PERHAPS THEY'LL NEVER
KNOW-WHO KNOWS?


By George Gould Hne.
Out of the clear skies of those
days before the depression, when
Herbert sat on high Olympus, bask-
ing in the glory of eternal prosper
ity, picking chickens for the pots
of the rugged, there issued from an
assembly of the gods, known as the
Basic committee, representing the
chief central banks of the world
and presided over by representatives
of the federal reserve system of the
United States, a warning in the
nature of a thunderbolt, as follows:
High tariffs are everywhere put
ting obstacles in the way of the
movement of goods they cause
movements of capital to throw the
worlds financial balance out of
equilibrium the progress of
civilization depends upon their re-
moval upon the governments of
the world rests the responsibility"
Did the governments listen? No,
they we're all flag wavers; they de-
fed the lightning, like Ajax, and
they all stand today surrounded by
wild beasts; throwing the beasts
food, because they know the beasts
are only waiting for them to stop,
to tear them limb from limb.
On Tuesday an Indianapolis news
paper stood up as Ajax, to defy its
own gods, the bankers. 1t positive
ly denied that high tariffs had
caused or prolonged the depression.
1t demanded of the administration
the unspeakable idiocy of reducing
our tariffs, without like concessions
from foreign countries, just to prove
to the people that it wanted tar
ifs reduced.
And of all the Ajaxes throughout
the world, ours are the only ones
who denounce the feeders of the
beasts. They fear nothing but
higher taxes. They know nothing
but balance the budget" And they
never will-absolutely nothing.

was in all other towns. When these
Whizbang go-getters show us that
they can put all of our unemployed
to work with wages sufficient to con-
sumo the products they create, then
there will be plenty of time for dis
cussing the dropping of any assist
ance the government has given to
those who were treated like outcaSts
Of society by our super business
brains.
The brain trust just had to func-
ton because of a lack of brains in
the heads of these would-be leaders.
When we hire a congressman to
represent us we will get one who is
willing to listen as we'll as talk?

DIGEST POLL RAPED
BY TIMES READER
BY William Post.

By William Post.
After listening to the radio, it
strikes me that the Republican cam
paign committeeman must have run
short of material, since they find it
necessary to resort to the telling of
bedtime stories about the Big Bad
Wolf in an effort to attract votes.
They seem to forget that the per-
sons who ordinarily might be en-
raptured by such fairy tales will not
be eligible to vote for a number
Of years.
Let me take this occasion to add
my name to the growing list of per-
sons who received ballots in the
Literary Digest poll last spring, but
who failed to receive any this fall.

lican administration is better for
them than IS to IS cents for corn
and IS cents to $1.05 for wheat I'M
der the New Deal. The different
codes under the present administra-
ton are harmful to certain bust
nesses, so some speakers said.
We would not have needed the
codes had it not been for the Hard
ing, Coolidge and Hoover code, with
Andrew Mellon the administrator,
and with the flexible tariff he could
whisper in the ear of the President
that he wished the tariff pushed up
10 or 20 per cent on aluminium. OF
course, the President used decorum
and said nothing, and that may be
the reason they called him Silent
Cal" But the tariff went up and
again the peopl2 fell easy prey. So,
good people, next Tuesday, when
you go to cast your vote, think of
the H. c. H. code and the misery
caused to millions of people under
their rule and you will give indorse-
ment to our amiable President
Roosevelt by voting the straight
Democratic ticket.

ROME, April IA frontal attack
on low wheat prices through mini
mum export quotations and limita-
tions on amounts entering world trade
was mapped today by the Interna-
tional Wheat Advisory Commission.
Delegates from six leading produc-
ing nations participated in the price
discussions and were described by
Andrew Cairns, secretary Of the COM
mittee. as generally sympathetic"
although differing on the means to
gain the desired end
Two major plans were proposed: A
definite price agreement for each
grade Of wheat and -four. and the
indirect method of adjusting export
quotas so the supply will always be
just little below the demand from
importing countries.
American representatives held to
the belief that an international agree
ment to reduce acreage should pre-
cede any price accord, since the latter
might make acreage cuts impossible.
Along with proposals to cut green
wheat for fodder, treat wheat chemi-
cally so it can be used for animal
feed but not for bread, and withdraw
low quality wheat from markets-all
designed to limit the supply-atten-
ton was paid today to a suggestion
for an International agreement for
the reduction Of the percentage Of
-four extracted from the cereal.

|ARMS CONCESSION
|BY FRENCH H|NTED
Note to British Is Believed
to Convey Change in
Attitude.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 7.-British dis
armament hopes were buoyed today
by the receipt Of French note which
is understood to imply that Franc
now is willing to talk turkey" about
an agreement envisaging the con-
trolled rearmament Of Germany.
While the French communication
was not made public, 1t was learned
that France recognizes the disarma-
ment ground is shifting and is pre-
pared to carry on discussions based
on this new concept.
An exploration of possibilities for
a new arms convention on an altered
basis, however, was predicated on the
understanding that the ultimate de-
cision must be taken by the World
Disarmament Conference as a whole.
Further Exchanges Promised.
The note implied further communi-
cations will ensue. These were ex-
pected to put squarely up to Great
Britain certain points, involving par
ticularly the question Of guarantees
France seeks to insure against viola
tionS of a disarmament pact.
Sir John Simon. the British foreign
secretary, studied the French aide
memoire today. 1t was an answer to
London's inquiries as to the desires
of France in the matter of economic,
political and military guarantees and
penalties against an aggressor.
Controlled Rearmament Plan.
The note indicated that the new
viewpoint in attacking the arms prob
lem should be the controlled rearma-
ment of Germany rather than
Frances assumption that other pow
ers' ornaments should be reduced TO
Germany's arms level. which was
dictated by the Versailles treaty.
1t was considered merely an ad
interim reply, and the British Govern
ment was understood to be awaiting
a further note before answering the
present communication.
Since France hitherto has refused
to countenance any German rearma-
ment the new turn of events was said
to have given great satisfaction in
British quarters.

EXTRADITION REQUEST
PUZZLES WISCONSIN
State Appeals to Washington as
French Ask for Soldier
Of Fortune.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MADISON. Wis, April THE
State government does not know what
to do about the request of the French
government for the extradition of
Charles Drossner, soldier of fortune,
now confined at Waupun Prison, and
has appealed to Washington officials
for advice.
Ward Rector, secretary to Gov. A.
@. Schmedeman. recently received a
letter from the French consul asking
that Drossner be turned over to face
charges Of passing fraudulent ma
tional defense bonds in 1928.
Rector gave the letter to Attorney
General James e. Finnegan for ad-
vice on the procedure involved. The
attorney general made an investiga-
that Drossner, in his opinion, should
be extradited to France.
However, the mere letter Of re-
quest was not construed by the Gov
ernor's office as q formal application
for extradit:on and it was agreed that
Finnegan should communicate with
Federal officials.
The case was further complicated
by the fact that Drossner's applica-
ton for pardon from Waupun comes
before Gov. Schmedeman next month.
Drossner is serving q term for al
legged forgery at Milwaukee.
