Council Opposes
Arab Control Of
The Holy Land
AFL Appeals To Britoin To
Keep Pledge To Jews
In Palestine

Washington, D. C.-The Executive
Council Of the American Federation of
Labor, in session here, protested vigor-
ously against the British governments
decision to establish an Independent
Palestine under Arab control. The po-
sition of the Council was made public
IN the following statement issued by
President William Green:
"The Executive Council of the
American Federation Of Labor learned
through press reports of the probable
abandonment Of the Balfour Declara-
ton by the British Government. Such
action ON the part of the British Gov
ernment would be complete repudi-
alton of it's solemn pledge and promise
to the world to maintain Jewish Ma
tional House in Palestine.
"The working people of the United
States accepted with a feeling Of pro-
found satisfaction the pledge and
promise of the British Government to
carry out and apply the principles and
policies enunciated in the Balfour Dec
laration within the inundated territory
of Palestine over which Great Britain
exercises administrative control. The
contemplated change in British policy
as enunciated in press dispatches if
put into effect will be accepted by the
working people of the United States
as an act of bad faith and a refusal
to keep a promise solemnly made.
"The Executive Council appeals to
the government of Great Britain to
keep it's pledged word, to carry out
it's solemn promise to make Palestine
homeland for Jewish people. In this
tragic hour of Jewish persecution,
there is greater need for the main
tenance of the open door in Palestine
and the extension of the widest oppor-
tunity for prosecuted Jewish people
and Jewish refugees to enter Pales-
tine, to make their homes there and
to find a refuge from the destructive
persecution which is being inflicted up
on them by those who preach and
practice racial hate.
"It is unthinkable and inconceivable
that the British Government would de-
sert the cause of humanity at period
in the worlds history when civilization
is hanging in the balance.
"In the name of the millions of
men and women associated with the
American Federation of Labor, the
Council appeals to the British Gov
ernment to reaffrm and carry out the
Balfour Declaration, a solemn conven-
ant and solemn pact made with the
hearts, the minds and the conscience
of the world. We urge that the open
door be maintained in Palestine, the
one place yet remaining where Jew
ish people can live their normal lives
free from racial hate and persecution.
"This appeal is directed to the Brit
ish Government and the British peo-
Pile in the name and in behalf Of the
five million working men and women
associated with the A. F. of l.. and
those dependent upon them."

Benefit Payments
Will Be Reduced
Formers Con Expect
18 to u Cents Per BusheI
Under Program
BY the Associated Press.


The Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
miniStration announced today that
wheat farmers would receive bene-
fit payments of 18 to % cents a
bushel for complying with the 1910
crop-control program.
This is from to 10 cents a
bushel less than payments Of %
cents on the 1889 crop. officials
explained that the national wheat
acreage allotment of 81 1000 900 acres
for next year was larger than this
years allotment of 55000.000 acres,
thus causing the reduced payments.
The benefit payments are based
on normal yield on acreage allot-
ments to the individual farmers
The A. A. A. said the l8-to-22-
cent range included both conserva-
ton and price adjustment payments
from the s725 ,0O0, 900 provided by
Congress for payments on wheat,
corn, cotton, tobacco and rice.
More definite rates for the 1910
wheat payments cannot be de-
termined, officials said, until lnfor-
nation on 1889 is more complete and
allotments are established for all
1910 crops that will share in the
payments.
Prospective payment rates were
announced at this time, the A. A. A.
said, lin order that wheat farmers
who are making plans now for 1910
seedlings may know approximately
what payments they can earn
Earlier, the Agriculture Depart
ment had announced an increase of
Is cents barrel in export subsidies
for wheat -four.
This boosted -four subsidies for
Pacific Coast ports to $155 barrel
for shipments to China and Hong
Kong; sl45 to the Philippine Islands
and so to other foreign countries.
Flour exported from all other
United States ports received a sub
sidy of $l55 barrel.

William Taggart, the young law
student, was stymied today. He
can't get any more parking tickets
in the parks.
Traffic Court Judge Edward M.
Curran dealt the blow by suspend
ing sentence in two of eight cases
against the young man, whose
hobby is fighting parking charges.
His right hand raised, Mr.. Tag
CART took the following oath from
Clerk Gregory Cipriani: THE court
suspends imposition of sentence and
takes your personal bond on condi-
ton that you will not repeat the
offenSe."
The 27-year-old former Columbus

Poland to Break Up
Estates AIonq Border

WARSAW. Aug. 18 R-Through
new presidential decree. an
nounced officially today, the Polish
minister of war and interior were
given authority to divide and par
cel' large landed estates along the
Polish German frontier for rea-
sons of security of state or defense
of frontiers"
This new authority which permits
of no exceptions or exemptions,
applies to belt or frontier land
from to 20 miles wide along the
border. Within this belt" in Silesia
and the Polish Corridor Provinces
of Posnania and Pomorze are located
large number of German-owned
estates.
This idea of division of land is
not new in Poland. 1t began in the
summer of 1920 with a government
promise to the land-hungry Poles
that victory over the Bolshevists
would see the large estates broken
up. This was translated into law In
1920.

Leche and Weiss
Took S148,000 Graft,
Prosecutor Asserts
One Of Most VenuI
Single DeoIs He Ever
Sow, Roeee Declares
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DALLAS. Tex. Aug. l8-Assistant
United States Attorney General o.
John Rogge charged today in Fed
eral Court that former Gov Richard
Leche of Louisiana and Seymour
Weiss Louisiana political figure, had
accepted graft in one of the most
venal single transactions ever came
across
The Federal prosecutor appeared
at hearing for the removal to
Louisiana of Freeman Burford Dali
las independent oil operator, charged
jointly with Leche and Weiss with
violation of the Connally Hot Oil
Act
Rogge described the alleged pay
ment of $148 900 by Burford in con-
nection with the piping of oil from
the rich Rodessa field in Northwest
Louisiana into Texas.
THE central fact in this case is
that the East Texas Refining Co.
did pay $4,000 to Weiss said Mr.
Rogge. "Of that. Leche and Weiss
eacn took SGT 900. Weiss was high
in Louisiana political circles. The
two held high official positions.
Leche was Governor elect.
They got together and divided
s134,000, and the Governor elect
took 81 81 900 bills from Weiss.
Call it anything you like-com-
mission or anything else-but it was
payment of graft. The two most
reprehensible persons were Leche
and Weiss"
If anybody is in doubt and Won
ders if the Government is going to
continue it's Louisiana investigation,
I will say we are getting at the big
violators first" Mr.. Rogge said.
This has been the most venal
single violation found. If we can
get others, we don't care who they
are"
Will Harris, attorney for Burford,
said:
To transfer a man into a State
which is a cauldron of partisan
politics, like Louisiana, is like send
ing a man into lions den. He
has had no part in Louisiana
affairs.
Mr.. Burford sold his pipeline to
the biggest pipeline company in
Louisiana and paid Weiss a COM
mission. There is not a line of evi-
dence that he had ever had any
contact with Leche. He never paid
Weiss anything but a commission. :"

Germany and Hungary
Reported in Agreement

BERLIN. Aug 18 tP).-Hungary's
foreign minister. Count Stefan Csaky
left Germany today after three
day visit which stirred significant
speculation and left behind some
confusion as to its purpose and
results.
DNB, official German news agency
circulated denial that Csaky saw
either Adolf Hitler or the Ger
man foreign minister, Joachim Won
Ribbentrop.
On the other hand, Dienst Aus
Deutschland observed that Csaky's
visit made evident that Hungary
and Germany "see completely eye to
eye as regards their conception of
cooperating politically"
Individual German editors, trusted
for their reliability by their foreign
colleagues, went even further. They
said unreservedly that Hungary
now was Germany's comrade in
arms "waffenbruder'D and would
act with Germany, come what may.
Time of Meetings Revealed.
Local correspondents of various
foreign news agencies at Salzburg
had readily obtained information as
to the exact hours of the Hitler
Csaky and Csaky- -Ribbentrop meet
ings.
Cars of the Hungarian foreign
minister and his aides were seen
travelling in the direction necessary
to hold these meetings.
Foreign correspondents recalled
that denial originally was made Of
the visit of Prof. Carl Burckhardt,
League of Nations commissioner for
Danzig, to the Hitler mountain re-
treat.
They also recalled that Minister
of the Interior Wilhelm Frick, who
acted as Count Csakys host, never
dabbles in foreign politics.
The conclusion therefore was
voiced that the "comradeship in
arms" of which Nazi editors spoke
could only have been welded by
talks with persons other than Frick.
Neutrality Expected.
The conclusion also was drawn
that in the event of a clash on the
eastern frontier Germany could
count on an extremely benevolent
neutrality from Hungary.
Such an attitude on Hungary's
part would indicate a complete re-
versal of her former cordial rela-
tlonS with Poland When Hungary
annexed Carpatho Ukraine last
spring there were joyful celebra-
tions over the achievement of the
long awaited common border" with
Poland.
Whether Csaky would be able to
swing the whole policy of the Hun
garlan government of Premier
Count Paul Teleky remained un-
certain. But the German wish to
have strong and completely SYM
pathetic ally near the Balkans
seemed to be step nearer realiza-
ton as result of Csaky's visit.
