VETERANS URGED
NOT TO COME HERE
B. {. F. Chief of Staff Asks
Service Men to "Give
Roosevelt a Chance"

An appeal to veterans throughout the
country not to participate in any march
on Washington, but to be good sports
and give Mr.. Roosevelt chance: was
made yesterday by Edward F. Atwell,
chief OF staff OF the Bonus Expedition
cry Force
He urged that they stay out OF the
Capital when Congress convenes next
month so as not to create confusion
OF issues and thereby embarrass the
President elect in his efforts to bring
back prosperity.
The statement follows:
There is march starting on Wash
ington November IL and national head
quarters of the B. E. F. advise and re-
quest all veterans not to participate.
The people of the United States by an
overwhelming vote have given our new
commander in chief, President elect
Franklin D. Roosevelt, their assurance
that he is the man who will solve
Americas difficulties. 1t is now up to
the people to be good sports and stand
by that vote and give Mr.. Roosevelt a
chance.
The presence of any large aggrega-
tion of men in the National Capital will
only serve to confuse the issues without
accomplishing anything constructive
Regardless of any propaganda to the
contrary, nothing can be accomplished
by march on Washington. The over
whelming vote of Tuesday would seem
to indicate the people have been given
back their United States.
The veterans of the United States
with whom I have come in contact dur
ing my speaking tour covering nine
States pledged their whole hearted sup
port and loyalty to our new commander
in chief.

| dealing with problems of the social
| world.

| course, are those comprising the Forsyte
series. which trace the fictional his
| tory of the Forsyte family in England
and America.
He also has engaged successfully in
| the drama, field In which his notable
! productions include 'Loyalties," in 1922,
and "Old English" in which George
Arliss was an outstanding success He

| ''Exiled" three years later and a num-
Der of other plays.
Launched Conrad.
Tradition credits Galsworthy with
| launching that other immortal, Joseph

vessel Torrens. Conrad was first off,
Ger. During the long weeks they talked

FARM PRICES NEAR
A NEW LOW LEVEL
Labor Department Statistics
Show Steady Decline From
Recent Peak.

Farm prices are nearing a new low
mark since the worldwide depression
began the Labor Departments Bureau
of Statistics said today in compiling
wholesale commodity figures for the
last week.
The bureau recorded q decline in
farm commodities Of six-tenths of /
per cent during the last seven days, re-
sultant in a recession to one-half a
point above the low mark reached on
June l8 last.
This slump is especially significant
because of the rise of IL per cent taken
by farm products since June Is. the
most sensational jump of any Of the
commodities during the recent reac-
tionary movement.
General Average Down.
The bureaus index for all commodi-
ties for the last seven days slumped
three-teDths of l per cent. bringing the
figures to 639, of three-tenths of / per
cent above the June low.
1t was pointed out that not since the
week OF September TO- when the peak of
the increase was reached, had there
been an advance in wholesale prices.
Each change has been downward, al
though for one stretch of three weeks
and another of two weeks there was no
movement in any direction.
OF all commodity groups, building
materials was the only one to register
an improvement last week, and that in
crease was slight.
Several Groups Steady.
Several groups held steady, but farm
products, foods, hides and leather prod
ucts, textile products and miscellaneous
commodities declined sufficiently to
bring about general lowering Of the
wholesale price level
Fuel and lighting materials. metals
and metal products, chemicals and drugs
and house furnishing goods were the
classiflcations in which no change was
noted last week.
Foods showed an even more drastic
reduction. They declined 13 per cent
and are now lower than at any time
since the week of June 18. In the ad-
vance during the Summer months, food
was second only to farm products in the
percentage increase. They were nearly
Z per cent above the bottom reached in
June.
