buttressed by Federal loans and

soil conservation and ever normal"

Chairman Smith, Democrat, OF
South Carolina appointed Senators
Ellender, Democrat of Louisiana; Nc
Gill, Democrat, of Kansas; Bankhead,
Democrat, of Alabama, and Bilbo,
Democrat, of Mississippi to draft the
committee report for filing in the
Senate Debate probably will start

A House subcommittee studying
wheat control also developed spend
ing penchant in recommending an
appropriation of S85,000,00O for bene-
fit payments. If adopted by the full
committee, said Representative Pierce,
Democrat. of Oregon the House Ways
and Means Committee will be asked
to raise the funds probably through
excise or processing taxes.
The complex Senate bill, approved
unanimously by the committee, pro-
vided that parity payments vary &C
cording to conditions produced by crop
volume. They would be low in lean
years and high in seasons of extreme
oversupplies, the object being to guar
sntee producers the difference between
the current market quotations and a
parity price level
Parity is reached when farmers get
price equivalent in purchasing power
to the price received in the favorable
period from 1909 to 1914. 1t does
not have to be the prewar price. but
1t must be one that will buy as much
in terms of non-farm products us
farmers purchased during those years.
AS far as they were sufficient, bene-
fits under the present soil conservation
program would be diverted to parity
payments on wheat, corn and cotton.
Tobacco, rice and other commodities
not covered in the new bill would
continue to share conservation subsi-
dies after deduction of about $780,

FOR POSITIVE AID
Urges Powers Reconsider
Indefinite Suspension
of Conference.
BY the Associated Press.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 22.-Dr. v. K.
Wellington Koo, Chinese delegate to
the Brussels Conference, today ap-
pealed to the participating powers for
more positive action" to end the
Chinese se-Japanese conflict than "pious
professions OF faith in the pledged
word"
He urged the powers to reconsider
proposed report which calls for in
definite suspension of the parley and
declared that IAN abortive ending of
this conference will unWittingly aug
ment the already prevailing sense of
insecurity"
The conferees, nevertheless, pro-
ceeded to study the report which re-
views the conferences efforts to set
tie the Chinese-Japanese conflict and
concludes that the efforts have failed.
Lack Of Fruitful Results.
Declaring that the conference had
had "a striking lack of fruitful results,
DR.. Koo said the Chinese delegation
reserved the right to propose amend
ments to the report after consultation
with the Chinese government.
He told the conferees that their
action may indirectly place small OF
weak states more at the mercy OF the
strong and aggressive and make al
peace loving nations feel more inse-
cure than ever
will you not with your unlimited
resources of power and strength con-
tribute your share by some positive
action, even though it may be indirect
to the cause Of upholding the princi-
pies of law and order. world security
and world peace?" he asked.
'Or do you really believe that simply
declarations Of principles and pious
professions Of faith in the pledged
word will be sufficient to make the
one and the other observed and re.
spected in the World?"
