Abroad

conditions. Every one knows that
our foreign friends are rearning.
believe every one realizes as
well, however, that each of those
foreign nations is in position
where it cannot initiate hostilities.
At least, each one is in a position
where very great provocation must
occur before it can justify the start
ing of a war in the eyes of nations
like our own.
Any one who wishes to examine
those unsettled conditions will find
at the very bottom two types of
propaganda. One comes from Rus
STA, the other from Germany. The
two types of propagandists, while
violently hating each other, ARE
preaching exactly the same sort of
thing. They are telling the world
that if the world wants peace it
must align itself with one or the
other of the two schools of thought,
depending upon which type of prop
uganda you read. With circum-
stances like that going on abroad,
it seems to me that we as Ameri-

Naval Limitation Farley Is Becoming
Enmeshed By European Politics
Italy Would Trade on Sanction Situation; France
Wants Air Defense Pact With Britain

to adhere to the agreement only
if Great Britain will enter a mu-
tual air defense pact with France.
France also. may seek British as
surance of cooperation to prevent
German from violating the Rhine
land Zone.
Davis was understood to have
reaffirmed TO Corbin the United
States principle Of staying out of
strictly European problems.
Misgivings were beard lest the
interlocking Of naval negotiations
with European questions-even
thous in diplomatic channels rath-
er than in the naval conference
proper-might evoke a demand in
Congress for recall of the United
States delegation.
France and Italy desire a, limi-
tation on battleship size below
$4,000 tons-the figure insisted
upon by the United States and
agreed to by England yesterday.
When the Anglo-American agree
ment became known, France APP
pealed through diplomatic chan
nels direct to Washington, going
around the U. S. delegation at
the conference, in an effort to Sc
cure a lower battleship maximum.
Washington made no reply. Da-
Wis is believed to enjoy the iull
confidence of the American gov
eminent, and it was believed the
French effort to go over his head
will meet with a cool reception.

The state department was ad-
vised by the American embassy

definite information as to his
whereabouts, but that talks with
Indians had convinced him that
Redfern was still alive. Plans are

statement issued by Alfred Har-
rod, newspaperman of Paramar-

FARM BILL IS
UNDER FIREIN
LOWER House
Fierce Debate Shows Issue
Cuts Across Old Party
Considerations
SCARCITY IS STILL
BASIC IDEA, SAID
By JOHN r. BEAL
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. (UP)
House debate on the New Deal
farm bill yesterday brought fierce
attacks from both major parties
emphasizing how the farm issue
cuts across old-line political con-
siderations.
The house adopted a rule linn
ting debate to five hours and per-
hitting amendments, which is ex-
pected to bring passage Friday.
The senate already has passed the
bill which seeks to regulate crop
production through paying farm
ers to conserve their soil.
1t was manufacturer against
the farmer, the defender OF the
constitution against the advocate
of change, and the dairyman
against the rest of agriculture in
yesterdays debate.
Members of the same political
parties found themselves on OPP
posite sides. Rep. Joseph w. Mar
tin. Jr., R., Mass, attacked the
bill and Rep. Frank Carlson, R.,
Kan, defended it. Rep. J. Bayard
Clark, D., N. c.: urged its adop-
tion as practical way of achiev-
ing the detectives of the uncon-
stitutional AAA, and Rep. Arthur
P. Lamneck, D.. Ohio, described it
as "idiotic."
Martin also rang in the politi-
cal issue in an all-embrasive fight
against the bill.
"The object of this measure"
he said, sis to keep on the gov
eminent payroll 100000 county
agents until after the November
election. When November is pass
ed this bill will be found to be
just as unconstitutional as the
AAA
"Dr. Wallace dressed no the
AAA in a new dress and called it
soil erosion. It's the same old
program of scarcity"
Carlson said he would support
the bill because the farm problem
was an economic, not a political
issue,
"The farmers will resent any
attempt to make it political Is
sue" he said.
Lamneck joined Martin in at
lacking the measures constltu'
tionality and added:
"There is no agricultural over.
production when 20,0OO,OO0
Americans are hungry, when at
least 2O0,OOO,OO0 Chinese are
starving, and 100,000,OOO Rus
slams go without food"
His chief objection, however
was the way in which the New
Deal, under the AAA, had taxed
manufacturing states to pay agrl'
cultural states. He cited status
tics to show that some farm states
which paid only few hundred
thousands of dollars in AAA taxes
got back millions in benefits, while
Industrial states contributing hun
dreds of millions in taxes got back
onlv a fraction in benefits.
