BOLIVIA ORDERS
DELEGATE BACK
CONFERENCE
Hopes of Averting Paraguay.
Bolivia War Are Raised
by Action

Washington, Dec. 12.-(AP)-The
Bolivian minister advised Secretary
Kellogg today that his country
would continue to participate in the
Pan American conference on arbitra-
ton and conciliation now in session
here.
Instructions from the La Paz
government have been sent to Bo-
livian Minister De Medina, directing
him to re-enter the conference of
arbitration and conciliation and he
expected to receive them before
night. The move of the home gov
ernment was coincident with sug-
gestions by the state department
during last night that Bolivia's in
terests would be best served by at
tendance upon the conference and
that it might be advisable to revise
it's attitude toward efforts under
way to conciliate the dispute with
Paraguay.
Kellogg Discusses Situation
The suggestions were given the
Bolivian government through Ameri-
can Minister Kaufman at La Paz
after Secretary Kellogg had dis
cussed the situation with Minister
Medina.
Clashed on Frontier
The spark in the present quarrel
between the two countries was a
clash on the frontier between Para
guayan and Bolivian troops last
week but the powder mine already
laid was a long standing dispute
over a tract of land called Chaco
Boreal. It contains 100000 square
miles. Above grou.Si is a jungle
filled with virgin Ymber. Under
meath is oil.
Then, too, Bolivia's desire for ac-
cess to the sea enters into the dis
pute, since a river, the Paraguay,
navigable for ocean vessels runs
along the boundary of Chaco Boreal.
Paraguay contends that she owns
Chaco Boreal and that she is alone
privileged to use the stretch of the
Paraguay river for commerce. Bo-
livia contends the claim.

DICKINSON ASKS
HO0VERS FARM
PLANS SUPPORT
Iowa Agricultural Leader Sees
No Hope for Equalization
Fee
FARM LAWS MUST WAIT
Legislation and Tariff Revi-
sion Should Be Prepared
for Action
FARM LAWS MUST WAIT

Chicago, Dec. 12.-(P)-L. ]. Dick
inson of Iowa, mid-western agricul-
tural leader and staunch supporter
of Herbert Hoover during the recent
campaign, today urged the American
farmer to lay aside his hopes for an
equalization fee arrangement for
farm relief, and to give full support
to the president-elect's program for
agriculture.
The Iowa legislator, speaking be-
fore the annual convention Of the
American Farm Bureau federation,
said the farmers were justified in
the conclusion that special session
of congress would be called to carry
out prediction pledges and that
agricultural relief legislation should
await the action Of the special ses-
sion.
Mr.. Dickinson reviewed the rec
ommendation for farm relief made
by Mr.. Hoover during the campaign
and contrasted the president-elect's
proposals with the recommendations
made by President Coolidge in his
recent message to congress.
Wait for Hoover
"In the light of these commit
ments," Mr.. Dickinson said. ut is
lmy belief and also the conviction of
many of those interested that farm
legislation should await the inaug-
uration of the incoming president.
"The recommendation do not con-
tain all of the provisions that many
believe essential to make legislation
fully effective. However, the equal
ization fee provision Of the old bill
has met most serious objections from
able and sincere friends Of the cause.
"In so far as stabilization Of the
price can be procured by bargaining
power, storage and marketing ma
chinery. the recommendations seem
adequate. There can be no question
but that in many instances it would
be most effective. It seems but rea-
sonable that all friends Of agricul-
ture should therefore join in the de-
mand that the recommendations be
enacted into law and given a full
and fair trial.
Is Not Surrender
"This is not surrender of any OF
the principles that many Of US have
supported. It is an honest expert
ment that will prove one Of two con-
clusions. Either that the equaliza-
tion fee provision is not an essential
part of the law-or the lack of such
provision will become apparent, and
the need supplied by amendment
adding either the equalization fee
provision or such other provision as
q substitute therefor as experience
has shown essential"
Mr.. Dickinson said farm legisla-
ton and tariff revision should be
prepared for early action in the spe-
cial session and that on general prin-
ciples it was the splain duty" of an
outgoing president to leave all policy
fixing legislation to his successor for
the "'incoming official is entitled to
an unobstructed field"
