Threatens To Quit League Of Nations
tContinued from Page 1,

his voice was aggressive and his gestures sweeping and vigorous. Today he moved his arms only slightly and occasionally opened his hand to punctuate his cadences.
 The whole atmosphere of the Kroll Opera House, where the ses- sion was held. was hushed and tense. The former crown prince. in field gay uniform, sat in the diplomatic section where the French and British ambassadors also sat.
 In contrast to usual parliament tary sessions, the galleries enthusi- astically joined in the applause. Hermann Wilhelm Goering, presi- dent of the reichstag, frequently nodded approval. Of the deputies the socialists and most of the Inid- dle parties sat immobile In stoic silence, only the centrists occa- sionally indulged in desultory hand-clapping.
 Hitler entered the building with measured tread, walking down the isle to the rostrum and icily raising his hand in salute to the whole house. He was unusually pale. He wore a brown tunic, white shirt, black tie and the usual red arm band bearing a white swastika.
 He sat down in the chancellor's s place on the government banks amid utter silence. Goering opened the session with a few words and Hitler took two steps to the ros- trum and began speaking. The weather outside was grey. threat ening a resumption of the morn ing's rain.
 When he had finished, a joint motion of approval presented by the Nazis, Catholics. nationalists and Bavarians was adopted unant- mously. It said:
 '.The reichstag approves the dec laration of the government and whole-heartedly supports the gov ernment on the. question of equal ity of rights which Is decisive of the nations destiny"
 Before adjournment the reich stag stood and sang Deutschland Ueber Alles' and the Nazi anthem, Horst Vessel Lied"

Hitler, the. fiery crusader who led Germany from embittered ac- ceptance of the restrictions of the Versailles treaty to . new, aggres- sive national consciousness, unbent but little in his presentation of Germany's stand on arms, awaited eagerly by all nations.
 Denouncing the Versailles treaty as the cause of untold misery and 224,900 suicides, he again uncom- pronisingly demanded it's revision.
 Hitler, in a word, accepted the Roosevelt proposal and the Mac Donald arms plan if Germany s equality demands are met. but Threatened to wreck the world arms conference by withdrawing from the League of Nations unless Ger man is given. her full place in the sun, toe to toe with France ana all other nations.
 After accepting Hitler's declara- ton, the Reichstag, which had been shorn of its powers and abruptly dismissed when Hitler took over the reins, adjourned in- definitely, having been summoned Tor this special occasion merely to endorse the chancellor's speech In behalf of all Germany.
 The tone of Hitler's speech Throughout was one of being will ing to cooperate with other na- tions towards peace, but only on conditions.
 He promised to disband the German auxiliary police and also to subject semi military organiza- tions to international control. pro- yided other nations accept the same control.
 He accepted the. Macdonald plan, endorsed by President Roose- welt, as a basis for a disarmament agreement, but declined to forego Germany's present defense system for any new settlement not iden- tical with that given other na- fions.
 Warmly welcoming President Roosevelt's message to the world Hitler agreed that disarmament Is Indispensable to a solution of the worlds economic problems. He praised the presidents "high-mind ed'' offer to participate in guaran- teeinG European peace.

 Germany, he insisted, has dis armed in accordance with the treaty, and now if other nations re- fuse to carry out their part of the treaty and disarm too, then Ger man is entitled to demand re-arm- 4ment.

low the cost of production. Count less farmers are not able to make enough off their lands to pay their taxes and the interest charges on their mortgages.
 These conditions brought about a wave of mortgage foreclosures and numerous farmers were ''sold out" losing their homes and in- vestment of a lifetime. In many cases where the amount realized at the sheriff's sale was less than the amount of the mortgage, the farnn- CT was assessed a "deficiency judg- ment" which left him in debt for the balance.
 Out of such conditions - old debts that were high and current prices that were low-grew tho midwest farm strike that was called by Reno last summer when he organized the Farmers Holi- day Association in an effort to halt the supply of farm products to the cities and thus force prices upward. Roads around Des Moines, Sioux City, Omaha and other places were picketed by bands of farmers. Frequent

BY ROBERT TALLEY NEA Service Writer

Des Moines, Ia.-A dozen years ago when an Iowa farmer shipped two hogs to market he got enough money for them to pay $1O0 on his debts. Just before the boom col 1apsed in 1929 he could do the same with four hogs. But to-day 1t takes 12 hogs to raise an equal amount of cash.
 Multiply this simple illustration by the nations millions of farmers, by practically every crop and com- modity that farmers produce, com pare the resultant income figure with a burden of old debts that has not been reduced during a period of the lowest farm prices in 30 years, and you have the reason for to-day's farm unrest.
 Such is the background of the call for a nationwide farm strike" issued by Milo Reno, fiery presi- dent of the National Farmers Holi- day association and stormy petrel of the Iowa corn belt for a dec ade.
 Demand Insured Profits
 Dissatisfied with the Roosevelt farm relief program, Reno's organ ization has called upon the nations farmers to "buy nothing, sell noth- ing and pay nothing'' until its pro- gram for agricultural rehabilita- tion is met. That means govern nient- t-guaranteed prices that will afford the farmers the cost of pro- duction.
 Whether the cities can be starved into submission by the cut ting off of food supplies remains to be seen, but midwest farmers are we'll prepared for siege. Their barns overflow with surplus crops, huge mountains of corn that they refuse to sell at to-day's prices are stacked in their lots, their smoke houses are filled with meat-in short, they have plenty of every thing except money.
 For the past year revolt has al- ternately famed and smouldered in agricultural sections throughout the country. Last summers farm strike in Iowa and Nebraska was Followed by milk strikes in Wiscon- sin and New York, by mass action by farmers in many states to block Foreclosure sales and, just recently, by renewed outbreaks in Iowa with state troops restoring order.
 All this has not been revolution flor heard no farmer mention the word during 8 recent 1,50O- mile auto tour through the mid west farm belt-but revolt against existing economic conditions.

the period of 1919 and 1920 when farm prices scared to fabulous heights and wave of speculation swept the farm belt. Wheat went to $3 a bushel, hogs to $22.50 n hundredweight, Iowa farm lands rose to $40O an acre and even high CT on the wave of such prices.
 Farmers rushed to expand their holdings. apparently believing that these golden days would continue indefinitely. They bought more land at high figures and assumed heavy mortgages.
 In 1920, farm prices began to de- cline and, with slight Interruption, they have been going down ever since 1929 and, therefore, farmers who assumed mortgages five years ago are little better off than the others.
 Tn the past year, wheat has been bringing around 40 cents a bushel, hogs approximately $3 a hundred weight and the best Iowa farm land $50 an acre.

The bill was referred to the conn m!ttee on judiciary which to-day is hearing some 21 amendments to the liquor act, dealing with various phases, including reduction of bonds demanded of license appli- cants, etc. No report was forth coming to-day on the hearing yes- terday at which chain store rep resentatives opposed the amend ment to limit their permits.
 Senator Joseph A. Hackett of Waterbury stated to-day that im- mediately after yesterdays hearing the judiciary committee, of which he is a member, adjourned. He said that 1t would not meet in ex- ecutive session until all amend ments to the liquor control act have been heard.
 It was learned on good authority today by the Democrat corre- spondent that in the next few days the judiciary committee may re- port out a bill increasing the salary of Judge Miles F. McNiff of the Waterbury court of Common Pleas from $4,O00 to $7,500. It was not known whether this bill would include q provision to raise Judge McNifr from his present status of deputy to a full judge. A bill placing the Common Pleas Court on q circuit basis like the superior court recently was re- jected. It would have raised deputy judges to full judges and made their salaries equal. It is argued that both judges perform the same duties and share the same responsibilities and hence should be rated equally.
