FARM DEPRESSION
 MENACES FRANCE
30 to 35 Per Cent Decline in
 Production Reported

i Paris, Dec. 15 LPs-French farm
 "rs are worried over a fall of 30 to i 55 per cent In all farm products i since last May.
 i NJ. Pierre de Monicault. member of the chamber of deputies and re garded in France as speaking with greater authority on farm affairs
 than any other man in public life. declares the reduction has brought about destructive crisis in French agriculture.
 Tt has resulted" he says, fin an intense movement from the farm
 to town. The number Of farms for
 sal" increase daily. The best farmers, those who have been more
 or less successful in the past, are
 the ones who are abandoning their fields to seek q happier fortune in
 the city"
 While he planes failure Of lower production costs to accompany the fall in agricultural produce as the immediate cause Of the present crisis, NJ. de Monicault attaches considera hln responsibility to the
 lack of suitable farm credits. Industrial enterprises obtaining capital though issuance Of stock are not required 10 pay until inc undertaking is profitable, whereas
 the farmer who gets credit must
 pay when his crop is gathered, re-

Bingham points out that the fed eral government has not paid any interest on it's debt to Connecticut, and therefor now makes a claim for the interest due to it.
 In order to have this claim paid. congress must adopt resolution di- rectlng re-accounting. The comp troller general must report on his findings In the re-accounting. and then congress must appropriate the
 money 10 pay the claim.
 Under the Maryland rule, interest is computed to the time of payment. The payment applies first to the in terest. and then in reduction Of prin- cipal. Thereupon interest is again computed upon the lessened princi- pal, but interest is not compounded.

 "EnVoy Of Peace"

Mexico City, Dec Is (UP)--"Sure- ly the United States sent Lindhergh 10 bring about still frmer spiritual and material approChement between our countries; and l expect immedi- ate and positive results,' said Presi- dent Gales in a statement on the arrival of the American aerial am- bassador.
 "Iindbergh's completion Of his admirable flight from Washington constitutes, in my opinion. an ac- complishmcnt not inferior in tech nique to that of flying from New York 10 Paris" President Gales continued.
 'The last stage of his flight proved his exceptional knowledge of aerial navigation-when he flew over ter ritory entirely unknown, over zones especially difficult and dangerous because of lack Of communication, and when he deviated over the states of Guanajuato and MichoaCan.
 "Only Lindbergh's marvellous determination and energy kept him from landing, and made it possible for him to maintain his original in tention so gallantly accomplished, of reaching Mexico City in a nonstop flight.
 "Citizens Of Mexico know how ap- preciatively to value this unique decd.
 'The delirious enthusiasm with which Lindbergh was received; the popular homage that will be paid to him during his stay: and the anxiety felt by the multitudes at Valbuena flying field when it was feared ho had suffered an accident are the best proofs of the interest and affection which the Mexican people felt for his brilliant flight
 But Lindberghs flight not only was stellar event in aviation tech nically. It may be considered above all the most valuable mission Of good will eyer sent us by the people of the United States.
 Surely in sending us this greatest representative of it's youth. this rep resentatlve of it's will and herois1n, the United States intended to bring about a still tirmer spiritual and ma- terial rapprochement between our countries.
 If l interpret correctly the sig niticance of this flight, I can assure the people Of the United States that It's results from the viewpoint I have
