CROP RESTRICTION
NEEDSARE SHOWN
Farm Administration De.
cIares Itself Armed With
Figures of Proof.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Farm Administration. today
declared itself armed with figures to
prove the necessity for restriction Of
agricultural production.
An intra-departmeht committee
after special sbfdy pointed out
among other thines:
Even during. the 1925-1929 boom
period, when domestic consumption
was high and exports flowed more
freely than today, the United States
was pilipg up as unmarketed surplus
the production from 5000 900 acres.
1882 and 1888 Production.
During 1882 and 1888, when con-
sumption of agricultural products had
decreased and exports had declined
almost to the vanishing point, the
production of 100000 acres was
unmarketable surplus.
II immediate aims are accomplished,
between 25,000.o00 and 10000 900
acres Of cotton, wheat, tobacco and
other products would be taken out Of
production.
During the pre-depression period, the
production OF 299 900 900 out of 356,
600, 900 acres harvested was used for
food products consumed in the United
States.
The production from $4,000, 900
acres was exported and a surplus
from 100000 acres was produced
while the country imported goods
equivalent to the production of T.
100000 foreign acres.
Total Acreage Declines.
During 1882 and 1888 the total
acreage of crops harvested had de-
clined by 2.000,000 acres and the area
required to furnish food and non-
food farm products to domestic con-
sumers had increased to 302, ,000, 900
acres.
II these figures are adjusted to fit
population of 125.000 900 persons
in the Uited States, a total of 316,-
000, 900 acres would be required to
feed them, and furnish them with
cotton clothing and tobacco.
This acreage. however, would still
be $4,000 900 acres in excess of the
acreage in 1925-l929 and $4,000, 900
acres above that cultivated In the past
two years.

DIR. WALSH TRACES
UNREST IN WORLD
Vice President of George
town :, University Opens
Series of Lectures.

Describing the turmoil in widely
separated capitals. DIR. Edmund A.
Walsh, S. j., vice president of George
town University, in the first Of a
series of public lectures on Capital
at the Crossroads" declared last night
that Washington has not escaped the
birth pangs of a new order of
things" which have thrown the world
in state of universal expectancy.
washington" he described as
"hesitating between the Scylla of
endless experimentation and the
charybdis of abrupt dictatorship as
it begins the perilous task of dis
charging 1000, 900 men previously en-
ployed by the C. w. A"
Discusses World Situation.
DR. Walsh discussed the general
world situation as a prelude TO his
general theme and referred to the
uncertainty in the minds Of Euro
pean leaders which the Roosevelt pro-
gram has created. Civilization itself,
he said, Is being tested in the crucible
of time and no one knows what will
become of it here or elsewhere.
That some radically different
form Of social control looms in the
offing would seem to be forecast by
the signs" he added
The several claimants to the va
Gated throne are already knocking
at the gate" he continued. "Will
it be Communism, red in tooth and
claw, that should prevail? Socialism,
as advocated by Norman Thomas
and George Bernard Shaw? Fas-
cism, operating through the Cooper
ative state and the integration Of
industries? Hitlerism, limiting VAL
halla to Ayrians and tall, blond Nor
dies? The resurgent democracy of
Franklin Roosevelt, allied to a chas-
tened and controlled capitalism? Or
perhaps dictatorship in the United
States by the technicians of the
country?
Tells of Warning.
"A spokesman of the administration
has warned us of that possibility
should the Roosevelt program fail"
DR.. Walsh alluded TO the political
situation in the United States, which
he declared represents an interesting
parodox-
orthodox Republicans" he pointed
out. "are protesting against the. Hamil-
tonian policy of highly centralized
government, while the Democrats, now
favoring the GENERALIZATION repudiated
by their jefferson, have kidnapped
Hamilton bag and baggage"
DR.. Walsh'S lectures will continue
for 10 weeks on successive Friday
evenings at $50 o'clock in CASTOR
Hall More than 1000 persons have
enrolled for the course.

President Sacasa's Powers Extended
to Prevent Trouble.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, February "a
PD.-Still under a state of siege"
Managua and the surrounding terri
tory was quiet today. Nothing of the
trouble apparently anticipated by the
government had followed upon the
Staying Of Gen. Augusta Sandino, the
former rebel chief.
Sandino, who caused the American
Government loss of 1873 United States
Marines and several million dollars in
the five-year Nicaraguan campaign.
was killed Thursday by group of
Amerioan-trained National Guards
men, with his brother and two COM
panions.
The Government claimed the Ma
tional Guardsmen acted in spite of
strict instructions to extend complete
guarantees to Sandino. Government
precautions, including the granting of
extraordinary powers to President
Juan B. Sacasa, we're apparently di-
rected against possible retaliation
from Sandino's followers or else politi-
cal troubles.
