" CANNON PROTESTS ~ COUNT OF ALIENS Says Unnaturalized Aid Wets | in Congress, in Talk Before Sailing. Bishop James Cannon, jr., declared westerday that the exclusion of un- saturalized aliens from the count to be ased in the reapportionment of the eountry for congressional representation 1s the “most important legislative propo- sition before the Nation.” ‘The Southern Methodist leader issued these views in a statement on the pro- hibition situation he prepared before sailing last Sunday night for Madeira, whence he will go to Brazil. “These unnaturalized aliens,” he said, “are estimated to number 7,500,000 and give to wet metropolitan centers about 30 Congressmen and 30 electoral votes. Were they eliminated in the enumera- tion, the basis of apportionment would be correspondingly lowered and States like Virginia, which now seem certain to lose a Congressman, might retain the present number. “There should be a prompt, sharp drive to get this resolution (the Stalker Tesolution for submission of a consti- tutional amendment to achieve the alien exclusion) through Congress before Christmas and then press it through the State Legislatures during the Win- ter of 1931. The time is short, but by persistent systematic work it can be done.” The alien exclusion proposal arose last year when Representative Hoch, Republican, Kansas, secured its adop- tion as an amendment to the census and reapportionment. measure. This move met determined opposi- tion of Representatives from the urban centers, and Representative Tinkham, Republican, Massachusetts, succeeding in having adopted also an amendmentsy excluding from the reapportionment count all American citizens over 21 who were not permitted to vote, striking at Southern States in which the Negro vote is curtailed. Fearing these amendments would Jeopardize enactment of the census bill, congressional leaders obtained a reor- ganization of the section which resulted in exclusion of both proposals. PARCEL POST PARLEY FOR U. S. AND CUBA LIKELY Postmaster General Brown Ar- ranging Convention to Consider Conditions Under New Tariff. Plans calling for negotiations of a parcel post convention with Cuba went forward here today under the super- vision of Postmaster General Brown. The Postmaster General said the action was precipitated by the fact that the new tariff act removed limitations prohibiting importation of shipments of Cuban cigars in lots of less than 3,000. ‘This clause was a stumbling block for many years in the path of a successful parcel post convention with Cuba whereby packages would be exchanged in the same manner as first-class mail. ‘The undesirable clause was eliminated from the new bill at the insistence of the Postmaster General. He forwarded several briefs to Congress outlining his position. Brown .aid he believed a plan could be worked out where the exporter of cigars could pay the levies at the time the packages were malled, through the use of stamps, thus assuring speedy transmission to the United States.

Following a conference with Director Hines of Vi Edwin the National Ccmmittee of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, an- nounced today that World War veterans entitled to benefits under the new pen- sion bill must file application if they want the disability allowance. ‘The bureau, he said, has prepared a form for these applications which, when filled out, may be sent directly to the Veterans’ Bureau or forwarded through the veterans’ organization. Bettelheim said an impression was current that veterans who previously had applied for compensation and had been turned down might consider the earlier applications sufficient. This is not the case, he said, and compensation granted will date from the day of ap- plication. HYDE PUSHES PLAN FOR CUT IN WHEAT With Chairman of Farm Board, Secretary Talks to Nebraskans. By the Associated Press. HASTINGS, Nebr., July 8.—Nebraska grain growers, dealers and business mert today had direct from Secretary of Ag- riculture Arthur Hyde and Alexander Legge, chairman of the Federal Farm Board, their suggestions for a reduction of wheat acreage down to a point where production would approximately equal market demands. Speaking here yesterday, the Govern- ment's two chief agricultural spokesmen, who today carry their hard Winter | wheat acreage reduction campaign into Colorado, urged the grain growers to organize in order to better help them- selves solve their own problems. Surplus Is Problem, Declaring the present wheat surplus was responsible for the current low prices, both speakers held other coun- tries had enacted tariff laws to prevent “dumping” in them of this country’s wheat surplus at a price lower than the production cost. Almost 1,000 Nebraskans heard Sec- retary Hyde and Chairman Legge's suggestions for acreage reduction. With- out recommending any such cut imme- diately, the Farm Board chairman said & 25 per cent reduction would put pro- duction on a domestic basis and give the ‘":1?!' growers full benefit of the 42-cent ta Favors Land Purchase. Secretary Hyde said he “favored Gov- ernment purchase of more land for reforestation purposes.” He pointed out that it would not do any good if one farmer reduced his acreage and his neighbor didn’t, or if Nebraska farmers did and those in Kansas did not. He said it was proposed, however, to organ- ize farmers of various States into co- operative agencles, which would be affiliated with one national co-operative in order that farmers could regulate their own affairs. ‘Today's meeting at Starling, Colo., will be followed during the week by others at Hays and Dodge City, Kans.; Amarillo, Tex., and Enid, Okla.
