WHITEHALL GRAJIFIED.
Britain Pleased at Lindsay Roosevelt
Conference

Conference.
LONDON, January % (R.-Sir Ronald
Lindsay's departure for Warm Springs,
Ga, to visit President-elect Roosevelt,
vas viewed with satisfaction today in
Whitehall circles, where it was felt the
Ambassador thus would be able to
present more clearly to Downing Street
when he returns the views of the PreSi-
dent-elect.
While 1t was understood that Sir
Ronald was under no definite instruc
tions 1t was regarded as entirely posi-
Bile he might outline to Mr.. Roosevelt
the British position, as enunciated by
Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville
Chamberlain in his speech at Leeds and
in the subsequent British agreement to
enter into new debts talks.
As viewed here, the British, by
cleverly parrying Mr.. Roosevelts infer
ence that debts and economic condi-
tions were to be discussed simultane-
cusly. hope to have forced the WASH
ington Conference to be narrowed down
to debts alone. It was felt that the
conference between Mr.. Roosevelt might
serve very useful purposes.
In his Leeds speech Mr.. Chamberlain
reiterated that Britain would prefer all
around cancellation Of debts and repa-
rations, but If that was too much for
America to accept, the British would
negotiate, keeping in mind two points
that the settlement must be final and
that German reparations must not be
resumed.

DES MONIES, Iowa, January 28.--
Inflated credit rather than inflated
currency was the depression cure ad-
vanced by Franklin w. Fort Of Wash
ington, chairman of the Federal Home
Lean Bank System, here to confer with
other home loan officials.
He said experiences here and abroad
have shown that currency initiation is
not remedy.
In 1929 when prices were at the
peak" he said, the United States had
between four and five billion dollars in
currency cutsta nding. At the same
time we had So billion dollars in credit.
Today we have billion dollars more
currency than we had in 1929, yet prices
are at the very bottom. At the same
time our credit volume has dwindled
to about 46 billion dollars, decrease of
$12 900 900 ,000."

Bank Raided by Four.
Four raiders, whose features were
hidden partially by heavy growths Of
boards, forced four employees and a
customer of the Klein National Bank
at Madison to the floor and escaped
with between $1,000 and $4,000 in
car driven by a fifth.
The bandits swept into town while
roads were thronged by the automo-
biles of incoming farmers. less than an
hour before the scheduled sale time.
Sheriff A. G. Smaogard, saying at
tempts to dispose of the three farms
appeared futile, Immediately announced
postponements. The farms were those
of Casper Westfield, rs years old who
has lived on the land 43 years; Thomas
Faaberg and Berent Olson.
John A. Bosch of Atwater, president
of the Minnesota Farmers Holiday As
sociation and secretary of the national
holiday unit, was here.
Before the sheriff announced-po
ponement Bosch asked farmers who
filled the officers quarters, DO you
want these farms foreclosed?"
NO" came the chorused response.
He later told newSpapermen the pur-
pose of the protest meetings was to
create enough demonstration so the
National Government will wake up"
Farm Help Imperative.
I'VE don't believe in mob rule and
don't believe in encouraging people not
to pay their debts, but the farmers must
have help" Bosch said.
Some of the farmers went to Monte
video. 80 miles away. where 400 cheered
as Sheriff N. A. Peterson announced
postponement after waiting As minutes
for bids on the farm of G. M. Thomp-
son.
The tract on which the lumber COM
pany had a claim was to be sold at
Granite Falls, IS miles from here. It
belongs to o. j. Olson, near there.

gagors asserted great leniency" had

NEW YORK, March II
G.N.S0.-Busy mathematicians
today figured out, for the COM

ers, that in every pint Of the
proposed 3.05 beer there is as
much alcohol as in an ordinary
drink and a half Of 100 proof
Whiskey.
BY volume the new beer will
be about 4 per cent alcohol.
In volume measurements six
quarts Of beer would contain
one-half pint Of alcohol by vol
ume measurement. In one pint
of beer there would be enough
alcohol to fill an ordinary one
ounce whiskey glass about
three-fourths full.
AS ordinary whiskey is only
about one-half alcohol, there
thus would be as much alcohol
in a pint of beer as in a glass
and a half of whiskey.
Schlitz, popular brand before
prohibition, contained less than
3 per cent of alcohol by weight.

The House Agriculture Com

plify the far-reaching emer-
gency farm relief bill pre-
pared by President Roosevelt s
advisers, Speaker Rainey said
today.
After a two-hour session behind
closed doors, the committee de.
cided to call representatives of
the Department Of Agriculture
this afternoon to explain the
intricate provisions of the plan.
Senators Hear Wallace
While the committee was can
vasSing the bill, Secretary Of
Agriculture Wallace went over its
provisions behind closed doors
with the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee. !.
The measure, which provides
for Federal leasing Of farm land
to reduce production and thus to
increase prices, was presented to
Congress by Wallace following the
Presidents message urging speedy
aid for agriculture.
Senator Smith CD of South
Carolina, committee chairman,
expressed hope that the bill would
be reported to the Senate early
next week. A number of Senators,
however, have requested that open
hearings be held.
In the House, Representative
Jones CD Of Texas, chair,
man of the Agriculture Commit
tee, sought to bring the bill up for
debate tomorrow.
A Sweeping Measure
The bill is declared by farm ex-
perts in Congress to embrace one
Of the most sweeping emergency
farm relief plans ever proposed.
It was recommended by President
Roosevelt with the frank state.
ment that it is an experiment.
The basic plan Of the bill is to
remove the agricultural surplus,
which depresses prices, by limit
ing production during the 1888
crop year. Because the planting
season is about to begin, extra
ordinary speed in passage was
planned.
The basic agricultural commodi-
ties embraced in the bill are
wheat, cotton, corn, hogs, cattle,
sheep, rice, tobacco, milk, and
milk products. The Secretary Of
Agriculture can drop any product
from operation of the bill.
A processing tax would be
levied upon all the products,

EXECUTOR SUES
. CLOSED BANK

A fight was begun in District
Supreme Court today by Thomas
B. Smith, assistant cashier of the
Commercial National Bank, to re-
cover $4,000 from a safe deposit
vault in the bank.
The money represents a trust
fund Of which he is executor.
Smith, as executor, withdrew the
money from his checking account
the day before the bank was
closed. According to the petition
filed today, he withdrew the
money because he became ap-
prehensive that all banks in the
District might close"
The fund belonged to the estate
of Gertrude L. Hoffman, who
died in March, 1881. In compli-
ance with provisions of the will,
Smith said, he sent a check for
$20,233.42 to the Domestic and
Foreign Missionary Society of the
Protestant Episcopal Church
against the money on deposit in
the bank.
Before the check was honored
he withdrew slightly more than
$4,000 from the checking &C.
count, representing the entire
fund he had on deposit as ex-
ecutor, placing it in the safe de-
post box.
Subsequently he learned that
the check had been returned
from the missionary society
marked unpaid" Smith said.
Robert C. Baldwin, receiver for
the bank, refused to give him
emission to take the money
from the box to pay the mission
try legacy, Smith says, on the
theory that the banking law gov
erning transfers and Withdrawals
with a view to giving preference
to one depositor over another
was violated.
