INDUSTRY IS GOAL
Federal Board Faces Gigantic
Task, With Wheat Prob
lem First.
BY JOHN F. SINCLAIR.

0pCCihl blophJCil W 4HC otoEs
NEW YORK, July l5.-The new
Federal Farm Board meets in Washing
ton today for the first time. It is not
yet complete. There is still one vacancy
the wheat representative. The board
has Immediately available $4,000, 900,
with $3.50, 000,0 900 later II 1t Is needed.
The first job of the board probably
will be wheat. The situation is far bet
ter than a month ago. Prices are
jumping. Wheat advanced more than
S cents a bushel last Saturday. The
Canadian crop prospects are much less
favorable than a month back. The Ca
madam estimate this year is only go
per cent of last years crop. Still the
world has on hand and in prospect
plenty of wheat.
The Texas crop is q bumper. The
port Of Galveston Is humming with
wheat shipments abroad, but wheat
prospects in the Northwest are not so
good. Still, It Is doubtful II the foreign
markets can absorb wheat any faster
than they are now doing.
In 30 days, with the harvest In full
blast, where will the wheat go? What
should be done with 1t? Store It?
Where? Terminal elevators and coun-
try elevators are already full. Where
then? In box cars?
Undoubtedly President Hoover Is
thoroughly familiar with all facts re-
garding wheat, as well as the other
staple farm products. Mr.. Hoover has
never been a champion Of Government
activity in private business.
But this Federal Farm Board organ
ICES today with the eyes OF the Nation
upon 1t. viii 1t succeed In stabilizing
agriculture? 1t is a tremendous task.
Everybody wishes 1t we'll in this new,
untried field of Government activity.
American-made motor cars cost from
so to 100 per cent more outside the
United States. A car selling for 81 900
in the United States sells in India for
81 .564, in Germany for $1.598, in Brazil
for 1860. in Japan for 1888. In Italy
for 1892, in Australia for $1,97S and
in Poland for $4,000.
The tariff in these countries makes
the big difference. In India the tarin
on a thousand dollar car is $245. while
the freight is $277. In Poland the
tariff on the same car is 1929 and the
freight Is 1921.
Says Col. Leonard p. Ayres of Cleve-
land, who compiled these figures: 1t
seems astonishing that. despite such
cost, the demand for our cars abroad
should be increasing with the vigor
and rapidity shown this year"
The colonel realizes that America
big job is to arrange. a plan whereby
payment for American cars and other
goods sold abroad can be met.
These debts will have to be paid in
goods or services. There is not enough
gold In the world to pay them. The
alternative seems to be either that the
United States become an importing ma
ton of goods or services or that the
debts be Cancelled or repudiated.
There are no short cuts to interna-
tional prosperity.

POLES HAVE DOUBTS
ON SHAW'S new PLAY
Literary and Political Leaders
Question the Propriety of apple
Cart a Recent Production.

WARSAW dP.-George Bernard
Shaw's play apple Cart" which had
its world premiere here. was received
by the Polish people with serious ques-
ton of its propriety. though it created
much interest and was attended by the
leading Polish literary and political
lights.
The play deals with an imaginary
conflict between the King of England
and Parliament in 1862 when America
offers to give up its independence and
become a dominion of the British En-
pire. The King understands that this
would mean that England would be
swallowed Immediately by the newer
country.
The King decides to abdicate and
run for a seat in Parliament, but the
prime minister withdraws demand
that the King resign the right of
veto. rather than see him as a COM
petitor in the House of Commons.
Shaw was not present at the pre-
miere. He is reported to have Sc
lected Warsaw for the opening be-
cause of interest here in things political.

Philippine CAVES
YIELD BURIAL JARS

MANILA R).-Scientists exploring
caves and old burial grounds in the
Philippines have been puzzled by huge
porcelain jars which they found in
some of the caves. Although skulls,
bones and other relics indicated that
thes jars had something to do with
burial rites, their size precluded their
use as containers OF food or water for
refreshment of the deceased in the
spirit world.
The mystery was solved recently
when one of the jars was unearthed
intact, containing the complete skele-
ton Of a man. The skeleton was In a
sitting position and further research
convinced the explorers that the an
Gent custom OF burying the dead In
jars was widespread throughout the
archipelago.
Some Of the jars showed indications
of having been made in China during
the Sung dynasty, which reigned there
from $50 to 1892 A. d. Others appar-
emily were Of domestic manufacture.
The Jars have been given to the Philip
pine Museum by Prof. II. otley Boyer,

ly the same number of shoes will be
made and sold in 1929 as in 1928, for
about 345,000,0 900 pairs, according to
authorities in the leather trade today.
This means that the outlook for the
tanners and leather men is far from
discouraging. 1t means that leather
and leather produced during the year
will approximate $4,000, 900 GOO In value.
Competent authorities whose bust
1t Is to keep hand on the pulse of the

MILLERAND SOUNDS
WARNING OF new WAR
Climaxes Dedication Address With
Statement That German Menace
Threatens Peace.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ALENCoN, France.-"stand up, you
dead! And tell the living Frenchman
of the new peril that menaces, ex-
claimed Alexander Millerand, ex-Presi-
dent of France, as he climaxed warm
ing of a new war with Germany. He
gave this in an address at the dedica-
ton of monument to the war dead OF
Perrou, a village near here.
Perrou is one Of those villages OF oio
men, children and women, where near
ly all the young men were killed IN the
war.
How the voice Of Foch would have
denounced the new pretenslons OF
Germany" said M. Millerand. In spite
of his protests we have seen all guar
antics of peace swept away. The
Rhine!and has not become the indie
pendent buffer state needed between
the two countries. And now the re-
sponsible voices of Germany have be-.
gun to preach openly the abrogation OF
those treaties which were TO have kept
peace for France.
How we could wish for durable
peace with Germany! But how can we
close our eyes to the evidence?
"You who died for France, iet us
hear your voices. Unite them with the
voice of the great chief who led you 10
victory"

four Buffalo policemen and two
Lackawanna detectives, had sur
rounded the Wunderlich home to ar
rest him on suspicion Of being impli-
Gated in a series of robberies.
Two of the officers covered the
rear Of the house while three others
went to the front door. the sixth
acting as their rear guard.
Invited to Enter
In response to their ring man
said to have been Wunderlich him
