In the following letter, R.
". Dalziel, member Of the North
Dakota United Farmers League,
gives his solution of the economic
problem with which workers and
farmers are confronted. He points
out hat only complete change of
the system will abolish the rotten
conditions.
Inc letter is answered by Chas.
u. Egley, manager of the Farmers
onlon Livestock Commission. Egg
ley explains that his not advocat-
ing he ownership of the machin-
cry OF production by farmers and
workers has been purely an over
sight" The Farmers Union man
ager says that he agrees with Dal-
zlel's letter 100 per cent.

ROME, April 16.-Tens of mil

cenaturized, will be DESTROYED for
human consumption, it was decided
here today by the World Advisory
Wheat Commission.
IN the face of worldwide hunger
and misery, with actual S arvation
being widespread in all the "civi-

Committee, presided over by the
American Minister John MacMur-

demanding he poisoning Of mil
lions and millions of bushels of
wheat.
"Denaturization," the committee
says, would materially reduce the
world stocks of grain and thus
permit the reaching of firmer
market with higher prices" The
wheat will sill be Every palatable"
for cows and pigs, the committee
states.
The conference was attended by
80 representatives of Is wheat

Wheat Price Drops to Years
Lowest Level

CHICAGO, April 17.-The Chi
cago Board of Trade was in tur-
moil today when grain prices sank
to new levels and the noise became
deafening when wheat reached this
years lowest point.
The gambling manipulations
caused a drop in the price of
wheat of 8 cents during the last
48 hours.
The excitement caused by this
drop among the wheat spectators
will be soothed when they learn of
the efforts of the World Wheat
Committee to bring wheat upon a
''firmer market with higher price,.
/ These gamblers know well enough
who will benefit from higher prices
on a firmer market.

'25-YEAR PLAN
SEEN FOR j. 8.
By international News Service

BY International News Service
President Roosevelt hopes and
believes that much of the long
range economic planning now
being formulated will continue
on a permanent or Semi-perman-
ent basis.
Discussing such projects aS
soil erosion, public works, forest
conservation, reti ement of
marginal land from production,
Slum clearance, ETC., the Pres
ident said he hoped that ulti-
mately it would all take the
form of a 25-year or 5O-year
plan, backed by the Federal Gov
ernment.
Eventually, he added, the Gov
ernment should be able to fin
ance such a program out of cur
rent revenues, instead of by ex-
ira appropriations as at present.
MIR. Roosevelt envisions the
day, probably some years hence,
when the Government can reg
ularly spend from 400 to 500
million dollars a year on such a
program for SOCIOLOGICAL better
ment.
