BRITAIN WARNED 10 GO SLOW BY ITALY AS TENSION GROWS France Gives Laval Free Hand in League of Nations Peace Meeting KELLOGG PACT SOLE HOPE British Fleet Steams From Mal- ta Apparently to Guard Suez Canal . (By the Associated Press) Warning to Great Britain to “go slow” at the League of Nations coun- cil session for consideration of the Italo-Ethiopian conflict next Wednes- day was seen by Italian political circles in the communique of the Italian cab-. inet setting forth its case against After an extraordinary meeting here near the mimic battlefield, 11 Duce’s cabinet stood before the world with: () an admonition to Great Britain that sanctions mean serious trouble; (2) a determination to attack Ethiopia at the council session, and, (3) fun- damental economic decrees to finance &@ war with the African empire. The cabinet gave assurance that British imperial rights would not be touched by the Italian program. French officials despaired of pre- venting conflict between Italy and Ethiopia and hoped merely to lessen the violence and confine it to Africa. France's Safety First The cabinet authorized Premier Pierre Laval to proceed with a free hand at the League of Nations coun- cil meeting at Geneva next Wednes- day and to place France's safety above the likelihood of war, Laval started the final week of his peace search with success “difficult but possible.” Success, French offi- cials agree, means only peace in Europe. The Kellogg peace pact, signed in Paris amid many enthusiastic declar- ations that it outlawed war, Thursday stood. as the final bulwark against Ttalo-Bthiopian war in the view of the British goyernment. Rély on Moral Force It was learned that Great Britain, should all other efforts fail and Mus- solini invade Ethiopia, hopes the United States and France will jointly summon for consultation all the sig- natories of this instrument to bring the full moral force of the world down upon Mussolini's head as an interna- tional outlaw and destroyer of world peace. . The mounting tension, particularly im the Mediterranean, was demon- strated Thursday in Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin's sudden shift of plans in cutting short by a fortnight his already interrupted holiday in France to return next Wednesday.

Millers Claim Farmers Getting Premiums Now Compare Buffalo and Mill City Prices to Prove Their Contention Editor's Note: In an effort to ascertain the facts regarding the value ®f North Dakota’s light-weight wheat, as well as to defend its contention that North Dakota farmers are entitled to a better price for their grain, this newspaper has entered into correspondence with the Minneapolis Chamber of Com- merce and northwestern millers on the subject. The following news story is a resume of facts and arguments presented by them. It is printed by The Tribune in line with its established policy of .giving all sides of any controversial question that the people may he informed. Contention by North Dakota farm- ers that high-protein, hard spring menufacture of bread flour and should command a premium on the market finds its support among Minneapolis thillers. But their answer is that we already are getting it, In support of this view, a Minne- apolis miller calls attention to the market prices of Aug. 23 at. Buffalo, N. Y., now one of the nation’s great milling centers. Ohio soft réd was quoted at 88%, Mlinois soft red at 84%, Illinois hard winter at $1.03%, Nebraska hard winter at $1.13%, Kansas hard winter at $1.14% and ns 1 dark northwestern spring at 1.32. Explanation is made that the prem- jum of 17% cents # bushel over the nearest competing grade on the Butf- falo market is due to the superior quality of northwest hard wheat for bread-making purposes. . It is admitted that soft wheat from the Pacific coast, south central and eastern areas will not make satisfac- tory bread flour such as is demanded by the bakery trade and such house- wives as bake their own brea’. It does make excellent flour for biscuits, pie crust and cake. Hard Wheat in Demand The milling trade asserts, however, that Pacific coast mills are utilizing hard spring wheat from Montana for mixing with their soft wheat in the manufacture of bread flour which is satisfactory to the trade and that much of the Montana wheat is both high in protein and heavy in weight, much of it weighing 60 pounds to the bushel.. They assert that they now are bidding for this wheat in competition with Pacific cuast mills. Mills in the central part oi the country, however, are turning out flour from home-grown wheat which ° is competing with northwestern flour for bread-making purposes, it Is as- serted, this fact accounting for the prices quoted on Nebraska and Kan- sas hard winter wheat at Buffalo, (Continued on Page Seven) HURT AS TRUCK TIPS Mott, N.

The 33-year-old king was only slightly injured. The cou- ple’s chauffeur, who was rid- ing in the rear seat while his master drove, suffered broken legs and_ possible internal in- juries. Physicians said he might die. Attendants who followed in another car said they saw their monarch turn his head for an instant, as he drove at a rate of between 50 and 55 miles an hour along the sunny road be- side the lake called “Vier Waldstatter See.” The touring car swung to the side of the road, hit an eight- inch curb, and rammed into a tree, then rojled into the shal- low lake just eight feet from the road.

The tragedy struck at About 9:15 a. m. Later, when the king was able to talk, he told members of his entourage that he had taken his-eyes off the road to glance at a map the queen was holding. He said she was sitting in the front seat beside him with the chauffeur in the rear. “I leaned over to look at t he map,” the members of the party said the king told them. “It lasted only a second, and when I looked again at the road, the car was almost on top of a tree.” The king said both he and the queen were thrown out of wheat is of special worth in the/the car at the first shock and that the queen’s head struck a tree, fracturing her skull. The royal attendants said the king’s automobile rebounded, struck a second tree, then hurtled into the lake with the chauf- feur still inside. ROOSEVELT SIGNS MORATORIUM BILL Allows Debt-Burdened Farmers to Obtain Three-Year ‘Breathing Spell’ Washington, Aug. 29.—(?)—Presi- dent Roosevelt Thursday signed the Frazier-Lemke three-year farm mort- gage moratorium bill, designed to re- place the law declared unconstitu- tional by the supreme court last spring. ‘The measure permits debt-burdened farmers to go into federal court and obtain moratoriums of as much as three years on their mortgages. Dur- ing that time their property, in ef- fect, would be under court control. Farmers are allowed to remain in possession of their land during the moratorium but must pay a “fair” rental, either every six months or at the end of each year, as the court may decide. At the end of the moratorium, property which has been protected by {t must be re-appraised by the courts or on court order. The farmers than may clear ther land by payment of the appraised value. But if they fail to do 80, se- cured creditors can obtain court or- ders directing that the secured prop- erty be sold at public auction.
