ADMINISTRATION WILL SEEK
TOCUT WORLD WHEAT CROP
AND RAISE PRICE OF GRAIN
Is Ready to Batter Down
Unreasonable Tariffs,
Trade Restrictions
By JOSEPH II. BAIRD

WASHINGTON, Mar. Is. (UP)
The new administration. it was
learned yesterday, is hoping to CO.
operate with the other great
wheat-growing powers to limit the
production and raise the price Of
this grain, thus putting more dol
lars in the farmers pocket.
At the same time, the state de-
partment announced that the Uni
ted States was ready to play a
major part in battering down un-
reasonable tariffs and restrictions
on trade. .
In recent weeks, it was learned,
American officials have been talk
ing informally with interests in
Canada and Australia about CO.
operative action to raise wheat
prices. These conversations may
result in an international wheat
conference to be called in advance
of the general economic confer
ence. Otherwise, the wheat prob
lem is to be discussed there.
Wheat is included in the formal
agenda of the economic confer
ence. That document, which the
American economists. Edmund f.
Day and John H. Williams helped
to draft, commented favorably on
limitation of exports of wheat,
plan suggested at the London
wheat conference of 1881. The
agenda adds:
eve had before US interesting
suggestions from the Argentine
government relating to the reduc-
ton of the areas sown in the chief
exporting countries and their linz
itation in importing countries. xxx
The conference might note it for
careful examination"
The cascade of basic commodity
prices has been, in the Judgment
of economists, one of the major
causes of the depression. In 1928
the American farmer received
$1.18 per bushel for his wheat.
Today, five years later, he gets
less than half that amount. or 81
cents.
In national terms, the Ameri-
can wheat crop of 1923 was worth
S9O8,OOO,000. In 1881, the latest
year for which official figures are
available. the crop brought only
100000.

WORLDS GOLD PRODUCTION
LAST YEAR WAS GREATEST
IN HISTORY, GENEVA TOLD

ed their output by about 8 per
cent last year, it was estimated
at the league. Reports from
Soviet Russia indicated a great
er gold production there than at
any time since the World war.
There were reports OF extern
sive new gold deposits discover
ed in Siberia. New deposits also
are reported in Northern South
America. The extent of the new
fields is not known.
Canada, Australia and Sweden
have reported increased gold pro-
duction in 1882. In Australia,
the gold mining industry was
dying until it received a new
lease on life by the rise in gold
prices. Mines once Improbable
are now being developed by the
use of unemployed into paying
propositions.
In the United States, about
100000 unemployed were report
ed to be panning gold, success
fully in the Rocky mountains.

FEAR DISEASE

STORM WAKE
Red Cross and Other
Agencies Rush Medical
Aid In Tennessee

NASHVILLE, Tenn. March Is.
(UP) Threat of diseases and
pneumonia spurred Red Cross
workers and other relief agencies
today to speed medical aid and
the repair Of damage of Tuesday
nights unreasonable tornado
which left untold suffering in
eight mid-south communities. To-
day the total dead had risen to
SO, with more than $50 persons
injured, some probably fatally.
Damage throughout the area was
estimated at more than $780,
600.
East Nashville, thickly popu-
lated, crowded with industrial
plants and homes. suffered the
greatest loss. Ten persons died
there, $50 were injured, and
damage was set at $1,000,000.
East Nashville was the first COM
munity to receive the fatal force
of the fast-moving, twisting
winds.
The storm was reported earlier
in Southeastern Missouri where
it caused $4,000 damage al
Charlottesville. Several persons
were injured in Lepanto, Ark,
but Nashville's suburb found the
storm striking at maximum force
Two persons were killed at Le-
banon, Tenn, as the storm NOV
cd eastward. 1t struck next al
Pruden, Tenn, killing eight. Two
were killed at Harrogate, two at
Bellwood, two at Camp Valley,
six at Kingsport, one each at
Mill Point and Oswego
The storm then lost its force
in the mountains of Southwest
Virginia. In addition to its ear
lier OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES are
not usually expected in the south
before late April or May-the
twister was accompanied by ter
rifle hail, with stones as large
as golf balls.
Citizens throughout the strick'
en- area generally reported un-
seasonable high temperatures di'
rectly preceding the storm. In
other ways, the tornado wrought
the same insidious confusion as
its predecessors, particularly the
one which killed more than $50
person in Alabama and North
Georgia last year.
National guardSmen were sum-
moned early to patrol the streets
of East Nashville.
One of the many amazing in
cidents in the disaster was the
heroism of Mrs. S. o. Foster,
mother of four children, who
stood over the bed of a sick
friend holding felled debris or
her back to protect Miss Nell
Holloway from injury. That
happened at East Nashville.
The storm affected an area
extending 543 miles. Nearly
1000 persons were made home

NEW YORK. March 16. (UP).
The new currency provides tho
groundwork for imitation, but up
to this time nothing of an inf1a-

Leon Simon, chairman of the
board of the New Orleans branch

He said that his statement was
borne out by the fact that the dol

The new currency is carefully
