also has cured the farmer.
 On the power issue, which Gov erner Roosevelt discussed at Port land. Ore, the administration ln- tends to reiterate the record. Pres- ident Hoover in his acceptance speech declared he had repeatedly recommended federal regulation or interstate power, and would con- tinue to urge it but that he would continue to oppose federal opera ton of power projects. The repub- lican platform urged legislation to empower the federal power coHlr mission to regulate interstate rates.
 Actually the republican case al ready has been presented. President Hoover presented it in his accept ance speech. Calvin Coolidge pre- sented it in a magazine article. Cabinet officers and lesser figures have expanded various aspects o1 it.
 Farmers Are Sore
 Des Moines, Ia, Sept 22-(UP)- "A peaceful demonstration by 10000 farmers when President Hoover returns next month to his home state was planned to-day by agrl- cultural leaders who warned that the only alternative to farm relief is dictatorship or revolution
 John A. Simpson, national pres tdent of the Farmers Union. shout ed from the stage of the old Prin- cess theater last night that farm relief must be forthcoming during fhe next presidential term "or the next president of the United States will be the last" He addressed the Iowa union convention.
 Everyone is entitled to food, clothing or shelter" he cried. "If the system under which we are ruled will not provide them, go take them. Human rights are supe- rior to constitutions and law"
 Milo Reno. bushy-haired presi- dent of the National Farmers Holi- day Association, which is launching a movement for holding farm pro- duce off the market until prices rise, revealed plans for a gathering of dissatisfied" farmers to greet MT Hoover when he makes the first major speech of his campaign, Oct 1 at Des Moines.

came here shortly after his ordin- ation about IS months ago. He has been transferred to the Church of the Assumption in Westport.
 Another change of local interest is the assignment of Rev James K. Brophy, formerly of Waterbury. from St Justin's church in Hart ford, to St Mary's church in New Britain.
 Father Brophy is the son of Mrs Margaret E. Brophy of 316 Willow street. He was ordained about Six years ago on completing his studies at St Mary's in Baltimore. He had previously prepared at St Thomas seminary in Hartford. His assign ment to St Justin's was made shortly after his ordination.
 The departure from Waterbury of Father Moriarty will be felt very keenly by his many friends and particularly the parishioners of St Margaret's church. It was a matter of coincidence that Father Moriarty received word Of his transfer yesterday a few hours prior to his scheduled induction as chaplain of Sheridan council, Knights of Columbus. Announce ment was made at the meeting of the council last evening and ex- cited considerable surprise and evident disappointment among the knights. They had looked forward with eager anticipation to Father Moriarty's support and guidance during the coming fall and winter months. Another organization in which Father Moriarty was very deeply interested was the Children of Mary society of St Margaret's church which was recently reor- ganized and which only a week ago adopted a program of varied activities. Under Father Moriarty's direction the society presented a very successful theatrical offering last St Patrick's evening and had contemplated number of dra- matic presentations in the near future.
 Father Moriartys personality and exceptional ability as a speak CT had made him one of the out- standing curates In this section Of the state. His assignment to Nor. wich Is viewed in the light of q promotion for In his new position
 he will have many opportunities to give expression to- the talents that made him so widely admired and so highly respected In this city. Father Roche. who will succeed Father Moriarty, was ordained In Hartford on December 2f. 1918. He is well known in Derby and South | Msriden. where he was formerly stationed.

BOARDED GOLD FAILS TO AID
 FRENCH JOBLESS
Three and a Quarter Bile lions in Vaults, But
 Country Poor
BY RICHARD D. MCMILLAN United Press Stan Corresnondent)

United Press Stan CorresncndenD
 Paris = France has $3,250,00O,- 900 in gold ingots locked away in a huge bullion vault here, but the country finds itself poor.
 All the time the yellow metal, in sovereigns, French and Swiss francs. dollars and ;n plain ingots has been pouring into the country the tide of unemployment has ben growing. Cost of living has risen and taxation increased.
 In a year France has added 5O per cent to her bullion reserves. Almost all the gold of the Bank or England came over during the gold rush. when Britain aban- doned the gold standard. But the average British subject is better off than the average Frenchnan.
 Received Millions
 The Bank of France has re- ceived millions of dollars from the Federal Reserve Bank, but the average American, is in "a far happier financial condition than the average Frenchman.
 Gold has not prevented France's army of unemployed from jump ing from 50.000 1S months ago 10 a quarter of a million now. The unofficial estimate of unemployed or partially employed is nearly 3,OOO,0O0.
 A sack of flour costs French housewife three times what 1t costs an American; bread is 50 per cent higher than across the border in Belgium, while food prices generally are about 40 per cent higher than across the chan neI. In Great Britain, the flight of gold has not disturbed the in- dex of the cost of living. In some instances it has fallen, due to ac- celeration of trade.
 Tariff Barriers
 The abandonment of the gold standard by Britain and the in- troduction of tariff barriers there have hurt Frances economic life severely. The farmers, who used to send their choicest fruits and flowers and vegetables to British markets, obtaining high prices be- cause of the high value of the pound when changed into francs, are cut off from these clients by the tariffs. To counter-balance this loss, they are forced to ask higher prices for their other com modities on the French markets.
 The quota system introduced by the Tardieu Government has add ed to the burden of 50 per cent of the people of France, that 50 per cent which does not work on the land. By restricting the free entry of foreign produce, the price of fodstuffs is artificially bolstered. This helps the farmer, whose vote is all-powerful, but the rest >of the community has to pay in in- creased cost of living.

MILK HAULERS HIT
VIRGINIA TAX PLAN
Increase in Retail Price Here
and Failure OF Many Truck
Lines Seen as Result.

A boost in the local retail price Of
milk and an end to the business of
many milk haulerS from Virginia farms
are threatened by the Increased cost OF
transportation that would follow adop-
ton of increased truck taxes proposed
by the special Virginia Truck and Bus
Legislation Commission, according to
Jerome FanciulH, representing Wash
ington and Virginia truck owners as
sociations
Mr.. Fanciulli made this statement to-
day in announcing that truck owners
and other affected interests would meet
tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock in the
Offices Of the Board of Trade, in The
Star Building to register opposition to
the proposed increased taxes.
Exempted at Present.
Under existing Virginia law, trucks
hauling milk to market for the farmers
are exempted from paying the for
hire" license fees and are not required
to operate as common carriers, under
which they would have to pay u per
cent Of their gross receipts as a tax.
Claiming that the proposed increases
would add an average of / cent per gal
Ion to the transportation cost, Mr.. Fan
ciulli said the Virginia producers are
not in position to absorb such addi-
tional cost. Many of them now are
losing money on milk production, he
said, due to the severe requirements of
the District Health Department, as well
as the general conditions complained of
by farmers.
Cost Would Be Passed On.
"If Virginia adopts the proposed truck
legislation it is difficult to see how
Washington could escape an increase in
the retail price of milk" Mr.. Fanciuln
