China joined hands with the national

Tense against the invaders. What, in
Japan's eyes, heightens the impress

Meeting at Nuremberg.
The contrast between fascism and
liberalism was also emphasized at
Nuremberg where the German ma
tional-socialistic party last week held
its annual meeting. In almost every
speech delivered by Adolf Hitler,
Josef Goebbels, Hermann Wilhelm
Goering and Rudolf Hess, there was
a direct attack on the principle of
democracy. Again and again it was
pointed out that only fascist coun-
tries are intelligently governed, and
that freedom and democracy have
become obsolete concepts. Freedom
of the press also was scored, in fact,
everything in connection with which
freedom can be associated.
There was, however, less outspoken
criticism of Russia than last year
when Hitler-also at Nuremberg
denounced the government at Moscow.
Defiance of Russia was still very evil
dent, but the tone of the various
speeches was a good deal less fiery
than year ago. Hitler apparently
is little more diffident about irritat-
ing the Soviets than he was in 1886,

non-member, is to be invited to ap-
pear and, for the purpose immedi-
ately at hand, accept the obligations
and privileges of membership. Japan
already has made it rather plain that
she will reject any invitation of this
nature, and the League will then,
probably, discuss the feasibility of
applying sanctions. But the League
has been singularly unfortunate in
making its influence felt, for not only
did it fail to prevent Japan's conquest
of Manchuria-it also proved its in
ability to stop Italy from appropri-
ating Ethiopia even though sanctions
were put into effect in a, however,
most inadequate manner
These circumstances, coupled with
the fact that Japan does not con-
slider the invasion of China an actual
war, will make it exceedingly i'm
probable that the League can or will
do anything in connection with the
Asiatic crisis.
To Keep Watch.
While the war between China and
Japan goes on undated, the Spanish
civil war a few days ago came pretty
close to causing international COM
plications of incalcuable significance.
Ships of various nations have recently
been torpedoed or attacked by bombs
from the air, and in several cases
it was claimed that the torpedoeing
was done by non-Spanish submarine
of unknown nationality; France and
Great Britain whispered that the
name of the country to which the
submarine belonged was Italy, but
Russia bluntly and openly in two
notes to Rome made the charge that
Italy was the actual culprit. The
Italian government replied that it
could not accept responsibility, and
for a while things looked serious to
such an extent that diplomatic
breach between Russia and Italy
seemed inevitable, with the POSSIBLE
ity of a war looming in the back
ground. ---... .,...
Quick Action.
Sensing the danger Great Britain
and France acted quickly, suggesting
to all nations interested in shipping
on the Mediterranean Sea a con-
ference at the tiny Swiss town of
Nyon. Italy, invited, refused to come;
Germany and Albania refused-be-
cause Italy did.
The meeting then proceeded with
out the participation of these three
countries, and from the very be-
ginning the British and French for

ROOSEVELT URGES
CROP INSURANCE
IN MESSAGE
Recommends Storage Sys-
tenn of Reserves for Sur.
pluSeS in Good Years.
PROGRAM MUST INCLUDE
CONSERVATION OF SOIL
Farmer Would Be Protected Up
to 75 Per Cent on His n
NAL Yield.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt recommended
to Congress today adoption of a sys-
tenn Of crop insurance to provide the
farmer with a buffer against dis
astrous crop failures.
He said such insurance, coupled
with q system of storage reserves for
crop surpluses In good years. would
assist in providing a more nearly
even flow of farm supplies, thus
stabilizing farm buying power and
contributing to the security of busi-
ness and employment.
"A program of crop insurance and
storage of reserves" he said, should
be part Of the foundation of agricul-
tural policy which we are building
and which must include the conser-
vation Of soil and water, better land
use, increased farm income, and al
deviation OF distress in rural areas
arising out Of factors beyond the
control of individuel producers"
Gives Congress Report.
The President sent to Congress
with his message a report of his
special committee of Government Of
ficials which planned the insurance
program.
Under the program. the insured
farm would be protected against such
natural hazards as drought, grass
hoppers and hail.
The farmer would be protected up
to Is per cent of his normal yield.
Thus If he lost his wheat crop which
would have returned him IL bushels
to the acre, he would be protected
against nine bushels of the loss. He
would be paid either in the COM
modify or its cash equivalent.
The President recommended that
crop insurance be extended to wheat
for the crop year, 1888.
Il believe that legislation should
authorize application of similar pro-
grams to other commodities, he said,
when 1t is established that producers
desire them and application of the
plan to wheat has provided q back
log Of experience in applying the prin-
ciples Of crop insurance"
Too Big for Private Firms.
The committee of Federal officials
who planned the insurance program
told Mr.. Roosevelt 1t was too large
an undertaking for private companies "
They said the Federal Government
could well afford" to pay admins
trative" and overhead costs for the
plan to protect farmers against crop
losses by drought and other "unavoid-
able disasters"
Secretary Wallace. chairman of the
committee, said the plan would have
the effect of storing up reserves of
wheat in years of large crops and re-
leasing them on the market in years
of crop failure"
The insurance was not Substitute"
for any other Federal farm measures,
he said, but rather supplementary"
Estimating more than 5000 900 900
in Federal funds had been expended in
the last 10 years for distressed farmers
who lost crops, the Insurance Com
mittee said much of this would be
eliminated by assisting wheat farm
ers to assist themselves"
