LEAGUE SOLUTION OF THREATENED WAR IS EUROPE'S HOPE NOW! Japan Denies Exporting Arms to Ethiopia as Italian Feeling Runs High (By the Associated Press) Great Britain and France, two of the most powerful forces in the League of Nations, planned separately Thurs- day their campaigns of procedure to be undertaken at Geneva in an effort to stave off the threatened war be- tween Italy and Ethiopia. The respective cabinets studied the situation and both governments were reported as favoring a league solu- tion of the problem. Meanwhile, in Italy, public interest in what relationship Japan has with Ethiopia, if any, ran high, although a Japanese foreign office spokesman denied Japan was exporting arms to Ethiopia. ‘The Azione Coloniale, semi-official publication in Rome, recently pub- lished figures showing that Japan furnished between 70 and 75 per cent of the Ethiopian importations in the fiscal year 1932-1933, This was an in- crease from the percentage of 55 to 60 in the year 1931-1932. “Japan,” says the publication, “has thrown on the market at Addis Ababa enormous quantities of goods at a price notably inferior to the current price. She has caused a strong con- traction in the quantities of mer- chandise sought from European na- tions formerly the exclusive sellers on the Ethiopian market.” In London Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin was represented as favoring full league action, provided other powers agree, as a last resort to avert war between Italy and Ethiopia. The time limit for appointment of 8 fifth arbitrator to the deadlocked conciliation commission expires Thurs- day, apparently killing all hope of set- tling the crisis by direct negotiations. Two young sons of Premier Benito Mussolini became officers in their father’s east African air force Thurs- day. Vittorio Mussolini, 19, after a few weeks’ training at an arms air camp, was designated officially a second lieutenant in the air corps. His brother Bruno, 17, was made a ser- geant, both assigned to the bombard- ment corps destined for East African service.

Wisconsin is the subject of this, the fourth of 12 impartial articles which famed Correspondent Hunt is writing exclusively for the Bis- marck Tribune. By FRAZIER HUNT (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.) Glenn Frank and I rode back to- gether to Madison from the Lions club supper and meeting at Wal- worth, Wis., just north of the Illinois line. More than 400 men from all over the country had gathered there to hear this unusual president of their state university lecture on “Social Changes Ahead.” While Frank had talked I watched the faces of his country audience. I challenge New York City or Chi- cago or San Francisco or any other American city to bring together a more intelligent, shrewd, level-head- ed bunch of men than these Wiscon- sin farmers and small town business and professional men. If we had twenty million more like them our worries would be over. In the car my host lit a cigar and let his capable and agile mind wan- der. “Coming out of Chicago the other day I had a long talk with a brakeman,” Glenn Frank remarked. “Maybe I don’t know much about it, the old fellow said, but I figure we had just three things we could do with our unemployed—shoot ’em, feed ’em or put ‘em to work. The ones we fed first we'll have a hard time puttin’ to work now—but maybe we can do it.” A Crusader Speaks The next morning I spent talking Off-the-record politics with Gover- nor Phil LaFollette. Grey is creep- ing into his mat of hair, and this brilliant young crusader no longer is so certain of all the answers as he was when I had last talked with him @ couple of years before. “Roosevelt has built up a great army but many of his generals are disloyal,” Phil said. “He'd be better off with a smaller but more inspired fighting army.” I gathered that the LaFollettes would be too busy with their own knitting to help lead a real third party at this time. Two nights later I sat with four men in the lobby of a hotel in Sparta, Wis. In the group was an insurance man, @ lawyer, @ monu- ment dealer who owned a farm, and the hotel keeper. The insurance man said: “I’m a Republican, but I voted for Roose- velt—and I think I'll do it again.” The lawyer said: “I’m one of the few chronic Democrats in this town. I think Roosevelt has done the best job he could and I don’t see any way he can be defeated. I don’t believe @ strong third party can be put over.” The monument dealer and farm owner held: “The drouth gets 80 per cent of the credit for the rise in farm prices. Roosevelt broke his pledges and the Democratic plat- form. Still, I don’t see how he can be beaten.” The hotel keeper has this to say: “I've got to admit that I’m for Roosevelt. I’m an old LaFollette Progressive, but I don’t see any real hope for a national third party next year.” Meets Master Farmer Here in Wisconsin the agricultural college each year honors a few out- standing dirt farmers by designating them as Master Farmers. I talked with one of these some 30 miles north of Madison. His name was Chris Gruber. “I voted for Hoover—and the La- Follettes,” he said, “but I sort of think I'd vote for Roosevelt today. I think he’s done about everything he can. He's got the toughest job in the world... . I was on the Sauk County corn and hog committee and I hate to admit it, but I wouldn't be surprised if as many as 25 per cent of our farmers did a little cheating on their reports. Some of ‘em were just plain dishonest about it. We got almost a million dollars in this county alone.” I mentioned relief. “I can’t figure out for the life of me how we're ever going to stop that business,” he ans- wered. “There's fully one-third of the families in our little village on relief of one kind or another. The married men make more money working for the PWA than we can pay ‘em. I’ve had ‘em quit me to go on relief work. It’s going to be a tough job to ever get ‘em out of the habit of havin’ the government take care of ’em.” A New Relief Problem All over America I heard much of this relief talk. Men with jobs re- sented the 30-hour week of the PWA, and even more the fact that there was food for the families of men who were plain malingerers. Many critics felt that we had already created a vast pool of indolent men who would always find a way of living without work. They recognized that the gov- ernment was now endeavoring to make men work and that the states and federal authorities would try to shut off gift relief. But the problem of the mass voting strength of the reliefers would be hard to solve. Over near the Minnesota line, near the lovely village of West Salem, Prosperous Adolph Nuttlemann shook his head in grave doubt. “I’m a La- Follette Republican and I voted for Roosevelt, but I'm worried about this relief business,” he said. “Just try to take a bone away from a dog and see what he does.” Life-saving “Co-ops” That afternoon I crossed the great Mississippi into Minnesota. I had been visiting sturdy farmers who loved the soil and had gained eco- nomic independence both by hard work and by their successful dairy co-operatives. I would not soon for- get what this same Adolph Nuttle- mann had said to me: “Without our co-op creameries and our LaCrosse Milk Producers association we'd be getting from one-third to one-half less for our milk. Our co-operatives have saved our lives.” I carried with me, too, the definite impression that Wisconsin would vote again. for Roosevelt. 3 They have little | Glenn Frank and LaFollettes “interest in Long| THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JULY 25, 1935 Fear Grows Relief Rosters Will Sprout Indolent Class Tat ae | Elsie Janis Hurt o In Car Collision | Elsie Janis, darling of the World War doughboys and inter- nationally famous singer,. suffer- ed brain concussion, severe cuts and loss of blood, when the car in which she was riding with her husband, Gilbert Wilson, crashed into a parked truck near East View, N.

Flax, Corn, Potatoes Targets for Insects as Harvest Begins, Grass Dries Flax, corn and potatoes in localities where grasshoppers have not been controlled are likely to be damaged seriously by the insects this summer after early grain and hay have been harvested. Abundant green vegetation has oc- cupied attention of the insects so far, saving grain crops from any great amount of damage. When this grain is harvested, however, and grass and other green vegetation be- gins to dry up, grosshoppers will head for the flax, corn and potatoes. Lateness of the hatch of hoppers also has contributed to the welfare of early crops, according to F. D. Butch- er, entomologist of the agricultural college. Damage done to grain 50 far is mainly around the edge of fields, By the middle of July, Butcher said, young grasshoppers in many lo- calities had started their march into crops. Infestation is exceedingly heavy in some sections and failure to control the pests with poison boit provided by the federal government will leave flax, corn and potaties to bear the brunt of attack. Flax par- ticularly is endangered because the insects bite through the stems, cut- ting off the seed bolls. Organized poisoning programs are underway in 47 counties, with about half of these counties putting on in- tensive campaigns to remove the in- sects. So far, Butcher reports, excel- lent results have been obtained. Near- ly 100 per cent kills have been observ- d. Ample bait has been supplied by the government to control the grasshop- per infestation in North Dakota. En- tomologists feel that proper use of this bait will not only save 1935 crops from serious injury but will also pre- vent the development of adult hop- pers to lay eggs for continuing the infestation in 1936. Weed Control Plans Made in 9 Counties Weed control plans were planned in nine counties in July, the agricul- tural college reports. Establishment of particularly bad perennial weeds enemies have aroused eastern North Dakota farmers, Leafy spurge, one of the worst pests, is causing great- est_concern. Meetings were held in LaMoure, Barnes, Grand Forks, Walsh, Foster, Eddy, Cavalier, Traill and Richland counties. The Richland session, the bd of the series, was held Wednes- lay. Crop Forecast Shows Need for Wheat Plan Even if damage from rust. proves more severe than indicated, there ‘seems certain to be more than enough wheat produced in the United States this year for our own domestic use, according to George E. Farrell, di- rector of the grains division of the AAA, who points out that the July 1 federal crop report indicated a wheat crop of more than 100 million bushels greater than our normal domestic re- quirements. This indicates there is still an adjustment problem. On July 1, the North Dakota Agri- cultural college extension service states, the estimated supply of old wheat on hand in the United States was 160 million bushels, The AAA looks for about 266 million bushels to be available either for export or carry-over during the next year, this figure including the present 160 mil- lion bushel carry-over and an esti- mated 106 million bushel production this year above domestic needs. WINTER KILLS EARWORMS Damage to the North Dakota corn crop from earworms which caused so imuch injury in 1934 is not expected this year. Indications are that the Fests are unable to withstand North Dakota winters, J. A. Munro, agricul- tural college entomologist, reports. To find out whether the earworms could winter over in the state, a number of the worms were confined in special cages in the experimental Catia of the agricultural college last fall. vived, Munro said. Corn earworms prevalent in 1934 in North Dakota migrated from the warmer regions of the south. BEEHIVE BREAKS RECORD A gain of 23.1 pounds of honey was recorded for one hive of bees at the North Dakote Agricultural college | July 12, according to Munro. This single day's production per hive is the best gain ever recorded in North Dakota, For the preceding month the same hive had a gain of 105 pounds. Favorable weather and an abund- gnce of sweet clover bloom are re- sponsible for the record-breaking high honey production. Daily weights are obtained on one hive of bees at the NDAC by placing the colony on a scale. This same practice could be carried out by any and continued spread of older weed beekeeper.
