Pierre Laval, Foreign Minister Of
France. designed to curb political
terrorism and appease Jugoslayia.
After a direct personal attack on
Thor Eckhardt, Hungarian dele
gate. Titulescu definitely linked
revisionism with terrorism, despite
the statement on Saturday of
Baron Pompeo A1oisi of Italy that
they are not connected.
ITO me-" he said, "revisionism
and terrorism are not entirely dis
tinct. There is between them a
parentage which unites father and
child"
He reaffirmed the contention Of
Laval and Eduard Benes of Czeeho-
slovakia that the revisionist cam
paign violates article ten of the
league covenant which binds the
council to protect nations from ag-
gression. .
at is deeply illegal and con-
trary to article ten to compromise
by propaganda the territorial in
tegrity and political independence
of a nation" he declared.
Titulescu's speech was described :
by league members as one of the
most violent ever delivered before
the council.
He frequently shouted towards
the galleries to stress his criticism
of Hungary and shook his finger
menacingly across the table to
! Eckhardt.
BELGRADE, Jugoslavia, Dec. 10
UP}-Manifesto ordering 2,500,00O
men to take the oath Of loyalty to
11-year-old King Peter were post
ed in the streets today and were
regarded by many as trial mobi-
lization plan.
The order came as the govern
ment announced that expulsion Of
Hungarians had ceased.
The 2,500,000 = out of a total
population of 4000,000-are army
reservists between the ages of %
and SO and soldiers of the regular
army.
They must take the oath by next
Sunday, the day before the ami
versary of the birth of King Alex
ander, Peters father, whose assassi-
nation led to the Jugoslavian-
Hungarian crisis.
The reservists must go to desig-
mated military centers to take the
oath and thus will give an idea of
mobilization possibilities.
BELGRADE, JugoSlavia, Dec. 10.
U.P)-The little entente and the
Balkan entente plan to denounce
commercial treaties with Hungary
and expel all Hungarians from their
territory if the League of Nations

leave the League of Nations has
been considered but was abandon

WINDSOR, N. c.. February IT.
The temporary receivership Of the
Henderson properties of the Carolina
Telephone & Telegraph Co. was va
Gated here yesterday by Judge Clay
ton Moore on agreement by the city
Of Henderson and the telephone COM
pany
The action was taken after attor-
neys for both sides in the dispute
agreed to the move at a conference
and decided to fight out points at
issue in the condemnation action in
stituted in Vance Superior Court by
the city of Henderson.
At the same time he vacated the
receivership, Judge Moore issued or
ders requiring the telephone company
to give service to the city and re-
straining the city from enforcing an
ordinance fining the telephone COM
pany $50 q day for each day Of op-
Grafton after It's franchise expired.
The temporary receivership was
granted by Judge Henry A. Grady
February l after the city had been
without telephone service for 81
hours.
The controversy grew out of pas
sage by the City Council of ordi-
nances requiring the telephone COM
pany to pay an annual $4,000 fee
for the franchise privilege and to
place its wires on principal streets
underground. The telephone COM
pany declined to meet the require

ADAPTIBILITY PRAISED
AS AIM OF EDUCATION

Children should be educated so as
to be able to meet changing condi-
tions and not for any specific aim in
life, DR.. J. S. Plant, director Of the
Essex County, N. j., Juvenile Clinic,
declared in an address to $50 volun-
teer social workers at the United
States Chamber of Commerce yester-
day. Mrs. Harold G. Moulton pre-
sided.
DR.. Plant contended conditions are
changing more rapidly today than
ever before. Some persons, he said,
are arguing for a return to old meth
DDS because they are afraid of change.
Others are trying to figure out what
will be happening 20 years from now
and are trying to gauge their actions
accordingly.
Both these ideas are wrong" Dr.
Plant insisted. THE proper way to
meet changing times is to prepare in
dividuals for changes. Equip them as
best we may for what life may bring
and they will meet the changes as
they come"
He added that social workers must
know more about themselves and
about their clients. There should be
more teaching of what to do and less
of what not to do, he argued.

so MILLION IN GOLD
LANDS IN NEW YORK
Liner Volendam, Due Today, Will
Bring In 25 Million
More.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
approximately $4,000 900 worth Of
gold arrived in New York yestrday in
shipments aboard the Europa and the
Paris. The Volendam was due today
with about s25,OOO0oO more and with
in the next 10 days a dozen liners are
scheduled to bring in an additional
slOO 600 900.
Truck men who conveyed the boxes
containing the metal between the
ships and the assay Office were buster
than in weeks and expected to have a
prosperous period during the next
fortnight. Police and special guards
also had a strenuous day, as gaurds
we're necessary not only on the
armored trucks, but at the steamship
piers and in the vicinity of Wall Street
where the Assay Building is located
Ten police cruising cars formed a
moving convoy along the route and
traffic in some intersections was di-
verted until the movement was over.
The gold, consigned to about Is New
York banks and financial institutions,
was purchased in London. Amsterdam,
Paris. some of it even in India, for
considerably less than S35 an ounce
for which it will be sold to the United
States Treasury.
The steady decline Of the dollar in
foreign exchange markets where the
last few days cut down the margin of
profit available on such transactions,
and reports from Europe indicate the
feverish pace of gold purchasing
operations has somewhat slackened as
a result.

PRESIDENT BACKS
COTTON CONTROL
Indorses Principle of Bank
head Bills to Curb
Production.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt today indorsed
the principle of the Bankhead bills
for compulsory control of cotton.
In letter to Chairman Jones Of
the House Agriculture Committee, the
President said his STUDY of the vari-
GUS methods" of dealing with the cot
ton situation led him to believe the
Bankhead bills in principle best cover
the situation"
Hopes for Action.
II hope" the President wrote, "that
In the continuing emergency your
committee can take action"
The Bankhead bills. introduced by
the Senator from Alabama and his
brother in the House, would limit this
years cotton crop to 9,500.000 bales
and place a heavy tax on all cotton
sold in excess of that limit
The letter from the President said:
My dear Mr.. Chairman:
"As you know, have watched the
cotton problem with the deepest at
tention during all these months. I
believe that the gains which have
been made-and they are very sub
stantial-must be consolidated and, in
so far as possible, made permanent.
To do this, however, reasonable as
surance of crop limitation must be
obtained.
Control Believed Favored.
"In this objective, the great ma
jority Of cotton farmers are in agree
ment. I am told that the recent poll
by the Department of Agriculture
shows that at least 95 per cent of the
replies are in favor of some form of
control.
My study Of the various methods
suggested leads me to believe that
the Bankhead bills in principle best
cover the situation. I hope that in
the continuing emergency your COM
mittee can take action.
"Very sincerely yours,
'FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT"

DIARIES FACING
UTILITY STATUS
Senate Committee to De.
eide Fate of Washington
Milk Shed.

Whether the Washington dairy in
dustry will be placed under public
utility restrictions may be decided
next week when the Senate District
Committee holds meeting to COM
promise divergent views of the local
milk situation.
Senators McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada and Austin, Republican, OF
Vermont are in favor of setting up
milk control board to regulate pro-
ducer and consumer prices, They, to-
sether with Chairman King Of the
District Committee, composed the sub
committee which conducted an eight
month inquiry into the dairy bust
ness here.
Senator King, however, has stated
repeatedly he was opposed to making
milk a public utility and for that rea-
son the tentative report of the sub
committee, drafted by Committee
Counsel Elwood H. Seal did not con-
tain a recommendation for creation
Of a milk control board.
Recommended in Letter.
Seal did recommend such board
be created, however, in a letter sub
rnitted to committee members along
with copies of the tentative report. In
his Judgment, he said, control board
would be the only means Of solving
the many complex problems affecting
this milk market. A board, he pointed
out. could regulate production and fix
fair and equitable prices for the farm
ers and for the consumers.
Chairman King is of the opinion
that If the farmers want to better
conditions they sholEd do it them
selves. not depend on the committee,
which. he feels, already has done Its
part by laying bare the inner opera
tions of the Washington dairy indus
try and making public the huge
profits of the alleged trust" dairies.
McCarran Pushes Measure.
Senator McCarran, who was vice
chairman of the Investigating Com
nittee. also is anxious to have ooth
the subcommittee and the full Dis
trict Committee recommend to the
Congress adoption Of his resolution,
now penang DelOTe llle hslluItulV
Committee. authorizing a Nation wide
investiga ton of the dairy industry.
He is believed to have the support
of Senator Austin in this view and,
II the two vote together, the matter
at least will be put before the full
committee.
Referring to the local situation, Nc
Carran said:
THE DEFICIENCIES of our present sys-
tenn are shown by our wasteful dis
tribution set-up Any day one may
see from two to four milk trucks
delivering In one city block. The
producer certainly derives no bene-
ft from this and the consumer has
to bear the burden of excessive cost.
I believe some legislation can be en-
acted which would help that situa-
ton"

400, 900 Workers Will Be
Dismissed Next Week,
Hopkins Says.

BY the Associated Press.
Men with fiat purses got the breaks
today as the C. w. A. prepared to
discharge 3,6o0,000 workers in the
next 10 weeks.
The word went out that. in general,
the workers who could best afford it
were to be fired" first. This rule
was to be adjusted to weather con-
ditions."
Directions were in the hands Of
State c. w. A. directors for a big step
in the reducing program-dropping
100000 workers in rural areas next
week.
From both President Roosevelt and
Harry L. Hopkins, c. w. A. admin
strator, came reiteration that the civil
works outlays would be folded up by
May /.
Next Winters Plan.
From the White House came ad-
ditional word that further plans would
be considered for next Winter If
necessary. Hopkins added that those
needing relief after the c. w. AS end
in May would be given It.
Detailed directions for discharging
the first 100000 were not given out
here, but went directly to the States
concerned.
Although c. w. A. pay rolls in big
cities will be maintained at full
strength during the rest of the Win
ter, those to be dropped first else
where will be the ones with other
resources, or with some other member
of their household employed.
Big Lay-Off in South.
With the heaviest initial firing"
to start In the South, Hopkins figures
that those working in rural areas will
be able to find new jobs in Spring
farm tasks.
The administrators long-range
program for aiding present and fu-
ture jobleSs was pushed forward,
meantime Hopkins said the long
time plan rested in the Presidents
hands. Discussing plans for keeping
some employees busy until May /, Hop
kinS said:
One of these projects is the re-
building, the extension and building
Of new consolidated rural schools In
those States that have consolidated
school system. Other similar projects
are under way which can be COM
pleted by May l."
Asked how the school building plan
would work in the light of orders that
no new workers were to be employed,
he replied: There are many ways

yuSt1ceS OVeTTuleu
The Supreme Court has never been
overruled-except once. That was
last week.
A number Of court members had
been invited among other officials to
see the Washington opening of pros
pective Broadway play based on the
ScottSboro case, involving the Negro
question. Two or three justices sent
for their tickets promptly, apparently
desiring to see the play.
Certain local theatergoers, some
of whom are high in public life, pro-
tested against the play being shown
at all. They induced the management
to call it off.
Woman Judge Considered.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been privately
mulling over the possibility of ap-
pointing a woman to the Federal
Court bench.
The Uonldn UhoSe name is Hn-
der consideration is Judge Florence
Allen, 1Uho has good record on
the Ohio Supreme Court. The job
she may get is that OF the Federal
Appellate Court.
That would mean even bigger
new deal for women than they ex-
pected. No woman has ever been ap-
pointed a Federal judge.
Postmaster General Farley can get
a lot of hidden evidence from inde-
pendent mail lines for his fight
against the big companies.
For instance, representative OF
Rapid Air Lines (small independently
Is ready to testify that his bid for a
line was returned unopened by the
Post ONCE Department and that the
line was given to a major company
at a higher rate than he offered. The
explanation was made that 1t was
an extension Of the big company's
line.
Every one agrees the independents
were stepped on. but the question
among the Washington technicians is
whether Mr.. Farley can prove fraud
in court.

Farm Mortgage Collapse Key
To Rerulsion on Bank System
Availability of Billions INFESTED in
Loans for Liquid Credit Currency
Ended With Structures Failure.

In many cases the officials of these
banks found they could sell a farm
for half the amount Of the loan, or
from 20 to Is per cent of its value,
and at the same time make a cash
profit out of their own bondholders
by buying their own bonds at 25 to
80 cents on the dollar. This practice
became the backbone of joint stock
bank financing until stopped by actual
bankruptcy due to acquiring farms
that could not be sold, or by the
action of the people rebelling through
congressional enactments.
Foreclosing Became Perilous.
Instead of lying down under this
stupid procedure the farmers began
by pointing out that the more land
that was sold the less it was worth.
and that the more the peoples morale
was broken the less they could earn
These obvious observations failing,
they took matters into their own
hands.
1t became dangerous in the North
west to try to foreclose. Sheriffs and
lawyers and even judges were man
handled in the attempt.
Observing this, a sympathetic iu-
dietary in the South invented Judi
cial notice" of the depression, and by
process Of reasoning not found in
Blackstone, issued tons of injunctions.
New and strange representatives
turned up in the Legislatures of the
agrarian States and the mountain
country, with mandates to dispense
with tax penalties and to put mora
toriums on mortgages.
Like a hurricane there blew into
Washington a categorical imperative
stop this insane destruction. Don't
fool with it. Stop it."
So to save the financially-minded
from their own folly, and to salvage
for the creditors the maximum pos
Sible Of their vanishing wealth, Con-
gress had no alternative to establish
ing national banks to save the cred
! itors, and moratorium TO save the
people. The banks were the Federal
Land Banks and the two home loan
banks. The moratorium would have
been directly declared, except that the
lawyers stoutly maintained at that

Bankruptcy Act Modified.
Consequently it was done in other
ways. The Government banks we're
instructed to do their refinancing on
a reduced valuation.
The President requested any man
in jeopardy Of losing his home or
his farm to telegraph him direct.
The bankruptcy act was modified
to permit any farmer to call his credi-
tors before a conciliator whose busi-
ness it was to adjust the rights of
the parties to an actual state of
facts instead of the legal and finan-
cial delusion.
I saw this process in operation in
Salt Lake City, where Rev. Elmer l..
Goshen. broadcaster Of the "Renais-
sance Of Decency." is the conciliator.
He was saving hundreds of creditors
from ruin. He was very successful
in persuading men that the decent
process Of taking all they could rea-
sonably be paid without destroying
their debtors was better business than
demanding all and getting nothing.
