DEGREES LAND
BANK EXCUSES

Declaring that Imperial Valley
is being Disseminated against un-
justly in the matter of farm loans
by the federal land bank at Berke-
ley, j. j. Deuel., head of the legal
department of the California Farm
Bureau, stated in an address to the
directors of the Imperial County
Farm Bureau this afternoon that
the reasons given for refusing the
loans are not reasons" but "eX-
cuses', and the ruling against I'M
perial Valley could be and should
be rescinded.
The excuses" have been built
up through a period of years by Of
ficials of the bank, Deuel. declared
and asserted that 90 per cent of the
farmers of California are suffer-
ing from the banks refusal to make
any loans except crop production
loans
Authority for the federal land
bank act. he explained, is vested
chiefly in an enabling act, or an
empowering" act, and that few of
its rules and regulations are set out
in the law They are largely the Gre
alton of the bank officials, he
charged, and are oppressive to the
point where they should be changed,
if the farmer is to derive the bene-
fit from the bana that was intend
ed when it was created.

ADVOCATES INCREASED NAVY T0
ASSURE PEACE WITH JAPANESE
Noted Newspaper Publisher Convinced After
Trip To Orient That Large Navy Will Not
Offend Japan.

SAN FRANCISCO, July T. U.P!
TO assure continued peace with
Japan the American navy should
be brought up to full treaty quota
Immediately, Roy w. Howard, news
paper publisher, said here today
at the conclusion of a two months
tour of the far east
In ALL Howard interviewed some
two hundred civil and military lead
ers of the Oriental countries, in
cluding Emperor Hirohito of ia
pan. This was the first audience
ever granted an American journal
iSt.
Building up the American navy
to full quota strength will give no
offense to the most astute politi-
clans in Japan Howard, chairman
of the board of Scripps- Howard
newspapers, said.
These men are as sincerely de-
sirous of peace as is America. Ac-
ton on our part in launching a
building program to bring our navy
to full quota strength would dispel
the idea that America has gone
pacifist, and would be recognized
as insurance against any unfortu-
nate incident which might be pre-
cipitate by short sighted but none
the less highly patriotic militarists." 4"
A wholly erroneous opinion exists
in Japan as to the real motive be-
hind American interest in arms re-
duction, Howard explained.
"The japanese public has been
convinced that America, turning to-
ward pacifism in consequence Of
female suffrage, is facing military
impotence because of public cla-
NOR for tax reduction. The Jap
anese believe that in this desire for
tax reduction lies Americas real
affection for naval reductions. That
nation as rich and strong as AM
erica is conceded to be could real
ly favor arms reduction in order

NAME FOULOS
CONC|L|ATOR

To act as mediator between in
solvent farmers and their creditors,
Scott B. Foulds, secretary manager
of the Imperial County Farm Bu-
reau has been appointed concilia-
ton commissioner for the county.
Appointment was made late yes
terday by the four federal judges
of the district
The duties of this new position,
created by a recent amendment to
the federal bankruptcy act, will
include securing extensions of time
for farm loans when necessary.
The conciliation officer will act in
the capacity of referee and media
tor in all discussions between debtor
farmers and their creditors. Farm
ers under sufficient pressure of
debts may file petitions in the fed
eral bankruptcy court without ac-
tually going bankrupt. 1mmedi-
ately these petitions are filed all
foreclosure actions must stop and
the matters will at once be referred
to the conciliation commissioner.
1t is hoped that under this
new legislation the commissioner
will be able to secure sufficient ex-
tension of credit to local farmers
to enable them to hold over until
favorable terms are reached with
the Federal Land bank.
The petitioner IS only expense in
filing is fee of $40.

, to advance an idealiStic principle
Is beyond the grasp of japanese i'm
agination.
Difference Psychological
THE fact is that the Japanese
public has become convinced that
America is too penuriouS to fight
In that misconception lies real
danger. The gravity of the situa-
ton is tempered only by the fact
that it results from differing pSy-
chology rather than from clashing
fundamentals.
Howard referred to Manchukuo
as another AlSace-Lorraine, from
which Japan will never be ousted
except by force of arms.
China realizes, he said, that she
is to receive no aid from the league
or from the United States and that
she will only recover the lost pro-
vinces' when she herself has an
army equal to the task.
Since the world is obviously not
prepared to outlaw Japan for what
it has branded as her treaty viola
tion in Manchuria," he concluded,
land since Japan and the United
States must continue to occupy
both sides of the Pacific, common
sense demands some workable pro-
gram, even though it be erected upon
the ruins of a decade of progress
toward world peace.
"A building program should be
launched at once which will bring
the American navy up to full treaty
quota promptly. The past two years
have demonstrated that SO far as
the far east is concerned America s
efforts to substitute reason for
force in international disagree
ments were premature. This con-
clusion is inescapable, though there
is no disgrace attached to the fail
! ure which, in the final analysis,
resulted from Europe's failure 10

WASHINGTON, July 7. - Hugh
johnson, industry administrator
said today he was greatly concern
cd at the prospect of unmanage-
able surpluses in industry and run
away prices in the retail field.
Johnson warned that there was
danger of another industrial
smash-up if production and prices
went ahead of purchasing power
There must be a lot of specu-
lative buying of cotton cloth, y
Johnson said when his attention
was called to government figures
showing increased factory stocks.
There is the danger of an un-
manageable surplus and it gives
me cause for concern.
And I don't mean II applies to
cotton alone.
"If there is a great speculative
production you're damned right
that it's too much activity ahead
of purchasing power. 1t will in
crease the surplus and in my opin-
ion cause another collapse"
The N. 1. r. A. administrator
said that every effort should be
made to prevent an unmanageable
surplus and prices which increase
ahead of the power to buy.
Johnson said that when the Roo
sevelt administration came in TO
office there was danger of econo-
mic collapse in the United States

The Six-year old murder of Mrs.
Ccrnelia Buttles Murphy, 27-day
bride, by her husband at Long
Beach, Calf, has been solved by
the arrest of Lee Daniel Murphy,

here last December.
The slain bride, who lived with
her parents in Fresno, Calf, be-
fore marrying Murphy, was fatally
beaten in their honeymoon apart
ment at Long Beach in 1926, Sher-
iff McFadden said. She died three
days later.
At the time of the Staying Muir
ply had not been divorced from
his first wife, whom he married in
Peoria, ILL.,, in 1923, according to j.
C. Southland, a Long Beach inveS-
tigator.
The first clue TO Murphy's
whereabouts was unearthed at San
Antonio, Texas, last June 6 by a
detective there who recognized his
description from crime poster Is
sued by Long Beach police.
From San Antonio. Murphy. and
his wife were traced to Memphis,
Tenn, Sheriff McFadden said.
Murphy will be returned to Long
Beach for trial, McFadden said he
was informed by the California au-
thorities.

is being experienced, there should
be no relaxation from the recovery
efforts.
johnson said that prices and pro-
duction could be controlled once an
industry came under the N. 1. r.

He reported that progress was be-
ing made in formation of codes for

In referring to the prospect of
another business slump, Johnson
said:

happen if we have a new smash
up"
He deplored indications of con-
certed action on price lifting and
said he felt many industries were
getting bad legal advice, as if the
people haven't read the law"

One of the early features of the
