PARIS, September l6.-Marshal Petain
told group of American and British
newspaper men today that when he
goes to the United States for the sas-
quicentennial celebration at Yorktown.
Va, he win do his best to convince the
American people there is no truth in
charges that France is imperialistic and
militariStic.
The marshal, called the Savior Of
Verdun' and still robust despite his 70
years, said he was chagrined to learn
of the views held by some Americans
concerning France.
IF France were bent on aggression, !"
he said, she would not concentrate on
building Notifications, but on casting
powerful guns and mighty sQuadrons of
airplanes. She Is doing neither of
these. Our cannon are all old wartime
guns, and our aviation Is weak-infl-
nitely weaker than that Of Italy and
Great Britain"

Our whole military activities are
dominated by thoughts Of defense"
Marshal Petain said. This was shown
In the recent air maneuvers, where
the game played was one of defense

The cause Of the World War, he
said. was q struggle for power and
hegemony between Germany and Eng

France wants merely to be left
alone and to be able to defend herself
against attack" he said.
IT fe indignant that any reasonable

an ambition to follow the hegemony

He said he was struck with the
energy, tenacity and absolute scorn Of
danger shown By American soldiers in
the World War" He would honor him.

DECISION ON WHEAT
SALESDUE TODAY
Farm Board to Rule on
"WaIIa WaIIa" Plan
for Relief.
Rr tle Associated rress.

BY the Associated Press.
The Farm Board planned to announce
its decision today on the "Walla Walla
plan OF relief for wheat farmers.
This plan. sponsored by a group OF
Pacific Northwest growers, business men
and bankers. provides for the sale to
farmers of surplus wheat held by the
board upon signing of contracts not to
plant next year an amount equal to in
dividual purchases.
Representative Summers of Washing
ton and Representative French of Idaho
Republicans. have headed delegation
which engaged in a series OF confer
ences with the board. A final discus
sion was scheduled for late today, when
q decision will be made.
Summers said his coup would re-
main in Washington until their plan OF
some modification Of it was adopted by
the board to relieve wheat farmers
suffering from low prices.
Under the proposal, which its sponsors
say can also be applied to cotton, wheat
controlled by the board estimated al
about 100 600. 900 bushels, would be sold
on notes carrying Ala per cent interest
The authors Selieve that with retire
ment OF All equal amount OF acreage
from production, prices would rise i'm
mediately; the surplus would be slashed
and there would be no consequent in
crease In prices to consumers. Farmers
they contend, can buy wheat now from
the board at prices considerably lower
than cost OF production.
