GERMAN AGRARlAN
POLICY is STATED
Minister of Agriculture Plans
Growing of Wheat for Home
Use Only.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, February 25.-Germany in
the future will concentrate on produc-
ton of wheat for home consumption
as one of the cardinal tenets of the
national agrarian policy, Martin Schi-
ele, Minister of agriculture, told the
Reichstag at the opening OF debate on
his departments budget.
During the past year and a hall"
he said, half million hectares (about
l 500 900 acres) previously cultivated in
Winter rye have been withdrawn from
that product and $4,000 hectares of
the total has been planted to Winter
wheat"
He explained since the condition Of
the world market does not permit eX-
portation of Germany's agriculture sur
plus, the Nation must change the char
acter of her products. Besides placing
more wheat under cultivation and cur
falling rye and oats, he said, Germany
must produce more barley and podded
grains.
Sugar must be used more extensive
ly for feed he said, to absorb overpro-
duction. Other measures for assisting
the farmer include exclusive use of
domestic lumber on public buildings and
houses built with the aid of government
loans and cheap interest rates on farm
ers' loans.
On behalf Of the government he asked
blanket authority for the cabinet to TX
tariff without seeking approval OF the
"The government has decided" he
said, ito ask the Reichstag for free
hand in the realm of tariff, to be able
to attune Germany's economic Situa-
ton quickly to changing conditions IN
the world market"

PREHISTORIC
 TOWN FOUND

London.-A historic village revealing the habitations of resi- dents in Shetland in a very remote age has just come to light dur excavations, under the direction of Alexander o. Curle, C.V.O., F.S.A.. at the ruins of Jarlshof. near Sum burgh Head, in the Isle of Shet- land.
 The discoveries promise to be of the greatest importance and al- ready there have been unearthed an ancient Broch-dry-built cir cular towers-of which there are some 400. or 500. in northern Scot land. They were originally built during the first three centuries of the Christian era as places of ref uge. The particular Broch that has been found is SO old that only half remains, the other half having suffered through sea erosion.
 The average diameter at the base is 60 feet. The walls are hol- low and at the bottom are 15 feet thick, while they vary In length from 28 to 34 feet. Some of the best preserved specimens are to be found in the Island of Mousa. Shetland.

EROSION LOSSES
 NEW HAZARD

Columbia, Mo. - The United States may eventually be forced to- ward conditions that exist in some of the barren parts of China. where, every year, devastating floods take thousands of lives. tn the opinion of Dr M. NJ. Ellis of the biological department Of the University of Missouri.
 Dr Ellis recently returned rom an inspection trip over the inland waterways system of the United States. He accompanied Lewis Radcliffe, deputy commissioner or the U. s. bureau of fisheries on the tour.
 Road Improvements. cultivation of land, and deforestation are given by Dr Ellis as reasons for the losses from soil erosion. He estimates that eth United states loses yearly from $2,0OO. 100000 to $4, ,0O0, 900. 900 from that source.
 ''It takes nature 400 years 10 add one inch of soil. In some places that amount is being washed away by erosion In from one to seven years" he said. "rhe study of conditions in the valleys of the Mississippi. Tennessee and ohio rivers shows that the prob lem has become more acute within the last fe wycars as result or crosion from deforested areas. from road Improvements and from cultivated lands"

New York, Nov 3O.-Forces of recovery from the depression are already under way, according to Paul Mazur, well known economist and banker of New York.
 In his new book New Roads to Prosperity: The Crisis and the Way Out" to be published early in De- cember, Mir Mazur will state his definite belief that unless some untoward event like physical dis aster or a radical social upheaval or complete loss of faith In the banks intervenes, 1892 seems des- tined to be year of convalescence of the world back to the 1926-27 status of reasonably good business.
 "The devaluation of the English pound may very we'll prove to be the last dramatic act of the defla- ton phase of the present cyclical depression" MT Mazur's next book will say. "The artificial support of the gold standard of sterling was the most striking anomaly of the second half of 1881, and almost immediately favorable effects were noted when England departed from a gold basis"
 That America may follow Eng lands example is possibility which Is not as fantastic as 1t might seem in view of the large gold sup plies of the country, according to MT Mazur. "The depreciation of European exchanges" Mir Mazur's book will say, threatens America with the loss of foreign markets and with increased competition in domestic markets. America might seek to ensure her competitive po- sition against foreign exports by following England's example and abandoning the gold standard of exchange.
 "Historically," he cintinues "cheap money always has sought successful exchange for more ex- | pensive money. If substantial portion of the world should depart from gold basis, there would be set on foot decided movement to exchange largesums of fiat money for American gold. Moreover, since countries with depreciated currency would have increased attractiveness as markets for world buyers, the actual exports of America migh, decline; imports would then in- crease and the resulting adverse balance would create drain on the gold of the United States. This would be particularly true if efforts within America to reduce costs through increased efficiency were not sufficiently successful and fl wage reductions were met with in- creasing and effective resistance from labor.
 "There are many who gauge the security and wealth of this country by the gold reserves within the vaults of the central banks. Ser ious inroads upon these reserves sue has were just described woluld unquestionably call forth some pro-

 Though a prominent banker, MT Mazur does not deal gently with capitalism. Capitalism" his new book will say, "is guilty of allowing itself to grow up like Topsy-with- out order, without control, without regulation. There has been no inc telliSent allocation of capital, no establishment of funda m e n t a forces of control; in fact, it Is the brutal truth that in this respect there has been no evidence of any understanding of the importance of foresight and concerted action" However, MT Mazur believes that "unquestionably, we shall muddle out of the mess somehow, if polit- ical leadership does not interfere too stupidly with the action of the economic forces involved"

Washington, Nov 30-(UP)- One of the permanent and inscrut- able mysteries of Washington is why all presidents seem to be un- popular during their terms of office here.
 They may be heroes to the na- tion at large, but generally speak ing they are just something to be endured for a few years so far as Washingtonians go. This is prob ably the one city In the country where the presidents picture on a movie screen does not evoke ap- plause.
 President Hover is no exception. and 1t Is interesting in his case to note a certain nostalgia when peo- pie recall the reign of Calvin Cool idge. They comment with infre- quency on MT Coolidge's humor. contrasting him with Mir Hoover. And as a matter of fact, some of the Coolidge jokes in retrospect look pretty good.
 There was the time when some- one gave the White House a fe- male raccoon named Rebecca. The event was duly chronicled in the press. Then one day it appeared that Rebecca craved male society. A robust he reccoon was procured and introduced to her. No name was announced for him. so the re- porters decided to call him Horace. One day in press conference Coolidge remarked in his dry nasal twang:
 "Yew boys have been writing quite a bit about this raccoon, and calling him Horace. His names not Horace"
 Tho "boys" waited expectantly to learn the correct name, but Cool idge only preserved a solemn ex- pression and said no more. It was beer that determined how one new House member would vote in the hotly contested race for republican floor leader between Representatives John Q. Tilson, Connecticut, and Bertrand H. Shell, New York.
 This newcomer, who is from Pennsylvania, arose in the delega- tons caucus. and told his col leagues with that frankness that | fedgling congressman sometimes employ that he would vote for Til. son because the latter favored modification to permit beer. Tilson explained afterward that he had merely pointed out to the new member that he had voted against the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act. Tilson Is re. garded as wet in sympathy. but re. fuses to commit himself publicly.
 Previously, according to the story, the member had been to sec Shell, who Is dry. He left the caucus before 1t was over. leaving his proxy, presumably because he got tired of the wrangling of a po- litical meeting. He is business man and new to politics.

The Spirit of Truthfulness" has invaded police circles, but whether the anticipated influence will be exerted is a matter of opinion, if not doubt. Some unkind critics see in the incident irony either for the cops or visitors.
 A large photo of George Wash ington was placed in a most con- spicuous place in police headquar- ters to-day, just to the left of the main desk. Members of the morn- ing and afternoon platoons ex- changed glances after spotting the picture this noon hour. It was later unofficially reported that six persons walked into headquarters during the morning all prepared to challenge the right of the po- lice for tagging their machines When they observed the likeness of the Father of their Country and recalled the cherry tree incident one by one they apologized for violating the parking law and paid the customary $2.
 An effort was made later in the day to ambush Commissioner Har- ry Minor in the immediate vicin- ity of the picture for an interview on the appointment of the new captain. The alert commissioner took a detour.
