Nv the example and warnings of

departure from ur traditional

1--WE are convinced that if Mr..
Roosevelt succeeds in his attempt
tn make himself the first third
term president of the United
States. our democratic system of
government is gravely menaced.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been entrust-
ed with greater powers than any
other peace-time president and is
seeking to increase those powers.
His open and shameless attack -on
the supreme court in 1887; his
control of many billions of dollars
of public funds; his selfish eli
mination of all other democratic
candidates r the presidential
nomination this year; and his de-
fiance of the hallowed tradition of
our country against three terms
for any PRESIDENTIAL these are
danger signals indicating plainly
that under Mr.. Roosevelt this ma
ton is headed toward dictatorship
in fact if not in name"
Among signers were James Turs-
low Adams, historian; Richard F.

PARIS, March 18.-If the sur

Meanwhile, Premier Daladier on
whom parliamentary pressure has

Political sources expected new ap-
pointments would be announced
after the Chamber of Deputies de-
bate tomorrow on general govern
ment policy on the conduct of the
war and on the Russian Finnish
peace.
The governments position on
peace with security" has been stat

that the French government could
not trust the Nazi regime was
prompted by the belief that the Hit
ler-Mussolin talks presaged peace
negotiations.

Because Sumner Wells, the Amer

view was that American sympathies
are with Britain and France. Presi-

on his climb of 22,834-foot Mount
Aconcagua on the Argentine Chilean

OF a gale-torn tent and disorderly
remains of camp within 464 feet
of the summit led experienced
Andes scalers to express the belief
that he had been swept to his death.

Father Kastellic started to scale
the peak with three colleagues, but
after several days of bucking bad

the climb.
The priests companions, however,
were unable to dissuade him and

Debt-Payment Terms
For 100000 Farmers
DeIinquents, Hit
By Crop Failures,
Are Benefited
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Extending of easier debt-payment
terms to 100000 farmers in the
Great Plains area was announced
today by A. G.. Black, governor of
the Farm Credit Administration.
The loans, made by Federal Land
Banks, have been rearranged to give
the borrowers a longer period in
which to meet installments and pay
up the balance on these debts.
The liberalized terms were ex-
tended, Mr.. Black said, to farmers
who had suffered crop failures be-
cause Of severe drought and as a
consequence had become delinquent
in meeting their F. c. A. debt pay
mentS.
Subject to Controversy.
The policy of allowing more liberal
terms to hard-pressed farmers has
been the subject of a sharp con-
troversy since it was inaugurated on
a large scale after President Roose-
velt placed the F. C. A. under control
of Secretary Wallace last summer
Several top-ranking officials have
resigned because they disagreed with
it. Prior to placing of the agency
under Secretary Wallace, it had fol-
lowed what officials called strict
banking policy.
Mr.. Black reported also that "sev-
eral thousand" other F. c. A. bor-
rowers had received benefits of
other recently announced debt
payment plans under which INSTALL
ments are suspended until the
debtors income improves.
Commenting on the F. C. AS new
program, the Governor said many
thousands of heavily indebted
farmers have taken a new lease
on life and greater interest in their
properties because of the oppor-
tunity to remain on the land and
re-establish their equities"
Sees Successful Results.
"Of course" he added, "the out
come for many seriously delinquent
farmers depends on climatic condi-
tions, crops and prices, but there
is reason to believe many of them
will work out"
The Governor reported that 254,-
900 land bank and commissioner
loans, involving 1862, $4,000, were
delinquent on January /. Many
were delinquent, he said, because
they required principal payments
which were too heavy" for many
farmers.
