DEFENSE FOUND
FOR WAR GAS

LODI, Poland, Nov. 4 (T.NSO.
Discovery of a sensational formula
for a secret chemical which may
be used for complete protection
against poisonous gases was an
nounced today.
The announcement came only
a few days after two professors
of the Clermont.Ferrand Chem
iStry Institute in Paris revealed
they had found a new poison gas
so deadly that gas masks would
be no protection in the event Of
war.
For the new Polish anti-gas
chemical, according to it's dis
co%erer, a local industrialiSt. is
capable Of destroying or neutraliz-
ing any toxin poison. It is used
by saturating a piece Of cotton
batting with it.
Thus it probably would prevent
immediate death from the gas
found by the French chemists,
who claimed that the only pro-
lection against their product
would be a hermetically-sealed
suit covering the entire person.

The Anglo-American debt nego-
tiations, which have been limp
ing along for some weeks, ap-
parently reached an impasse to-
day.
A conference was held at the
White House. with President
Roosevelt presiding, and upon its
conclusion one OF the conferees
said it was unlikely any further
discussions would be had at this
time. A communique probably
will be issued next week.
In the conference with the
President were Sir Ronald Lind
say, the British ambassador; Sir
Frederick Leith-RosS. sent here
from London for the negotia-
tions: Acting Secretary of the
Treasury Acheson, and Undersec'
rotary Of State Phillips.
The two Britons left the White
House hurriedly and declined to
comment upon the outcome Of
the negotiations.
Sir Ronald said to his chauf-
feur ito close the door and drive

ton him.
The British owe $4,000, 900 900,
and their next payment Of some
$85, OOO, 900 Is due December Is.

Billion in u. S. Trade Seen
In Soviet Recognition

trade balance must be considered
separately, because it is obvious to
everyone-Americans and Rus
slams alike-that the United States
cannot buy from Soviet Russia as
much as it sells.
Therefore, to bridge the gap be-
tween Soviet imports and ex-
ports-that Is, purchases and
sales-American credit Is a vital
factor.
Foreign Commissar Maxim Lit
vinoff, now on his way to Wash
ington to discuss recognition with
President Roosevelt, made that
clear in his speech before the
World Economic Conference this
summer, when he dangled $1,000
100000 in Soviet business before
the eyes Of America.
All Debts Paid as Due
But he did not mean short-term
credits. He meant credits or an
out-and-out loan Of several hun.
dred millions (the latter being q
pious hope). maturing in five to
10 years and secured only by the
full faith and credit pledge Of the
U. S. S. r. and with perhaps Is
per cent cash, +. o. b. America.
The Soviet government consid.
ers itself a good credit risk for
any government or business man,
as for Is years it has scrupulously
fulfilled all financial obligations
contracted by it.

FARM PROGRAM
GOES BEFORE
PRESIDENT
Governors Plan New Appeal
For Price Fixing; Hope
of Success Dimmed

A new appeal to President
Roosevelt to order price-fixing for
farm products was to be made to-
day by five governors from States
where the farm strike is smoul-
dering. And while the President
Is sympathetic toward their aims,
their hope of persuadling the Adj
ministration to adopt their plan
has been shattered.
The governors, after day and
a half of conferences, construed
objections raised by Administra-
ton spokesman to constitute q
flat rejection Of their immediate
price-fixing plan.
Wallace Is Hopeful
Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace, however, preferred to say
that the agricultural adjustment
administration was in sympathy
with the objective of the COVER
nors and stood willing to con-
slider the plan further in detail.
With the governors warning
that the farm strike movement
may become a calamity, Wallace
and other officials were confident
in the success of the present plan.
A speeding up Of the loan policy,
particularly on corn; possible
change of the corn loan base
price, and other means Of raising
prices were being considered by
the farm relief administration.
Governors Revise Plans
The five governors-O Olson Of
Minnesota, LANCER Of North Da-
kota, Berry Of South Dakota, Her.
ring Of Iowa and Schmedeman Of
WiSconsin-proposed licensing Of
buyers of wheat, corn, beef, hogs,
butter and milk, ALLEGATION Of quo
taS to individual farmers and fix
ing of prices.
Informed that cost Of produc-
ton this year is lower than the
So-called parity price, the COVER
norS abandoned their cost-of-pro-
duction proposal and asked for
parity prices. These prices were:
Wheat, $1.03 a bushel; corn, rs
cents; beef, $3.50 a hundred; hogs,
$3.50; butterfat, 30.6 cents, with
the milk price undetermined.
The department, Gov. Olson
said, held that it would be neces-
sary for the Government to step
i and purchase any surplus
which could not be absorbed in
trade and that this would cost
billions of dollars.

Buyers Board Critical of
Business Competency; Green
In Opposition

President Roosevelt's indicated
disapproval of the Swope indus.
trial self-governmert plan. at
least under present conditions,
was followed today by a state
ment from William Green, presi.
dent of the American Federation
of Labor, opposing it.
A statement from the Con.
sumers Advisory Board of the
MIRA questioned the ability Of
business to conduct its own at.
fairs capably in the following
words:
'Tn agreeing upon the gen.
eral requirements to be met in
an adequate plan for industrial
control, the board was guided
in part by the well-knOwn fact
that very frequently, when
given a dominant control Of
industry, the management-own-
ership group has failed to pro-
tect successfully not only the
interests of ether parties in in.
dustry, but its own interests"
Farley in Prospect
This paragraph followed an.
nouncement that committee Of
the Consumers Advisory Board
had been created to confer with
the committee of the Business Ad.
visory Council to which the Swope
plan has been referred for study.
In creating the committee, the
board took three principles as
guides-first, that there must be
recognition that there are three
parties in industry-consum
labor and the management-owner-
ship group; second, that the Gov.
eminent, must make sure that no
one group is dominant; third, that
if the management group is re-
lieved from the regulating influ-
ence of competition, the other par
ties must also be strengthened.
Aims Of Board
Then came the quotation
which. in a polite way, intimates
that business leaders are some
times none too competent, and
illustrations bearing on that
point, notably the disastrous" eX-
pertinent in copper price fixing,
and the recent boosting Of price
levels to points harmful to bust
ness, consumers and general
economic recovery.
The board is interested in ascer.
tanning whether business men
rather than the public should de-
termine the scope Of central
authority over business; whether
Government should be only indi-
rectly represented in such central
control; whether it is necessary
to guard against control Of Gov
eminent by industry; how small
enterprises can be safeguarded;
and how management, now largely
divorced from ownership. can be
required to fulfill the obligations
of what has become fiduciary
position.
