Matter Of Urgency
Colony For Jews is Aim
OF Britain, U. S. in
Hasty Negotiations

LONDON, Nov. II. (UP)
p m e Minister Neville
Chamberlain told the House
of Commons today that the
government is treating the
problem of settling Jewish refugees
from Germany in the British col
onies as matter of urgency.
Chamberlain said he has taken
up the question with several colon
ial governors, including the COVER
nor of Tanganyika, East Africa, and
hoped to be able to make state
ment next week
Chamberlain's promise of state
ment was taken as an indication
that Britain and the United States
nave reached an agreement on
reScuing some 100000 Jews from
their plight in Germany, and that
only details need to be worked out.
The government canvassed many
parts of the empire for suitable
settlement places. British Guiana
was among those considered, pro-
vided sufficient funds can be rails
ed in the United States and else
where to finance the development

SACRAMENTO, Nov. II.
(UP)-Four days of discus
sion on vital farming prob
lens neared a close today
as $500 delegates to the goth
annual California farm bureau con-
vention attended concluding Ses-
sionS
Election of officers, adoption OF
resolutions and presentation of
awards remained on the schedule,
Labor and agriculture, medical
care for rural people, and the sub
ject of rural disqualification were
treated in the final addresses today
Holmes Bishop, of Orange, presi-
dent of the Associated Farmers OF
California, Inc, discussed the prob
lem of excessive transient labor and
the difficult problem of maintain
ing high agricultural wages in face
of a declining farm INCOME.
California Farmers have been and
are paying the highest wage of any
state in the union," Bishop said
The farmer must stand on the
premise that wages must be baseo
on the ability to pay and the sup
ply should not enter in. Fixed
charges are dangerous to the farm
er because there is no requirement
that the worker must return any
definite accomplishment
