Society Of Authors
Urged TO Protect
Ballet inventors

NEW YORK Serge Lifar, bal
let master and premier danseur at
the Paris Opera, has made a de-
mand upon the Societe des Au-
teurs, which is said to present
more difficulties than the de-
mands of the members that their
copyrights be defended by the so
ciety against plagiaristS Of movie
scenarios, both silent and articu-
late.
Mr.. Lifar asks the society to
obtain for the inventors of bal
lets authors royalties on the per
formance of their works in the
same way as royalties are OBJ
tanned for playWrights and COM
poSers.
Mr.. Lifar has made this demand
because a well-known company
which is giving season in Paris
has included in it's program four
ballets of which not only the titles,
but, according to him, every de-
tail of the choreography are
those of Fokine, although the
name of the latter is nowhere
mentioned upon the program.
This opens up new branch Of
copyright protection which ap-
pears, according to Mr.. Lifar, not
to be covered.

T00ATHLAW

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. IL.
Prof. Kirtly F. Mather, noted
Harvard geologist, and one
of the most prominent "con-
scientious objectors" to Massachu-
sets new patriotism law, an

Mather said he had but two alter

Conant's request or to resign.
He explained that if resigna-

were accepted, the reputation of
Harvard in the educational world

ROPER COUNCIL
TO SALVAGE
BUSINESS
International News Service

International News Service
The Administration shifted to
its Business Advisory Council to-
day the task of winning industry's
whole.hearted cooperation in the
solution of pressing economic
problems.
This was disclosed by Secretary
of Commerce Roper following In
dustry Coordinator George L.
Berry's failure to persuade Spokes-
men for many major industries to
participate in this weeks illfated
Industrial conference.
The Business Advisory Council,
made up of leading industrialists
and meeting periodically with
Commerce Department officials,
has the approval of many of the
same business men who turned a
cold shoulder to Mr.. Berry's gath
ering. The group is headed by
Delaney Kountze, New York
manufacturer.
Backed by President
Although President Roosevelt
originally conceived the present
Industrial conference, he has
shown considerably more interest
in the councils activities.
Mr.. Roper hopes to make the
council a clearing house for prob
lens confronting industry and
have it send its information to
Congress, the White House and
the various Federal agencies.
At its next meeting, to be held
within a few weeks, the group Will
consider government cooperation
in stimulating foreign trade
Efforts will be made to increase
the flow of goods to Latin Amer
lean countries.
Berry Continues Efforts
Mr.. Roper expressed enthusiasm
over willingness of industry to
confer with officials of his de-
partment. He pointed to progress
made as a result of conferences
with members of the automobile
and fisheries industries which
Shunned Mr.. Berry'S conference.
Meanwhile Mr.. Berry intends to
continue his conference as orig
inally planned, despite the whole
sale desertions by business dele
gALeS. A conference council
formed by delegates of those in.
dustrial groups which attended
the conference will meet next
week.

District Head Reveals

The Farm Credit administration
emergency seed loan program will
be continued this year. according to

Okanogan, $4,000 in Chelan, and
$23,7.O in Douglas.

pose, nor can it be used to pay
debts, taxes or for anything other
than production purposes, such as
spraying, fertilization and water and
power payments.

Point Out Values
OfLand Bank Loans
Money Gives Farmers Brighter
Financial Outlook; Pay
Loans Promptly

The closing of $685. Federal Land
bank and emergency land bank
commissioner loans in Washington
during 1884 for total of $11,738,-
900 not only helped meet an acute
emergency need, but made a per-
manent contribution to Washing
ton farm rehabilitation" it is point
ed out in a communication to
washington farm loan association
secretaries this week by President
E. M. Ehrhardt. These local asSo-
Citations are cooperative organiZa-
tons through which farmers obtain
land bank loans by becoming stock
holding members.
1.-THE important thing" President
Ehrhardt says, SIS that rather than
adding a new layer of indebtedness,
loans actually helped Washington
farmers reduce their excessive debt
load and get fresh start with in
creased hope of becoming debt-free."
Paid Old Debts
For on the average, nearly SO
cents of each dollar loaned by the
bank went to pay off old debts, and
in most cases farmers were able to
obtain voluntary adjustments from
their creditors by being in position
to offer them the equivalent of cash
settlements. In all instances these
loAIls were made on the basis Of
normal valuation, leaving the Dor
rover a substantial equity. BY OBJ
tanning a lower interest rate and
getting their payments spread over
a long term of years, these refi-
nanced farmers now have brighter
prospects for a comeback"
Loans Being Repaid
This has been a constructive
service, soundly carried out. And
with the return of better prices,
borrowers are showing their good
faith by meeting their installment
payments promptly. Conscientious
meeting of payments is absolutely
necessary, of course, because great
trust has been placed in the land
bank by private investors who have
supplied its loan funds. The whole
future of this cooperative credit
system. in which borrowers have a
partnership interest. depends on
faithful performance and sound
operations"
