NATIVE SONS
ENDORSE. BANK
ESSAY PLANS

Endorsement of Bank of Amer
ica's $4,000 scholarship contest
and high praise for the motives
behind the competition are con-
tanned in letter by Emmett Sea-
well, grand president of the Native
Sons of the Golden West, to the
grand officers and members of
subordinate parlors.
The Bank of America has made
most magnanimous offer to the
youth of California in scholarships
and cash awards for these who
will give the best answer to the
question, What Will America Be
Like In l964?' Seawell's letter says.
1T is my purpose to bring this
contest to the attention of our
membership, through our subor-
dinate parlors.
THE purpose of this plan is to
arouse new spirit of interest ond
patriotism, for the continued safe
ey and development of our United
States of America. The event also
is in commemoration of the thir-
tieth anniversary of the Bank of
America, and no finer spirit of
patriotism and loyalty to the nation
could be manifested than the work
which the Bank has undertaken,
at the outlay of large sum of
money and much time, in kindl-
ing anew the spirit of patriotism
and good citizenship in the youth
of the land.
THE purpose motivating the
benefactors of this plan will surely
commend itself to every right
thinking American. 1t, therefore,
has the approval and endorsement
OF our organization.
Il trust that the members of
our order will inform their own
sons and daughters and others of
the magnanimous opportunity which
has been offered to them to gain in
a very useful way, a prize that
will be worth while"

WHEAT CONTRACT AGREEMENT Is
OPENED TO INCLUDE 1882 CROP

The wheat grower who had no
wheat in 1923 to 1881 but who
grew some harvest in 1882 and
1888 now has a chance to come
into the wheat adjustment pro-
gram with an attractive acreage
allotment, according to word re-
ceived at the farm advisors Of
flee at Ell Centro. His benefit pay
ments, however, will be less than
those for the grower who had
wheat two or more of the base
years.
The 1882 wheat grower, who
planted within 25 per cent of the
same acreage to wheat for har-
vest in 1888, can now sign a con-
tract on the following basis:
l. His base acreage shall be his
acreage planted to wheat for har-
vest in 1892. He can grow up to
85 per cent of that base for har-
vest in 1884.
2. His base production shall be
his adjusted 1882 production decid-
ed by five.
8. His benefit payments will be
paid on 54 per cent of his base
production.
4. He will get both installments
on his 1888 payments and all his
1884 and 1895 payments.
To give an example, man had
no wheat in 1923 to 1881, but 100
acres in 1882 and 80 acres in 1888.
His base acreage is 100. His base
production is 100 times his yield
per acre, divided by five and sub
ject to adjustment. If his 1882
yield per acre was 1900 pounds
which is equivalent to 25 bushels,
his adjustment base production
would be $500 bushels, divided by
five or 500 bushels His payments
are based upon 54 per cent of 500
or 270 bushels At 26 cents per
bushel net for 1888 payments this

TAKAHASH| FEARS
RIVALRY IN ARMS
Japanese Finance Minister
Does Not See War Scare
in 1856.
BY REGINALD swEETLAND.

By hEGlNALD ShE6 ALAND'
By Radio to The Star.
TOXIC, Japan, February 1.-THE
so-called crisis of 1885 does not
mean fear of war, but fear that the
developments of those years might lead
to an unlimited armament rivalry
among the powers" japanese Finance
Minister Korekiyo Takahashi told the
House of Peers today when introduc-
ing the largest budget in Japan'S his
tory. totaling 2.112.133.482 yen.
This budget already has passed the
House of Representatives, or the Diet.
and. though some caustiC comments
may be forthcoming from the upper
house. nobody here expects definite
opposition to it.
Normality Soon Not Expected.
The main opposition can be epito-
mized II remarks from the very mem
bers of that body that, in compiling
the budget. too much Importance was
attached to, balancing it at the eX-
pense of the policy of promoting ma
tional development; in other words,
defense is too costly.
Takahashi, answering his opponents,
declared:
Every nation is striving to the ut
most to develop new inventions and
improvements on military equipment.
Competition in this line is carried on
without limit. 1t is impossible to ex-
pect to bring Japan's military budget
to normal in the very near future
Fears Harmful Initiation.
Concerning finance, he stated that,
unless all nations were conciliatory it
would be impossible to stabilize the
world currencies. He declared that
the United States and Great Britain
were preoccupied with adjusting their
domestic economic conditions, leaving
little hope Of world Stabilization or of
q revival of economic prosperity.
He failed to see how stability was
possible without settling the war debts
and indemnitieS problem. The minis
ter foreshadowed a policy of contin-
ued issuance of ''red-hgured national
bonds but warned that, unless these
were absorbed. harmful imitation must
result. He saw no other way of en-
couraging economic and industrial
conditions than such governmental
stimulation as bond issues.
