Speaking before the eighth annual

FAR EAST POLICIES

BY HIS SUCCESSOR
Roosevelt Declares Interna-
tionaI Treaties Must
Be Upheld.
STATEMENT SUPPORTS
STIMSON DECLARATION
President Elect Discusses Foreign
Affairs With Col. E. M. House
and Frank Polk.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January ia united
front by President-elect Roosevelt and
President Hoover on the American
policy in the Far East was indicated
here today by the Democratic leader.
Asked to comment on reports from
Washington that Secretary Stimson has
reaflrmed the policy that this Nation
will not recognize territorial gains made
in violation Of treaty agreements, Mr..
Roosevelt said
Any statement relating to any par
ticular foreign situation must, Of
course, come from the Secretary Of
State of the United States.
Il am. however, wholly willing to
make it clear that American foreign
policies must uphold the sanctity of
international treaties.
That is corner stone on which all
relations between nations must rest
Supports Stimson.
Mr.. Roosevelt wrote out his state
ment for newspaper men, and it was ac-
cepted here as showing complete under
standing between the outgoing and in
coming administrations on the Far
Eastern policies.
1t is understood Mr.. Stimson in his
recent conversation with the President
elect took up this subject in detail.
Mr.. Roosevelt turned again today to
international relations in his confer
ences at his home here Col z. M
House, adviser on foreign affairs to
Woodrow Wilson, was luncheon guest.
Frank Polk of New York, a former
Democratic Undersecretary Of State,
was also on the calling list.
viii Meet Davis.
Norman Davis, member Of the Amer
ican delegation TO the Geneva Arms
Conference, will consult with the Presi-
oent-Elect when he travels to WASH
ington on Thursday Both Davis and
Polk are prominently mentioned for
Secretary of State in the Roosevelt
cabinet.
1t is taken for granted here that
the American position for some time
to come on the Far Eastern crisis is
definitely settled that is, it is to be
continuation of the present stand
So it is assumed the conferences with
Col. House, Polk and Davis will deal
principally with new policies to be pur-
sued on the economic and arms con-
ferences.
Other callers on the Roosevelt list
today included Archie Mcneil, national
committeeman from Connecticut.

The full teTt of Secretary Mills
address on Page Alb.

Taking the first important step in
new move by the administration to
bring the Federal budget into balance,
Secretary OF the Treasury Mills in the
National Radio Forum last night
sounded a sharp warning of the dan
ger" OF continually spending more
than Is currently available, and held
out the hope that action to put the gov
ernment's finances in order and the
Government credit on an unassailable
basis might lend the initial impulse
toward recovery"
There were indications from the
White House that President Hoover has
prepared special message on the Fed
eral finances for submission to Con-
gress, and may send it forward shortly.
Secretary Mills has been in conference
with the Chief Executive frequently
during the last few days, and spent
considerable time yesterday at the
Whlte House, prior to his address last
night.
Calls for Drastic Economies.
Speaking over the forum. arranged
by The Washington Star. and broad
cast over the Nationwide network of
the National Broadcasting Co.. Secre-
tary Mills called for balanced budget
by sharp economics in expenditures. as
recommended in The budget now before
Congress, and by the raising of new
money through additional taxation. He
Issued new and clear cut plea for the
manufacturers sales tax as principal
means of obtaining additional revenue.
The deficit now is more than $780,

eral budget may be brought into bal

charges, not only through the preven-
ton of further increase in the public

Senator Dickinson of Iowa
Vows Battle to Obtain
Same Protection.
PRESlDENT-ELECT URGES
WHEAT AND COTTON AID
Senator Smith Reveals Position on
Return Here From Farley
in New York.

BY the Associated Press.
Word from Senator Smith, Democrat.
Of South Carolina, that President-elect
Roosevelt wants the domestic allotment
farm relief bill limited to two products
wheat and cotton-today stirred q
torrent OF discussion on Capitol Hill.
Senator Dickinson, Republican. of
Iowa, told newspapermen he would
make every effort ''to see that the same
protection is given the great State of
Iowa and her products as is given
other States and their products"
Mr.. Roosevelt's position was described
by Senator Smith, the ranking Demo-
cratic member of the Agriculture Com
mittee, as he returned from a confer
ence with the next President in New
York and went into an executive ses-
sion Of his committee on the measure.
To carry out the plan would elm
mate hogs, dairy products, tobacco, rice
and peanuts from the bill as passed by
the House.
Iowa Greatest Farm State"
Dickinson said Iowa was the greatest
agricultural State In the Union" and
was not interested in wheat or cotton.
Limiting the domestic allotment plan
TO two commodities simply means this
that there will be no farm relief for
the hog raiser, the corn producer or
the dairy man." he said.
The f1ve major products of Iowa
are corn; hogs, cattle, dairy products
and poultry products. Now to have
our people pay more for bread as con-
sumers and yet have nothing in the
Dill that would help any of the products
tnat We are producing Is simply an
injustice to the State"
Senator ShipStead, Farmer-L Labor, of
Minnesota, tod reporters the bill "is

II you are going into that deId.v he
SAID, i don't see how you can elimi-
nate any of them"
On his return from New York Sena-
Smith told newspaper men the Presi-
dent-elect was not familiar with the
details of the bill as it passed the
House, but he did insist that dairy
products, peanuts, etc, be eliminated
from the bill, in short, all but wheat
and cotton"
Smith added that Mr.. Roosevelt
told him he would approve any modifi-
cation OF the plan to cover cotton that

Outlined Own Plan.
Smith said he had outlined to Mr..
Roosevelt plan of his own under
which the regional agricultural credit
corporations, when asked by cotton pro-
ducerS for loans to finance this wears
crop, wound loan them instead the
money to plant food crops and would
buy off the market for the farmer the
amount Of cstton he intended to pro-
duce.
Thus, he contended. the present sur
plus would be reduced and result in an
increased price of cotton so the farmer
year later could repay the loan and
make profit.
