the first pan-American gathering to deal
exclusively with agriculture.
But it Is not only wheat in excess of
needs that is troubling the world. There
is also an production of other
grains, with consequent declining
prices. There is situation in rice APP
preaching real crisis. This bread
grain, eaten by more people than any
other produced on this planet, al
though in bulk more wheat is grown, is
now IN flood.
The country most particularly con-
cerned, Japan, is endeaVoring to stem
the food. For the past decade the
Japanese government has been en-
deavoring TO stabilize the price of rice
by regulating production. 1t has an Of
fetal agency similar to our own Federal
Farm Board, which has been buying rice
for government account from the cur
rent crop and storing 1t so as to keep it
from the market. Recently this agency
has decided to sell the old stocks dating
from 1921 and buy from the new crops.
The old rice Is now being shipped
abroad for sale, naturally at low prices.
The United States normally produces
about billion pounds of rice annually,
shipping approximately half of this
came originally from Japan, has been in
favor in that country and our mer-
chants have sold sizable quantities to
their japanese customers. In the pres
ent situation the effect on American
producers of the production of rice
in the Orient can be easily seen.

The effect Of the world crisis in grain
production is beginning to be seen in
the live stock industry in this country,
although the cycle of production in beef
is too long to admit of any definite
statement concerning this effect as yet.
However, the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics of the Department of Agri-
culture is authority for the statement
that an increasing number Of farmers
in the Middle and Far West are follow

TORTURED
FOR YEARS
She Is Happy Now

For long, pain-tortured years,
Mrs. j. G. Henderson Of North Caro-
lima had a sore on her ankle-no
matter what treatment she tried or
amount of money she spent-noth-
ing helped her distressing condi-
ton.
Someone suggested Peterson's
Ointment to her-she admits she
was doubtful but she was so dis
couraged with this never ceaSing
agony she was willing to try any,
thing.
Before Mrs. Henderson had fin
ished her second box of Peterson's
the sore had completely disappeared
she was overjoyed to think that
at last she could enjoy living.
Peterson's Ointment accompishes
these near miracles because it's so
powerfully healing. Even one ap-
plication instantly relieves the pain
and soreness Of bruises, piles, boils
"a few days treatment entirely
banishes pinples, blackheads-even
the long standing cases. A S0c box

FEDERATION OF
INDIAN STATES,
COAL OF PACT
Complete independence Is
Abandoned by Ghandl
in Agreement.
BY WEBB MILLER,
United Press stan Correspondent

LONDON, March 6.-Agreement
between Mahatma Gandnl ana
Lord Irwin ending the Nationallst
civfl disobedience campaign in INDIA
brought the nation to the threshold
81 a new era Of political develop
naents-a federation OF lnolan
states with Great Britain's vital IN
terests in India safeguarded.
This conforms with the general
lines Of the conclusions Of the In
dian round table conference.
The fundamental significance OF
the agreement reached az New
Delhi lies In the facts that Gandhi
and the congress party abandoned
complete independence for India as
their present goal; they accepted
an all-Indian federation as the next
best goal; and they agreed to CO.
operate in forming a constitution
on a federal basis.
TIE conclusion Of the negotiations
b.A.gs the congress party to It's
greatest power since the movement
was founded forty-five years ago
and permits Gandhi TO WELD an
overwhelming influence IN the
forthcoming constitutional negotia-
tons.
After normally is restored in IN
dia, efforts will begin to solve the
complex problems Of the construc-
ton Of new form Of government
for one-fifth of the inhabitants Of
the world.
The negotiations are expected to
occupy many months. One Of the
most serious difficulties Is the
Hindu oslen problem, which the
first round table conference failed
to solve.

Church Leaders
Strongly Oppose
Betting Measure

Divided report on the house pari-
mutuel racing bill Is expected to be
made by the agriculture commit
tee In the senate today.
The measure was bitterly de-
nounced by Protestant churchmen
at a public hearing after the SEN
ate session Thursday afternoon.
Representatives who back the bill
In the house and Senator Frank G.
Holman (Dem., Lake. appeared to
advocate passage. At an execu-
tive meeting of the committee today
it was expected that the majority
would recommend indefinite post
ponetnent. The bill was passed in
the house on a similar committee
report.
Club President Heard
Bert Morgan, president Of the
Irvington Republican Club, ap-
peared as a layrnan to oppose the
measure. It's advocacy was based
largely on the possibility Of revenue
to the state,
AFTER all, there are things more
important than revenues" Morgan
told the committee. II do not be-
lieve that this state is ready to go
on record as approving gambling.
That certainly would be step
backward.
''THais bill will mean that foreign
promoters will come in here and
take money from our state"
Church Leaders Opposed
DR.. E. N. Evans, the Rev. Linn
A. Trip and Mansur B. Cakes ap-
peared as representatives of the
indianapolis Church Federation to
oppose the bill. DR.. o. w. Fifer,
superintendent of the Indianapolis
district Of the Methodist Episcopal
church also talked against it.
This is the old scheme that has
long been obsolete in America of
the state attempting to secure rev.
enue from vice." DR.. Fifer declared.
