DREMIER MUSSOLINI is highly
skeptical of the success of efforts to
persuade Germany to enter into gen.
eral peace plans for Europe. In his
newspaper, Popolo dItalia, appeared
an editorial, probably written by il
duce himself, warning his fellow
countrymen that no miraculous results
may be expected from the conference
Of foreign ministers in Stresa. 1t as
serted that the western European pow
ers must stabilize their line of COM
mon action against several eventuali-
ties which can be foreseen, and they
must take definite responsibility"
1t then charged that the French and
British are impeding Mussolini's wish
to take action against Hitler because
of their preoccupation about their own
internal policy.
Premier Flandin and Foreign Min
lister Laval of France were reported to
have devised "a vast, new, flexible plan
to organize the peace of the continent
within the framework of the League
of Nations.
pOLAND appears to have decided to
play lone hand in the European
embroglio, though she remains friend
ly to Germany. 1t is reported that
Captain Edens visit to Warsaw was
as disappointing as was that of Sir
John Simon to Berlin. The Polish
government is determined to sign no
pact that would commit the nation
to fight for Russia against Germany or
for Germany against Russia and
France, nor will it permit either Ger
man or Russian troops to be trans
ported across Poland. The Polish
statesmen say they will sign a series
OF bilateral pacts, and will go as far
as any other nation in parallel disar-
mamenr. They assert that they have
no alliance with Germany, though their
mutual troubles have been settled for
the next ten years, and that the alli-
ance with France still holds good

European powers that are seeking

A BRIEF RESUME OF THE
oath Legislature
BY E EDW. e. YORK

We arrived In Helena a few days
before converting OF the session to
make necessary arrang ements for
living quarters for the coming 50
days.
The city of Helena was In a state
OF much enthusiasm because o. the
approach of the legislative session.
Job seekers from every walk OF lie;
politicians, lobbyists, were there by
the hundreds, besides the Represen-
tatives and Senators. The Placer
hotel being the place OF gathering
and center of attraction where the
many problems OF the state are
planned and worked out before ses-
sion %convenes; 1t being the usual
custom Of the members OF the House
to hold a general caucus to nomi-
nate and elect the Roster OF the
House. This was held on January 3
at the Placer and the members from

as follows: w. P. Pilgeram, Speaker;

Minority Floor Leader; Rev. c. +.

Sergeant at Arms; John j. Jewell,

fusion and controversy at the regu-

lar session, where this same proce-
dure takes place in a legal way and
is recognized by the House as a law

The first two weeks there Is little
done and the task OF appointing the
various committees ds carried on.
This is a most difficult procedure,
in placing members on committees
for which they are most suitable and
their ability to carry out to he best
interest and welfare OF the State.
The Speaker, VIM. p. Rilgeram, a
very progressive member. made a re-
markable record for himself In ap-

that are not building for a sound and prosperous fu-

1t speaks well for the foresight OF the American
farmer that he has stuck s%tubbornly to his cooperative
during depression, when At seemed that little or no
progress was being made. Now the fruits OF that are
beginning to appear; the farm income is rising, new
markets are being developed, the arduous Job OF
adjusting supply and demand Is slowly being conplet-

genuinely better times.

c. O.P.OF FAR WEST
|ND|CTS NEW DEAL
Restate Principles OF Bal
anced Budget and Cut in
Cost of Government.

By the Associated Press.
OAKLAND, Calf, october T.
After celebrating three days as a
self constituted grand jury, Western
Republicans planned today to prose-
cute the 1886 campaign on an "indict-
ment" of the Roosevelt New Deal.
The indictment" was the central
action Of a group Of enthusiastic dele
gates from II Far West states who
ended the week end rally here yes
terday.
At the same time the WeSterners
issued a restatement of party princi-
Piles that included a balanced budget
and reduction in the cost Of govern
ment.
Drawing almost as much attention
as the indictment" and party tenets,
however, were two ranking Repub-
lican personalities, one present in per-
son, the other by proxy.
Hoover Is Applauded.
Former President Hoover. titular
head of the party, denounced the
present administration in scathing
language that caused his $500 hear
ers to burst into frequent applause.
The name of ALI M. Landon, budget
balancing governor of Kansas. once
more was brought before the Nation
as likely to draw considerable support
at the nominating convention.
The indictment of the New Deal
approved by the delegates included
charges that: Representative govern
ment was being destroyed "by usurpa-
ton of legislative powers" by attacks
on the Supreme Court and by propa-
ganda; that an "orgy OF spending"
was endangering the youth Of the
country with the future burden of
taxation; that the principles of the
Democratic platform had been re-
pudiated; that "the greatest national
debt In history" and "juggling' the
dollar were impairing national credit;
that industrial unrest and subversive
activity had been increased by recog-
milton of a nation apparently Russia)
whose principles call for the over
throw of representative government"
that persons known to be antagonistic
to the American form of government"
had been placed in high Office, and
that private initiative had been "throt-
tied"
Condemn Farm Policy.
The indictment also included con-
demnation of the Roosevelt farm
policy, which was declared to have
lost foreign markets for American
products and to have caused food
prices to increase to almost pro-
hibitive levels"
A balanced budget and restoration"
of the balance between legislative.
executive and judicial branches Of
the Government were at the head
OF the declaration of principles.
Many items in the indictment OF
the New Deal followed along lines of
Mr.. Hoover's speech, which contained
the most caustic criticism he has
directed at the administration
The former Chief Executive lashed
particularly at the New Deals spend
ing program, its unbalanced budget
and the mounting public debt.
Fred Seaton of Manhattan, Kans.,
chairman of the Kansas Young Re-
pubncans, read a letter from Gov.
Landon. which said extravaganza
and waste in public spending threat
ened the Nation with destruction"
