Here and There
In the Realm Of
Broadcastins
BY STANLEY BIGELOW

Problems of reallotting the air
waves are being discussed by rep
resentativeS of nations of North,
South and Central America at
Mexico City.
Little direct information has
been forthcoming about the con-
ferenceS, which have now BEEN un-
der way some time.
1t is taken for granted, however,
by many on the outside that the
entire situation is complicated by
the fact that the available wide
belt had been preempted by the
United States interests.
wildcats"
1t is also conceded that control
over a number of "wildca at" sta
tions across the southern border
is not making easy the progress
of the radio diplomats.
In the early days of radio, which
incidentally was not so many
years ago, the nations of Central
and South America showed little
active interest in utilizing the
available bands.
One consequence was that
broadcasting stations were put in
operation in the United States,
the wave bands allotted, and the
business developed, with Scant re-
gard to other countries.
Surrendering any considerable
number Of these bands doubtless
would be-and probably is being
opposed by operators who have
made heavy investments.

HULL PUSHING

TRADE PACT

BY International News Service
With instructions from Presi-
dent Roosevelt to forget about
troublesome Europe and concen-
trate on development Of closer
economic relations with the ma
tions of the Western Hemisphere,
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
today took active charge of the
movement for a Pan-American
trade alliance.
He delved into the work of the
State Departments special ad-
visory board, established during
his absence in London, to prepare
plan Of action for the American
foreign trade movement.
Busy on New Policy
Still concerned over the COM
plications of the world economic
conference in London, Hull found
the State Department a beehive
of activity, moving swiftly for
ward with the Presidents new
foreign policy of America first"
A lifelong advocate of lower
tariffs, he found the experts of
his own department mobilizing
weapons of economic warfare,
such as threats to place a tariff
on imports now on the free list
unless the exporting countries
agree to grant concessions to this
country.
Nations in Battle Of Wits
Thus, Hull finds himself in the
midst Of preparations for an
economic battle of wits.

COAL KING DIES
IN SPLENDOR

NEW YORK, July II G.N.SD.
Funeral arrangements were to be
completed today for John Markle,
former anthracite operator, who
died last night in the 52-room
Fifth Avenue apartment where he
lived alone with 18 servants and
a telephone switchboard to keep
things running smoothly.
This apartment, the largest IN
New York. had four elevators, 26
baths, three kitchens and 18 SER
wants rooms.
He was president of the Jeddo-
Highland Coal Company which he
sold out seven years ago for a re-
ported $8,500,000 In the great
coal strike in the first years Of the
century Markle was one of the
bittereSt opponents Of the unions.
He declared that "the inalienable
right of man to sell his labor at
what price he desires is being pro-
tected by the operators"
The influence of the late J. P.
Morgan finally brought about an
arbitration plan. The miners got
most of their demands.
In recent years Markle had
been interested in philanthropy.
His fortune goes to the John
and Mary Markle Foundation for
Medical Research.

G.O.P.POUNCES
ON VET ISSUE
BY International News Service

BY international news service
President Roosevelt's legisla-
tive victory in getting authority
to slash veterans compensation
appears to have given the Re-
publican party a political issue
for the next congressional elec-
tions.
Unless all signs fall, the Re
publicans will seek to elect a
House in 1884 on the issue of
lberalizing government treat
ment of disabled veterans.
This was indicated first when
the Senate Republicans voted
solidly for more liberal treat
ment of the vets and all but
eight House Republicans bolted
the Administration.
The effect of the issue will rest
largely on how Mr.. Roosevelt's
aids administer the revised econo-
my act. The government can be
Just as liberal under the Presi-
dents plan as under the rejected
Republican plan.
Few observers expect any real
liberality from Budget Director
Douglas but that young man may
be overruled by the President.
The Presidents plan left the
veterans at the mercy Of the
economy administrators. The
Republican plan would have pro-
tected them against being kicked
off the rolls and held the Slashes
in their compensation to Is per
cent of the old rates.
On this issue. the President ex-
pressed a willingness to go to
the country. He wrote a veto
of the Republican plan but didn't
need to use it. And the Republi-
cans are willing, rather, eager to
go to the country with him on
this issue.

NATURE HELPS
/ GOVERNMENT
. GUT CROPS
By International News Service

By International News Service
Nature is coming to the aid Of
President Roosevelt in his cam.
paign to reduce production of
some of the country's important
crops, reports to the crop report.
ing board indicated.
The board characterized the
first six months Of this year as
being less favorable for crop pro.
duction than the corresponding
portion Of any crop season in so
years.
Wheat Crop Hard Hit
The estimates indicate that
even with average weather during
the remainder Of the growing
season the wheat crop will be the
smallest in this country since
1893. 1t probably will amount
to about 495, ,681 900 bushels.
Corn production seems likely
to fall below 2,40o,000, 900 bushels
for the fourth time in 80 years.
Oats production, which has ex-
ceeded a billion bushels every
year since 1911, seems likely to
fall below 00,000,000 bushels for
the first time since 1897.
Hay production is expected to
be almost as low as in the drought
gears Of 1880 and 1881.
Cotton acreage is up several mil
lion acres above last years plant
1ngs, and a plan to plow under
Al 100000 acres is now under way
by the Administration in order to
save the South from oVerproduc-
tion with a consequent low price
for the commodity.
Acreage Is Reduced
The total acreage in crops is be-
tween and 6 per cent below the
acreage harvested last year. The
reduction was due to various
Rauses. including low prices and
financial difficulties at planting
time, the loss of 13,183,0 900 acres
of winter wheat sown last fall,
and to other factors.
The acreage for harvest will be
further reduced if the drought is
not quickly relieved in the areas
that are still dry. the board said.
On the other hand, large acreage
Of emergency crops could still be
planted if rain comes in time.
