THE FARM PROBLEM AGAIN
IN this day when big business

in this day when big business
: lords it over the cities, good
many eyes have turned toward
big farming as the. ultimate So
luton of the farm problem. Some
have hoped that agriculture, run
a the corporation or chain sys-
TEN, would pull out of range of the
bombardment of difficulties which
sssail it today.
So far, the results of large
scale farming do not give much
support to this hope. According
to report given out by the agri-
cultural service department of the
United States Chamber of Com
nerce, large farms have proved
neither more or less profitable
than Individual farms. The report
goes on to say,
Furthermore, there are fully as
great variations in efficiency
among large farms as have been
found in numerous surveys of fam
ily farms. It appears, then, that
mere Incorporation of organization
d farming enterprises on a large
scale will not automatically solve
the problems of the agricultural
industry"
Whatever the financial outcome
Of such a corporation trend, it
would be attended by social dis
adVantages which might outweigh
my possible monetary gain. 1t is
ne ownership of the soil by the
man who tills it that has saved
america from the curse of Europe
u dependent peasant class. When
ne American farmer becomes a
Jay laborer he will lose the quail
NY which has won for him the
name Backbone of the nation"

A HOME NURSE

A LONG record of outstanding
and successful work is good
recommendation for any applicant.
Such record stands behind Lu
ellie A. Withers, who is seeking
an appointment as county nurse in
Benton County.
For IL years Miss Witners did
nursing work under difficult con-
ditions in China. For three years
she was county health nurse in
Walla Walla county, she supervised
Red Cross work in Kanas for two
years, and for the past two years
she has been county health nurse
in the southern district of Nevada
Her wide experience, in our OPP
inion, fits her for the position now
open in our county, which is her
home. She is indorsed by DR..
Spaulding, Mr.. Moulton, DR.. Cole
and the Grange.
We would like to see Miss With
ers, former resident of Kenne-
wick who knows conditions here
well, appointed county health
nurse. We feel that with her COM
petence and experience, she would
fit the place.

FINDINGS SIGNED
President Completes Work
With Commission With
French Settlement.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
| President Hoover laid aside today a
task he began working upon seven years
ago as a member of the World War
Foreign Debt Funding Commission.
In affixing his signature to the French
debt settlement the Chief Executive had
the satisfaction of bestowing the
formal approval of the country upon
the last settlement of those worked out
by the commission for funding the in
debtedness of l3 nations. Under them
the United States will receive $l3,000,-
600 900.
That of France included not only
funds loaned. that country during the
World War but many millions of dollars
of surplus war materials were sold to
her after the conflict ended. The total
to be paid by that country over a g.
year period is $6,847 ,674. .104, of which
$2,822, ,674,10 will be paid as interest.
Greek Compromise UncOmpleted.
Just before President Hoover came
into Office, arrangements were made to
compromise the Greek war debt, fund
ing of which had not been completed
with the commission expired in 1927.
-Four other countries have not COM
pleted settlements Russia diSavowed
the debt contracted by the cZariStic re-
gime. Austria was granted morato-
rum until 1943. A Liberian debt of
$4,000 is still on the Treasury books,
and the Armenian government, which
owed this country, is no longer in exist
ence.

DREYFUS QUIZ PLEA
MAY Be REJECTED
Officials Say Affidavits Fur
nished by Relatives Fail
to Justify Probe.

Indications today were that no grand
jury investigation would be undertaken
to determine whether there was foul
play in the death october 20 of Mrs.
Aurelia Fischer Dreyfus, attractive
young divorce, in plunge from bal
cony at the Potomac Boat Club.
While United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover has been checking information
contained in series of aff1davits turn
ed over to him by relatives Of Mrs.
DreyfuS, the opinion of numerous Of
ficials questioned was that the affidavits
failed to justify a grand jury investi-
CATION. Rover revealed he soon would
make a definite announcement concern
ing the requested probe.
Morgan Has Statements.
Meanwhile, Lieut.. Joseph Morgan
chief of the homicide squad, disclosed
today for the first time that he had
series of signed statements in his pos
session made shortly after the tragedy
which contained no reference to the
reported finding Of finger marks on the
throat of Mrs. DreyfuS.
Detective Sergt. Joseph Waldror
questioned all uf Mrs. Dreytns' relatives
who knew anything about the case, Doth
on the day she died and some four days
later" Morgan declared. "At no time
during these talks or later did any 1ela-
tive of Mrs. Drcyfus tell us they found
finger marks or bruises on her neck
If there had been any bruises they sure
ly would have oeen found by the coro-
ner when an autopsy was performed"
Telling of the police investigation
Morgan added: Every single bit of in
formation we obtained pointed to an
accidental death. can't see now there
could have been the slightest possibu-
ity of murder. We found a young
couple who were on the porch when
Mrs. Dreyfus fell. There was only one
door through which any one who might
have pushed her could have passed and
the couple insist nobody walked or ran
by them to this door"
Morgan expressed confidence that Ed
mund j. McBrian, New York broker
was telling the truth when he said he
had gone after his hat and on returning
found Mrs. Dreyfus had fallen to hel
death.
McBrian, taken into custody shortly
after the tragedy, was held until a
coroner's jury decided her death was
an accident.
Brands Affair as Ridiculous"
DR. Joseph Rogers, deputy coroner,
recalled today that he performed the
autopsy on the body of Mrs. Dreyfus
He said any finger marks or bruises
would have been visible to him in his
examination of the body the day after
Mrs. Dreyfus' death. II didn't find any
finger marks whatsoever on her neck.
The woman had been dead so long that
they couldn't have developed later"
The affidavits turned over to Rover
are said to charge that finger marks had
been found on Mrs Dreyfus' throat by
relatives. 1t also was said that relatives
believed the woman might have been
killed because she knew too much"
about the murder of Dot King, Broad
way butterfly" in New York several
years ago.
Morgan asserted that "a New York
man came to see him about
the case.
II understand he drew up these new
affidavits for the relatives and I think
the whole thing is ridiculous" he said.

Background of Deals Given.
In denying that the Smith company
was connected with other enterprises
as charged by Gardiner, Anadale in
troduced the names of several promi-
nent Washington business men. He as
serted that the properties named by
the plaintiffs are controlled as follows
THE Jefferson Apartment was owned
and controlled by New York interests,
the Hamilton Hotel was owned and con-
trolled by New York and Washington
interests, the Cavalier Apartments, for
merly known as Hilltop Manor, was
owned and controlled by Hilltop Manor
Co, of which company Morris Cafrtiz
of Washington was president: Charles
II. Goldsmith of Washington. vice pres
ident: Harry M. Crandal of Washing
ton, treasurer. and Frederick M. Pelz-
man of Washington. secretary. The
Corcoran Courts was owned by Corcoran
Courts Corporation, the president Of
which was Morris CaftritZ of Washing
ton, who also personally guaranteed the
first mortgage bonds: the Investment
Building was owned by New York in
tereSts; the Smith Building was owned
by the F. H. Smith Building Corpora
tion, the entire stock of which was
owned by the F. H. Smith Investment
Co.; the Tivoli Apartments was owned
and controlled by the Tivoli Construc-
tion Co.. of which Fred H. Gore Of
Washington was president the Vermont
Building was owned and controlled by

and treasurer, all of Washington and
the New Amsterdam. originally Wash
ington Hall Apartments, was owned and
controlled by Hartland Apartment Co.,
the president of which was Howard M
Etchison, and Mr.. Etchison also per-
Sonally guaranteed the first mortgage
bond issue"
He also said that the defendant, the
F.. H. Smith Co., does not now own any
of the aforementioned property.
In denying that the Smith company
ever paid excessive attorneys fees, An
adale in his affiavit pointed out that
on one occasion Mr.. Gardiner, the
plaintiffs counsel, submitted bill to
the Smith company for $4,000 for legal
services. This bill was regarded as eX-
orbitant and excessive, he said, and was
settled for $4,000.

are favorable not alone to limitation
of naval armament, but to actual re-
duction of armament. That being the
case, even though the positions of the
two governments present points of diff
ference, the feeling exists that there is
good prospect OF agreement between the
two when the delegates gather about
the conference table in London.
Japan Wants Submarines.
At the present time, the main points
of difference lie in the japanese request
for 20 per cent of the 10000 cruiser
tonnage, which may. be fixed for the
United States, and the insiStence OF the
Japanese upon a strong submarine fleet
of approximately 10000 tons.
There are indications, however, that
the Japanese will not make 70 per cent
OF the 10,000-ton cruiser tonnage of the
United States an inSurmountable diff
Guilty at the London Conference. This,
it is said, has developed already at the
informal conversations which have
taken place here. Preliminary conver-
sations between the United States and
Britain have brought tentative agree
ment that the United States should
have not less than 1S 10nn0-tan
cruisers and perhaps 81, and that
Britain was to have Is, with a larger
tonnage Of smaller cruisers. If Japan
should insist upon 70 per cent of the
tonnage of 10,000-ton cruisers fixed for
the United States, 1t might give her as
many of these large cruisers rs Great
Britain. That Great Britain would
agree to such proposition Is not. be-
lieved to be probable. 1t is expected,
however, that 1t will be possible to adj
inst the cruiser problem
The Japanese have made 1t clear that
they place great reliance on the sub
marine as defensive weapon for the
protection of Japanese coasts. Japan
now has and Is building a total OF II
submarines, with a tonnage of 78.497
in the aggregate. 1t is understood that
she does not wish TO cut this tonnage
OF submarines and that in order to
maintain it, she will be willing TO cut
her destroyer and cruiser tonnage
somewhat.
British Oppose Submarines.
The United States has a total Of 1i3
submarines, whose aggregate tonnage is
1882. Great Britain has SO Subma-
rines, with tonnage of 72,521.
France has 90 undersea craft, with
total tonnage of 90,098, while Italy
has so submarines, with tonnage OF
36,925. The adjustment of the subna-
rine question pronlisess under these con-
ditions, to be one of the I11s9or r. "blems
at tha IONkian coYference. Tf SatmsitiSh
