(continsed from Page lD and it was further moved at the session that copies be presented to not only tho city's -four legislat- ofs, but also the governor. It will be interesting to note that the re- action of Waterbury's legislators to this action of the younger demo- cratic element of Waterbury.
 Aimon W. spaulding, prominent insurance executive, notified the governor he had written Raymond A. Baldwin, republican house leader that "even republican voters have been known to kick a ma chine to hell if they really get sore."
 Horace D. Taft, head of the Taft school at Watertown, and brother of the late president, has sent a petition to the judiciary committee, signed by vets and drys, repub- licans and democrats, of Water town, supporting the centralized control plan.
 Chief hope of the governor to sblock. the house measure lies with the Senate which has nominal democratic margin of one vote. If the entire democratic membership stood solidly together, the bill would be blocked and the way opened for compromise. In the judgeship appointments however, there was a break in the democrat ic ranks, and it is not known if the governor will get the united sup port of his party in this instance.
 Thursday afternoon the commit tee on forfeited rights will hold hearing on a bill introduced by Rep John D. Thoms seeking res toration of rights to George Gallo convicted in the Waterbury su- perior court of assault with a dangerous weapon.

AngIo-U. S. Pact
On Arms Hinted

LONDON, Sept. 20 G.N.S.)
Intimation that Great Britain and
the United States have reached
a "gentleman's agreement" on
projected supervision Of arma-
ments was given in official quar-
ters today as the cabinet met to
discuss the arms situation.
An effort is being made, it was
said. to reconcile the French atti
tude with the Anglo-American &C.
cord within the framework of a
proposal being laid before the
cabinet by Capt. Anthony Eden,
of the foreign office, for a Eyes
or-no" decision following his con
versationS with French officials
in Paris.
The British position, it was re-
vealed, parallels the American in
that a condition of any acceptance
of supervision of arms control is
that disarmament follows i'm.
mediately at the end of a trial
period. In addition, the extent
and nature of such disarmament
must be agreed upon before the
trial period begins.
It was understood here the
French favor five-year trial

PERIL To NRA

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. 20
GN.S0.-Asserting Gen. Hugh. S.
Johnson is mot so much an ad-
ministrator as an evangelist" "
Phillip Cabot, utilities manage
ment professor at the Harvard
Business School, warned in the
Yale Review today that the ma
tional recovery program will be
wrecked unless demand for COM
modities continues while prices are
rising.
Cabot said a critical review of
NRA convinces him the movement
is a truce" in solution of economic
problems. If Johnson's "evangel-
ism" fails, the movement for re-
covery also will fail, he declared.
He added:
"A rise in price commonly
operates to reduce demand"
He said that to insure NRA
success, demand must rise even
faster than prices.
Trouble will come, in Cabot's
opinion, not from large industries,
but from heads Of small enter
prises "unaccustomed to coopera-
tion." He said:
"The NRA'S whole purpose
runs counter to our most cher.
iShed notions. If the policy

DISARMAMENT
BY STAGES IS
PARIS PLAN
U.S., Britain, Italy Seen Ready
To Agree; Present Control
Cited as Basis

PARIS, Sept. 20 Q.N.SJ.-An
agreement on disarmament by
stages is the chief feature Of the
arms plan presented by France to
Great Britain in the hope Of halt.
ing German rearmament, Inter-
national News Service learned
today.
The plan was placed in the
hands of Capt. Anthony Eden of
the British Foreign Office by
French Spokesmen. The British
Cabinet is considering the plan
today.
One Year, or Four
The main points of the plan
are:
l. Institution of control of
the present state Of armaments
as the basis for future dis
armament.
2. Disarmament by stages
agreed to now and inserted in a
formal convention.
Whether disarmament will be-
gin in a year, as Britain wishes,
or within four years as France
proposes, is being left open for
further argument.
u. S. Seen Agreeable
France considers she has made
a concession in offering to agree
upon disarmament by stages at
the present time.
If the British agree, it is ex-
pected here that the United
States and Italy will also fall in
line, making it difficult for Ger
many to refuse preliminary con-
troll.

PRICE RISE NEAR
FOR PRODUCTS,
He BELIEVES
To Come in Few Months,
Maybe Few Weeks, He Says
In Warning InfIationists

CHICAGO, Sept. 20 G.N.SO.-
Higher agricultural prices are due
In few months, perhaps in few
weeks, Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace said was his opinion to-
day as he addressed the grain
dealers association.
Wallace cautioned price fixers
and inflationists to give heed to
the long look ahead. He predict
ed they would have great power
next winter in the coming Con-
gress IF the purchasing power of
farm products does not improve
during the next three months" :"
In that case, he said, there will
be passed legislation which will
make the agricultural adjustment
act seem tame.
Warns Against Rush
Wallace referred to the present
move of American cotton growers
and Midwest farmers to have the
Administration peg prices and
warned against attempts of too
rapid economic improvement. He
said:
"ThiS Improvement, while it
may expand for a year or two
with only temporary Setbacks,
will come to sad end if we are
not prepared to meet the peril
produced by the following
forces:
81. America is a creditor ma
tiOn to the tune of a billion dol
lars annually, but as a nation
she has debtor psychology.
"2. Democrats and RepubIi-
cans alike are still essentially
high tariff in their attitude.
Reciprocal tariff agreements
may be negotiated, but the in
crease in foreign purchasing
power resulting thereby will not
be sufficient to enable foreign
countries to pay q satisfactory
price for our surplus wheat and
cotton unless the attitude of the
American people and American
Congressman changes very radi-
cally.
U. S. DISILLUSIONED
"3. The American people are
disilluSi0ned about lending
money abroad, and it will be
difficult to float foreign loans
in their present temper.
"TheSe three forces mean
that for the present our people
are profoundly natiOnalistic and
that as long as they are opera
ting on this basis, we should go
at it whOleheartedly to put our
internal economy on a nation
alistic basis, reducing our crop
land acreage by 40,OOO,OOO acres.
This is what we are now doing.
'But, unfortunately, this kind
Of program in action also
will sooner or later provoke
tremendously the prejudices Of
the rank and file of our people
unless not only the farmers, but
also the city consumers as well,
know why we are doing this
kind of thing"
Fears Loans Abroad
The Secretary Of Agriculture
continued:
"T am hoping that we will
not be forced to retire COM
pIetely from the foreign market
with our farm products but that
instead, and before long. we will
be able to some extent to pick
out vast quantities of foreign
goods which we in the United
States will be willing to accept.
II am hoping even that in
time we will be willing again
to lend money abroad, but l
am terribly frightened about the
lending of money abroad unless

COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 90
Our bus, which had been speed
ing Southwark through the heat
and dust Of a Carolina September
afternoon, halted suddenly near a
lonely gas station to admit a
man who, I was to learn. repre-
sented the South's most perplex-
ing problem under the new deal.
He had nothing to do with
child labor and he was not a
negro. He was a tenant farmer.
Driver Optimistic
I talked with the bus driver
long enough to learn that he can
be as talkative as a New York
taxicab driver.
Only he wasn't cynical. He was
enthusiastic, and his enthusiasm
dealt with the new events in his
life, as directed from Washington.
He told how early in January he
had received a cut in wages-his
second. Now he was getting it all
back-and more-in a raise.
The bus stopped to admit the
tenant farmer" It was hard to
judge his age, probably between
35 and 40. He hadn't had a hair
cut, it appeared, for weeks, though
he was shaved.
He carried a fading brown card
board suitcase and an enormous
bag in which I learned, were
stuffed all his worldly belongings
including bedding, cooking uten'
sils, and even a folding chair!
He didn't say a word during all
the two hours between the time
he arrived on the bus and when
he got apologetically out at a
farmhouse.
Borders on Serfdom.
But I learned about him and all
his kind a day later from a
farmer.
The tenant farmer is the "poor
white" of the South. He is, for
the most part, a s.liftless, ire
sponsible, ignorant individual and
these traits have made of him
something closely approaching a
serf.
This is how the average tenant
farmer works: Penniless, with
only his few belongings, he goes
to a planter and asks for some
thing to do.
He is given, say, 20 acres to
work. He is staked for grub and
lodging and is assured one-third
of all he earns-above expenses
"above expenses" represents the
joker in his case. A year later he
finds that his "one-third" dosen't
even take care of the food and
lodging allowed him during the
past IL months. He never
catches up.
Hate Seethes In Him
In him boil unrest and even
hate. To him has been ascribeo
the cause of most of the lynchings
in the South.
Remember that the South is al
most entirely a "farmer-tenanted'
country. The new deal comes
along, throws thousands of ne
groes out Of work, since the
white man wants the new high
wages. The negro is best adapted
to farming. So frequently the
farmer tenant" is thrown Out
to make way for the negro.
What Is going to happen tc
him? They are not sure dowr
this way. They are afraid ot
him, though. I can't get out Of
my head what the bus driver said
to me as my companion got out
at the cotton farm:
There'S the kind of a guy
that's going to cause trouble
down this way-that is, if he
hasn't caused enough already"
