SCHEME IS BARED FOR OVERTHROW GERMAN PREMIER
(continued from Page one)

ban on deliveries of German goods to France and Belgium dic not mean necessarily. an immediate resumption of these deliveries.
 Resumption of the payment in kind" it was explained, naturally de- bends upon return to normal or the economic life of the Ruhr.
 The Ruhr industries, officials saio' have suffered even more than the vorld has been led to believe, as re suit of the nine months idlenesS brought about by passive resistance to the Franco Belgian occupationr
 Factories, coke ovens, mines ana iron and steel mills will require con siderable preliminary work before they can resume anything like pre- occupation production
 In other words, the German Su- thorities feel that Paris has no right to expect that she can escape the consequences of her own action in invading the Ruhr.
 O O O
 France Is Blamed.
 Germany feels that France stopped the Ruhr's production and that France and Belgium are responsible for the disorganized industrial ana transportation systems of the great German productive area. Until or Ranization can be brought out of this chaos France and Belgium cannot get the deliveries of products prom ised them by the treaty of Versailles ard covering documents.
 If will be remembered that short ages in the deliveries of coal, timber and other products. was one of the reasons the Franco-Belgians went into the basin.
 At the time Germany held 1t was impossible for her to produce the amounts she had promised.
 Now. with the productive ma chinery of the Ruhr totally disor- ganized, Germany does not see now she can resume even the scale or delivery she was carrying out before the Ruhr occupation.
 The government anticipates that France will demand the full quanti- ties stipulated in the peace docu- ments, and it does not see how Ger many can fulfill her promises.

COOLIDGE I AXE $ INTEREST IN GRAIN GROWERS PLIGHT
President, Hoover And Wal lace Put Heads Together
 To Find Solution
By THOMAS l.. STOKES (Ry Leased Wire To Age-Heraldl

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s-The pill grlmage to the capital of a little group of bankers and farmers from the northwest. regarded at first as rather a futile effort has resulted after two days of conferences with administration officials in stirring the government to take definite ac- tiou for relief in the wheat growing states.
 The pilgrims came demanding an extra session of Congress to revive the United States Grain corporation.
 While they will not get that, they will return to the northwest, carry ing very definite assurances that all ing relief. They will leave with President Coolidge, Secretary of Ag- riculture Wallace and Secretary of Commerce Hoover joining heads in very serious effort bo formulate @ practical. workable plan for relief.
 Thus far, the principal remedy that has been offered is creation of a corporation to advise farmers of home and foreign markets, and how much production will be necessary to meet them, built along the lines Of the United States Grain corporation. without the price fixing feature which Secretary Wallace regards as dangerous.
 Remedy Is Sought.
 While details of such a scheme have not been worked out, it shows the general disposition to meet the need for permanent remedy for ag- ricultural distress by reducing acre. age and crop diverslfication and is in line with Secretary Wallace's ad- vice after recent study of the entire wheat situation.
 The availability of credits for the farmer was shown to the visitors Friday afternoon in their conference with Eugene Meyer, Jr., director of the War Finance corporation, who presented figures showing that more than one-third of the banks to which the corporation has made loans for agricultural purposes are located in North and South DakoCta, Minnesot and Montana, and that loans in these states through the War Finance cor poration were $1,O00,000 more than made there by the federal reserve board.
 group to take up with the State Bankers associations the reduction of interest rates to the farmers Of the country. He pointed out that the rates paid for deposits by many Of the state banks are so high that they determine a burdensome level of rates for loans to farmers.
 The bankers and farmers will con fer with the United States tariff commission Saturday morning for a discussion of the effect of the tarifr on wheat prices. This will close their visit here.
