than strife i'm this country, Dr..
Spencer Miller, Jr., of New York,

farm OUTPUT,
.CONSUMP
NOT BALANCED
National Grange Secretary
Cation Tells Pomona Unit
of Need For This

The need of balance between
production and consumption of
fran products in the United
States was stressed by Harry H.
Cation, of Cochocton, Ohio, secre-
tary Of the National Grange, at
a meeting of the Henderson coun-
ty Pomona Grange at the Mills
River school yesterday afternoon.
In spite of rainy weather, a
large crowd of farmers attended
the meeting. originally scheduled
to be held at the North Mills
River recreational area.
"The American farmer" Mr..
Cation said, "has lost many
world markets and the only solu-
ton to the farm problem is for
US to make production equal con-
sumption"
At the same time he pointed
out that 1.-The American people
should use the products Of
American farms instead Of i'm
porting agricultural pr d u )
from other countries"
Most farm problems must be
solved locally, he said, but some
of the most important farm prob
lens have now reached the point
where action by the federal gov
eminent is necessary.
One of the great problems of
the American farmer tday, he
said, is the fact that there was no
longer any frontier in this nation
and no free land remaining.
He credited the Grange with
being able to keep low interest
rate on farm mortgages.
Mr.. Cation was presented to his
Henderson county audience by
Harry B. Caldwell, of Green's
boro, State Master of the North
Carolina Grange.

HULL DEMANDS
SHOW down IN
OIL SEIZURES
Sharp Note to Mexico Says
No Earnest Effort Made
For Compensation
REJECTION OF NOTE
BY MEXICO is SEEN

WASHINGTON, July %. (uP)
Secretary Of State COrdell Hull
last night demanded showdown
with Mexico Oh payment FOR Elk
propriattd land and oil properties
owned by Americans.
LII 4 formal note handed to
Mexican Ambassador Francisco
Castillo Najera, Secretary Hull
proposed that an international
court Of arbitration be established
to determine whether the MeXi-
can government shall pay for the
appropriated property and, II 50,
how much and what the payment
terms should be.
Hull bluntly accused the Mex
can government of failing to
make an earnest effort to pay for
appropriated American owned
farm lands in Mexico and propoS-
ed the monetary settlement by
international arbitration.
Najera was called to the state
department to receive the COM
munication. The usually joyial
diplomat emerged after an hours
conference with beads Of perSpl-
raion Oh his brow and very glum.
He waved reporters aside with 4
curt "no comment" but paused
long eonugh to deny recurring
rumorS that he had resigned.
The note set forth that the
Mexican governments action in
Selling the property of foreign
nationals without making ust
compensation was JeopardlZlng
not only the good neighbor'
policy but the whole really Of
amicable international relations.
"The taking of property with
out compensation" Hull wrote,
is not appropriation. 1t is cOntiS-
cation. 1t is no less coniScatlUn
because there may be expressed
intent to pay at some time IN the
future
Although Hull made no men
ton Of Mexico's recent eXprola-
ton of 100000 of American
owned oil properties veteran dip
lomatS believed his arbitration
proposal is preliminary to similar
actions in the petroleum eases.
"Since the right of compenSa-
ton is unquestioned," Hull wrote,
at cannot be conceived that IN
sistance on it by this government
should impair in any way the
warm friendship which exists be-
tween our gOVernmentS) {. one
of the greatest services we can
render is to pursue, and to urge
others to pursue, policy Of fair
dealing and fair play based upon
law and justice.
He noted that Agrarian eX-
priation in Mexico began in 1918
but that not a single American
claim has been adjusted.
"None Of them (the properties
as yet has been paid for" he said.

He then accused the CardenaS
regime of ignoring an inquiry
sent last month regarding the
