sevelt, is that the Federal Trade
Commission may require informa-
ton from corporations, but is not
legally concerned with the truth or
fslsity of the information which is
filed.
With the changes made in the orr
ginal Roosevelt proposals, issuers
and bankers cannot be held in any
way responsible for losses sustained
by small investors, If the bankers
can show that they have acted with
reasonable care"
Another change is that bankers
cannot be held liable for statements
made about foreign governm't bonds,
as was originally proposed. 1t is in
this field that corrupt practices of
the big banks have been unusually
widespread, present defaults on for
eign bonds totalling billions of dol
lars. The National City Bank sold
Peruvian bonds to It's customers, af-
ter its own financial experts had
warned the bank that the Peruvian
government would not be able to pay
its debts. Under the present Sc
curities bill there is no way in which
this could happen again. The Sc
curities Bill as passed by the Senate
contains an amendment which pro-
vides for Federal Corporation to
collect some of the defaulted inter-
est payments for the investors. This
corporation, it is provided, will get
loans Of $4,000 annually for three
years from the Reconstruction Fin
ance Corporation.

English banking firms since 1906.
The present bills are radically diff
ferent from Rooseyelt's original
promises about security regulation.
Roosevclt's original proposals con-
tanned provisions for making dir
ectors of corporations responsible
for statements made by the corpo-
rations. This clause has been re-
moved in both bills that have been
passed, thus removing the clause
that Wall Street found the most OBJ
jectionable, although even in its Sc
verest form, the securities bill never
represented the slightest threat to
Wall Street.
No Guarantees.
Despite Roosevelts publicity about
this proposals guaranteeing" the
small investors against loss, the Sc
curities bills passed in the House and
in the Senate contain not one word
about guaranteeing" security in
vestments. The bill passed by the
House merely requires that all COR
porations submit information about
their security offerings to the Fed
cral Trade Commission. There is
nothing new in this procedure, since
all the companies listed on the Stock
Exchange are required to submit de-
tailed information about their af-
fairs. This has not prevented them
from crashing disastrously as re-
suit Of the economic crisis.

bill from the proposals made with

Reno Still Praises Roosevelt
Although compelled at the Des
Moines conference of the Farmers
Holiday Association last week TO favor
the strike, which he had earlier tried
to head off by pleading that the
Roosevelt administration was going
to do something for the farmers, Milo
Reno still praises Roosevelt. In a
statement today Reno said Roosevelt
was doing his honest best for all
industry"
Leaders of the local struggles in
Iowa feel that it is necessary at once
to get rank and file leadership to
guarantee against Reno again being
in position to betray the action as
he did in the holiday movement last
year.

Senate by a vote Of dS TO SO today
passed the administration Farm
Bill. The progressive" Republicans
and Democrats made show Of OPP
position to the bill.
BY MOE BRAGIN.
The TWO horns between which the
American farmer has been struggling
for so long are crushing debts and
minimum produce returns. The chief
indebtedness of the American farm
err is the mortgage which amounts to
$4,000, 100000. TIL other debts
amount to SIS 600, 900 900. In most states
taxes and interest absorb about rs
per cent Of the farmers income.
For the mortgaged farms in about
1925 the average value Of farm land
and buildings abouted to 1864 and
the average mortgage debt was $4,000
Since 1925 the mortgage debt has shot
up like a rocket. At the same time
farm prices have fallen $50 per cent
below their average value in 1929.
Gross income has fallen from ST.
oil 900 900 in 1929 to $5,240, 900 900
in 1892. AS q result the bulk OF
farmers have been living on incomes
ranging from $500 down. This forced
1855, 900 farmers and farnhands out
of work. 1t cut land under cultiva-
ton down 100000 acres. 1t has
made more than eighty per cent of
the Negro farmers, tenant farmers
and about the same per cent of the
white farmers mortgaged and tenant
farmers. The small mortgaged farm
err is little better off than the tenant.
Roosevelts Attacks On Farmers
Roosevelt has janlmed through
Congress four measures intended to
stop the farmers mouth. The most
important of these is a bill to jack
up farm prices. There are three
ways to do this. The first is through
the domestic allotment plan which
determines the consumption Of wheat,
cotton, corn, hogs, dairy products, to-
bacco, rice, and beet and cane sugar.
The professor or first purchaser (nill-
er or meatpacker, etc. will be taxed

shall be sold In the domestic market

part of the bill leases marginal lands
and withdraws from production suf-
ficient acreage to cut production Of
agricultural commodities to domestic
needs. And the third part, holds
from market until 1894 100000 bales
Of cotton held by farm credit agencies

This agricultural relief is put into
the hands of Henry Wallace, secre-

Minnesota Convention Approves

MINNEAPOLIS, May 10, - The
Minnesota Farmers Holiday Associa-

video, near here, voted yesterday to
join the nationwide farm strike
called for Saturday ignoring the at
tempts of Governor Olsen, who is in
Washington, to postpone it. Olsen is
trying to make the farmers believe
that Roosevelt would do something
for them if he were not SO busy and
that machinery is in motion to aid
them. They have heard such tall;
before and say they refuse to be
fooled again into abandoning the

Ethel Barrymore
To Appear in Play
In Coils. May IL

Brilliant high comedy features An
Amazing Career" the new play in
which Ethel Barrymore, Queen Of the
Royal Family of the Theater," will be
seen at the Hartman in Columbus,
May ] and 2, with a popular Tuesday
matinee. The first night is being
sponsored by the League Of Women
Voters, while the second night is under
the direction of the Children's Home
Society of Ohio.
Only in Columbus and Cleveland
will audiences have the privilege Of
seeing "An Amazing Career" before
it opens long Worlds Fair run at the
Harris theatre in Chicago.
The most famous of the Barrymores
will be seen in the role of "Rosita
Morales, a temperamental prima
donna The play opens with "Rosita"
as a young artist in London, than
shows her in Berlin eight years later,
and finally reveals her in full matur-
ity at the National Opera House in
Paris, 20 years after her appearance
in the first act.
Action of the play centers about the
maternal complex of "Rosita." Not
satisfied with the demands which con-
tinual rehearsals make of her time,
the prima donna concerns herself with
problems involved in raising children
not only her own, but also those of
second and third husbands, previously
married The first husband is a vio-
linist, the second a painter and the
third composer. Considering the va
ried temperaments of these figures in
her matrimonial ventures, it is not
difficult to, imagine the resulting COM
plications.
