Legge Say* Export Deben¬
ture Would Bring on a
Foreign Embargo.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
PRESIDENT HOOVER'S opposition
* to the export debenture plan as
a means 101 solving,the wheat problem,
now incorporated in the pending tariff
bill, lias received the support of
Chairman Alexander Legge of the fed¬
eral farm board. In a radio address
broadcast by the National Farmers’
union, Mr. Legge predicted the adop¬
tion of this plan would have dire re¬
sults.
“Some persons tiiink a way should
be found so that the world market
price would apply only to the surplus
production and have the tariff effec¬
tive on tlie wheat sold at home,” Mr.
Legge declared. “To my mind this is
Impractical.”
“At the present time you see tin* sit¬
uation of France paying a bounty of
20 cents a bufeUel on the export of cer¬
tain grades of wheat, of which they
have an excess supply, and Great Brit¬
ain taking measures to retaliate. A
few weeks ago, in parliament, Lloyd
George made the statement that if
the United States tried to siiip wheat
to England at a price lower than
domestic price levels he would not be
satisfied with a duty, but that the
remedy should be an embargo prohib¬
iting the importation of any wheat
from this country.
“All of tlie consuming countries of
the world are watching us closely. I
am satisfied that they would take
prompt measures to retaliate in tlie
event exporting was done on a basis
which they believe would be unfair
to their growers, just as we do in
this country under such circum¬
stances.”
Defending tlie board's setup of cen¬
tral marketing associations, Mr. Legge
stressed the point that these “are not
government agencies, ns some critics
who cry ‘Socialism’ would have the
country believe, but, instead, are the
Instrumentalities of the producers,
who grow crops, to market these crops
to their best advantage.”
William G. Kellogg lias resigned as
general manager of the Farmers’ Na¬
tional Grain corporation and vice
president of the Grain Stabilisation
corporation, both of which are spon¬
sored by the federal farm board.
Mr. Legge says be believes the farm
board is meeting with success in its
wheat acreage reduction program. In¬
formation received by the board is that
In the West and Northwest tlie farm
leaders and farmers themselves are in¬
dorsing the plan.
T> lv IMPLYING to an inquiry from Sen
a tor McNary, the chairman of the
farm hoard said that body does not
favor tlie abolition of grain and cotton
exchanges by act of congress, as pro¬
posed by Senator Caraway, although
.it does favor better supervision of
them.
As for cotton, it appears that the
farmers’ co-operatives have been turn¬
ing the tables on the traders and
put them into a “squeeze play’’ tlmt has
cost the shorts millions of dollars.
The co-operatives, it was estimated,
held in May and July contracts or in
spot cotton unsold in the South more
than a million bales, and it was con¬
ceded that the big operators who will
have to put up actual cotton will have
to pay fancy prices for these bales.
Q PEAKING to some six thousand
C5 Daughters of the American Revolu¬
tion gathered in Washington for their
thirty-ninth continental congress. Pres¬
ident Hoover earnestly argued in be¬
half of American entry into tlie World
court and said lie had no doubt that
the United States would soon find a
way for such action. He declared
American adherence would not consti¬
tute an “entangling alliance” and that
it had been recommended “by every
one of our Presidents and every one
of our secretaries of state living since
Us Inception.”
The Daughters, who as a body have
evidenced their opposition to Ameri¬
can participation in the World court,
duly applauded Mr. Hoover. He was
CLEVEEW COURIER.
more warmly cheered when he advo¬
cated national defense forces strong
enough to prevent invasion' of Ameri¬
can shores, when he pledged that dur¬
ing his administration tlie United
States would refrain from entangle¬
ments in European diplomacy, anil
when he praised the results of the
London naval conference.
Two days later the Daughters
adopted reports demanding tlie main¬
tenance of sufficient military and naval
equipment to meet any emergency
that may face the United States in the
future, and opposing the scrapping of
American ships until the major pow¬
ers sign a limitation treaty. They
evinced dislike for the three-power
agreement concluded in London by
the United States," Great Britain and
Japan.
T I 7T1ILE many of the delegates to
VV the London conference were scat¬
tering for the Easter holidays, the
drafting committee was hustling to
complete tlie proposed treaty in time,
for the five nations to approve and
sign it at a plenary session set for
April 22. Tlie chief difficulty that
arose in connection with tlie three
power agreement was the wording of
an “escape" clause allowing any one
of tlie three powers which have agreed
on a limitation in all categories of
ships to exceed the fixed limits In case
any outside power builds so as to be¬
come dangerous. This was satisfac¬
torily adjusted. • .
To meet demands of tlie Japanese,
Secretary of State Stiinson and Sen¬
ator Reed entered Into a “gentlemen’s
agreement” with Iteijlro Wakatsuki,
head of the Japanese delegation, and
Admiral Takarabe that the United
States would not build during tlie
life of tliis treaty tlie additional ton,
nage of light cruisers to which St is
entitled if it should decide not a-build
the last three of tlie IS heavy cruisers
allowed by the pact. Consequently,
until the next arms conference, Japan
is allowed 74 per cent of America’s
aggregate tonnage in cruisers, destroy¬
ers and submarines.
President Hoover has said that the
United States will save a billion dol¬
lars ns a result of tlie three-power
pact. Others estimate the saving in
naval construction at half that amount.
Great Britain will save $300,000,00
and Japan $200,000,000. Information
in Washington is that tlie pacifist
groups will work for ratification of
tlie treaty and then will campaign
against the appropriation of funds to
keep it in operation. The pact prob¬
ably will not be Submitted to the sen¬
ate until next December during the
short session.
XT VV THEN it comes to voting on a ques
tion that may affect their chances
of re-election many of our senators are
not very brave. Which explains tlie
long delay in acting on the appoint¬
ment of Judge John J. Parker of
North Carolina as an associate justice
of the Supreme court. The opposition
to Parker was found mainly in or¬
ganized labor and among the negroes,
because of two decisions handed down
by him some time ago. The senators
were much concerned and one of them
even asked President Hoover to with¬
draw the nomination. Tlie President
flatly refused to do this, and finally
Senator Overman announced lie would
try to get the judiciary committee to
take action on April 21. it was said
most of the Southern senators would
vote for confirmation of the appoint¬
ment, knowing that if Judge Parker
were rejected the vacancy would be
filled by some one from another sec¬
tion of tlie country.
The President has appointed Roland
W. Boyden to succeed Charles Evans
Hughes as American member of the
permanent court of arbitration at Tile
Hague.
T> EPRESEXTATIVE TINKHAM of
aV. Massachusetts completed his
presentation of evidence and argu¬
ments against the Anti-Saloon league
and ecclesiastical lobbies before the
senate committee on lobbying. Tink
ham devoted most of liis attention
last week to Bishop James Cannon,
Jr., of the Methodist Church, South.
He was followed by Henry H. Curran,
president of tlie Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment, who al¬
ready had refused to surrender that
organization's files “except under com¬
pulsion of subpoena.”
Sharply quizzed by Senators Caraway,
He Falls Three
Stories; Lives
San Francisco.—A near panic
y?as created at Sutter and Kear¬
ney streets when a man came
plunging to the sidewalks from
the third-story window of the
Sutter hotel.
He registered at the hotel un¬
der the name of George A. Gam¬
ble, Los Angeles. He was a
stock salesman, about thirty
years of age.
Gamble was rushed to the
Harbor Emergency hospital,
where it was said he suffered
a broken teg, chest injuries and
severe internal injuries.
PAINTED MUSTACHE
PROVES A SNARE
Make-Up Results in Downfall
of Young Bandit.
New York.—"He was a dark young
fellow, and he had a black mustache—
1 mean a black mustache painted on
his face.”
Thus William Pope, milk wagon
driver for the Sheffield Farm Milk
company, described the man who re¬
cently held hitn up. and, at the point
of a gun. took away $195.
Detectives Martin Cannon and
Frank Ryon calculated, however, that
he would come back for more money
on the milk company’s next collection
day. So the two got into n police auto
and scoured the neighborhood.
Along Union street, they saw a milk
wagon driver running—and just ahead
of him was a young man also on the
run. Yes. he was a dark young man
and had a black mustache.
Cannon jumped out of the car and
joined in the chase. At Troy avenue
and Eastern parkway he caught up
with the dark young man and he was
able to see that Ids mustache was a
grease paint mustache. He arrested
him.
The prisoner said he was Leo Levy,
eighteen years old. in his pocket tie
had a box of grease paint, a lead pipe,
and a cigarette case shaped to look
like an automatic. He also had a
money bag of the Federal Reserve
bank of New York. The pursuing
milkman was Samuel Fleischman of
1628 Lincoln place, in the hallway of
1602 Union street, said Fleischman.
Levy pointed the fake weapon at him
and helped himself to $84.80. Pope
later identified Levy as tlie protagonist
of tiis holdup.
Levy was brought to Flatbush court
for arraignment on charges of assault
and robbery.
Mongrel Bites Mistress;
Saves Family From Fire
Elkhorn, Wis.—Originally his name
was Jack. He’s just a mongrel pup
and not much to look at. hut just the
same fie fias a new blanket and new
name.
He belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Bolton of Elkhorn and is tlie constant
companion of tlie Boltons’ three chil¬
dren. When he discovered, one morn¬
ing. that the house was on fire, he ran
to the children's bedroom and pulled
frantically at the bedclothes. Al¬
though he dragged alt the covers off
the beds, he could not awaken his
playmates.
He evidently balked at the idea of
biting one of Hie children, so lie ran
into the adjoining room and bit Mrs. j
Bolton on the hand. And he took no ;
chances. Be bit hard. The family
got out of the house just in time to
escape suffocation.
When firemen arrived Jack was
coughing and sputtering about in the
snow with the rest of the family, aod
when Mrs. Bolton recovered sufficient¬
ly to talk a while later the first thing
she said was that Jack was to get a
new name and a new blanket.
Boys Play With Stolen
Dynamite; Endanger Town
Mount Carmel.—Unable to wait un¬
til July 4 to celebrate, several youths
stole a large quantity of dynamite from
the Reliance coal corporation here.
The lives of tlie boys and all near
them were endangered, as they carried
the dynamite about with them or took
it home, until they exploded it close to
town. Many buildings were shaken by
the concussion.
Justice J. J- Dropesky sent Edward
and Paul Ziarkowskl and Edward
Kapunskshi to prison for 30 days and
held Frank Krnjowski and Victor
Moleski for Juvenile court on charges
of theft.

DLANS were announced last week
* whereby the Radio Corporation of
America would acquire the radio man¬
ufacturing activities and facilities of
the General Electric and Westinghouse
Electric companies, and official Wash¬
ington sat up and took notice. Sen¬
ator Dill of Washington, who has long
been interested in radio legislation,
called tlie attention of tlie senate to
tlie proposed combination, terming it
“a new trust monopoly.” At tlie same
time the Department of Justice an¬
nounced that it was "fully advised
regarding- tlie proposed affiliation,”
was “Investigating it fully" and was
“considerably concerned about it.”
Meanwhile, David Sarnoff. the presi¬
dent of the Radio corporation, issued
a statement in New York giving the
details of the proposed consolidation,
lie said the authorized common Radio
stock would be' increased from 7,500,
000 shares to 15,000,000 shares, with
0,580,375.1 issued to General Electric
and Westinghouse in return for royal¬
ties, manufacturing rights and tan¬
gible assets.
An increase in the B preferred
Radio stock from 813,365 to 1,500,000
shares also is planned, he said, with a
part of the increased stock being given
over to Westinghouse and General
Electric.

A struggle between an owl and the

lias been reported at Linkoeping, in
southern Sweden. The bird, probably
attracted by tlie headlights of tlie lo¬
comotive, burst against one cab win¬
dow and broke the glass. Well in¬
side, it sank its claws into the shoul¬
ders of the inotorman and attacked
him with its hill. The engineer could
not leave his grip on the switch; and
a fierce battle ensued while the train
