Reports that the French government
was bringing pressure to draw an
apology from the Madrid regime for
the alleged search Of q German
steamer were circulated at Paris to-
day without official confirmation.
French authorities at Metz investi-
gated the flight Of what was described
as q German airplane over the French
frontier fortiflcations near Boulay.
While Germany rushed warShlpS to
Spanish waters as an outgrowth OF
the Kamerun affair, French fears in
creased that SPANS civil war might
spread.
Informed persons said they believed
France would have to joint Great
Britain in q Joint mediation effort
in Spain, as no solid neutrality front
had yet come out Of Frances attempts
to iocalize the Spanish conflict.
The newspaper Humanite asserted:
Germany. which has torn up every
treaty and contract which was con-
trary to the realization Of her ambi-
tions, protests in the name OF inter-
national law"
It added the reported Spanish
search of the Kaerun was perfectly
legal" in view Of the Madrid gov
ernment's belief that Germany was
aiding the Fascist rebels.
Meanwhile, at Rome it was said
that Premier Mussolini has asked his
envoys abroad to sound out foreign
reaction to abandonment Of neutrality
negotiations In the Spanish civil war.
This, observers watching II Duces
armed preparedness believed, reflected
his determination to accept no agree
men which departs materially from
his demands for both practical and
moral" neutrality.
At Berlin, the voelkisher Beobach-
ter charged editorially that the Soviet
Army is ready for war OF attack to
hasten revolution to the West" and
that Soviets have taken over COM
mand of the Spanish civil war toward
that end.
"It has become evident. the editorial
concluded, "that the wish prevails
in Moscow to make the Spanish revo-
luton the beginning Of fire setting
the entire world af1ame."

Dy the Associated Press.

Government insurance as a long
time drought protection to the farmer
was pitched into the forefront of dis
cussion today by the return of Secre-
tary Wallace from President Roose-
velt's farm conference at Hyde Park
An outspoken advocate of Federal
crop insurance, Wallace attended the
session at which Louis j. Taber, leader
of the National Grange, said insurance
as possible means of offsetting dry
weather ravages had been up for dis
cussion.
Wallace will accompany the Presi-
dent on the official tour of the Middle
Western drought area. The view was
expressed in usually well-informed
quarters that the subject might be
further studied during the journey.
The cabinet members return also
brought from the Agriculture Depart
ment's Drought Committee an an
nouncement that details had been COM
pleted for the s10,0O0,O 900 seed purchase
program to assure supplies for plant

used poison gas in at least one en-
gagement.
Vigorous steps to stamp out Fascist

In return, under the Basques' plan,
the revolters would grant amnesty to
the defenders, the reports related.
The Basques-whose chief interest
in the civil war is to get the autonomy
which they have long sought for their
region-were said to have sent dele
CATION to the rebel headquarters. The
bishop of Victoria was reported to be
aiding in the armistice negotiations.

CHADRON, Nebr., August 21.-A
25-year drought program was con-
templated today by members of the
Great Plains Drought Committee as
they shaped recommendations for a
report to President Roosevelt.
Morris L. Cooke, rural electrifica-
ton administrator and chairman OF
the group, told meeting Of farmers
here last night any effective plan un-
doubtedly would require that much
time.
Cooke and his associates indicated
they were considering the recommen-
dation of rigid land and water con-
servation, State land zone laws, a
stable system of credit for Great
Plains farmers and feasible irrigation
and reclamation projects.
Lewis C. Gray, head Of the Land
Utilization Division of the Resettle-
ment Administration and special con-
sultant for the committee on its 5000
mile trip through the drought area,
said he did not believe there was a
need for extensive shifting of farm
families from the arid lands to other
districts. He added:
Mature itself already has thinned
out the population in the bad Sec
tions."
Gray said there is need for new
credit system.
Under the present system, banks
make loans, encouraging expansion,
during good crop-growing years." he
said. Then in bad years they de-
mand payment. What the farmer
needs is credit for necessary improve
ments, but not for overexpansion."
He said good zoning law is needed
IN each of the drought States to force
the return of unproductive crop lands
to grass.
Certain reforms" in farm practices
to conserve lands and water also are
needed he said.
The committee will make its report
TO President Roosevelt late next week
In South Dakota.

''THEY SEEK

The keynote of the convention
was sounded by David A. LASER,
national chairman of the Workers
Alliance, as he called for unified
action to thrust back the attacks
of the reactionary forces unable
or unwilling to solve the problem
of ID million unemployed in a land
filled with the possibilities Of
abundance for all, seeking To
starve us into submission.
Emphasizing the necessity for
cooperation with the employed
workers, LASER said, at is the in

LASER suggested that if Presi-

should have the power to call a
