SPRINGFIELD, Ill., April %
Meeting in midnight session, the
Illinois general assembly today
opened legisl tive path for pay
ment of the $30,000,000 owed Chi
cago school teachers in back sala-
ries.
The senate passed, "a to 2, bill
which authorizes county collectors
ito act as receivers for delinquent
tax property.
Governor Henry Horner affixed
his signature a few minutes later.
The measure, although effective
throughout the state, is designed
specifically for Cook county and was
sponsored by Mayor Edward J.
Kelly of Chicago, who was present
at its enactment.
1t was estimated that the bill
will loose $3.50, 100000 now tied up in
delinquent taxes.
AS Governor Horner signed the
measure, Mayor Kelly said:
Let's hope that that stroke of
the pen will bring in millions Of
dollars"
Joseph B. McDonough, Cook
county treasurer, explained that the
bill will not be directed at small
home owners, but at delinquent
taxpayers, who owe large sums in
back taxes, and who have the abil-
ity to psy greater part of them"
McDonough said he would call a
meeting of Cook county officials
Saturday morning to submit a plan
"for collection of the greatest
amount of taxes in the shortest pos
Sible time"

HiStory-Making Switches

WASHINGTON, April %. - The
first and most important phase of
President Roosevelt's international
conferences at the White House to-
day came to an end with history
making changes n American for
eign policy.
Here are some of it's achieve
ments:
/. The United States gladly will
accept payment Of Europes S144,-
900 900 war debt installments due
June IS, but will not go to war
over it" if payment must be de-
ferred until after the world econ
onic conference.
2. June IL has been set as the
date for the world monetary and
economic conference at London to
discuss monetary sterilization, in
ternational exchange ratios, tar
ifs. commodity price levels, the
problems of gold and silver and as
sociatcd economic problems.
May Use silver I'd ray
3. The debtor nations may use sill
yer to pay up to S2O0,OOOOOO on their
war debts but at price not to ex-
coed so cents an ounce.
d. Great Britain. France, Canada,
and the United States may call a
tariff truce beginning April 90 and
continuing up to June II,
5. Concurrently with, or more
likely following, the economic and
disarmament conference, war debt
discussions will be reopened by Eu-
rope with a view to revision on a
broad scale, and in the light of the
decisions reached at the confer
ences.
6. The United States may nipple
ment the Kellogg pact by subscrib-
ing to a consultative clause and
plans to strengthen the consultative
pact by empowering the President
to place an embargo on arms ship
ments to aggressor nations.
7. Though the issue played no
part in the White House converse
tons, the United States plans to
adhere to the world court, subject
to pending reservations.
Press for Disarmament
8. The United States plans to
press for world disarmament to the
maximum consistent with national
safety, basing the extent of its in
ternational cooperation to safe
guard world peace upon the prog
ress shown in this direction.

as having definitely marked the end
of the myth of American isolation,
and the beginning of American
leadership in an international effort
to pull the world out of the eco

The biggest cloud now on the
horizon is in the direction of Lon

and the United States.
Should this develop, despite ev-

ton is determined to do to prevent
it, it's effect on what has been &C

NEW FARM ACT
DRAWS INTEREST
Minnesota Farmers Try to Get a Ray
of Hope From Provisions
Embodied.

According to information received
at University Farm, St. Paul, the
farmers of Minnesota are very much
interested in all three parts of the
federal Farm Emergency Act which
is now being put into operation by
federal agencies. Price recovery for
farm products, farm re-financing and
monetary control are the three items
drawing interest.
The reason for the increasing in
terest apparently is that, with ad-
vancing prices, the farmers feel that
it is worth while to carry on" and
the possibility of obtaining loans at
reduced interest rates points the way
toward carrying on.
This is all shown through the num-
erous inquiries which county agents
are receiving about the act, and par
ticularly about Title II, which has
to do with farm loans.
The act authorizes Federal Land
Banks to issue up to $4,000, 100000 in
bonds, with interest guaranteed by
the United States, and either to ex-
change the bonds for first mortgages
on farms or to sell them and use the
money to make new loans to farm
ers. The Farm Credit Administra-
ton, which directs the farm loan fea-
lures of the Act, began functioning
on May 81.
The farm mortgage section of the
Act makes it possible to lower the in
terest rates on both old and new
loans, and to permit borrowers, gen
orally, to extend payment on the prin-
cipal of their loans from the Federal
Land Banks, and to loan money di-
rectly to farmers in districts where
there are no national farm loan asso-
Citations through which applications
may be accepted. 1t also provides for
Farm Loan Commissioners loans to
be made direct to farmers from agents
of the Farm Loan COMMISSIONS To-
Gated in each of the II Federal Land
Bank districts.
Applications for information or
loans under the new act, the Farm
Credit Administration says, should be
made to the secretary-treasurer of the
national farm loan association in the
county in which the applicants farm
is located, or to the Federal Land
Bank serving his state. In the alb
sence of loan association, farmers
should get in touch with their county
agricultural agent.
The Federal Land Bank for this dis
trict is at st. Paul, MINI.
