The Carbon County news., 1931-07-30

1882 was formally submitted when
a delegation from Pennsylvania
outlined the advantages of the
city to Ser,stos. Fess of Ohio,
chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee. Mayor Mackey,
Senators Reed and Davis, Repre-
sentative Leech and number of
hotel and railroad men from Phil
adelphia supplied Mr.. Fess with
details. The visitors said that
when the National Committee de-
cided how much money would be
necessary, Philadelphia would be
prepared to meet the sum.
Condemning groups which he
contended are spreading "propa-
ganda" to injure the Federal Farm
Board, James c. Stone, chairman
of that agency, broadcast a de-
fense and justification for the
wheat policies of the board, coupl-
ed with an appeal that the nation
stand behind the Administrations
farm relief program. Mr.. Stone
denied that the boards policies
were to blame for the unprecedent-
ed low prices of wheat, contend
ing that the basic trouble was that
"for several years the world has
been producing more wheat that
it has been consuming" and added
that decreases in world produc-
tion must furnish the basis for
material improvement in world
wheat prices"
Chairman Stone agreed with the
view expressed by President Hoo
yer in letter to Senator Capper,
that considerable part' of the
price difficulties of Kansas wheat
farmers has been due to the "pres-
ent paralysis of the export mar
ket," arising from the economic
crisis in Central Europe. 'I be-
lieve that the restoration of Cen
tral Europe to stable basis by
the settlement of the pending
questions and an extension of cred
it necessarily would have an eff
feet on the sale of wheat" said
Mr.. Stone. Anything that will
restore Europe to a stable econom-
ic condition where she can become
a buyer of American goods will
help the wheat business in the
United States"
Charles G. Dawes, United States
Ambassador to Great Britain, sail
ed on the Mauretana last Thurs
day to resume his duties after a
brief vacation in Chicago and an
official visit to Washington. His
leave was shortened when Presi-
dent Hoover sent him to London
to attend the conferences or the
German financial crisis. The AM
bassador appeared much benefited
by his holiday. He wore very
light gray suit with narrow dark
stripe and a panama hat. He lit
his underslung pipe DIRECTLY he
boarded the liner and puffed hard
to keep it going while reporters
asked him questions in his suite.
Beyond admitting that he was
sailing for England sooner than he
had anticipated, the Ambassador
would not comment.
