to afflicted farmers. But this, of
course, is simply temporary eX-
pedient, and will so.ve no perm
anent problem. Big question in
this connection is: What is the
future of the drought area-of
the states which have most often
! suffered from rainfall deficiency?
And the answer to that, accord
ing to the experts, is far from OPP
ttimistic.
These experts say that a large
part of the United States-in-
Guiding the areas where our prin-
c;pa. dry wheat farming is car
ried on-are tasically unfit to
maintain life. To make them fit,
measures must be taken to pre-
serve that scarce necessity, mois-
ture. When these areas were first
developed, the land was moist
! enough-from years in which it
was not used for production-to
survive a number of droughts.
But now that reservoir of mois-
ture is gone. Here is how News
| Week puts it: "For a few years
the moisture stored in the soil by
centuries, combined with unusual
ly heavy rainfall, preserved the
, farmers investments. But by
1884, the twin dust bowls of the
Dakotas and their Southern sis
ters-Oklahoma, Kansas and Tex
as-were beginning to develop.
During black Spring and Summer
storms. winds whipped great
clouds of rich top soil from the
denuded earth and swirled it East
ward as far as thd Atlantic. Plain
citizens and scientists alike be-
gan to shake uneasy heads. How
many droughts like the 1934's
,, bonfire could the West endure
?"
Solution, according to these
same experts, is Cor Middlewest-
ern and Northwestern farmers to
use less land for dry wheat farm
ing, to allow more land to grow
grass. This grass helps prevent
evaporation of precious moisture,
and also fights against the blow
ing off of top soil by wind or the
the running off of top soil by
heavy rains.
/ In the meantime, other experts
are busy guessing at how much of
loss in crop return the farmer
has suffered.
Some authorities place total
loss at more than 100000, 900.
In unaffected sections, such as
the Pacific Northwest, farmers
will benefit through higher prices
| for grains.
The Lemke Union Party move
ment may be even more of a fac
tor in the 1886 election than was
first believed.
Officially, the Townsend or
ganization will endorse no candi-
date-but its leaders are known
to be strong for Lemke, and it is
believed their followers will band
together in his behalf in large
numbers. And his strength is APP
parently on the rise in the North
west and, to a lesser extent, in
the Middle West and Far West.

(Dy Associated PIcssl
FARIS, July 28.-Resident
General Marcel Peyrouton, fig.
uratively, has hung out a Man at
Work" sign on his Moroccan post
and wants no interference from
Paris.
Frances section of the Empire
of Morocco, in principle an alb
solute monarchy under Sultan
Sid Mohammed, has given the
mc,sher country a series of cole.
nial headaches in the past.
+ Peyrouton, who learned about
North Africa in Algeria and
Tunis, has promised ito make Mo.
rocco a model protectorate-if
Premier Leon Blum's government
lets him stay.
The Sultan's subject in the
mountains, who gave both France
and Spain a long fight before
.Abd-el-Krim and his harem were
exiled to the Isle of Reunion
have been pacified, French colo,
NAL officials say.
Religious Unrest Dies
Pan-Arab and pan-Islam agita-
ton carries little weight in Mo-
rocco, they add, because Sultan
Sid Mohammed is the religious
defender OF the Faith" for Mo
roccan Mohammedans.
Knottiest problem remaining ir
Morocco is the economic depres-
sion, and Peyrouton's main job is
to bring back prosperity.
His predecessor. Henri Ponsot
left his post to become Frances
ambassador to Turkey when Ber-
Der and Arab chieftains decided q
change of the French resident
general might help the depression
Moroccans Want Peyrouton
Moroccan colonials, who sent a
delegation to Paris to ask Blum to
keep Peyrouton on the job, said
they believed he could solve Mo-
rocco's economic problems, if he
could keep French politics out.
Recently, however, old Berbers
who knew that Morocco's standard
since the Arab invasion of the
eleventh century has been red
flag, were startled to see young
Moroccans under the communist
red flag fighting other Meroccans
carrying the Sultan's red flag.
While rightists warn Premier
Blum's government to keep poll
tics out of Morocco" political OBJ
servers at home ask what the
leftist governments attitude will
be toward Peyrouton, who was
known as a moderate centrist in
politics before he went to Africa.
The French government, COM
batting Algerian agitation of a
potentially revolutionary nature,
has extended a two-fold promise
to natives of it's North African
territory-suppression if violence
persists, benefits if peace is re-
stored.
Governor General Georges La
Beau carried the alternative back
to Algiers after a flying trip to
Paris during which he conferred
with the chiefs of the leftist Peo-
pies Front.
Acknowledging agitation of
an essentially political character"
officials said useful dispositions
were taken to suppress all public
disorder"
A series of legislative bills de-
signed to give greater freedom
were considered, on the other
hand, to be brought forth when
and if the situation quiets.
"The government is. in fact,
equally determined to assure
maintenance of public order and
to grant progressively to Algeria
new legislation. inspired by a
spirit of greater democracy" they
declared.
