Farm Relief Movement NOU
 Winning Concerts; Attitude
 Or Need for Aid Changin 2
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, WashingtOn.)

Whatever it's immediate legislative effect the present farm relief dis cussion is demonstrating that a very important change has taken place in the nations general atti- tude toward agriculture.
 Until quite recently the dispo- sition of most agricultural groups has been to think of the farmer as merely another victim Of the depression, to advise him be must work out his own saliva ton, and to denounce every agi- tation for tangible relief as raid on the treasury.
 There has been far less of that during the present consideration of the domestic allotment bill.
 A widening circle has come to believe that depression or no de- presSion, the farmer has not had a square deal; that under the ex- isting economic system he cannot hope to make his way without help, and that in the interest of the country as a whole, it is time something was done about it.

BILL WOULD DO SOME
 THINGo

No one will dispute that the domestic allotment plan proposes to do something about it in a most emphatic way.
 When tangle of technical de- tails are cleared away, you find at the heart of the plan pro- posal to pay over to the farmer a direct cash reimbursement, in ad- dition to the sale price of cer- tain of his products; and to raise the money through the operation of tax collected eventually from the ultimate consumer.
 That would have been regarded as quite revolutionary short time ago. Something toward the same end, but regarded by many as less drastic, was proposed under the equalization fee and the de- benture, and neither of these pro- posals ever attained anything like the vogue which now attaches to th allotment plan.
 They originated with the farm organizations, and were looked up- on widely as the rankest kind of class legislation.

U. s. Army Man Depicts
 Marie As Siren Queen

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-From the pen of a hard-bitten American army general has come an inti- mate picture of Queen Marie of the enchantress queen of the siren voice.
 In "an undiplomatic diary the late Maj. Gen. Harry Hill Band holtz, membere of the interallied military mission to Hungary dur ing the Rumanian invasion of that country in 191s-1920, ironically de- scribes the queens feminine wiles.
 The diary which General Band holtz did not intend for publica- tion, was obtained from his vii dow and is issued by the Columbia University Press.
 Speaking of the visit to Bucha- rest of Sir George Russell Clark, British member of the commis- sion, Bandhaltz wrote:

"It was most apparent that Sir George, owing to his prolonged stay at Bucharest, had listened to the siren voice of the enchantress queen and fallen under the spell of the Rumanian environment.

 Trade Balance Healthy
 The aggregate value of outborne shipments for the year was $40,- 3o3,912. The inbound commerce totaled $20,51O,238. The balance of trade in Alaskas favor was $l9,- 873,o74.
