LONDON, Jan. 23.-IThe first act
Of the Macdonald government, even
before it was quite formally in of

Of the rail strike.
While government of Great Brit

representatives, of its laboring class,
every effort was being bent to bring
to an end the slowly spreading in
dustrial paralysis of the transporta-
ton tie-up.
Men chosen by Premier Ramsay
Macdonald for the nations first

firing predecessors, the Conserva-
tives, showed them "the ropes -
before leaving.
Arthur Henderson already has as
sumo dhis duties as home secretary,
although Il seat in Commons must
be found for him before he can be
officially given the seals of office.
The British spirit of fair play is
manifesting Itself in the pubnc and

COOLIDGE ACTS TO SAVE FARMER
Wheat Crisis Is
Cause of Plan
To Render Aid
by United Press Leased Wire


WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.--Presi-
dent Coolidge today sent congress
Il special message on the acute sit
uation he said exists in the wheat
growing sections of the northwest.
''The economic situation in GER
tain whe&t growing sections of the
northwest is reaching an acute
stage that requires organized co
operation on the part of the fed
eral government and the local ms
titutions of that territory for It's
solution,' the president said.
Mr.. Coolidge recommended as
remedial measures:
l. Refunding of "the pressing
past due indebtedness of the farmer
i'll the territories most seriously af.
fccted.'
:. Financial assistance through !,
federal agency to enable wheat
farmers to make change from a
single crop system to a diversified
farming.
). Restoration, wherever it
would be helpful, OF the impaired
capital of banking institutions in the
distressed sections.o
4. Creation by private capital of
a substantial financing corporation
to assist in the plan of bank reor'
ganization.
5. Extension until December 81,
1924, of the power Of the war fl
nance corporation to make loans.
This power expires March 81.
The president pointed out some ar
rangement must be made that will
insure money loaned by the govern
ment reaching the farmers and not
being swallowed up Immediately by
their creditors, the banks.
He urged business in the region
affected, including merchant insur-
ance companies and the like to CO.
operate in every way to help the
farmer.
Farmers Are Broke
"Great numbers of individual
farmers are so involved in debt both
on mortgages and to merchants and
banks that they are unable to pre-
serve the equity of their proper
ties,' he declared.
"Not only have there been large
numbers of foreclosures on actual
farms but there are great numbers
of farmers who are continuing in
possession of suffrance from their
creditors. There have been large
and increasing bank failures. Bills
have been introduced providing for
the lending by the federal govern
ment of monies directlyto the farm
of their farms on the basis of diver
sified farming.
81 am heartily III favor of these
bills but they do not and will not
compass the entire problem.
"Many of the farmers, are, how
ever, in such jeopardy from their
creditors that even with this assist
ance there is no assurance that they
would have a sufficient period in
which to work out the necessary
conversion of therr methods and 1t
would be useless to give 10 this
group such governmental assistance
if it is to be only for purposes ct
immediate seizure by the creditors.
"Such legislation therefore will
be of little avail unless arrange
ments have been effected between
the farmer and his creditors by the
funding of past due Indebtedness
and interest or by similar means Sc
that the loan will insure the benefit
of the farmer himself, instead of
merely to the benefit of his credi
