lowers to prepare for a long.
drawn siege in the farm strike.
In messages broadcast to State
holiday leaders, the militant Reno
warned that an extended battle
lay ahead unless the farmers are
granted their demands for prices
that at least meet the cost Of pro
duction.
He said that, in addition, his
organization is emphasizing tn e
need for cooperative defense of

planks in the ultimatum adopted
by association directors at their
St. Paul meeting.
Persuasion, Reno declared, will
be the main weapon used by the
farm group in enlisting the entire
Middle West farm belt population
behind the holiday.
He explained:
although we are not endorS-
ing picketing, we would not be
unfriendly toward violence. in
cases where farmers revolt
against the loss of their homes
through foreclosures"

During the last short-lived farm

chief obstacle to be faced by
President Roosevelt and Maxim
Litvinoff, the Soviet foreign min

The issue involves debt and

claims by the Soviet government
for damage caused by the alleged
illegal invasion of Siberia by an
American expeditionary force in
1919.
The American debt claims total

Direction OF World Peace;
Mission to Sail Soon

MOSCOW, Oct. 81 GN,SD-
The Soviet government, through
it's official newspapers, Pravda
and Izvestia, today declared
American recognition of Russia
would be the greatest single step
which could be taken in the in.
terests of world peace.
The press unanimously praised
President Roosevelt'S "sagacity
and understanding" in opening
the way for talks which can lead
to recognition, Izvestia declaring
his action came at a time when
war-weary humanity is threatened
with new disasters"
Success FOreseen
Both papers attacked previous
American administrations for fail
ing to extend the hand of recog-
milton to Russia, and predicted
resumption Of normal political
and economic relations between
the two powers would be mutual
ly beneficial.
Regarding the settlement of the
difficulties mentioned in PreSi-
dent Roosevelt's message to Presi-
dent Mikhail Kalinin, Izvestia
declared:
"In America they we'll know
the position of the U. S. S. r.
on questions pertaining to both
countries, and that makes US
certain the impending negotia-
tionS at Washington between
President Roosevelt and Foreign
Minister LitvinOv will progress
in the tempo of understanding.
and will soon achieve results"

Soviet Union appreciates the i'm
portance of the projected conver-
sations in Washington. and shows
this by sending Litvinov.
The mission will leave for the

days was the official word as to

questions outstanding between our
countries" The letter, dated Oc-

President Roosevelt made it
plain that his act did not consti-
tute recognition of the Soviet gov

along with other outstanding prob
lens between the two countries.
