CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt charged today
that his political opponents
depression profteers he called
them-Seek to wreck the re-
covery program by playing
city against farm.
Speaking to $4,000 at the annual
convention of the American Farm
Bureau Federation the chief ex-
ecutive employed militant language
reminiscent of Gen. Hugh S. John
son. He hurled defiance at his
critics, calling them dispensers OF
discord and calamity howlers.
Amid cheers Of the delegates he
summed up Administration accom-
plishments and pointed to the agri-
cultural record to justify measures
taken to aid the farmer.
Defends New Treaty
He pointed to higher farm pur-
chasing power, defended the new
Canadian reciprocal trade agree
ment, and asserted that although
prices for farm products show many
increases over depression lows, the
farm program instead of burdening
consumers as group. has actually
given them benefits
His speech marked the second time
in little more than week that he
rallied to lash out savagely against
his foes.
In this attack he was even more
vitriolic than heretofore as he de-
clared that benefits to the American
farmer were opposed chiefly by the
few who profited heavily from the
depression"
1T is they and their henchmen
who are doing their best to foment
city people against the farmers and
the farm program he said
The crowd broke into cheers as
the President reminded them that
farm prosperity can not exist with
out city prosperity. and city pros
perity can not exist without farm
prosperity"
Crowd Listens Intently
AS he proceeded the crowd, how
ever, listened seriously in what APP
pearei to be studiouS silence.
This was especially true, ii
seemed, as he reviewed the plight
of the farmer during the depression
years.
The audience roared with APP
proval. however as Mr. Roosevelt
in tracing the development of his
agricultural program added:
1T was inevitable, too, that time
had to elapse before results were
fully felt. When the many cells Of

The President pounded on the

home his words.

be employed with the P. w. A. funds just made
available.
The plan now contemplated by officials of the
Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine
includes the cleanup of a border zone at least
10 miles wide around the known infected area
about New York City. This means that in addi-
tion to the $500 square miles of infected area,
there will be $500 square miles more to be
cleaned of undesirable trees. Federal entomolo-
gists estimate there about 5000 900 elm
trees in the area So far, they have found 1901
infected trees. All but ,304 of them, 1903 in
New Jersey and in Connecticut, have been
taken out and destroyed All the known dis
eased ems in New York State have already been
removed. About $4,000 dead and dying elms
other than those infected with Dutch elm dis
ease are in the eradication area, according to
estimates. All these dead or dying elm trees
will be removed this Winter. OF the total work
area 81 per cent is in New Jersey, II per cent
in New York and 16 per cent in Connecticut.
The plan is, according to Mr.. Worthley, to get
rid of diseased wood and to destroy the harbor-
ing places of large number of insects and the
insects themselves before the warmth of Spring
can start another wave of infection.

Dutch Elm Disease Is FOUGHT

THE Federal Government with the experience
gained from the chestnut blight which has
almost wiped out this type of tree in the
United States, is waging grim and determined
warfare to prevent repetition Of the destruction
in the case of the elm trees. The advent Of the
Dutch elm disease, which was first noted in this
country in 1880, has brought a campaign to
eradicate every infected tree in the relatively
small area in which the disease is present.
P. w. A. allotment of $4,000 has been set
aside for the work.
Practically all the funds will be expended in
New Jersey, Connecticut and an area of about
As square miles surrounding New York
harbor according to L. H. Worthley, who is
in charge of the control work of the Bureau
of Entomology and Plant Quarantine.
The eradication campaign will emphasize the
cleanup of dead and dying elm trees, not only
those infected with the Dutch elm disease since
all dead or dying elms may harbor insects which
may be factor in the spread of the destructive
fungus.
To help this work along workers in c. c. C.
camps in the region will be enlisted in the
wooded areas. In other sections and in cities
and villages experts and gangs of workmen will

ner as to dictate their reference to COM
mittees for further consideration. That
course usually is followed only when
specific request is made by the writer
or when member of Congress, the sec
retary of the Senate, or the clerk of the
House deems the material to be dis
tinctive or important enough to deserve
the special treatment. Otherwise, the
communications do not go beyond the
offices in which they are received.
For that reason, the exact number of
letters which embody petitions and pleas
can never be known.
The following are few of the sub
jects to which communicates making
other than directly personal pleas de-
voted their attentions at the last session
of Congress-:

But, no matter how great the volume
of petitions dealing with great national
problems and proposals for economic
reforms may become, the personal
pleaS-the earnest outpourings of indi-
viduals perplexities-always will provide
the substance and the basic interest
whenever products of 1.-The right to Pc

THE more ponderouS of the documents,
and those to which the signatures of
famous persons most frequently are ap-
pended, are the ones of course, which
have important legislative proposals as
their inspirations.
Prohibition probably drew more formal
communications to the Capitol than any
other single subject in the Nations his
tory. Congressional records reveal that
large numbers of persons inscribed pc
titions about "the liquor trade" as far
back as six and seven decades ago. But
the ranks Of those pioneers truly seem
small when compared with the hosts of
Ecriveners who went after their pens and
inkwells when the eighteenth amend
ment and the Volstead act were on their
way to approval. Most of their screeds
were referred to the Judiciary Commit
tees of the Senate and the House of
Representatives. Bullying file cases and
presence of large piles of accumulated
documents in the rooms of those COM
mittees at that time testified to the
popular excitations which then we're
current.
A steady bombardment of pro and
con petitions on the subject of liquor
continued during the next few years,
but it remained for possibility of repeal
action to bring return of the laying
Of heavy barrages.
And now, in these post-repeal days,
those great outpourings Of thoughts in
the form Of written words are simply
large bundles and bales of paper, posi-
toned in dim and inaccessible places
high above the floors of the Senate and
the House where other considerations
now prevail.
Adding greatly to the volume of pc
titions during recent years, the practice
OF calling upon the public by use Of the
radio and other mediums to write '1et-
ters to every member of Congress" Such
appeals have the effect of making dis
tributors of mail at the Capitol weary
and stopped soon after the calls are
issued.
Two or three days after one of those
radio pleas had been made the secretary
to member Of the House took the
trouble to count the formal and informal
communications which that call had
brought to his desk in single early
morning delivery Of the mail. The total
was well above 900 pieces.

through the legislative machinery, with
an accompanying display of contentious

But, year in and year out, there will be
farmers whose cows have been killed,
hay fever sufferers and people who want
to have their manuscripts published
there will be all those and many others
who seize upon the grant given them

"NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
MARCH" IS ANNOUNCED
Capt. Darcy Composes New Work
Inspired by Aid in Strato-

A new musical composition, THE
National Geographic March" was an
nounced here today by its composer,
Capt. Thomas Darcy. leader Of the
United States Army Band. Capt.
Darcy has dedicated the march to DR..
Gilbert Grosvenor. president Of the
National Geographic Society.
The march is of a stirring military
type and is so constructed that during
its course each of the bands sections
are brought into prominence in sue
cession. The Army Band has been
rehearsing the composition for several
weeks and has played it before officials
of The National Geographic Society
and small groups of musicians. Capt.
Darcy plans to include it in radio
and concert programs.
The idea for the march, according
to Capt. Darcy, grew from the CO.
operation of the Army and The Ma
tional Geographic Society in strato-
sphere exploration and aerial photo
graphic work. In musical phraseology
he has symbolized the worldwide ac-
tivities of the Society, as do its official
flag colors, on sea and land, and In
