has been retained as chief counsel
to collect claim of approximately
S62O,8OO against the Federal Farm
Board by the North Dakota-M Mon

Geo. E. Duis, president of the
Wheat Pool has announced.
The claim is for storage, inter

charges incurred in the carrying
of the 1929 "pegged price" deliv-
cries to the pool organization, by
order of the farm board from Oc-
tober 1929 to June 80, 1880, Mr.
Duis said.
Settlement of the claim was ask
ed of the farm board by the Wheat
Pool in January this year and Mr.
Reed was retained last week ia
make settlement with the Board
because it had taken no steps to
pay back the money advanced by
the wheat pool.

Mr.. Duis said he hoped 30 get {
settlement from the farm boarC

thought that the existing economic
conditions did not justify a policy
of expansion at this time and felt
that Plentywool could get along
for some time in the future as well
as it had in the past and was re-
luctant about creating further in
debtedness and interest obligations
However, there was a real need for
the enlargement Of the school
building, that is if times come
back, and the expenditure is for a
laudable purpose.
Some people feel that there
should be county high school IN
Sheridan county built in Plenty
wood with buildings and dorma-
tories adequate to accommodate
the whole county and supported by
the whole county, and believe that
the building and charging OF
smaller structures serves to defeat
that idea. A county high school
would be much cheaper and much
more efficient than so many small
and poorly equipped units scatter
ed all over the county.
Active work on the new building
will commence as soon as the

liminary arrangements completed.

EXpOSlClUu VI I1S UOuSSIctIl pOSI-
ton created an issue on which the
meeting finds itself unable to
agree.
The Americans have repeatedly
voiced opposition to any quota
plan or International export re-
strictiOns on the ground it would
be against sound marketing poll
cies.
In addition to Russia's approval
of the quota plan" there was an
indication that she might expect
some one to finance her grain held
off the market, at present esti-
mated at approximately 100 mil
lion bushels.
The discussion is understood to
have conferred around phases of
planned operation, such as quotas,
but decision was postponed pendo
ing further study.
After reception of the Russian
views the conference was adjourn
ed until Friday morning, but the
committees will continue their
work tomorrow.
The official Russian tatenent
wa withheld.
RUSSIA FOR PRE-WAR BASIS
During the discussions the Rus
slams mentioned the 1909-14 aver
age exports a basis for any fu-
tre plan to fix export quotas.
This is expected to bring consid-
cradle opposition from Argentina,
Canada and Australia.
For 1926 to 1880 the five yea1
average of Canada's export was
OO4 million bushels against 81
million for the pre-war period OF
l9O9-14; Argentina exported ia
million against So million and Aus.
tralia exported Sc million against
50 million.
The United States pre-war ex.
port averaged 108 million bushels
against an average O 172 million
Tor the past five years.
Russian Workers Get Bread Cheal
McKelvie is understood to have
SAID that the Russian plan pro
posed to give their workers breaC
at a cheaper price than would b.
paid by workers in importing coun
tries.
The American view is that haC
other countries taken reduction
measures 18 months ago, Their,
would be no need for the Londol
conference, inasmuch as the Unit
ec States was out of the expor
market for four months and OF
reentering it stated what amour
OF wheat would be exportable.
