AUSTRALIA YIELDS
IN STAND ON WHEAT
Bruce Expresses Hope OF
Convincing States of Need
for Acreage Reduction.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 29.-Australian op-
position to the American program of
wheat acreage reduction, with the view
of raising the price of the worlds prin-
cipal staple commodity, manifested
what American quarters termed "a
definite softening" today
Stanley M. Bruce at meeting of the
representatives Of the United States,
Canada and Argentina. called especial
ly at his request, made it clear that
he and the Australian government
grant the necessity of acreage reduc-
ton.
He also expressed the belief that the
Australian states. in which the power
of cooperating with the project rests,
may be brought around to a similar
view providing certain conditions are
met.
The central Australian government
intends threshing the matter out fur
ther with the states at meeting Sat-
urday FriGay afternoon London time)
adopt here should be known more
definitely then.
Asks for Statistics.
In order that the central government
may have all the facts at its disposal
when this meeting is held. Mr. Bruce
asked the other wheat delegates to
prepare a table of statistics and to
present their positions. so that he may
cable to Canberra tonight.
As outlined by Mr.. Bruce, the attitude
OF the central government now is that
Of seeking from the states grant Of
To q
ment providing its conditions are met.
While three states already have
definitely said no, in two Of those three
there has been some moderation in at
titude in the last two days, and there is
some hope that all three may be brought
around to the agreement.
The Australian conditions are highly
technical and very complex. One Of
them in particular sets certain produc-
ton figures as the basis for calculating
Is per cent restriction, and the Amer
leans are fearful that acceptance Of
these figures might leave Australia with
virtually the same production as she
has now.
Plan Not Revealed.
Mr.. Bruce Is understood to have told
the conferees that while he feared he
may have given an Impression Of un-
reasonableness in the previous discus
sion as to the necessity of bringing Eu-
ropean countries into the agreement,
he had not intended to do 20.
1t Is not exactly clear Just how the
Australians wish the European coun-
tries to be approached-whether they
will insist upon the import quota prin-
ciple or how much they are to be
asked to restrict their production.
These two questions were to be gone
into more deeply at . meeting late this
afternoon

The first task or objective under the
national recovery law is to get more
money into the hands of the people, 20
they may buy more goods, 50 stores and
factories will hire millions OF the un-
employed to meet the demand.
. To do this. the law makes possible Q
cut in the number Of hours now worked
by men with jobs. Others then will
have to be hired to do part Of the work.
At the same time the rate OF pay is to
be increased so that, working less time
men will still make living wage or
better and be able to spend enough to
help business make jobs for yet more
men.
The law lets all businesses In the
same line get together and voluntarily
agree to do this. The procedure for ac-
complishing the objective Is:
representative group Of one in
dustry drafts code Of fair competi-
ton. Since enactment of the Sherman
antitrust law. in 1890, companies in
the same line have been prevented from
getting together, but the national re-
covery allows it for two years.
The code, for the present. Is only
to set the minimum wage that the tn
dustry may pay and fix the maximum
hours that any employe shall work,
with. possibly, provisions forhidding
selling below cost Of production, to

her attorney, w. M. Easterling, as fol-
lows:
u mean I will not sign papers for no
one to take him but my uncle. w. D.
Hilton. for I know he is capable of
keeping him and sending him to school.
Il think I should have .say-so in
this" the letter said, for he IS my
child"
Hilton lives at Mineral Springs. N. c.

mother was convicted, and remained
with him until Christmas, when he was

MONKEYS MADE IMMUNE
TO lNFANTILE PARALY YSIS
Daring New Experiments Being

ANN ARBOR, Mich, December 81
A daring new experiment with in
fantile paralysis, which is giving a fair
amount of immunity to monkeys was
reported TO the Society OF American
Bacteriologists Wednesday by Maurice
Brodie of McGill University. Montreal
The monkeys are innoculated with
the virus of the disease itself and at the
same time with human convalescent
serum. the fluid so generally used in
recent epidemics as a possible pre-
Ventive for human beings
1nnoculation with the raw virus, the
invisible substance which causes in
fantile paralysis, should give the mon
keys the disease and probably kill them
But when counter balanced with the
serum it gave, Dr. Brodie reports
considerable immunity"
The treatment has not been tried on
human beings, as it is too dangerous
until a great deal more is found out
about the peculiar combination OF virus
and serum Dr. Brodie said the correct
balance of serum and virus" is impor-
tant.
