the President was an important
member, failed utterly to under
stand the farm problem as a ma

lief" Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
speaking today in the heart of the

relief program. He called for a
definite policy of giving those
who have lost title to the farms,
now held by institutions seeking
credit from the governmental
agencies, the preferential oppor-
tunity of getting their property
back"
The Democratic presidential nominee
spoke from the steps of che State Capt.

Agrees With Leaders.
Leading up to his six-point plan, the
Democratic nominee declared:
Il want now to state what seems to
me the specifications upon which most
OF the reasonable leaders of agriculture
have agreed, and to express here and
now my wholehearted accord with these
specifications.
The specifications were:
'First-The plan must provide Tor
the producer Of staple surplus commod-
ities, such as wheat. cotton, corn tin
the form of hogs, and tobacco, tariff
benefit over world prices which is
equivalent to the benefit given by the
tariff to industrial products. This dif-
ferential benefit must be so applied that
the increase in farm income, purchas-
ing ana QeDG-pdyulS PO~cl Will AioI
stimulate further production.
"Second.-The plan must finance
itself Agriculture has at no time sought
and does not now seek such access to
the public treasury as was provided by
the futile and costly attempts at price
stabilization by the Federal Farm Board
1t seeks only equality OF opportunity
with tariff protected industry.
"Third-It must not make use OF
any mechanism which would cause our
European customers to retaliate on the
grounds of dumping. 1t must be based
upon making the tariff effective and
direct in its operation.
Cooperative; Not Coercive.
"Fourth-It must make use Of ex-
isting agencies and so far as possible
be decentralized in its administration
SO that the chief responsibility for its
operation will rest with the locality
rather than with newly created BUREAU
cratic machinery in Washington.
"Fifth-It must operate as nearly as
possible on a cooperative basis and its
effect must be to enhance and strength

Communication Seen as Great
i Victory for Nazi Followers;
7 Freedom Is New Goal

BERLIN, Sept. 2 (LN.S.).
The Prussian cabinet today
conmuted to life imprison-
ment the death sentences i'm
posed upon five of Adolf Hit
ler's Nazi followers for po-
litical murder of a Communist.
The action was taken on the
ground the convicted men at the
time of the crime were ignorant
of the drastic anti-terrorism de.
cree which the Won Papen gov
ernment had effected just 80
minutes before the murder and
under which they received their
severe sentence.
Retrial to BE Granted
1t was reported a. retrial in an
ordinary court would be granted.
The action. came unexpectedly
In view OF a recent speech by
Chancellor Won Papen in which
he intimatld he would stand
firm on the special courts SEN
tence condemning the five Nazis
to be beheaded.
It was a signal victory for Hit
Ter. Though actually the COM
mutation wss ordered by the
Prussian government, it could
hardly have been made without
the assent of the National gov
ernment.
The decision followed a fiery
campaign launched by Hitler and
his men Immediately after the
sentences. which threw the en-
tire Reich into an uproar. The
chief Berlin organ of the Nazis.
Der Angriff, was suspended for
a week for heated editorial on
the case.
Freedom Demanded
: Nazi headquarters, however,
were not satisfied. They issued
a statement demanding the abso-
lutte freedom of the convicted
men. 1t Said:
"Life imprisonment for the
men In the Beuthen case Is in
tOlerable. They should have
been freed.
"The fight against the Won
