MUSSOLINI HAS
 MADE PROMISES

Paris, Jan. l3-- (UP)-Premier Benito Mussolini has sent to Prem fer Pierre Laval his personal assur- ance that he will not quit the league and will not attack England, the United Press learned today.
 Vittorio Cerutti. Italian Ambas- sador, returning here after g week in Rome, brought official confirma- ton of Mussolini's two-fold prom ise to Laval. which was conveyed last week to Count Charles De- Chambrun, French Ambassador at Rome.
 The promises were:
 1. Italy will not quit the league, even if further sanctions are voted.
 ?. Italy gives a formal pledge that she will not be an aggressor against Britain.
 Cerutti, like De Chambrun, brought Laval no new Italian peace overtures, but the pledges were be- lieved to have cleared the atmos- phere greatly Q week before the important league meeting at Gen. eva.
 Observers doubted that new peace overtures would be possible at pres- ent, the occasion being unpropitious because neither side has gained a sufficiently crushing military vic- tory.

Farm Organizations Join With New Deal for
 Another Program
By RUSSELL TURNER EJnited Preag Stan CorregpOndent)

NOuAbSW kTGDD 0b8H NVHEeSYUhhuCnV
 washington, Jan. 13--(UP)-Farm organizations and the New Deal, in substantial agreement upon c new farm program, rushed preparation today of a substitute AAA legislation to be proposed to congress.
 Administration attorneys drafted proposals for 8 soil conservation program while heads of three prin- cipal farm organizations--the Na- tional Grange, the American Farm Bureau Federation and the National Farm Cooperative Council-met to formally approve them.
 On only one point did there ap- pear a potentially serious disagree ment between the organizations and the administration. Strong farm op- position developed to President Roosevelts request that congress repeal an act setting aside 30 per cent of customs collections for agri- cultural aids.
 Customs Act Unwise
 It was estimated the act, passed by congress at the 1895 session, would provide $o0,000,000 annually for farm aid. Tn his budget message, transmitted to congress the same day that the supreme court invalidated AAA, MT. Roosevelt termed the cus- toms act "unwise," and requested re- peal.
 Tn approving @ new crop produc- ton control program based on soil conservation, the 100 farm leaders, requested the 30 per cent provision be retained and, if possible, strength ened in application. Proponents of the 30 per cent provision, 1t was learned, would have 1t used to make export bounty payments.
 The demand for retention, in resolution urging development of foreign markets, was inserted as 8 compromise to some farm leaders favoring a new farm-aid program based on cost of production or ex- port subsidies.
 Cost of Production
 E. E. Kennedy, representing the Farmers Union on the committee of B which drew up the resolution, argued for cost of production guar antees. The union has long held cost of production as one of it's ba- sic principles. -l
 He accepted the export bounty recommendation, when he found other members of the committee committed definitely to the soil conservation plan.
 The National Grange was expect cd at Q meeting of it's executive committee to-day to adopt resolu- tions approving the program worked out at last weeks farm-leader meeting,
 The National Agricultural Con- ference is to meet here Thursday with approval of the program.
 Farm Areas I'm Quandary
 At Capitol Hill, representatives of farm areas were in 8 quandary. Personally. they were for the most part in favor of using the 30 per cent of the customs for the agricul- tural development. But those re- garded as administration support CTS withheld comment until the president has chance to make Q further statement.
 The act was introduced by Chair man Marvin Jones of the house agriculture committee. He spon- sored 1t through congress, but de- clined to comment on his attitude to-day.
