bear fruit in the revival of the Ford ney bill and it's early enactment into an emergency tariff to protect farm products pending the enactment of the permanent tariff law.
 This was indicated last night by a wire received by the governor. and by ident of the Cotton Growers 'associa tion- w. s. Stevens, by Frank Stew art and others The telegram to the governor was as follows:
 "in reference to yours of the
 18th, | sincerely believe, as you
 do, in embargo on long staple
 cotton and to that end took mat

Secretary Weeks
 Denies Selection
 of Chief of Staff

WASHINGTON, March 20.- Sec retary Weeks today set at rest ru- mors regarding the armyis new chief of staff. by declaring no selection had been made and that he would not make even a tentative selection until he had consulted President Harding
 Mir. Weeks explained that under the law only officers of, or above. the rank of major general whose names appear on the general staff initial eligibility list may be chosen.
 At present he said only the follow ing are. eligible: General Pershing and Major Generals March, Bullard, Dickman, Harbord, Morrison, Sum merall and Wood.

HARDING BEGINS COMP EXTENSIVE
 STUDY IF RAIL CONDITIONS TO FRAME PROGRAM
Conferences With Manag- CTS and Employees Will Be Held to Determine Rehabilitation Policy
CONGRESS MAY ACT
Roads Oppose Increase In Freight Rates and Elm ployes Take s t a n d Against Wage Cut
IRepubIican A. P. Leased wirez


 WASHINGTON, March 29. A comprehensive study Of American railway conditions was begun by the administration today with a view to formulation of definite program for railway rehabilitation.
 President Harding discussed the problem with his cabinet and later it was announced he would call into consultation soon the chairman of the interstate commerce commission and the railway labor board. Conferences with railway managers and employees are expected to follow in time to per- init action at the special session of congress-
 Discussion at the cabinet meeting was only of a preliminary character. but there were indications that the chief executive and his advisers were much concerned over information which has come into their possession. The administration has heard rum blings of dissatisfaction from many sources, the roads complaining of in- adequate income, the employees pro- testing against wage reductions, shippers asking for a reduction of freight rates and in some cases the general public appealing for better service
 All of these points are to be ex- amined in the inquiry, together with the relation of a healthy transporta- tion industry to the nations commer- cial life. Even the tariff question is considered by administration officials to be closely interwoven with trans portation policies, since in some in- stances import duties are said to operate to the disadvantage of Amer ican producers by permitting foreign products to reach American centers at lower cost than railway borne domestic goods. The most serious feature of the situation, however, as it has been pictured to administra- tion officials, is the apparent inability of the carriers to make both end. meet and keep service up to standard A number of high railway official. have told Mr Harding that unles. some way to increase earnings were found the whole transportation sys tenn faces paralysis
 It is understood that although fev definite remedial programs have beer suggested ir these conferences, mos of those who have presented the car riers side have advised against an, general increase in freight rates. / further increase. MT. Harding ha been told. might result in such cur tailment of traffic as to actually re duce earnings.
 The railway employees have vigor ously protested wage reductions, de claring that living costs require tha wage schedules remain unchanged.
 Added to this and contributing ma terially to the unsettled conditions o the industry, has been the confusion and inconvenience of restoring tn roads from war time to a peac time basis and of unscrambling tn various properties after operation a one system under government con trol.
