WALLACE PREPARES PLAN
Will Ask Governors Of All States
to Cooperate in Farm
Relief

Washington, May 1.-(APl-Eouse
Democratic leaders late Monday de-
cided to postpone vote on the in
flation section Of the farm relief bill

Almost coincidental with this deci-
sion OF house leaders, Secretary Wall
lace announced he had asked all gov
errors to set up state advisory COM
mittees to take part in administra-
ton OF the farm relief act in order to
have it in operation promptly after
final congressional action.
The delayed vote on the Initiation
amendment will prevent the farm bill
from soing to conference between
representatives and senators before
the middle Of the week, since the In
flatio1 measure is attached to the
farm Vii.
Secretary Wallace has written the
48 governors suggesting they set up
for eych state an advisory committee
of five MEMBERSHIP governor, COM
miss oner or secretary Of agriculture,
the director of extension, the chief
justice OF the supreme court and a
, far,ner-to aid in carrying out the
farm measure.
Will Name Administrator
The director OF extension would
serve In most cases as secretary OF the
group. In addition, Wallace said a
state administrator OF the act would
be selected and in some cases the di-
rector of extension would be chosen
for this work.
The house acted several weeks age
on the price-lifting and mortgage
easjng sections OF the farm bill. Thu

Tokyo Instructs Manchurian
Spokesman. to Seek Peace
full Settlement

Tokyo, May 1.-(P-General No
buyoshi Muto. Japan's supreme mil
itary and diplomatic representative
in Manchuria, has been instructed to
use his influence to prevent the pres
ent wordy strife between Manchukuo
and Soviet Russia from becoming
more serious or involving the Japa-
nese army.
These instructions were sent him
by the war office. The foreign Of
flee stressed the fact that General
Muto was acting in his capacity as
commander in-chief Of the army in
Manchuria and not as Japan's am
bassador. The army is charged with
Manchukuo's defense in event the
new state is involved in war.
Tokyo officials profess confidence
that the chances of an actual con-
flict over the administration of the
Chinese Eastern railway, the joint
charge of Russia and Manchukuo
and the cause of the present dispute,
is very remote.

ASK MORE FEDERAL

ROAD DEPARTMENT
vogeI Says Unemployment Will
Increase Unless Govern
ment Comes to Rescue

President Roosevelt has been urged
to include highway construction in
his public wor ks program in a tele-
gram sent him by Governor William
LANCER.
The governor informed the presi-
dent he believe s that highway con-
struction is the quickest, cheapest and
most efficient means of relieving UNI
employment" and that unless this
Is included in the public works pro-
gram unemployment will soon be
greatly increased"
Highway Commissioner Frank A.
Vogel estimated that 5000 additional
men could be put to work in North
Dakota within so days If funds were
available. He is urging state groups
and citizens to request the president
and congressman to include highway
work in the public works program.
From the time construction work
actually gets in full swing until the
emergency funds allotted last year
are actually spent, Vogel said, there
will be at work on the highways OF
the state over 5000 men. After fed
eral funds arc exhausted this num-
Der will drop to 1900 men, he esti-
mated. Unless further federal aid
Is forthcoming the unemployment
situation in North Dakota will be
greatly increa sed during the latter
half of this year, according to the
highway commissioner.
An analysis Of highway work by
the bureau Of roads, Vogel said, shows
that as high as 80 per cent of the cost
Of highways goes to the laboring man,
either direotly on the project as la
Dor or in transportation of materials
and production and manufacture OF
equipment and materials.
Highway construction can give i'm
mediate relief, !" he said. plans are
ready. Highways are needed improve
ments and will not flood an already
glutted market"

GERMAN POLICE TO
Be LISTED IN ARMY
Decision Is Made BY Geneva
Conference Seeking Mill
tary Reductions

Geneva, Switzerland, May 1.-tF-
Some 10000 German state police will
be counted as an integral part Of the
new German army If the disarmament
conference ratifies a decision taken
Monday by the committee on army
electives.
Germany abstained from voting, thus
leaving the battle to the conference
il it is impossible to reach an agree
ment In private negotiations. The
American delegate voted against IN
clusion Of the police.
Germany's refusal to abolish the
Reichswehr and accept short-term
CONSUMPTION army runs counter to one
OF the cardinal points Of the French
disarmament police policy.
Delegates are unanimous about the
desirability OF reaching agreement on
main issues before the world economic
conference convenes in June.
While Colonel George Y. Strong o.
the United States voted against count
ing as soldiers the main body Of state
police in Germany, he advocated
counting about 10000 on the ground
that they could be regarded as q mill
tary organization.
Determination Of the status Of Ger.
man state police by the disarmament
conference is important in connection
with the British arms plan recently
presented by Prime Minister RAMSAY
Macdonald.
The British plan allocates home
armies of 100000 men each to France
and Germany. Germany has beer
doing her utmost to prevent any deci-
sion which would put her police In the
category Of soldiers and thus use up
part Of this quota. The present Ger
man army is limited to 10000 men by
the Treaty Of Versailles.

Fred D. Fagg, Jr., secretary of the

the trend of uniform regulation
throughout the United States.
SWEET described himself as a lay
man and an average citizen de-
claring he is not an expert in avia-
ton.
Monopolization Feared
The average layman in North Da-
kota, he said, probably is fearful OF
monopolization OF the air, such a
fear being the outgrowth of abuses
Of monopolies in other industries in
the past.
He said happy in-between" OF
the two schools Of thought-one for
close regulation and the other for no
regulation-apparently will be best
suited for aviation, declaring that
the public must be protected against
possible abuses while enough freedom
to permit healthy expansion of the
air industry should be insured. Be-
cause OF the nature of aviation, he
said, most regulation should be fed
,eral.
mo legislative gratuity may be ex-
pected from North Dakota" he told
officials, pointing out that residents
Of this state are "tax-conscious' and
in favor Of lower state expenses.
