authoritatiyely, is opposed to any in

ton from northern and western
Europe reaches the quota allowed by

pointed out, the inflow from southern
Europe has reached the permitted
maximum each year with many thou
sands of others in that section seeking
to come to this country.
Amendments to the present law,
which Mr. Davis is having prepared.

DISTORTED MARKET
BARS PROSPERITY.
WALLACE DECLARES
Farmer Not Getting Enough
for Crops, Says Agricul-
ture Secretary.

Washington, y. c.. Dec. 5.-The
ed condition of the American farmer
is brought out forcibls by Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace in his report
to the president, made public Tues
day. This might have been Il prosper
ous year for agriculture and for the
nation, says the secretary but for the
distorted relationship between prices
received for farm products and the
prices paid for things the farmer
must buy. The physical basis of pros
perity, he says, is here--tood III sup
erabundance and the raw material
which goes into various products, in
Guiding cIothing-but the real salts
factions of prosperity are still around
the corner
In spite Of discouragements for
three years renewed. continues the
report. the farmer. in contrast with
various other groups, has produced
abundantly without cessation. This
year the average of the IA principal
crops was about 337 100000 acres.
which is 100000 above the 10-year
average and only 100000 acres be-
low last year. As result of long
hours OF hard labor, aided by favor
able weather conditions. the tonnage
of his group OF principal crops was
greater than last year and above the
10-year average. But in spite of this
great quantity of actual wealth pro
duced. farm people comprising one
third of the population. have great
ly reduced purchasing power re-
sulting from the decline of farm prices
below the pre-war level while other
commodity prices are 30 to 100 per
cent above.
Secretary Wallace diagnoses the dis
crepancy between farm prices and
prices of other things as due TO over
production of many farm crops, CON
tinued high freight rates. the mainten-
ance of industrial wages at near war
time levels. economic depression and
deprecated currency in European
countries, interference with the effic-
lent functioning of necessary industries
and unreasonabiy high costs of distri-
button of some farm products. AL
though there is no production Of farm
products in excess of world needs, he
says. there is an production from
the farmers standpoint whenever the
quantity produced can not be marketed
nj price which will cover all produc-
tion costs and leave the producer
enough to tempt him to continue in
the business. There has been an ov-
of some crops every year
for three years. Better adjustment of
farm production is worth striving for,
he says. as il will be Il benefit to both
producer and consumer.

that the Straits discussion will be re-

countries will fall in with the Turkish
suggestion and set forth their wishes.
The allies seem determined to ignore
the Russian attempt to speak for
Turkey, and are determined also to
convince the Russian representatives
that bolsheyik Russia is not dominat-
ing the Straits discussion. The fact
that Ismet Pasha conferred with the
allied leaders helped to strengthen the
impression that if the conference is not
yet out of danger, it at least is not yet
on the rocks
Another feature of the day was the
pope's intervention in behalf of the
