ONLY ORIGINAL
OWNERS CAN SELL
Speculation is Stopped by Government
I'm the Hog Emergency
Program.

Word to the effect that spectators
in little pigs can no longer market
pigs under the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration hog emergency
program has gone forth over the
country from the administration at
Washington.
Spectators have been purchasing
pigs from farmers at low prices and
then cashing in on the higher prices
offered by the government. They
have, in some cases it seems, obtained
permits for large shipments which
they had not even purchased. That
kind of thing helped to glut the mar
ket and to interfere with the proper
execution of the emergency program.
AS a result, the administration at
Washington issued orders last Satur-
day, that beginning Tuesday morning.
September 5, absolutely no pigs
would be received at authorized pro-
cessing points for the account of Sec
rotary Henry A. Wallace unless &C
companied by permit authorizing
the shipment; and that from the date
of the order, Saturday, September q
no permits would be given to any but
original owners of pigs and that nc
one owner would be given permit to
ship more than 200 head.
To handle the permit business at
the South st. Paul market, a pig
permit committee was formed with
offices in the Exchange Building
South ST. Paul. H. G.. Zavoral, live
stock specialist of the Extension
Service, University Farm, st. Paul, a
member of this committee, has just
issued letter to county agents and
others saying that permits for more
than $4,000 pigs a day for the South
st. Paul market will not be issued
and that no pigs suffering from dis.
eases such as NEGRO, scurvy, arthritis
and so on, and no pigs under 2s
pounds will be accepted.
Mr.. Zavoral says further that there
is time enough between now and Oc'
tober 1, or until the quota of 4 mil
lion pigs is received, to make ship
ments, and that farmers will save
money by holding their pigs unit
they get permits. Otherwise they will
have to pay yardage, feed, and Other
charges at the processing points.
No permits are needed to ship prop
erly qualified sows. The minimum
weight of such sows has now been re
| duced from 275 to 240 pounds.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

A few days ago cable dispatch
appeared, quite obscurely, in the daily
press to the effect that trade agree
ment between France and the Rus
sian Soviet republics had been just
about completed, and would soon be
signed by the foreign ministers of the
two powers. The item itself looked
quite ordinary, and general news
paper readers were given no hints as
to it's deep significance.
When France and Russia negotiate
a commercial treaty, it is not merely
trade relations they discuss; no, such
conferences have a diplomatic back
ground, and carry with them ramifi-
cations that may affect the fate OF
Europe.
First of all, it must be borne in
mind that French foreign policy has
for it's principal object the continued
weakness of Germany. Everything
French statesmen undertake to do is
done for the purpose of preventing
Germany from ever becoming first
rate power again.
A Matter Of Friendship.
Now, there had for some time been
indications that Germany and Russia
were becoming increasingly friendly
toward each other. In Paris there
was only one Interpretation of this
friendship: 1t was a menace to the
security of France, to the peace OF
Europe, consequently, it must be
broken up. So, France began negot1-
ations with the Soviet diplomats
batting them with promises OF In
creased trade on basis of long-term
credits for purchases made in France
by Russia. Response was Immediate
for Russia needs trade, and Russia
needs-what is difficult to get any
where-long-term credit.

were carried on in Moscow and Paris
but enough has leaked out to con,

Three escaped Georgia convicts,
known to have kidnapped four men,
were sought today in the abduc-
ton of Miss Essie Kelly, 10, OF

Department of justice agents

Dazed and apparently chloro-
formed, she was found wandering

Before releasing Miss Kelly, the
men bound her hands, feet, eyes
and mouth.
Similarly, the Georgia mail car
rier was bound.
