Agricultural Secretary confers
With North Dakotans at
Minneapolis

Minneapolis, June 24.-(FHRepres-
citations regarding the tremendous
advantages to be derived In the north
west from early development Of the
water resources in the Missouri river
in North Dakota, were made to Sec
rotary Of Agriculture Henry A. Wal
lace here Saturday by q delegation Of
North Dakotans.
The group included Fred Mclean,
chairman Of the state Democratic
committee, Grand Forks; s. w.
Thompson, Devils Lake, secretary Of
the Missouri River Diversion associa-
ton, and NJ O. Ryan, Fargo, secre-
tary, Greater North Dakota associa-
ton.
Secretaries Wallace and 1ckes, Of
the interior department, recently were
named by President Roosevelt as a
ub-committee to investigate the va
rious aspects Of Missouri river de-
velopment. The North Dakota del
egation petitioned Wallace to dispatch
conservation and water engineers
from the federal government to their
state to make a close study of the
USuSIltS w W 0C1AVC0 41V1SA 10AAkakSOsAA ;
river water control and conservation
measures.
These benefits were shown to In
clude hydro-electric power develop
ment, q boosting Of the declining wa
ter table in perhaps two-thirds or
more Of the state, navigation, recrea-
ton and irrigation II ever desired In
the future.
Secretary Wallace expressed keen
interest In the fact that damming Of
the Missouri at point near Carl
son could provide storage Of millions
Of acre feet Of water in North Dakota.
He suggested that such q project
should be investigated by sympathetic
engineers who could properly weigh
the vast economic benefits rather
than by army eningeers who would
give first emphasis to other angles.
He agreed to bring this to the at
tention of conservation, reforestation,

ties tried to serve in Fulton county

AMERICANS WORRY
ABOUT AUSTRALIANS
POSITION ON WHEAT
Mystery Surrounds communica.
ton from Home to London
Representative

London, June 24.-(H1-Consider
uneasiness existed Saturday at head
quarters Of the Aemrican delegation
to the world economic conference a
to whether fresh Instructions which
Stanley M. Bruce, Australian minister
to London, received from Canberra
Friday night mean his government
will Join other great wheat-producing
countries in the American scheme for
the restriction Of production.
Mystery surrounded the nature of
the communications to Bruce, who de-
clined to discuss the matter with
newspapermen.
Americans were continuing their
drive over the weekend to obtain
Australian adherence. Australia Is
the only nation lacking among the
major producers, including Canada,
Argentina and Russia, which already
have given the stamp Of general ap-
prevail to the plan.
Despite the delay In achieving COM
plete agreement, the American dele
CATION indicated they believe Australia
will come In.
II she does, It will be an occasion
for q celebration, since American rep
resentatives feel the adoption Of this
wheat proposal will be one Of the most
important achievements Of the world
economic conference.
There still would remain some
smaller wheat producers to be drawn
into the scheme, but the Americans
feel they would follow the lead Of the
big five-America, Argentina, Canada,
Australia and Russia.
Tone IL Optimistic
The weekend found q decidedly
more optimistic atmosphere surround
ing the conference than existed a few
Gays ago, when the sterilization bat
tie was at its height and some gold
standard countries, including France,
apparently were prepared to walk out
Of the parley If America should not
stabilize immediately.
With that question at least temper
arily solved through q Franco Amer
lean Impeachment largely through
the diplomacy Of fomer Governor
James M. Cox Of Ohio, vice chairman
Of the American group, the confer
ence was looking forward to construc-
tive work next week.
With business suspended at confer
ence headquarters Saturday most Of
the delegations were taking things
easy.
The Americans probably were the
most active workers because Of their
desire to get action on the wheat pro-
gram. Most Of them, including Sec
rotary Of State Cordel Hull, remained
at their hotel. Many other heads Of
leading delegations left London for q
brief holiday.
The b-committee Of the economic
commission, which has been drafting
q scheme for the coordination Of pro-
duction and marketing, finished its
work, and Saturday issued q draft
which embodies the broad principles
Of what they consider a workable plan.
It laid down the necessity Of raising
wholesale prices Of primary products
to q reasonable level and the desir-
ability Of adopting plans for produc-
