GOOD LOAN FOR
GERMANY UP
To FRANCE
Approved by United States
and Britain, Declares Sec
rotary Hoover.

Upon France depends the success
OF floating the German govern.
ment's proposed food bonds, Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover declared
today.
The United States and Great Brit
ain have already informally ap.
proved the German plan to give
the bonds priority over PREPARATION
payments and the matter now
hinges on the attitude of France,
according to Hoover. Technically
the matter is up to the reparations
commission.
Hover said he supposed most Of
the food that Germany would buy
would be purchased In the United
States. although he added, should it
be acquired elsewhere, it would re-
act to the benefit of this country,
taking that much food off the
market.
He said negotiations have been
in progress for some time in New
York to put up German exports,
potash for instance as security for
food that might be exported to Ger
many.
It was believed by Hoover that
Germany would need SIS ,OO0, 900 to
500 ,O00. 900 worth of foodstuffs to
meet the situation.

Despite the farmers troubles
arising from low prices OF their
farm products and the high prices
for the services and articles they
must buy" the general agriculture
situation in the United States
gives renewed hope to millions of
farmers who have struggled against
distressing conditions" Secretary Of
Agriculture Wallace declares In his
annual report to President Coolidge.
Wallace said that this statement
did not warrant the assumption.
however, that the state of agricuI-
ture IN all sections is now

the standpoint Of the farmer or
from the standpoint Of national In
terest.''

tary stated. 'sThe ratio between
prices Of most farm products and
prices OF other commodities Is stiII
far out of line. Industrial wages
continue at wartime levels and
thus help to maintain high prices
for most Of the things the farmer
buys. High freight rates stin pre-
vail, and, while not the cause Of
low farm prices, place one more id.
ditiOnal burden upon the farmer
which he can Ill afford toapay IN

The costs o. retail distribution
Of farm products are unreasonable
large, thus enhancing the price 10
the consumer and depriving the
farmer of the benefit OF increased
consumption which ought to follow
lower prices which result from

Advises Export Agency.
Wallace recommended the estab-
lishment Of a Federal agency TO
purchase and export wheat and
other farm products. but opposed
fixing Of prices by the Government.
He urged the acquisition of addi-
tionaI forest lands by the Govern
ment, and asked executive authority
to place within the national forests

able for the production OF timber
or for the protection Of water

Wallace depIored the drift Of .he

destroy pestiferous interference with
radio .broadcasting.
A delegation of distinguished radio
scientists discussed the situation
with the President, They told him
that commercial radio competition is
today cutting into the entertain-
ment, diversion, and instruction OF
the millions Of radio users through
out the country. Commercial broad
casters are intruding their personal
business into the same wave lengths
that are In common use OF the aver
age radio listener.
Silly Love Notes Sent.
silly love notes cross the path Of
important educational discussions.
Dear George" messages cut OFF the
enjoyment of millions. Turtle-dove
notes from sweetheart aboard ship
to his sweetheart ashore cut into the
ears OF probably million listeners
who are being otherwise entertained.
These commercial companies could
very well use other wave lengths.
but they sacrifice the contentment
of millions merely to get ahead OF
their competitors.
President Coolidge was informed
that he himself has suffered from
this system Of unwarranted Inter
ference.
Navy Cut Off Address.
A naval broadcasting station cut
ia ~ - ~ n.
dress to Congress-. Several hundred
thousand anxious hearers were cut
off in New England.
incidentally, the radio scientists
said to the President that he has an
Unusually clear radio voice which
should stand him in good stead in
the next few months.
President Coolidge has taken up
the matter with Secretary Hoover.
Bills designed to curb this nuisance
will be presented by Hoover to the
present Congress.
The radio delegation which called
upon the President was made up of
Walter Howey, managing editor of
the Boston American; George Burg
hardt, New York, president of TIE
Radio Club Of America; John v. L.
Hogan, New York, past president, In
#stitute OF Radio Engineers; John
Shepard, 3D., Boston. vice president,
the National Radio Broadcasters.
and Paul Cooley, New York, vice
president Of the Radio Club and
probably the foremost amateur radio
operator in the. world.
Points III Requests.
Their specific requests were as
follows:
That the Department of Commerce
declare commercial use Of the $50
wave to be malicious interference
with broadcasting and therefore ef-
feet regulation requiring the cessa-
ton OF $50 traffic, or to secure an
agreement between the operating
companies that will result in the
stopping OF that traffic.
That radio be given the status of q
separate bureau In the Department:
Of Commerce.
That Supervising listeners be an.
pointed to prosecute the stations
that are guilty of interference.
That Hoover's department be sim.
piled with sufficient funds to enforce
the already existing anti-radIo hog

CANNED I GODS.
POISONED BY
SOIL
Certain Spores Found by Pro-
lessor IN Goods I'nprop-
erIy Put Up.
BY H. @. HAMILTON,
C0srnopIo1afan News Service.

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Dr. John c..
Geiger Of the United States Public.
Health Service. attached to the TINT
versity} of Chicago, today announced
he had confirmed his belief that
botulism, the food poison which has
taken heavy toll of life, bears a
direct relation to the soil in which
the food is grown.
Toxin producing spores were
found IN saTnplesA of soil submitted
from Morrill,, Nebr., where the poi-
son recently claimed three victims.
Three samples Of soil were taken
from the garden in which the death
producing foods had been grown.
Dr. Geiger said. The food In qles-
ton was green beans.
1.-THE spores found their way into
the beans from the soil, DR..
Geiger explained. They were not IN
themselves poisonous. But the
beans, when canned, were not
properly processed as is so often the
case In home canning. and the
spores produced q toxin This
toxin, when taken into the human
body causes death in twenty four.
to seventy.fo1r hours.
Two other samples of soil from
Cn0 " Q1OIIllA s61loO WGIO
sent to be analysed. One Of these
proved positive.
"This is merely an indication of
the relationship between the disease
and the pollution Of the soil, " DR..
Geiger said I'VE have found that
in the Rocky Mountain States,
where outbreaks occur most fire.
quently, that soil pollution usually
runs s,hove 20 per cent This also
is true of the State OF Nebraska"
"Only prolonged boiling Of vege-
tables and meats can make them
safe in home canning" DR.. Geiger
warned. This means boiling Tor
about six hours at sea level before
canning and again for about half
~, hour before serving =
