An invitation to Premier Mussolini was extended by Secretary Stimson on behalf of the President-elect and is similar to that given to Great Brit- ain last Friday. Requests by Lithuania and Czechos- lovakxia also were granted under sim- ilar terms. Invitations are expected to be given shortly to Finland, and Latvia and the only other debtors which stand in the preferred class with those already invited because of their payments on Dee. 15. No official announcement has been made as to the Roosevelt attitude to- ward the defaulting powers headed by France and including Belgium, Po- land and Esthonia.

ROOSEVELT PLANS South Dakota Editor Would Have States Cooperate in Making Law Effective Washington, Jan. 24.—(P)}—A new idea contemplating active cooperation of states with the federal government in administering the domestic allot- ment plan of farm relief was put for- the senate agricultural committee. | It was presented by W. R. Ronald, editor of the Evening Republican, Mitchell, S. D., as an answer to argue ments often raised against the bill | passed by the house. Ronald, who has played a promt- nent part in advancing the voluntary domestic allotment plan, expressed Under the Ronald proposal respon- sibility for obtaining prescribed acre- age reductions would be placed with the states. on Only if a state made the required 4 curtailment of production would it be | eligible to receive the allotment money for distribution among its pro- ducers. The senate agriculture committee will begin public hearings on the plan Wednesday and will take possibly a week. Many have predicted President Hoover would veto such a bill, thus making it a major issue at the special session in the spring. | FOREIGN PROGRAM President-Elect Discusses World Economics With New York Financier, ward Tuesday” “10 tohsideration “or . terruption and delay of work and un: necessary expense involved, but as in- dividuals we respectfully and vigor- ously request that all rumors be traced to their source so that people may konw by whom originated and circulated and their motive.” SINKLER IS APPOINTED ADVISER TO PROBERS E.

The committee met informally Tues- revealed the skeleton was found early in November by workmen who were remodeling a house on the ranch, Chilson said. Wrapped in a blanket and put in a box, the child’s had been placed in the ceiling of the home, he said. After its removal from the home, neighbors told Chilson, the body had been moved from place to place at the ranch and in December had been taken from the ranch. Chilson and ;Runion found it in the blacksmith shop. They believed the child to -have.been less than a year old atthe time of death. At the inquest, Chilson said, he will seek to determine the parentage of the child, cause of death, and reason for failure to report the death.

Discussions between Italy and the United States will follow those with Great Britain. There is no disposition here now to have formal discussions with two Powers going on simultaneously, as it is felt this might develop into a Sort of general conference. The Roosevelt administration has indicated it desires to adhere to the Hoover policy that all the debt dis- cussions shall be with individual pow- ers. From Warm Springs, Ga. where President-elect Roosevelt is sojourn. ing came word that Roosevelt is hering to his stand that debtors al ways should have access to creditors but is issuing no general invitations to debt conferences and that the ini- tiative, in each case, must come from the debtor nations.
