| MINNESOTA GOVERNOR
HEDGES ON QUESTION

st. Paul, Oct. 17.-lP)-Governor
Olson said Tuesday he would not
hesitate" to join. with governors of
all wheat raising states in placing an
embargo on wheat shipments, but
questioned the success of North Da--
kota's embargo in a resulting wheat
price increase.
I'm view of the large amount of
surplus wheat outside the boundaries
Of North Dakota and the relatively
small quantity of wheat in North Da-
kota as compared with the total
amount In the nation, I do not know
that the action of Governor LANCER
in declaring an embargo on all wheat
shipments out Of North Dakota will
raise the price of wheat in the United
States" Governor Olson said in COM
menting on the situation.
1T Is, however, a courageous act on
his part and will help to focus the
attention of the nation upon the sad
plight OF agriculture in general and
the wheat raiser in particular.
1.-THE matter Of legal authority Is
secondary to the matter of helping
the farmers of the nation. If the
price of wheat in the United States,
which bears little relationship to the
price Of bread in the hands of the
ultimate consumer, could be raised by
an embargo on the shipment Of wheat
from the embarrassing states, would
not hesitate to join in that action
with the governors of those wheat
raising states"
No Comment on Legality
Governor Olson would not COM
ment on. the question Of the legality
of such q move. if it was carried out
In this state. -. 4. i:
The attitude OF northwest railroads
on the embargo will be determined
by the legal departments of the re-
spective lines in the next "a hours,
railway officials said Tuesday. It is
unlikely that q statement citing the
stand Of the railways will be issued
before Wednesday.
Asked to comment on the embargo,

BY JOSEPH f. SHARKEY
Geneva, Oct. 17.-(P) - Powerful
pacts bind Germany in an iron grip
despite her expressed intention to re-
sign from both the League of Ma
tons and the world disarmament
conference.
Even should she carry out hel
plans. she still would be bound by
the treaty of Versailles and the
Locarno pact.
Too. she would be amenable to the
provisions of the league covenant for
two years--just as Is Japan, previ-
Gus seceder.
But Germany. by the double with
drawal, automatically risks no sane
tons or penalties whatsoever.
Germany is free to withdraw from
the league, but under Article l Of
the covenant she can quit even after
two yeaYs' notice only if she has full
filled all international and covenant
obligations.
Could Be Cited
If German troops should invade a
demilitarized zone on the east bank
OF the Rhine, Germany under the
Versailles treaty could be hailed be-
fore the league council.
Then. should the council decide by
a majority vote that the act con-
stituted aggression, the French army
could be moved over the Rhine
without thereby committing the act
of war
BY the Locarno pact. Germany
and Belgium and also Germany and
France mutually undertake not to
invade or attack one another or re-
sort to war.
Signatories of the Locarno pact
promise to settle all disputes by
peaceful means.
In case OF fragrant violation of the
LocarnO pact or Versailles treaty
the others would undertake immed-
lately to assist the attacked nation
II convinced unprovoked aggression
was involved.
This means that, If Germany
should invade French soil or France
invade German territory. Great Bril-
tain and Italy-as guarantors-must
aid the nation attacked.
