Moscow-UP)-The new Russia suddenly has re-discovered Shake speare.
 Tn the Soviet theater this for mally has been designated a Shakespeare season" with half a dozen of the foremost Moscow and Leningrad theaters already show ing, or rehearsing Shakespearean plays.
 Paper Pats Producers
 An entire issue of the official or- gan of the arts sector of the com missariat of education, Soviet Art", recently was given over to the discovery. It pats producers of Shakespeare pieces so hard on the back that many of other the- aters are certain to fall into line. An admittedly acute shortage of plays make the adoption of the English playwright by the prole- tarian state that much more time- ly. Shakespeare, moreover, never demands royalties.
 Far from frowning on capitalist classics, as was the fashion in the infancy of the Russian revolution, they now are taken over as part of the appropriated wealth" of the old system.
 Right of Heritage "The proletariat enters upon its rights of heritage" is the conclud- ing phrase in the leading editorial in Soviet Art urging the produc- tion and study of Shakespeare.
 Before the Soviet theater," the editorial declares, Islands a task of hOnor-to free Shakespeare from all sorts of idealistic and for malistic slag, to restore to him his social significance of his dramatur-

PRINCESS MUST SAIL OVER SEAS AND ALL ALONE
Wealthy Barbara Hutton and Her Prince Still
 Are Separated

San Francisco, Jan 10.-CUP)- The wealthy Barbara Hutton, poor little princess whose honey moon a Los Angeles process-serv- CT interrupted, was reconciled to- day to the fate which decreed that she and her husband, Prince Alexis Mdivani, would cross the Pacific ocean separately to meet again in Yokohoma, Japan.
 Naturally I'm terribly disap- pointed" said the heriess of the Woolworth millions when informed that her husband, lodging q subpoena had booked accommoda- tions on the N. Y. K. liner Hikawa Maru, sailing to-day from Seattle direct to Yokohoma.
 She will follow one day later, in the lonesome splendor of the royal suite" she and the prince had booked on the Tatsuta Maru when they planned their delayed honeymoon trip to the Orient.
 The Prince and Barbara were on their way to sail together on the Tatsuta Maru, on which they had reserved one-half of exclusive "C' deck, when word reached them that Harry Owens, Los Angeles process server, was awaiting Mdivani's ap- pearance in California. The Prince detoured by plane to Seattle.

FOURTEEN YEARS AGO THE LEAGUE
 CAME TO LIFE
Birthday Is Observed But Without Any Great
 Celebration

Geneva, Jan 10.-(UP)-The league of nations, conceived by Woodrow Wilson and organized in the vengeful atmosphere of the wars end observed it's 14th birth day today.
 It was an observance rather than celebration. Germany and Japan gave notice of withdrawal during the year. Its disarmament efforts were at 8 deadlock. On the desk of the general secretary was a re- port from a league commission that it's efforts to halt the worlds only official war-between Bolivia and Paraguay-had failed.
 Many believed that the league had spent it's last year in it's pres ent form. Premier Benito Mus solini of Italy, is sponsor of a move to revise it's covenant to make it more attractive to nations like the United States, Russia, and Ger many, which still is smarting un- der the war penalties the leagues covenant imposed.
 Despite all this, Joseph Avenol, the leagues new secretary, general, showed no spirit of depression. OA LIl0 OCCdSlOu Ol lA0 14LH anniversary of the league it is heartening to observe that the in- stitution is not one to which people or statesmen are indifferent" he said.
 In the IA years since the league took it's being with the exchange of notifications at Paris of the Yer sailles treaty, it has had successes and failures-notable successes in official activities such as its anti narcotic activities and notable fail- ures in diplomacy.
 In diplomacy the league has suc- ceeded in overaweing some little warlike nations. With larger ones it has not been successful in such instances as Poland's refusal to turn Wilma over to Lithuania de- spite league ruling and Japan's refusal to return Manchuria to China.
 League supporters blame it's fan- ure on the absence of such great nations as the United States and Soviet Russia. They hope that some day. in some form, it will be worldwide and an irresistible power for peace.

to the stock, Lindbergh was paid S10,00O per year as compensation for services as chairman of the air lines technical committee.
 Chairman Black of special senate Investigating committee, charged to-day that "every inde- pendent air company in the United states" was prevented from obtain ing air mail contracts from the postoffice department in 1880 be- cause of a ruling by former Post master General Walter F. Brown which required night flying.
 Black said advertisements for bids contained night flying quail 1ications, and added that under the ruling only one company could ob- tain mail contract. That concern, he said, was the Transcontinental and Western Air.
 He charged that night flying qualifications were discussed and decided upon at conferences be- tween Brown and VIVA officials.
 D. M. Sheaffer, chief of passen- ger transportation for the Penn- sylvania railroad, admitted the qualifications were discussed with Brown. hr

land one-third billions, a 25 per cent increase over 1892. Farm prices have shown substantial improve ment, averaging 71 per cent of pre- war on November 15, as compared with 54 g. year ago and with the low point of 49 in February of this year. This means an increase of 45 per cent in a period of nine months.
 The problems of agriculture are principally two: first, low prices, which at times have barely covered production costs of even the most efficient producers; and, secondly, the disparity between prices re- ceived by the farmer and prices paid by him for the things he buys.
 Summing ups the agricultural operating statement for the year, we find an increase in farm gross income slightly in excess of one billion dollars, of4which about ten per cent is accounted for by gov- ernment cash benefits for acreage reduction. On the expense side of the income account, the 1898 crop year will show, exceptionally low production costs. Pressure to re- duce local taxes has also resulted in substantial improvement in that phase of the farmers overhead expenses. Machinery for the ad- justmcnt of farm mortgage in- tedness-which, as a matter of fact, has never been dispropor- tionately heavy--is now operative, with the result that this phase of the farmers burden has for the most part likewise been provided for.
 AS a result, sentiment in the principal farming areas is prob ably better to-day than at any time in the past three years.
 Reverting now to the second major problem of agriculture, the disparity in the purchasing power of farm crops, we find that on November 15 the price of things bought by farmers was IF per cent of pre-war, as compared to 71 per cent for prices received for their crops. Thus, the ratio of prices paid was 61, compared with 71 in July and 49 in Febru- ary. Between February and Mo- vember, there has been a 25 per cent improvement in the farmers relative purchasing power.
 There still is a long way to go to reach a theoretical parity of 100 per cent for this ratio, and as compared with July some ground has been lost. But 1t cannot be emphasized too strongly that monetary problems have no rela- tionship to the relative purchas- ing power of farm crops; all of the emphasis placed upon so- called inflationary measures ad- vanced in the interest of agri- culture has solely to do with prices received by the farmer for his crops. The farmer has noth- ing to gain from extreme infla- tion, which would not improve the relative position of the farmer.
 Meanwhile, the farmers best interests will be served by putting the maximum amount of ingenu- ity and. anergy into the task of reopening foreign markets for American crops. High tariffs and drastic trade regulations continue to exert an adverse influence. While trying to reopen old mar kets let us try to find others. Academic discussion of 8 policy of self-containment is a waste of time, for we have by no means demonstrated that we can effec- tually curtail production in the presence of a rising price level.

THREE COUNTRIES MAY LEAD WORLD
 ECONOMY PLANS
U. S., Great Britain, and Russian Proposed to
 Head Program
BY H. l.. PERCY United Press StafR Correspondent)

NOHAUCU. GACSS 0b1A OOkAOSPOAHAOnUJ
 London, Jan 10 = (UP) "A world plan of economic reconstruc- tion, with the United States, Great Britain and Russia as leaders, was offered to statesmen today by H G. Wells, novelist and prophet.
 Visualizing the great countries as hindering, not aiding, the pro- cess of recovery by mutually in- imical individual effort, Wells sug- gested 8 great planning board which he called "the trade and money board" formed along the lines of the MIRA and coordinating the work of improving the lot ot the ordinary man.
 Wells described his plan in a speech last night. He took as his subject, "Whither Britain?" His answer to his own question was that "whither' was toward catas- trophe. He included with Britain all of mankind.
 "Efforts to avert economic break down are not being made by the little sham world parliament at Geneva" he said, "but by the United States and Russia, and to q lesser extent by Great Britain.
 "At present the disastrous diff ference in what the British, the Roosevelt, the Soviet Russian and other economic systems are doing is that we are all making trouble for each other and wrecking ether countries plans.
 Although the failure of MT Rooseve1t's heroic effort to rally American economic life would mean disaster for the world, there is not the slightest sign of any real attempt on the part of responsible leaders to cooperate with him or understand his methods.
 Bold and great as his schemes are. I do not believe he can carry them out if he has to carry them out in the United States alone."
 Wells proposed that America and Britain first, as an English speak ing system, and then few other great economic systems such as I:ussia's, merge control of econ- omic reconstruction under a great planning board"
 He urged that Britain lead the awy to comprehending and aiding the American "eXperiment," and then to comprehend Russia's aims.
 Though he spoke gloomily, as usual, of the trend of the world, he said he did not fear the col lapse of civilization.

 guarantee would put the farm bonds on a par with treasury securities.
 Conceding that technical re- responsibilities of the government" would be increased by $2,00O,000,- 900 if the federal guarantee were authorized, MT Roosevelt urged that it was desirable formally to acknowledge the obligation already existing on the government to make up any deficiency in the prin- cipal sum of the bonds.
 The last sentence of /the brief message emphasized that if the bonds were guaranteed they would be backed not only by the credit of the government but by the physical property securing them.
 The message did not recommend similar guarantee for bonds of the home owners loan corporation although MT Roosevelt revealed last week that they might be in- cluded. Congressional leaders also had understood that some action would be taken toward guarantee of the latter category of securities. A federal guarantee would not increase the national debt by $2,- O,OO0,00O or add to the immedi- ate deficit prospect. It would, how ever, increase the national debt liability, a potential obligation. Text of Message Washington, Jan 10.-UP)- The text of President Roosevelt's farm credit message to congress follows:
 To the Congress-:
 I have already suggested to the congress that one of our tasks, in the light of experience, is to im- prove and perfect previous legis- lation.
 now recommend that tho emer. gency farm credit act of 1888 be amended to provide responsibility by tho government for the pay. mont of the principal of, as well as interest on, bonds issued.
 Two billion dollars of bonds were authorized. While tho interest was guaranteed, the ultimate obil- gatien Of tho government for pays mont of tho principal was not iegals Iy assumed.

 and the prison chaplain. News of the execution was un-
 expected. It had been reported es
 late as last night that the sen- tence would be commuted. Nazi leaders put responsibility for the death decision upon aged President Paul Won Hindenburg. It was said that Hindenberg, af- ter examining a report by the Ger
 man ministry of justice. refused
 clemency, which only he could grant as the sentence was decreed by the supreme court. This report was considered to
 overshadow the plea by Queen Wilhelmina, appeals by members of Lubbe's family, and the con- demned mans record which showed him to have been a former inmate of a home for incorrigible
 children.
 Refusing the ministrations of a
 chaplain, Lubbe was led out of his cell at daybreak and mounted the steps of the guillotine stolidly. He
 stood hanging his head, as usual,
 while the verdict of the court was read to him a second time. "Have you any last words?" asked Prosecutor Werner. "No," mumbled Lubbe, shaking his head.
 Werner turned to Heinrich Goerdeleh, the Magdeburg execu- tioner, who beheaded six commun- ists at Dusseldorf December 30, and said firmly:
 'Executioner, do your duty" Execution of Lubbe left four fel- low defendants in the Reichstag trial under detention though they were acquitted of complicity An the arson when Lubbe was convicted December 23.

 In addition to this, the code has made it possible for industry as a whole, under guidance of the presi- dent, to regulate it's activities in such manner as to supply demands of consumers at a reasonable price and yield to the industry a reason- able profit.
