BAREs FRENCH PLANS
Declares Great Reservoir Of

Dark Continent.

Williamstown-A declaration that
great dream Of supremacy in Africa
dominates French policy. that France,
by system OF slow absorption. is at
tempting to suppress the free Italian
nationality in Tunisia. Algeria and Mo-
rocco was made by Count Antonio Clip
pico. Italian Fascist senator. in q lee
ture at the institute OF politics. He
charged that France had failed to OBJ
serve her conventions with Italy re-
garding Tunisia and was trying to en-
force her moral supremacy upon the
world as Germany tried to enforce
"kultur."
"The formula Of the moral supe-
riority Of France is resented by many,
but It will perhaps be accepted by
some so long as France Is the most
formidably armed nation Of the con-
tinent Of Europe" he said.

FARM BUREAU FIGHTS
FREIGHT RATE BOOST
Crushing Menace to Industry
Seen in Move by Railroads for
One Hundred Eighty Million
Dollar Increase.

The Farm Bureau is mobiliz-
ing its forces in % western states
for one Of the most important
battles it has ever made in de-
Tense Of the general welfare of
the agricultural industry in this
area.
Seventy-three railroads of the
west have petitioned their re-
|spective state railroad commits
sions. asking them to cooperate
with the Interstate Commerce
Commission to the end Of secur-
ing for them an increase Of 11gc
in freight rates, which they
clean is necessary to bring them
a return on their investment Of
$40 as permitted under the
Transportation Act. 1t is claimed
that the roads fell short in the
territory affected to the extent
of $180,000.000 during the past
year. In other words it would re-
quire that much additional to re-
turn them $50.
The Farm Bureau considers
this a serious emergency and de-
mands immediate and energetic
action on the part of every unit
of the organization, lest midwest
agriculture find itself crushed
with this additional freight bur-
den.
The transportation director Of
the American Farm Bureau esti-
mates that this proposed increase
would add one hundred eighty
million dollars to the annual
freight bill paid by these %
states. OF this amount ninety
million would be paid directly by
farmers in shipping their produce
to market, and another large por-
ton of it would be paid by farm
ers in the price they pay for vari-
GUS shipped in" commodities.
Under the Hock-Smith resolu-
ton, passed by congress last win
ter, the interstate Commerce
commission was asked to make an
investigation to ascertain If the
rates now being charged by the
railroads are too high on agricul,
tural products. Ii is believed
that in anticipation Of this
opening of the rate subject, the
carriers have asked in advance
1 for this raise in rates.
| The Farm Bureau is firm in the
belief that agriculture is not able
under its present economic con
dition. to, survive the burden OF
the proposed added freight bill
without disastrous results, and
will therefore fight the proposal
to the last ditch to prevent its
accomplishment.

wear the frown OF age instead OF

choicest kraut and certain better
