Give Credit to Hard-Pressed European Countries Taking Surplus _° TRACES WHEAT PROBLEM Tells Governors of Other States It Is Problem for En-. tire U. S. to Consider West Baden Springs, Ind., Oct. 18. —Creation of an emergency govern- mental agency to dispose of our wheat surplus abroad and granting of power to this agency to sell heat to Eurpean nations indebted to the United States, reducing their debt in an amount equal to that invested in our wheat in the next three to five years,.was urged by Governor R.A. Nestos of North Dakota, speak- ang before the national Governors’ conference here tday, as one means of bettering the condition of the wheat farmer. “During the process of reducing the Ameftican surplus, and while there still ‘is such a surplus to sell abroad, the agency should be em- powered to sell our wheat to some of the ‘European nations, who ate now indebted to us almost beyond their ability to repay, for whatever price may be agreed upon and that agency be authorized to grant such nations a reduction in their indebt- edness to us equivalent to the amount invested by them in our wheat during the next three to five years,” the North Dakota executive told the governors of other states of the union, “I believe that this can be done with such safeguards and under such conditions as to insure the ready disposition of our surplus and at the same time help our European neighbors restore the morale and the working power of their people, re- build their industrial life, and leave them in position where there will be a chance that in time they may’ be able to pay the balance of their indebtedness tous,” he continued. Whole Country’s Problem, The Governor told the other execu-, tives that while the people of North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana feel the burden of the plight of the wheat grower, “yet ‘since it is con- ceded that agriculture is our basic industry and farming our largest business, the prosperity of the far- ber becomes go essential to the main- tenance of the general prosperity of our country that it.is with the ut- most confidence of a favorable hear- ‘ing and a serious and helpful con- sid&ration of this grave problem that I gppeal to you as Governors of the various commonwealths to aid in restoring and maintaining the prosperity of the farmers.” The subject of the North Dakota executive's address of “Wheat In the Nation’s Business.” Governors from most of the states of the union weye in the West Baden Springs hotel conference room today, and at the conclusion of the conference to- morrow they will go to Washington + to meet President Coolidge. Yn opening his address Governor Nestos declared that “those who transact the nation’s business are too prone to forget the importance of agricultural prosperity in the pro- cess of establishing a lasting na- tional prosperity.” He traced the course of recent agricultural history and the difficul- ties of the wheat farmer, ang-deélar- ed that if the plight of the wheat farmer is continued it will disas- trously affect the nation’s busine: The farmer suffers; he said, be the price of products he sells is far below the level of prices he pays for products. Not only, he said, does the farmer find the purchasing pow- er of his dollar low, but he isnot re- ceiving anything near the Cost of producing his wheat, quoting the fig- ures of Rex Willard, farm economist of the*North Dakota Agricultural college, in support, Freight Rates Too High. He continued “This unfortunate condition: is ag- Bravated by the high freight rates on wheat. Northwestern Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota,- and sy Montana raise a hard spring wheat ‘rich in gluten and essential to’ cessful flour making. But the chief competitors in the production of this high grade wheat. are right across ! the line from sestates,in Canada ere the freight rates on wheat to the great,\mil!

It will create much leisure, and it all depends on what people will do with their idle hours.” The radio, he believed, has been the greatest modern factor in caus- ing young people to think. It “has widened the range of knowledge, he said, and will continue to do so. Musical and other radio entertain- ment features, in his opinion, sooner or later, will be eliminated from pro- grams, which will be confined more to speeches and market quotations. He characterized the entertainment programs as fads which would not live, largely because of the difficul- ties of perfect transmission.
