STAR, WASHINGTON, .D. C, THURSDAY, .APRIL. 25,. 1929. HOOVER’S FARM-AID PLAN IS HIT BY HUFF | President: of National Farmers’ Union Says Scheme Would Make Wards of Co-operatives. By the Associated Press. . SALINA, Kans., April 25.—Criticizing the administration farm velief plan, C. E. Huff of Salina, president ‘of the National Farmers' Union, in a statement. Tuesday . declared that if the legisla. [ tion is enacted it “would rob the far organizations of their militant power for the next four years.” “The.power to voice a protest will be stripped from them,” he sald. . Mr, Huff asserted that President Hoo- ver's stand against the export debenture proposal was final proof that the ad- ministration “was determined to deal with the farm, relief problem without reference to surplus production.” ‘The farm officlal contended co-oper- ative organizations would be forced to surrender many rights to the Federal Farm Board which it is proposed to set up, and that the co-operatives in effect would become “wards’ of the Govern- 'he fatal defects in this plan, in my opinion,” he continued, “are that it sets up no standards for the co- operatives, nor as to price level.” “BUDDY POPPY” GIVEN « HOOVER BY VETERAN Comdr. Carver of Boston Tells President of Purposes of An- nual Drive. ! President Hoover yesterday received the first 1929 “Buddy poppy” from Eu- gene P. Carver, jr, of Boston, Mass, commander-in-chief of the Veterans of Forelgn Wars. The presentation was made at the White House, when the gnpy was pinned on the lapel of the esident’s coat by little Bertie Boger, whom Comdr. Carver lifted in his arms for this part of the ceremony. ‘The President was reminded that this poppy was made by disabled veterans at Veterans' Hospital 81 in New York Buddy py campal +| the auspices of agvetenm of uwm-%ofmvm-uot Foreign Wars. President heartily Inmmdflz:“mnuumflyn it gave A Carver the following indorsement: “The annual under Foreign Wars is a fitting symbol of the sacrifice of those who died in the service of our country and should remind us of the obligations and sacrifice demanded of all good citizens in time of peace. “The fe~t that the manufacture of these popples gives employment to dis- abled ex-service men in the hospitals and elsewhere adds to the worthiness of the cause. I am glad to give my hearty indcrsement to this worthy cause.” Comdr. Carver also told My. Hoover that the funds will be used for the care of the veterans’ widows and erphans. | ing a court, case here, JUDGE SAYS ROMANS KNEW BOOKKEEPING DUNDALK, Ireland (#)—Irish farm- ers would do well to take lessons from the old Romans, who were the greatest traders and the best farmers the world has ever known, said Judge Devitt dur- 1 ‘The Roman, he said, would consider| | it a disgrace if he was charged with not keeping accounts. To say that to an| old Roman was to charge him with being a slipshod, knavish, idle fellow. “When a farmer comes into court and tries to set his memory against a busi- | ness man’s account books, he has a poor | chance of winning his case,” declared the judge. WATCH AND CLOCK REPAIRNG For-Delvered - National 7280. Next bo Keithiy | ‘was predicted by Dr. Leonid Strakhov- | sky, professor of history in the For- eign Service School of Georgetown Uni- versity, who fled Russia while under sentence of death by the Bolshevists, before a luncheon of the Rotary Club | at_the Willard Hotel yesterday. Dr. Strakhovsky sought to refute “myths” regarding Russia, which he declared existed in.the minds of the average American. The first of these was that any relationship existed be- tween the revolution against the Czar in March, 1917, and that which pre- cipitated Russia into Bolshevism in No- vember. The former revolution at- SQUI_BB’s Sodium Bicarbqnate tempted to establish an era of freedom in Russia, he declared, and failed due to the fact that it was inappropriately | undertaken in time of war. The sec- ond was the idea which exists in Amer- ica, that Russia is more economically prosperous under the Soviet regime than under the Czar, and finally that | - the present government is based upon principles of democracy. | In order to 'show that Russia today is under the most complete form of dictatorship, Dr. - Strakhovsky pro- ceeded to sketch to his audience the machinery of the Soviet government. ‘That the Proletariat party has not the support of the Russian people Dr. Stra- khovsky is convinced, and he believes that they have been able to maintain themselves in power only through the lethargy and disorganization of ‘he Russian masses. The actual number of confirmed Communists in Russia was estimated by Dr. Strakhovsky at less than a million. He emphatically declared that Russia would live to free herself from Bolshevism and that she would eventually be bound to the United States by closer and ever in- creasing ties. At the request of the members of the Rotary, Dr. Strakhovsky related some of his experiences during the revolution, which included a secptacu- | SPECIAL refining proc- 7 g esses have taken out | - mj}“\'flw’”"”' every impurity from ’“' = Squibb’s Bicarbonate of Soda.
