BERLIN FLOUTS
j. s. WHEAT,
COTTON
Federal Farm Boards Credit
Offer Falls on Deaf Ears;
Price Would Bring Losses

Informal suggestions that Ger
many might obtain needed credit
and raw materials by applying to
the Federal Farm Board for some
of the enormous stocks Of cotton
and wheat, which the board is
now holding, have met little re-
sponse in Berlin, it became known
today.
The Federal Farm Board has
been seeking for some time to
interest Germany and other for
eign governments in the purchase
of its wheat and cotton, but thus
far without much success.
Nothing Has Happened
Ambassador Sackett's aid was
enlisted when he paid his visit
to the United States in June.
When he returned to Berlin Sack
ett is understood to have con-
veyed the suggestion to the Ger
man government, but nothing
thus far has come of 1t.
Numerous difficulties are con-
fronted in such a scheme. For one
thing, Germany has recently been
trying to cut down its wheat i'm
portation and to encourage greater
domestic production.
Would Reduce Price
1t is not likely German agricul-
turiSts would welcome the govern
ment buying abroad in such GUAM
titles as to reduce the price the
home producer is getting.
The price for the American
stocks itself offers another diff
Guilty. 1t is doubtful if Germany
would be willing to pay more
than the current market price
in the United States. For the
Farm Board to dispose of wheat
for 35 to 40 cents buShel that
cost 81 to $1.40 would involve
an enormous monetary loss which
the board is loath to contemplate.

the boys in locating jobs in their
respective neighborhoods. He said
today:
Boys Show Zeal
"The support which The
Washington Times, through its
10. DetectOr Force, is accord
ing the midsummer job cam
paign is most gratifying.
"The zeal displayed by mem
bers of the force in hunting
jobs for unemployed men and
women of this city is indicative
of the fine sense of public SER
vice with which the youth Of
the Nations Capital is imbued."'
In the group enjoying the river
excursion and outing today are
Douglas Thompson, William Jett,
Edward McAlwee, Edgar Knight,
Sanford Hughes, Walter and

NEXT CONGRESS
SURE To SCAN
SITUATION
Maryland Governors Stand
Re-echoeS Warning Recent
Iy Sounded by Senators

While congressional leaders
support President Hoover in his
campaign against wage reduc-
tionS, it became apparent today
the new Congress will inquire into
the advisability of imposing Fed.
eral unemployment insurance on
American industry as safeguard
to workers in future periods Of de-
preston.
Richie Warning Hailed
The warning Of Gov. Albert C..
Richie, Of Maryland, that the
Government will have to enforce
compulsory unemployment insur-
Ance in the near future If indus
try fails to care for its own work
ers, met with considerable favor
on Capitol Hill. Like warnings
have been issued recently by
Senators COuzens (R.) Of Michi-
gan, BrOOkhart (R.) OF Iowa and
Fletcher (D0 Of Florida.
A Congressional inquiry into
the whole subject undoubtedly
will be ordered next winter. 1t
probably will be conducted by the
Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee, of which CouZens is
chairman, since he is faVorably
inclined to the subject.
Best System Sought
The inquiry would be made to
determine which system could be
adopted in this country, and
whether its potential benefits
would justify the cost. At pres
ent, various systems of unem-
ployment insurance are in effect
in 10 nations, including England,
Germany, France and Russia.
Governor Ritchie suggested that
American industry could avoid
compulsory insurance by Initial
ing a system of setting aside
capital reserves to maintain en-
ployment during periods of de-
preston. He said that as indus
try has set aside reserves to main"
tain dividends in bad times, so
it should set aside reserves to
keep its workers employed in
hard times. This view was in
dorsed by Senators Fletcher and
Harris CD of Georgia.
