was any thought of his being called
into military service they declared
his work indispensable That
opinion is emphasized today by
Representative Rabaut of Michigan
and Tarver of Georgia, chairmen
of the two subcommittee drafting
these appropriations bills. Both
would like to see Mr.. McFall ex-
cused from military service because
of his personal value to the House

Farley DeadIocked
On Plan for Higher
Federal Crop Loans
Arguments Center on
Revision of Legislation
Passed by Both Houses
pu the Associated PreSS

BY the Associated Press.
A novel preliminary tangle today
caused a temporary deadlock be-
tween Senate and House In the
movement TO boost prices Of five
major crops through higher govern
ment loans
Senator Bankhead, Democrat of
Alabama, leader of the Senate drive
for loans at 85 per cent of parity,
said he was confident that the stale
mate would end early next week
because we've got the votes
Questions leading to the legisla-
tive snarl were raised by House
members appointed to work out a
compromise with Senators on House
approved legislation calling for
mandatory loans on cotton, wheat,
corn. tobacco and rice al a slightly
lower level IS per cent of parity.
Parity is the term used to de-
scribe price level for farm products
which would give producers the
equivalent in non-agricultural goods
and service which prevailed in 1909
1914.
Conferees' Power Involved.
Involved in the dispute are powers
of a Joint Senate House Conference
Committee to revamp legislation
passed by both Houses. Parlia-
mentary precedent extending back
over century Of congressional
disputes are being dug out in the
argument.
Originally the Senate passed legis-
lation revising the system of mar
keting restrictions under the present
farm act. The House took this bill,
struck out all except the title, and
inserted the mandatory loan pro-
VitiOn.
! In the meantime the Senate Ag-
/ riculture Committee unanimously
reported out a similar mandatory
loan bill at the higher rate of S5
per cent. When the revised House
bill reached the Senate. Senator
Bankhead won unanimous approval
for sending it 10 conference.
Right Questioned.
But when this Senate-House group
met. some House members ques-
toned the right OF the House 10
consider the higher loan level be-
cause the Senate itself had not
acted on this.
Il can't understand this attitude :"
Senator Bankhead said. Vice PreSi-
dent Garner cited many precedents
showing that when either house
took bill and struck out every
thing after the enacting clause. the
conference was wide open on every
thing in the bills
If House members hold TO the
view that they cannot consider a
higher loan figure. Senator Bank
head said he would take the loan
bill back to the Senate and have it
amended for the higher loan rate.

Germans Speculate
On Possibility Of
i. 5. Entry in War
Press Continues Attack
On lnterventionists on
Invasion Anniversary
B, the Associated Press.

BERLIN, May l0.-The possibility
that the United States might plunge
into the war became a subject OF
earnest and increasingly intense
speculation in Berlin tonight as
Germans expressed belief that war
agitators" in that country were
gaining ground.
German leaders devoted the deep
est attention to American develop
ments, and portion of the press
took a serious view of the matter
The pro and con remarks of Amer
ican speakers were studied.
One reaction was a revival of
the suggestion that the continent
of Europe must be welded together
as unit to oppose the Anglo
Saxon world, with indications that
France was being thought of as
part of this European unity idea
The press which headlined the
anniversary of the start of the blitz-
krieg through the Low Countries
and France. continued its denun-
citation of American interventionists.
Deutsche Diplomatisch Politische
Korrespondenz, foreign Office COM
mentary. declared interventionists
in the United States were seeking
quarrel by all means and saio
they. should cease telling others
fairy tales as if it were they who
were threatened from the outside "
Refers to Hulrs Address.
The commentary referred spe-
cifically to United States Secretary
of State Hull's address of welcome
to II Latin American officers visit
ing Washington.
(Mr. Hull told the officers
Thursday that all American re-
publics should cooperate in de-
fense against "a common danger
which has no geographical limits
in its ultimate objectives.D
Korrespondenz said although the
Secretary of State was exactly in
formed about repeated and funda-
mental recognition of the Monroe
Doctrine by Germany and her al
lies" he talked of a world en-
comprising movement of conquest. u
Mr.. Hulls implication that the
United States was threatened by
danger from without, the commen-
tary said, was more cheeky and
grotesque since he and other North
American war agitators have done
nothing for months but to run after
war from distance of thousands of
sea miles"
BOerSen Zeitung Comments.
Also commenting on Mr.. Hull's
remarks, the financial organ, Boer-
sen Zeitung, said South Americans
should decide for themselves whether
they can maintain peace "in q
common front with a government
which runs after war"
Adolf Hitler's newspaper, Voel-
kischer Beobachter, said in an edi-
torial the tri-partite pact members
sought to maintain peace in the
Atlantic and Pacific and added "no
one, not even Churchill, has burdened
himself with so heavy a guilt in
this war as the North American
President and his circles :"
Editorials and special articles in
the newspapers referring to the
anniversary of the opening Of the
Nazi drive on the western front said
Hitler was a great military genius
to whom the German people owe
thanks for "the most glorious victory
of their history"

TOXIC, May 10.-Headed home
avowedly to discuss means OF set
Ting the troublesome "China affair"
Japan's Ambassador to Marking was
quoted today as saying Generals
simo Chang Kai-shek was deter
mined not to talk peace except
through the United States as me-
diator.
The newspaper Nichi Nichi said in
a dispatch from Shanghai that the
Ambassador, Kumatore Honda, had
declared, however, there can be no
peace which will be concluded
through mediation of a third ma
ton"
Honda's return from Nanking via
Shanghai to talk with Premier
Prince Fumimaro Konoye and For
eign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka CO.
incided with increasingly insistent
| editorials in the japanese press that
the China incident be settled quickly
| to further the progress of Japans
Greater East Asia program.
Mediation Discussion Significant.
Although Honda indicated United
| States mediation in the China affair
would not be acceptable to Japan,
some observers deemed it significant
that he discussed Chungking reports
of such demiation at length.
Japanese officials virtually have
said their armed forces found China
so large it would take half-century
| to force a settlement unless one
could be reached through amicable
| handling.
tState Department and Jap
anese sources in Washington de-
| clared last night that nothing
was known here of any official
moves to have the United States
serve as a mediator between
Japan and China
Reich Mentioned as Mediator.
Honda was said to have men,
toned also possible efforts to bring
about mediation through some third
power other than the United States
Nichi Nichi quoted him as saying:
For instance, Germany is think
able as an influential candidate fol
such mediation. But then, is 1t pos
sible TO transfer Germany's pre-
dominant position in Europe to the
East as it is?"
The Ambassador, according to
Nichi Nichi, pictured the United
States as actually strengthening the
resistance of the Chunklng govern
ment.
Neutral quarters in Shanghai said
today Japan apparently was prepar-
ing to withdraw troops from large
areas of the interior of China fol
