Matthaei asks that the legislature give to the Bureau of Technocracy “Our hearty endorsement of their ef- forts toward the development of any system that will provide a more equit- able distribution of our natural and created wealth tending toward a solu- tion of our economic ills.” “The people of every nation on earth are today faced with the immi- nent possibility of economic destruc- tion and the resulting collapse of civi- lization,” the resolution says. “All known authorities of every school of political thought agree that the impasse in which the world finds itself today 1s directly and indirectly A the result of an excess of production President-Elect Discusses World Economics With New York Financier more highly developed during' Warm Springs, Ga., Jan. 24.—(P)— t 50 years than in all the ages Determined to put a new internation- world previous to that time ai program into prompt action, Presi- and this development promises to be dent-clect Roosevelt Tuesday began a extended during the years to come to series of conferences on domestic andj & point where the worker in industry foreign economics with Bernard M. will be. needed. only, for supervision Baruch, financial authority of New and distribution and the resulting un- York, employment, known as technological, Roosevelt is ready to meet and talk ‘unemployment, will completely par- over separately with the foreign pow- alyze the buying power of the working ers their pleas for relief on war debts class. but he is going to exact in return for “There is today only one school of aid in this direction a measure of co- thought which has plainly operation on his plans to restore the fundamental weaknesses of our prosperity by tariff adjustments and present industrial system and pro- stabilization of currencies Posed an intelligent and workable; Meanwhile, after a long talk with system to take its place, such system the senate Republican and Demo- Proposing the complete exploitation cratic liberals over some of his cab- of the machine to the end that hu--inet ideas, there was a belief here that manity may enjoy all that & machine Roosevelt was again looking about for at the same the secretary of state whom he is go- theory of dis- ing to use as his right hand ‘man in energy Out~ the foreign negotiations.

Administering Allotment South Dakota Editor Would Have States Cooperate in Making Law Effective Washington, Jan. %—(7)—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- ward Tuesday~foF-tchsideration “ot 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 as passed by the house. Ronald, who has played a promi- nent part in advancing the voluntary domestic allotment plan, expressed his views in a letter to Senator Nor- beck (Rep., 8. 8.) Under the Ronald proposal respon- sibility for obtaining prescribed acre- age reductions would be placed with the states, Only if a state made the required 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.

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- lovaxia 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 Dec. 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. While there have been intimations discovery of the remains. Chilson and Runion went to the Fuhrman ranch Friday. Neighbors 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 body 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 at the 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. Last Wednesday Fuhrman and a neighbor, John Schmidt, were bound over to the next term of district court when they waived preliminary ex- amination on arson charges in con- nection with the burning of a build- ing on the Fuhrman ranch. Fuhr- man is charged with hiring Schmidt leased on $1,000 bond each. The next day Fuhrman was ar- rested on charges of stealing hogs from the Keogh ranch near Beulah. He was released on $500 bond and is to appear at a preliminary hearing here Tuesday. WOULD HALT WORK “ONN. D. HIGHWAYS M'Kenzie County Senator Would Limit Activity to Needed Maintenance Highway construction work would be suspended for 18 months under a». bill offered in the North Dakota sen- ate Monday by Sen.

This was indicated by Sir Ronald Lindsay's visit to the department Monday which probably was the first of several calls the British ambassa- dor will pay to Secretary Stimson and his assistants before the London gov- ernment formally accepts the Amer- ican invitation to come here in March. The state department is acting as the medium through which the ar- rangements are being made in cooper- ation with President-elect Roosevelt's advisers. While neither Sir Ronald nor de- Pertment officials would dicuss the Purpose of the ambassador's call, word from abroad made it clear that the British representative had been in- structed to make new inquiries about the plans for the conference. Great Britain is not expected by administration circles to move rapid- ly and London dispatches indicate that the cabinet will make a thorough study of the scope of the proposed discussions before selecting represent- atives, The invitation to discuss debts also suggested that representatives should be sent to discuss “ways and. means for improving the world situation.” EXPECT M’DONALD TO HEAD BRITISH GROUP London, Jan. 24.—(P)—President- elect Roosevelt's intention to reserve to himself the final authority for Anglo-American debt negotiations added weight Tuesday to reports that Premier MacDonald will head the Britich delegation to Washington.

Follow Definite Course While no word came Tuesday from |the state department regarding the |procedure that would be followed in | dealing with these countries, the joint statement of President Hoover and President-elect Roosevelt after their recent conference prescribed a course. This called for, dealing with net only’ the war debt problem but a con- ‘sideration of ways and means of im- proving the world economic situation. 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- jing came word that Roosevelt is ad- 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- tlative, in each case, must come from the debtor nations.
