FOES REVIVE PARTY
TO FIGHT QUEzON
Philippine Democrats Seek
Alliance, Making Independ-
enCe Election Issue.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSoclated Press.
MANILA. Philippine Islands, Decem-
Der 16.-With foes of the politically
powerful Manuel Quezon in control,
the once defunct Democratic party was
revived at convention here today.
The Democrats plan to form an al
lance with a new party scheduled to
be formed tomorrow by a minority
group Of the Nacionalistas, which party
Senate President Quezon heads. The
allied parties hope to win at least con-
troll of the Philippine House at the June
elections, with Quezons disapproval of
the Hawes-C Cutting independence act as
the main issue.

Party for independence.

Senator Sergio Osmena and Repre-
sentative Manuel Roxas, who called the
convention, said the new party would
be named ''Nacionalista Party for Inde-
pendence." QuezonS party, which
heretofore has included almost the en-
tire membership of both houses of the
Insular Legislature, is styled "Nac1on-
alista Consolidate" Party
Both moves are the result of the pro-
tracted legislative fight which resulted
in rejection of the Hawes- Cutting act
and sending the new independence mis-
sion headed by Quezon to Washington.

OMAHA, Nebr., January 23.-There's
no need to feel alarm at the increas-
ing number Of divorces, says Mrs. Pearl
l.. Weber Of Omaha Municipal Univer-
sity. It's just sign that women are
forcing men to improve.
AS Mrs Weber, philosophy instructor
and mother of four children, looks at
it-and her husband agrees with her
pretty much" she said-women are
demonstrating that they will not put up
with cruelty and other distasteful con-
ditions any longer.
Marriage is on the remake," she de-
clares, 'and divorce is the assertion of
woman's independence. Women, who
obtain most Of the divorces, are forcing
men to improve"
And when they complete their task
there'll be fewer and fewer divorces. That
will be the happy time when RESPONSE
bilities are evenly divided between hus-
band and wife, she philosophers.
1T all depends" she added with a
smile, ION how fast the women can re-
form the men,"

SUMMERS, Conn.-The most i'm

from the sale of milk. For this the
farmer gets an average Of two cents
a quart. We got cent and half

2,400 quarts and received $15.53. AZ

1t costs the producers three cents

something about J.e- -. =,
and with the help OF the Farmers
National, organized an association in
Hartford, Conn. to put forth our de-
mands to the milk dealers.
I want to point out there exists
an organization which takes money
from the farmers and does every
thing they can to help the milk deal
ers. This old association heard about
the formation of the new one and
set out to fight it tooth and nail.
They visited all the farmers and used
all kinds of tricks to get them to
sign up for another year, Most OF
the farmers signed. 1t was therefore
impossible to start another sssecia-
ton Immediately.
What did happen was that we
forced the old organization to call
a meeting of all the farmers at the
Hartford State Ar1nory on Wednes-
day, March %. The farmers IN Con-

Whereas" the resolution declares,
this audience has been informed
that the official representative Of the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
in charge Of relief in the state has
positively refused to grant an in
crease in the amount allotted to Will
liams County: and, whereas, this
amount is woefulIy inadequate for the

therefore,
I'VE the citizens Of williams

piled within 80 days, we propose to
take such supplies wherever they can

Value of Dollar on
Foreign Exchanges
Falls; Initiation

On the international financial ex-
changes yesterday, the American doll
lar was definitely weaker in terms
OF gold currencies French francs,
Belgian belgss, Swiss francs and
Dutch guilders all rose in comparison
to the American dollar. This ten
dency was a direct result Of growing
European opinion that the American
financial situation is getting worse,
and is in the direction Of initiation.
America still continues its internal
and external embargo on gold pay
ments, at the same time that it Is
planning large expansion Of credit
through budget expenditures and fed
eral bond issues. 1t is rulnored that
the government may lift the en-
barge on foreign payments in gold,
If this happens, the internal cur
rency will be still further weakened
causing rise in commodity prices.
The unstable position of the Ameri-
can dollar on foreign exchanges re-
fleets all these tendencies.

Farmers Organize
Action Committees
Abandon Homesteads;
Can't Pay Taxes
tRE a Farmer Correspondent

MT. VIEW. Ark. -r Hundreds of
homesteads here have been ahan-
doned. Scores have reverted back to
the state for tax cIelinquencies. I'm
paid back taxes mount rapidly. Even
with taxes from two TO thirty dol
lars per farm, depending upon the
acreage, the cash return has been so
meagre that poverty and hunger is
general.
Mostly feed crops are grown Cattle
and some cotton is the main cash
income. Farmers who took out crop
production loans in the past year, if
they did not pay up, now find them
selves squeezed out thru refusal of
further production credit. This is
the attitude of the Roosevelt admin
istration to eliminate "inefficient
farmers" granting credits only to
farmers who make a business of
raising CROPS and livestock for the
market" That is, rich and well-to-
do farmers with SUFFICIENT collateral.
With a population Of 5000, in
Stone County, over LOO are on the
RIG. cash relief road work project.
Only $4,000 per month is the allot-
ment. SO impoverished farmers get
one or two days a month, according
to dependents. Government flour is
Inadequate in supply and distribu-
ton. But two distributions TO date,
which did not go around.
Organized into Committees OF Ac-
ton, farmers are taking steps to
force demands for an emergency APP
preparation to assure $4,000 ner
month, work on a weekly basis. Flour
and clothing is also included in their
program Of demands for immediate
relief from hunger.
A few well-to-do valley farmers
hire day labor For this the workers
are paid bushel Of corn a day ($D
- their price - or two gallons of

sorghum ($D. Others pay a bale OF
