WHILE this Confessional L, snarl
Roosevelt tried to placate the South
by jacking-up the loan rate on
cotton from 9 to 10 cents Thus.
the farmer now will be able to
get ? loan OF 10 cents a pound on
his 1886 crop instead Of the 9 cents
contemplated earlier and the II
cents granted him this year.
Whether the Southern Senators
were pleased could not be
ascertained
Just why the AAA'S revised policy
was subjected to the attack that
it was is hard to understand.
Under the 12-cent loan arrange
ment the Government was thrust
into the position of acquiring
virtually all Of the available cotton.
With the commodity selling in the
open market at a level considerably
under the government loan figure
the grower simply took his cotton
to a government warehouse and
got a 12-cent loan on it.
Thus, there we're two prices for
cotton in effect. One was the
price which professors were willing
to pay. based on the law of supply
and demand. the other was the
AAA loan price of II cents. Natur-
ally. of course. the farmer took the
higher price. which was the latter
Meanwhile the cotton that was
being accepted by the government
as collateral for the 12-cent loan
was not going into consumption
because the government was not in
the processing business and could
only hold it n its warehouses.

REICH TO MOTORIZE
MILITARY FORCES
Open Cars With Powerful Guns
Planned to Rush Troops to
Strategic Points.
By the Associated Prexa

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN. May 77.-German mil.
itary plans for creating an army on
wheels capable of speeding to the
front and from one sector to another
at 80 miles an hour were disclosed to-
day by an authoritative source.
Open automobiles equipped with
powerful guns will be employed to
rush troops over the new motor high
ways. broad concrete ribbons leading
to strategic frontier points. The plans
are said to call for ratio of two
motor vehicles for every four in
fantrymen.
Near the front, fast trucks with a
capacity of 20 men will provide
transportation for the troops, while
tanks and armored cars will be used
to carry them into battle.
The belief exists that preparation
have been made to make possible the
production of thousands of tanks
within comparatively short space
Of time if the need should arise.
A foreign expert said the underly-
ing principle of this exceptional
motorization Of the German military
machine is that the next war will be
q fast" one necessitating swift move
ment Of troops from one front to an
other in conjunction with air attacks
upon strategic enemy cities.

The Bureau Of Air Commerce ac-
cident report on the crash of the
transcontinental airliner which carried
Senator Bronson Cutting to his death
may be ready for publication tonight
or tomorrow. The report is expected
to be one of the most detailed Federal
accident reports yet issued. in view of
widespread public interest in the crash.
Publication of the findings of Bu-
reau of Air Commerce inspectors in
the case of fatal airplane accidents
was legalized by Congress last year

Our authorities believe large inter-
national conferences are not feasible
any more. Too many small nations
come in on an almost equal footing
with large nations. They play with
first one large nation and then an

applause had died down, said
Il don't like the West. It's all great

"Emptiness?" said the mayor why.

SENATE DEBATES
|. CHANGES IN A.A.A.
Smith Questioned on eek
tension" of Power to
Secretary.
By the Associate Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senate debate on the highly con-
troversiai A. A. A. amendments OPEN
ed today with half dozen Senators
firing questions at Senator Smith,
Democrat, Of South Carolina, for ex-
PLANTATION Of its complex provisions.
Il do not consider any additional
power is given the Secretary of Agri-
culture in these amendments" Smith
began, and Immediately Senators
Borah Of Idaho and McNary of Ore
gon leaped TO their feet, the former
appealing for the South Carolinian To
''amplify that statement"
Smith set about explaining the bill,
which carries many provisions "eX-
planning or broadening" or "increas-
ing" the authority of the Secretary of
Agriculture in his control of the agri-
cultural industry.
The debate turned on the bill
drafted by a House committee which
has been offered TO the Senate by
Smith as substitute for the Senate
bill. The new bill was described by
Senator Smith as much more salts
factory. and he sought TO avoid de-
tailed comparison of the two by plead
ing that Il thought the Senate would
accept my statement that the House
bill is the better one"
Chief of Provisions.
Chief of the provisions are:
l. To increase the Secretary Of Agri-
cultures licensing power over the
businesses of handling and processing
agricultural products.
2. Give him authority TO keep an
"eVer normal granary" by taking up
surpluses in good years and dealing
them out to farmers in bad years IN
the form Of benefit payments in kind
rather than in cash.
3. Give him one-third of the Gus
toms receipts. sum estimated al
Sl00,000,000 a year. TO finance market
ing SURPRISES abroad and TO improve
the domestic market.
4. Permit him to use part of the
500, 1000 900 TO buy up and getire
marginal lands.
5. Presidential imposition Of quota
restrictions on tariffs on imports in
event imports Of agricultural COM
moditles interfere with the program
Disputed Amendments.
Most disputed of the proposed
amendments are those to expand the
Secretary's licensing power. They
would authorize the issuance of
licenses and regulations governing the
handling of any farm commodity
provided the handlers of SO per cent
of the product request it.
One type of licensing authority can
apply only to handlers of milk and
its products, tobacco, sugar beetS,
wool, mohair, fruits and vegetables
II handlers of so per cent of one of
the products refuse to be licensed and
the Secretary finds that such refusal
tends to thwart the declared policy
Of the act, he can arbitrarily I'M
pose licenses provided the President
and farmers producing two-thirds of
the commodity sanction it.
Fees for all licenses would be fixed
in proportion to the handlers pro
rata share Of the expenses incurred
by the authority"
Retail dealers and the farmers
themselves would be exempt from the
licensing provisions except in the
case Of milk and its products.

british VIEW j. S.
AS STABILITY KEY.
Hope Roosevelt or Hull
Will Call Conference
on Currency.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. May 27.-Encouraged by
what they construe as indications Of
growing sentiment for sterilization of
international exchange, British imam
cial circles expressed the hope today
that President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary of State Hull might take the
initiative in calling a new world cur
rency and trade conference.
The opinion has long been held
here that the key to sterilization rests
with Washington. British financial
writer's, however. declare that stabili-
zation will be impossible until the
United States eliminates what are
her policy. These factors are the
possibility Of further devaluation of
the dollar. the war-debts issue and
the present American silver purchase
program.
Observers here incline to the belief
that President Roosevelt may be con-
templating some modification Of his
program II such should eVentuate
and a conference be convened, it is
generally conceded in press comment
the conversations would have fair
chance of success
In all discussions Of sterilization
regard is given to the declaration of
Neville Chamberlain on May 49, 1T
is futile to attempt to bring about
sterilization until We can see some
prospect OF stability Of conditions
after sterilization has been effected"
Since that statement the British
have been looking anxiously to Wash
ington in the hope Of discerning signs
which would promise stability Of the
sort Chamberlain considers pre-
requisite to restoratio of normal con-
ditions.

to name other speakers from the nine
prairie States participating in the
conference to lead the discussions.
When Springfield was selected as
the site for the rally by Midwestern
leaders at Excelsior Springs. Mo, last
month. they tentatively named
Spangler. who is Republican national
committeeman for Iowa, to deliver
the keynote speech. He agreed, said
participants. with the provision that
il other duties in connection with
the meeting were too arduous he
could name q substitute, preferably
Simmons. who was a former candi-
date for United States Senator.
To Sound Battle Call.
From pre-conference expressions Of
Spangler. those high in the party
councils said he probably would sound
q battle call for what he terms the
necessity of the preservation of
America and our social. economic and
political institutions" Take inven-
tory of affairs under the Roosevelt
New Deal and indicate the trend of
the Republican party in the Midwest.
Hyde, they said. is tentatively listed
to talk on Lincoln at a pilgrimage
to the Great Emancipator's Tomb
in Oak Ridge Cemetery in Spring
field while the conference is in
progress June 10 and IL.
Hayes. who they said had been
slated to discuss AmericaniSm and
the challenge of Communism, prob
ably will deal with theories of the
G. o. P. on constitutional govern
ment.
Leaders said they have not deter
mined just what place the farm is
sue, subject they termed of vast
importance to the conference be-
cause the States to be represented all
