STRESA CONFERENCE
MOSTLY A FARCE

STRESA, Italy, April 15.-The outcom.
of the Stresa conference seems only to h
an attempt to lull the fear of war in II,
masses. At least the six-point proposal n
the three powers, France, Italy and Enc
land, does not hinder Hitler in his rearmsI
ment program.
Hitler was given a mild rebuke, to N
true, but mostly for the clumsy manner N
which he made his war intentions clear ID
the world.
The main proposals signed by all thre
powers contain the following points
1. To conduct a common line of con
duct on the French governments prOtes
to the League of Nations on German re
armament.
2. To pursue negotiations for securit
i'll eastern Europe.
3. Declaring "the necessity of man
tanning the independence of Austria" Fl
this purpose a Danubian conference is 1
be held in Rome at "an early date"
A. Proposals for western Europe a
pact.
5. A statement that the three pOwe
REMAIN anxious" for promoting "intem
tional limitations of ornaments"
6. Approval for Hungary, Bulgaria a
Austria to rearm following Germany'S
armament.
The last point shows clearly what
farce the conference was.

the request of thousands of farm
ers, provides for decent relief for
our families, wiping out the debts,
and feed and seed loans that will
enable us to put in crop at once
with full protection against attach
ment and eviction. In short, it is
the only bill which will enable US
to keep our farms, and continue
to raise crops to feed the people
of the nation. The immediate pas
sage of this bill will help us at
once and prevent further ruin.
Our Basic Demands
We also must have the credit
necessary to put in a crop. Our
demand is repayment of this loan
shall be optional in land or cash
only when we have made a suffi-
cient profit on our crops to meet
the full living requirements of ou1
families. We face the probability
of crop failure in many sections
this year. There will be areas
where there is no use putting in q
crop-here funds should be made
available for operations to prevent
soil erosion, renew our stock-re
pair our equipment so that we ma!
start again. So far the govern
ment has taken just one feeble stel
to meet the need. The 100000,

HIGH FOOD PRICES CAUSES
RIJMPUS IN MICHIGAN

DETROIT, April 15.-The complaints
of housewives in Detroit about the rising
food prices have finally caused grand jury
investigation. Bread, milk and meat have
taken the greatest jumps. Bread has
Jumped two cents loaf and milk one cent
per quart, with other commodities going
up in proportion.
Prosecutor Duncan McCrea, in petition
ing Judge Henry S. Sweeney of recorders
court for the grand jury session, expressed
the opinion that the increased prices are
result of price fixing conspiracies and COM
binations in violation of the state antitrust
laws.

the floor of the House that North
Dakota alone required $50, 100000.
And besides, the usual hard terms
are exacted. No one may have
federal seed loan until all private
means of credit are exhausted.
This forces US to plaster any clear
property which may be left.
Locked up with the fight for re-
lief and production credit is the
growing necessity for wiping out
back debts. This would legally re-
cognize a fact that is taking place.
The $13,OOO,OOO,OO0 of farm debts
can never be paid. The Farmers
Emergency Relief Bill invokes the
emergency powers of the govern
ment to outlaw evictions and can
eel debts. There was time when

came. We are now forced by ne
cessity to demand that this i'm

distressed American people. Fa-
Their Coughlin has caught the Am
erican ear by attacking the cor
rupt money changers of Wall
Street. He too promises an easy
solution by simply initiating the
dollar. We notice that the radio
priest has made special efforts to
place his program before the far
mers by attending their conven- /
tions and writing in their press.
There is danger here of splitting
us off from our allies, the city
workers, because initiation means
a wage cut to them. For that
matter, initiation is also a calam-
ity for farmers on or off relief,
because their few dollars buy less
and less. The theory is that far
mers can pay off debt contract
ed in sound dollars twice as fast
with dollars stretched by initiation.
We must not forget that we muht
first sell sound products and re-
ceive the stretched dollars leaving
US as usual behind the soaring
prices of things we buy. There
is significance in the fact that
Father Coughlin's great shrine in
Detroit was built entirely with
non-union labor.

WHEELER PROPOSES GOVT.
OWNERSHIP OF RAILROADS

WASHINGTON, April ia bill pro-

operation of the railroads, beginning next
january, was proposed by Senator Wheeler
of Montana yesterday.
The bill provides for acquisition, owner
ship and management of the railroads by
a federal corporation, called the United
States Railways, under public management
and in the public interest. 1t would guar
antee better transportation system, with
lower freight rates to the public.
