Britain To
AgreetoU.S.
Tariff Truce
Macdonald Tells Commons
Two Nations Understood
Each Other
TEST FOR PRESIDENT
Showdown Looms in Congress
on His Bid for Debt Bar
gaining Power

London, May 9-Great Britain
accepted today the United States
proposal for a tariff truce until the
opening of the world economic
conference.
The acceptance was communi-
Gated to Norman II. Davis, Presi-
dent Roosevelt's personal ambas-
sador to Europe, in the house of
commons just before an important
speech on foreign affairs by Prime
Minister J. Ramsay Macdonald.
Macdonald, Sir John Simon, for
eign secretary and Walter Runci-
man, president of the board of
trade, jointly conferred with Davis
before the session.
Under today's agreement Britain
will be permitted to conclude the
negotiations under way, but no new
agreements will be made by En-
gland or any other nation joining
the truce.
After the consultation, it was au-
thoriatively stated:
1.-The last obstacle to British
adoption of the economic armistice
recommendation has been removed.
Final agreement is subjected only
to minor alterations in the word
ing of the United States draft"
The eight governments belonging
to the organizing committee of the
world economic conference were
expected almost Immediately to
recommend absentation from hind
RANGES to trade pending converting
of the conference.
Shortly after this development,
Macdonald, in addressing the house
said there is every prospect of
reaching an agreement between US
as to the advisabilty of an immed-
late truce"
Whatever happens" Macdonald
told the house, "the United States
and ourselves now clearly under
stand each other. We shall enter
with a full determination to do
everything we can to make the
world economic conference a sue
cess and thereafter continue to help
to remove fear from the hearts OF
the pacific nations of Europe.
1.-THE United States has agreed, If
the disarmament conference comes
to anything like satisfactory is
sue, to take its part in consultative
pacts, the effect of which will be to
increase the security Of Europe and
the safety of threatened nations
against war"
Macdonald advised silence at
present on the war debts issues.
THE prospects Of success in the
very delicate matters that must be
faced without delay" he said,
would not be improved by my
making full statements about what
is going on in a tentative, purely
non-committal way"

violence.
The association will petition Gov.
Olson to declare an embargo on all
agricultural products of the state
and use his power to enforce it."
Protest" meetings to influence

VIII Save Money

A meeting Of wool growers of
Stearns and ajoining counties will
be held at Sank Centre Saturday
night, May Is. This meeting will
be held at 500 P. M. in the Com
munity Club rooms.
For a long time many wool grow
ers in this section of the State have
been anxious to have wool of this
region handled in a cooperative
way either by selling it direct to
buyers in a large quantity or hand
ling it through a state pool. Since
the upturn of commodity prices fol-
lowing the suspension Of the gold
standard and money imitation wool
has shown a great increase in price.
On May 1 a quantity Of wool con-
sisting of eight carloads was sold
in Texas for 1914 cents per pound.
On the same date last year the
same quantity of wool was sold in
the same town 1t 81 cents per
pound. This represents over 100
per cent increase in price in the
past year.
The Minnesota cooperative wool

who handle wool from growers on
pool basis last year made cash
advances Of CT cents on MINI.
wool. At the present time they are
advancing s.14 per pound and Of
fcers believe that the advance will
probably go up to zoe before the
present season is over. This Or
ganization makes a cash advance
to growers when the wool arrives
at the warehouse. When the wool
Is all sold a final settlement is made
to the grower. The advance is fig
ured on IS per cent of market val
ue Of the wool at the time Of ar
rival.
At the meeting Saturday night
various manners Of selling wool
will be discussed. Many growers
want a wool Day" at Sank Cen
tire or some other point in the coun-
ty where wool could be sold to
buyers for cash and loaded direct
1y into cars. So far nothing has
been done in Stearns county to as
semble large quantities of wool to
be sold as a unit.
Every wool producer should at
tend the Sank Centre meeting to
make plans for the disposal Of this
years crop.

Gives a Frank Talk Over Rad
10 on What Has Been
Done -

Washington, May president
Roosevelt outlined to the nation
Sunday night his ideas for part
nership" between the government
and agriculture, industry and trans
portation in full exposition OF
his policies-past and future.
He announced that measures will
be proposed shortly to give to in
dustrial workers "a more fair
wage return, prevent cut-throat
competition and unduly long hours
for labor, and at the same time
to encourage each industry to pre-
vent over-production."
As a part of the new national
planning program, he asserted the
antitrust laws would be preserved
to prevent monopolies but that they
would not be permitted to "encour-
age the kind Of unfair competition
that results in long hours, starva-
ton wages and over-production."
Turning to the subject Of infla-
ton, the chief executive stated the
powers about to be given him by
congress for this will be used when
as, and If 1t may be necessary to
accomplish the purpose" Of improv-
ed prices, credit and wages.
He said the conversations with
the foreign ENJOYS have brought a
unit of action for progress on dis
armament and economic stabiliza-
ton.
"The international conference
that lies before US must succeed"
he emphasized. 1.-THE future Of the
world demands 1t and we have each
of us pledged ourselves to the best
Joint efforts to this end"
Mr.. Roosevelt delivered his sec
ond report Of stewardship in room
on the ground floor Of the White
House, starting his address at S:45
p. M. minneapolis time-)
Reviewing completely the actions
taken and outlining
those for the future, the President
in a calm, confident voice asserted:
To-day we have reason to be-
Iieve that things are q little better
than they were two months ago. In
dustry has picked up, railroads are
carrying more freight, farm prices
are better, but am not going to

over-enthusiastic1 assurance. We
cannot bally-ho ourselves back to
prosperity. do not want the peo-
pie Of this country to take the
foolish course Of letting this i'm
provement come back on another
speculative wave"
AS for his policies, he said it was
wholly wrong" to describe them
as control of industry, agriculture
and railroads, asserting they were
rather a partnership in planning
and partnership to see that the
plans are carried out"
As for the gold embargo and the
countrys departure from the gold
standard, he said a situation de-
veloped three weeks ago resulting
in a drain on the national gold sup
ply by foreign countries and a re-
sulting threatened fight Of Amer
lean capital from the country.
Asserting this might have result
ed in a panic and the complete
stoppage of the wheels Of industry
and that gold Is required as basis
for currency, he declared:
'T decided not to let any Of the
gold now in the county get out of
it"
'"The administration has the def
mite objective" he explained, "of
raising commodity prices to such
an extent that those who have bor-
rowed money will, on the average,
be able to repay that money in the
same kind Of dollar which they
borrowed. We do not seek to let
them get such a cheap dollar that
they will be able to pay back
great deal less than they borrowed.
I'm other words, we seek to cor
rect a wrong and not to create an
other wrong in the opposite direc-
ton. That is why powers are be-
ing given to the administration to
provide, II necessary, for an en-
of credit, in order to cor
rect the existing wrong.
These powers win be used when,
as, and If it may be necessary to
the purpose"
Going over his domestic program,
he pointed to an early public works
bill designated to stimulate "di-
rectly and indirectly the employ
ment Of many others In WELDON
projects"
The industrial supervision meas
ure now taking shape, he said,
would be "well considered and con-
