LARGER ARMY IS SOUGHT.
Austria Sounds Out Governments About
Increase Of 5000.

Increase of 5000.
PARIS. August 81 CP).-Austria is
understood to be sounding out the gov
ernments about a plan to increase her
army by 5000 men to the treaty figure
of 10000
Earlier this month Rome dispatches
said that Austria had privately asked
Italy, Great Britain and France for
permission to increase her military
strength by shortening the enlistment
period. The treaty Of st. German
provides that non-commissioned officers
and privates must enlist for not less
than IL years. shorter term would
make 1t possible for Austria to train
more men,
The present Austrian Army is $4,000,
but before increasing the number TO
treaty strength the nation prefers to
have the approval of France, Great
Britain and Italy.
The additional men, to be used as
gendarmes to guard the frontiers
against German Nazi activities, would
be only temporary.
French official circles, it was said,
look with sympathy on the plans Of
Premier Mussolini of Italy to help
Austria. but consider those plans to be
of value chiefly in the future. whereas
France sees the necessity for more i'm
mediate aid.
1t is likely the Paris government will
give Austria more facilities for exports
by increasing the quotas on Austrian
goods allowed to enter France.

LONDON, August 21-Representa-
tives of % countries, including the
principal wheat exporting nations-the
United States, Canada, Argentina and

the object of eliminating the abnormal
carryover which has been depressing
the wheat market the last four years.
Prices to Be Considered.
It also will try to increase and stabilize
wheat prices at a reasonable level,
which will be remunerative to farmers
and fair to consumers of breadstuffs.
The conference will complete CONVEX
sations begun by delegates from the
chief exporting countries in Geneva
May 10 and continued throughout June
and July while the World Economic
Conference was in session.
The overseas exporting countries had
achieved an agreement in principle on
a two-year program for the crop years
1933-l934 and l934-l935 and an under
standing with the Danubian exporters
for a restriction Of their combined ex-
ports which would allow the export OF
their present surplus. but which would
not permit any expansion in acreage.
Negotiations With Russia.
big four" delegates also have been
conducting negotiations with SOVIET
Russia with view TO its cooperation
in the pact.
Agreements thus far reached between
the various groups of exporting coun.
tries are conditional on the receipt OF
assurances of cooperation from I'M
porting nations. such as France.
The latter will now be asked. in ef-
feet. to agree to place limitation upon
their wheat acreage and adopt measures
to increase the consumption OF the
cereal and to remove as rapidly as pos
sible different barriers now impeding
international trade in wheat
These include import quotas and re-
strictions. such as percentages OF native
wheat millers must use.

an international agreement on produc-
ton of and trade in wheat"
| Leaders of the earlier sessions were
reported to be on the verge of an agree

postponement of further discussions.
American quarters felt encouraged BY
the prospects since. they said. 'the ne

generally recognized, and more interest
was manifested by those consulted in

Postmaster General Farley IS ex-
pected to join the President within a
day or two for a conference regarding
patronage. This pow-wow is expected
to include discussion of the problem
Of selecting successors to Commissioners
Reichelderfer and Crosby Of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The President arrived home yesterday
morning without incident despite his
busy week back in Washington. He
showed no signs of the strain under
which he had been. He was met at
the station by his daughter. Mrs. Anna
Curtis Dali. accompanied by her two
children "Sistie" and "Buzzie'' All
rode in an open automobile to the
Krum Elbow home. Although It was
Sunday, there was an unusually large
number of persons on the streets of
Poughkeepsie and along the highways.
Upon reaching his home the President
was greeted by his mother Mrs. James
Roosevelt. His wife, who has been
visiting the coal mining regions in West
Virginia, is expected to arrive home
today.
Coal DeadJ1ar II.
President Ro1sevelts in.imation that
he expects the coal code ready by We'd
nesday was taken to mean that date
has been fixed as a final deadline
among the bituminous operators. He
extended this deadline from Saturday
night with the view to giving the va
rious quarrcling coal groups more time
to iron out their differences. The
understanding here Is that the Presi-
dent has made 1t plain this is the last
extension and that there will be no de-
lay beyond Wednesday. If the oper-
atOrs have not composed their differ
ences and reached an agreement by
that time, Gen. johnson is known to
have instructions from the President to
draft q coal code which the President
will sign and, if necessary. resort to the
great powers at his command to en-
force.
Mr.. Roosevelt has made 1t evident
since his arrival here that he was well
repaid for the week of hard toll back
in Washington by the results accom-
plished incident to the advancement Of
his recovery program. He Is highly
gratif1ed with the elimination of that
week back in Washington. At the same
time. he indicated that, while he in
tends to mix his work here with re-
Taxation, he will be in close touch with
all that Is going on in the Capital.

he would not harm any one for the

The administration advisers were very
confident they would have public opin-

Racketeerinx on Recognition.
Political racketeers are mixed up on
the inside of the Russian recognition
situation.
No less than three have scented the
gravy in commerce with the Reds. They
have been shopping around Govern
ment agencies ard tying up with ex-
porting industries. They have proposed
more schemes than the Russians ever
| thought of.
Government officials are on to the
racket That is what has been holding
up trade developments.
Most Of the schemes center around
| the creation of q central credit agency
to finance Russian imports and exports
Naturally. they want the Government
! to put up the money.
Something will be done along that
| line. but not until the gravy has been
| eliminated.
The most logical OF the three
schemes is one 1Uhich requires the
r. F. c. to giue so to 10 per cent
of proposed S100.000,000 credit
fund Private American banks and
industry uould handle the rest. The
export fund ,rould be repaid by
Russian buying here.
Basically, it is a good scheme, but
the final form of it will be on much
smaller scale, with the Government
carrying less of the load.
