.CR AIN INDUSTRY GIVEN WARNING
 BY GEORGE PEEK

WASHINGTON, July 25.-George Peek, Farm Act Administrator, told the grain industry yesterday:
 Put your houses in order or the Government will act"
 Peek said he was greatly dis pleased at the recent sharp fluc- tuations in the prices of grains and Ia determined program for reform for methods of marketing products is necessary in this country and not to go on permitting farmers to be disposessed of their farms and homes through no fault of their Town because of their inability to make cost of production.
 My prediction is that unless the farmers are assured they will get a square deal before Congress re- assemblies, then an event will hap pen which will make what they have already seen look like a pleas ant dream" concluded Peek.

 We hope to make both per- sonal friends and friends for the Navy during out visit,' Capt. Row cliff declared. "The Navy belongs to you and to me, and to our country.
 "One of the primary duties inn posed on the Federal government by the Constitution is the creation and maintenance of an adequate national defense.
 Sometimes " seems in our de- sire to put other things on the Federal authority that probably do mot belong there, we have forgot ten or neglected the defense estab- lishment.
 We are pacifically minded. And no man who has seen war wants to go to war again. Nobody appre- ciates the force of high explosive quite so much as the men who
 eat their breakfast daily sitting on a million dollars worth of it.
 "We in the Navy believe in his- tory. Recorded history tells of 7,5O0 wars. In the 150-odd years
 of American hi tory, Americas forces have been actively engaged
 during 130 of them. It seems highly probable they will have oc- casion to do it again. It is our duty to keep ourselves strong un- ltil we are assured where we are going"

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Presi- dent Roosevelt last night called upon all employers in the nation to put into effect voluntary code to shorten working hours and ele- vate wage levels.

 Wants Personal Contact
 The President said further: T ask that even before the dates set in the agreement, which we have sent out, employers of the country who have not already done so, the big fellows and the little fellows, shall at once write or telegraph to me personally at the White House, expressing intention of go- ing through with the plans"
 Praising cooperation so far given to the attempt for American in- dustry to spread work and increase wages, the President said he recog- nized that a few men might att tempt to try to thwart this great common purpose by seeking selfish advantage"
 Voluntary Cooperation
 The President said there are legal penalties to meet in this but urged instead, voluntary cooperation and announced this will be the only instrument used "in this great summer offensive against unem- ployment."
 The President said the American people will pull themselves out of this depression if they want to.
