For years many have tried to
approach this type of literature in
an intelligent manner in efforts to
capture the beauty of oriental
poetry. Ikbal has carefully col
lected these gems of poetry and
arranged them in such a way that
approach to this long hidden
library is made easy
Oriental Caravan is divided
into four books: Religious Litera-
ture,' Philosophical Mystical and
Semi-Religious Literature "Ro-
mantle Literature" and National
Literature Essays, War Songs and
Miscellaneous"
In the first book many of the
Jewels" of the Bible have been
included. Unattached as are these
extracts from the Bible, I found
added beauty to The Song of
Solomon" in this collection.

WHEAT SITUATION
SERIOUSLY ALTERED
BY CROP CONDITION
Bad Outlook In Fields Lends
New Optimism to Confer
ence At London

London, June 27.-tP-What one Of
the big four" chief delegates called
an "act Of providence" has so altered
the wheat situation that the con-
ferees decided Tuesday to wait until
crop prospects are better manifested
before approving or disappearing a
plan to restrict wheat acreage.
Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald,
in an hour-long discussion Of the
problem with the leaders of the big
four" delegations, asked for and re-
ceived information as to the near
breakdown of the negotiations at the
morning session of the conferees. The
big four" are the United States,
Canada, Australia and Argentina. He
called the session because of the
threatened breakdown.
When he received information con-
corning the rise in the price of wheat
on world markets, presumably because
of adverse crop reports. Macdonald
professed satisfaction with the pro-
gress Of the negotiations.

go ahead with their original ar
rangement Of fixing the wheat levy
at a minimum OF 80 cents to go into
effect early next month, probably
July 8.
They have authority to levy q pro-
cesslng tax on wheat used in milling
flour and manufacturing other food
products for human consumption
equal to the difference between the
current farm price" and the par
ity price based on pre-war farm
prices"
On the basis Of price relationships
early in June administrators could
levy tax Of 80 cents bushel. Wheat
acreage plans announced by Secre-
tary Wallace were predicated In part
on an expectation Of tax Of this
amount to finance that program.
Gap Has Narrowed
The rise in wheat prices has mar
rowed the gap between current and
pre-war average farm prices. II this
is recognized it would cut the tax
rate substantially.
There is no provision in the farm
act, in the opinion of administrators
however, which requires Wallace to
use the price relationships of the
last week or two weeks before the
tax goes into effect. Instead he can
use averages for SIX months or any
other period If he desires, they be-
lieve.
It was learned that the announces
ment of the tax may avoid any re-
ference to a specific period on which
the current and pre-war parity"
prices are based.

West Virginia and California voted

overshadowed in interest the fight In
the big state on the west coast.
West Virginia has been dry 20 years
seven years longer than the nation
It is the first state with strong
southern traditions to vote on repeal.
Therefore both vets and drys re-
garded the vote as pivotal one::"
prohibitions foes labored to the last
minute to get out a strong vote; its
friends conducted many prayer meet
ings.
F. Scott Mcbride, superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League, said II West
Virginia voted no; repeal would be
blocked; leaders Of the united repeal
council predicted victory by $4,000 to
100000; drys also predicted triumph.
California voted its own prohibition
law into the discard last November.
Fourteen states have voted to date
on repeal, all In favor Of it.

COld-Bl0c Nations Make
NelU Sterilization Moves
Would Act Irrespective OF Amer
lean Desires or What
Happens to Dollar

London, June 2.-H)-The world
economic conference Tuesday morn
ing was in the throes of fresh dra-
matte development Drecipitated by
the unexpected action of gold-bloc
countries in trying to force European
monetary sterilization irrespective Of
American desires or what happens to
the American dollar.
Representatives of the central banks
|of France, Switzerland, Holland and
Belgium met secretly to perfect planA
which involve forcing Great Britain
to stabilize along with continental
countries.
From this meeting came declara-
ton by one of the conferees that gold
would be defended to the last ditch.
Many observers expressed opinion
that this scheme is, In effect, q chal-
lenge to President Roosevelt's price,
raising program which the gold-bloc
members maintained would force q
depreciation Of their currenices and
would be disastrous.
The bankers decided to ask the
Bank of England to make a declara-
ton to the effect that it would not be
in Great Britain's interest to see con-
tinental currencies deprecated.
Cool Toward Idea
Later it was learned In well-inform-
ed quarters that England had refused
to commit herself to the scheme, view
ing the movement as one designed to
split Britain and America so they
would be unable to deal independents
~ on sterilization. Britain was rep
resented as being DESTROYS Of keeping
her hands free for negotiations with
the United States later.
Finance Minister Georges Bonnet
of France again declared that In the
French view the economic conference
cannot achieve concrete results unless
1t arrives at definite proposals for the
tablishment Of stability In cur
renices.
Dealing with the question Of In
debtedness, which has been under
consideration for several days, Bonnet
said that settlement Of the debts
problem was necessary for bringing
about equilibrium.
Moreover, he continued, this could
not be sought at the expense Of credit
itself.

that they have no intention Of start

what heated discussion" when Ely first
made his protest to Ickes a week ago.
At that time Ely telephoned Ickes
and asked recognition of the authority
Of the Emergency Finance Board, set
up by the Massachusetts, Legislature, to
pass upon the loans.
IckeS answered by letter and said the
Federal Government was committed to
administer the funds itself and could
not delegate its responsibility to any
other agency even though it were a
board set up by State to regulate
municipal finance. He said it was feared
that such a board might possibly be
used for political purposes and he also
said the Federal Government had al
ways dealt directly with municipalities
in establishing its agencies, such as
post Offices.
In his letter today. Ely quoted law
decisions which he said upheld his posi-
ton. assured 1ckeS that the MaSSa-
chusetts board would not use its powers
politically and said that the Federal
agency administering the funds might
open itself to criticism on such grounds
The letter said in part: Il do not
ask for the right to administer any loan
made by the Federal Government to the
municipalities. My request was so sim
pie and fundamental that your blunt
