POPE DEPLORES
PROSECUTIONS

VATICAN CITY,-Pope Plus, in
an open letter to Cardinal Pompii,
today cried out against religious
prosecutions in Russia and deplor-
ed what he described as the neg
lect of the nations to take con-
certed action in representing to
that country the enormity of its
sacrilege.
The letter intended for world
dissemination, stigmatized the
League of militant goddess" in
Russia, saying they "dissimulate
moral, cultural and even eco
nomic d~ecadency with agitation as
sterile as it is inhuman-"
Pope Plus deplored not only
physical violence to bishops,
priests and laymen but organ
lied efforts in Russia to under
mine religion by burning hundreds
of churches, %suppressing Sundays,
forcing government employs to
sign declarations of apostasy and
hatred toward God, public sacri-
leges such as mock religious pro-
ecedings, and disrespect toward
religious symbols.
Besides recommending the
Russian people to the protection
of St. Therese of the Infant Jesus,
the pope recalled his d%eploration
of such exercises in consistorial al
Iocutions and in the recent n
cyclical on education
He mentioned his creation Of a
special commission for Russia,
with Cardinal Sincere presiding,
and the granting of indulgence for
recital of the ejaculation Savior
of the World, Save Russia"

GIVES RADIO TALK

Washington-In connection with
the national program which was car
ried out this week in observance of
the t~wenty-ffth anniversary Of the
U. S. Forest Service, Congressman
Scott Leavitt of Montana gave two
talks, one before the House Of Rep
resentatives and one over the radio
network Of the National Broadcast
ing company, both addresses being
commendatory Of the work Of the
Forest Service.
Congressman Leavitt served as a
ranger in the early days when the
forest service was in its infancy and
has had the opportunity Of watching
it's growth. His radio talk was given
in the auditorium of the National
Museum, in Washington, and was
broadcast over a national network
and locally by WRC. Among other
things Mr.. Leavitt said:
"The enactment Of required basic
statutes is nearing completion. The
Clarke McNary Act for the extern
ion Of forests and reforestation or de-
udued areas; the McNary-W Woodruff
Act authorizing funds for the further
purchase of lands for the protection
Of watersheds; and the Insolvency.
McNary Act setting under way Of
a broader program of research, will
be supplemented by the Englebright
bill for a more definite program of
development and protection. But
the victory is not yet complete. The
program thus formed must be con-
sidered a fixed and determined nation
al policy. In the budgeting of funds,
the required sums to make it fully
effective must be considered obligated
and inviolable, to pay the debt we
owe to posterity to maintain and
transmit in full the strength and nat
ural of our country.

FARMERS WELCOME
MckELVlE SPEECH:
APPROVE PLAN
Farm Board Member Speaks
Plainly of Marketing Plans;
Didn't Paint Rosy Picture

The 600 or 700 farmers who heard
Nh. McKelvie, Farm Board Member,
talk at Williston Friday and those
who heard him over the radio appar-
emily feel satisfied that there is moth
ing but plain common sense in the
way the Farm Board is tackling the
agricultural problem.
Answers Questions
In another column is given a SYM
opsis Of Mr.. McKelvies speech, a copy
Of which he gave to a Herald repre-
sentative at Williston Friday
At the close Of his talk Mr.. Nc
Kelvie informed his audience that he
would be pleased to further explain
any part Of the plan which the far
mers cared to ask him about and he
remained on the platform until all
yer satisfied.
Tells Interest Rate
In answer to one question Mr.. Nc
Kelvie stated that the loans to the
National cooperative by the Farm
Board were made at the lowest rate
which the U. S. treasury was making
any loans at that time.
The first loan made by the Farm
Board was 2 IL per cent interest
Only one was made at as high a rate
as 3 IL per cent, although the Ag-
ricultural Marketing Act will permit
of a rate of 4 epr cent.
Buying on Exchange
The speaker stated that when the
National Grain Corporation bought
wheat on the exchange it was donk
so only to protect grain thrown or
the market by farmers c~o-operatives
and to prevent it from selling at Less
than the present loan value set by the
Farm Board.
Financing Storage
MI. McKelvie, in answer to a third
question as to whether the Farm
Board loaned money to c~o-operatives
to build elevators ard storage IA
c~ilities, said positively, yes"
He also stated that the Farm Board
would not loan money to institutions
which had become hopelessly involv-
ed in debt. "Our idea is to loan
money to co-operatives which show
that they are capable Of running their
business in a business-like way"
Opposes Milling in-B Bond
In answer to another question Mr..
McKelvie stated that there was no
doubt that the milling in bond fea-
ture of the tariff did tend to hold
down prices for the hard spring
wheat of the Northwest. He thought
that feature of the tariff act should
be eliminated.

FIVE-POWER PACT
CURTAILS SUBS;
NATIONS PLEASED
Powers Rule Craft Must OBJ
serve Laws of Surface Co.
ing Vessels

LONDON-History was made
Tuesday at the fve-power naval con-
ference. Several hours after a pie
nary session devoted to discussion of
submarines, Secretary of State Slim
son announced that the powers had
agreed definitely to subject submar-
ines to all rules governing surface
warship operations against merchant
vessels.
1t was inferred that Britain and
the United States would not press
their fight to abolish submarines at
the present conference. Mr.. Slim
on added:
II think the debate showed a ris-
ing tide in the desire on the part Of
the nations for eventual abolition of
that weapon Of warfare and marks
a step in that direction"
The chief American delegate ap-
peared jubilant over the decision to
restrict submarine warfare. So far as
known, it was the first fve-powef
agreement reached at the conference.
which opened three weeks ago.
Highly Pleased
II regard that single incident as
worth the visit of our delegation to
London" Stimson said. ut marks a
step forward in a matter our country
once went to war about l am very
much pleased that a motion to re-
strict the use of submarines against
merchant ships came from the French
delegation. l think it a very happy
augury of the leadership of Premier
Tardieu."
