Telephone Used for
Diplomatic Service

Use of the telephone for informal
discussions between twenty-one Amer
lean republics was strongly advocated
by Secretary of State Hull at the
Inter- American Conference at Buenos
Aires recently, according to the daily
press. The American delegation thinks
that by using the telephone when q
difficulty arises, time can be gained ip
heading off trouble before it becomes
serious.
Elaborate Cancellation and arbitra-
tion machinery exists now in a network
of treaties, but this machinery is 50
cumbersome that it takes six months
to get it moving. The American
delegation hopes to establish the habit
Of using the long distance telephone

VALUE OF EROSION CONTROL TO
BE DETERMINED BY SURVEYS

With view to determining the
value of erosion control methods Ia
effect In the three project and camp
work areas of the Soil Conservation
Service in Maryland, farm manage
ment surveys will be made, according
to o. G. Bruce, State Coordinator.
Working with the University of
Maryland and specialists from the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics of
the U. S. d. A., technical men in each
of the areas have been directed t.
make surveys on individual farms
whose owners are cooperating In put.
ting into effect measures designed to
stop soil and water losses.
Farm account and farm manage
ment records completed by the STATE
College or Experiment Station are be-
ing studied to determine what use
can be made of them from the stand
point of soil and water conservation
measures.
Mr.. Bruce states that farm man
agement surveys made, of the indi'
vidual farms in the erosion control
areas before field work was started
are included in the program. Such
information includes acres in various
crops, meadow, pasture, woods, and
idle or waste land the yields per
acre of various crops, amounts of
crops sold, type and number of live
stock, and the amount of feed pur-
chased.
From time to time, 1t is stated,
special information may be needed,
such as finding out il a change ir
crop rotation may be practicable on a
farm, determining whether certain
crop is useful In farm plan, or per
haps comparing the cost of farming
cultivated fields by contour strip
with the former method of farming
rectangular fields with rows running
up and down hill.
The survey will be broad enough
Mr. Bruce declares, to show the &C,
ual dollar-and-cents damage erosio,
does to individual farms, as well
savings which have resulted aftel
erosion control measures were put
into effect. 1t will supply answers
to such questions as the effect of soil
conservation measures in lessenins
erosion damages to highways, in cut
ting down sitting of streams and res
ervoirs, in reducing the danger of
floods, and in other problems brought
about by unwise use of farm land.

FUNDS ASKED TO BATTLE FARM
TENANCY

Washington, March 11-A House
committee, wrestling with proposals
to convert thousands Of the nations
nearly 100000 farm tenants into
owner-operators, tentatively has APP
proved a measure to provide $780,
900, 900 yearly to assist them in pur-
chasing land.
An additional $75,0OO,OOO would
be authorized to keep small owners
from slipping into tenancy.
A confidential draft of the bill
showed, however, the committee has
rejected Secretary Wallace's sugges-
lion for a government land-control
policy.
But Chairman Jones (D-Tex) of
he agriculture committee argued the
ambitious tenant farmer would want
% pay for his farm as soon as posi-
ole and operate it without govern
nent supervision.
Farm tenancy is nearly as old as
he human race, but federal studies
show it has been on the increase.
Fifty years ago, only one farmer in
four did not own the land he worked.
To-day, two out of five are tenants.
Many of the others owe mortgages
and debts as large as their equities.
Tenancy varies over the country,
covering more than SO per cent of all
farms in the cotton and tobacco re-
gions of the South, so per cent in the
corn belt and less than 10 per cent
n New England.
Because converting all these ten
ants into landowners is considered
IN impossible task, the committees
bill provides that part Of the money
should be used to help the masses of
tenants, share-croppers, and farm Ia
borers improve their living standards.
The vastness of the entire problem
was shown by Secretary Wallace's es-
innate that it would take $50,00O,-
900 annually for 23O years to provide
every present tenant with a $4,000
farm.

Australia has been connected with the

SOCIAL PREMIUM PLAN FOR
AUTOMOBILE SAFETY

The records show that $4,000 peo-
pie are killed each year in the United
States by automobile drivers. In
Maryland last year over 500 people
were killed in automobile accidents,
and 30 far this year the number kill
ed is over one hundred, which Is
twice as many as this time last year
Accidents just don't happen, and
q large percentage can be prevented
Drastic laws have failed, and re-
examination of licensed drivers will
not keep the reckless drivers from
having accidents.
All other plans have failed, and DR..
Chas. J. Wells, vice-president of Bal
timore City Council, sponsors plan
to award honor badges to careful
auto drivers.
The plan, known as the Social
Premium Plan For Automobile Safe
ty" has been embodied in legisla-
tive measure, known as House Bill
No. 81, and been passed by the House
Of Delegates at the present session OF
the Maryland Legislature.
The plan is, briefly: The State will
award an Honor or Merit emblem
with each license plate. They are to
be worn over both license plates,
front and back. These honor badges
will be revoked by the Commissioner
OF Automobiles, or other authorized
jurisdictions, upon conviction -
gross negligence or other major vio-
lations, in addition to the presen
fines and penalties being made. The
driver thus penalized will be given /.
pink operators card in place of thu
present green one, and they will b.
compelled to drive during the period
Of probation without the Honor Tage
A severe penalty is recommended for
one using the Honor tags while hold
ing his pink card. AS drivers keep
their emblem unsettled they will b.
given additional rewards Tor eacn
year of safe driving. Thus creating
the example necessary to reclaim the
careless driver.
The Social Premium Plan would
not only give the careful motorist the
honor he deserves, but it would pub
licly advertise the careless driver,
keeping him continually in the public
eye as motorist who had no regard
for others; pointing out to the police
the ten per cent of motorists who are
responsible for almost all of the acct
dents.
It is an inexpensive plan, requiring
no additinal taxes to put it in oper-
alton.

DELEGATES ATTEND PEACE
CONFERENCE
Held In Washington BY Committee
On Cause And Cure Of War

Held In Washington BY Committee
On Cause And Cure Of War
A special conference OF small
group of delegates from the eleven
National Women's Organizations
which make up the National Commit
tee on the Cause and Cure of War,
met in Washington on March 2, and
4, to consider methods Of carrying
out the program adopted by the An
nual Conference held this year at
Chicago in January.
At the sessions which were only
attended by the delegates and guest
speakers the subjects of Trade Agree
ments, Neutrality and National De-
Tense were considered as well as
methods and general policy of thu
organization.
It was an interesting coincidence
that Neutrality bill was passed by the
Senate while the conference was in
session. The Pittman Bill adds sew
eral more provisions than the legis-
lation which it is aimed to replace
and it is to be hoped that the Nc
Reynolds Bill in the House which
most nearly resembles 1t will also
pass and that the compromise bill
will include all the best features Of
each.
On March 4, several of the dele
gates attended a hearing arranged
by the Women's International Leagu >
before the House Committee on Mill
tary Affairs at which Stephne Rau-
shenbush spoke for the group in re-
gard to the Hill Sheppard Bill which
is called the bill to take the profits
out of war. With his wide expert
ence as investigator for the Senate
Munitions Investigation Committee
and in activities in many other lines
he was very ably qualified to bring
out the weaknesses of the bill and to
suggest as he was asked to do, some
more effective methods of taxation
to curb the lust for gain Of the NUM-
ton makers. He also showed the
difficulties in the way of drafting the
industry of the county as well as the
manpower in case of an emergency
as proposed by the bill.
One comes home from such an ex-
perience more than ever persuaded
that if the nations of the world would
really prepare for peace it must be
done by peace methods rather than
by war methods, and rejoice that
here are definite efforts being made
to find the peace methods even while
The nations seem bent on mad rae :
in ornaments.
Attending the Conference from the
National Women's Christian Temper-
ance Union were: Mrs. Ida B. Wise
Smith, President; DR.. Izora Scott,
Legislation Director; Mrs. Ada 6.

Anna Lee Waller, Pres. Delaware,
