SOVIET SEEKING STATE WORKERS Offers Special Privileges to Peasants and Farmers to Enter Industry. By the Assoclated Press. MOSCOW, July 1.—The government moved today to attract more workers to industry by offering special privileges | and inducements to individual peasants | B7 the Associated Press. and collective farmers to enter the serv- foe of the state. A joint decree, issued by the Central Executive Committee and the Council of People’s Commissars, provides cer- tain concessions for those who will con- tract to leave the land and work in the lumber, fishing, transport and construc- tion industries and on state farms. Confronted by the growing shortage of labor in industry on one hand, and, on the other, by the increasing mechan- {zation of farms, which reduces the amount of manpower needed to operate them, the government is resorting to this means as a step to further the “518” phase of the five-year plan. That E}u&e calls for the eompletlon of 518 dustrial plants in 1931. The government offer frees such workers from various fees now assessed, including the agricultural tax. The vernment is willing to pay railroad fare to and from the places of new oc- cupation, to supply proper housing, to give familles that leave the farm the same privileges now enjoyed by the fam- ilies of industrial workers and to en- title the farmer to return to the land on the same basis on which he left aft- er his contract has been fulfilled. The present agrarian system of Russia is divided into three parts—individual farmers, the number of whom is dwin- dling rapidly; collective farmers, who produce on a co-operative basis, and state farmers, who work on government land on a piece-work basis. i RIFF MINE.RS STRIKE MADRID, July 1 (#).—A fragmentary report from Melba, an important town in Spanish Morocco, yesterday said that 5,000 Spanish and Moorish workers in Riff mines had concentrated there in & strike for higher wages. So far the strikers have remained in the town, as concentration in the coun. try was prevented by military foroe: ‘The situation was considered grave, and it was recalled that the Riff wars of 1909 and 1919 started under similar circumstances. | Next Year Turns Thought SUCCESSOR TO HINDENBURG IS BIG GERMAN PROBLEM Retirement of Beloved Leaderi to Candidates. 84 - Year - Old President | Wishes to Spend Declining Years on Country Estate. BERLIN, July 1—Who will | President of Germany when the ocu)- generian Field Marshal Paul von Hin- denburg’s office expires May 12, 19327 ‘Where is the man who in force of character, integrity and abllity can match the présent chief of l'-lbe‘ and can command the universal respect and confidence which he enjoys? The question is beginning to agitate the public mind. “Our Hindenburg,” as Germans call him affectionately, has come to be regarded as something like | a permanent institution. But he will be 84 years old next October, and it is reasonable to suppose that retire- | ment, from which he came at Kaiser Wilhelm’s bidding 17 years ago, is now due him. ‘Wishes to Retire. ‘The President’s personal feelings are flirly well known. Often enough has he intimated that he was looking for- ward to the time when he would be free to spend the last few years of his life in the rural quiet of his estate of Neu- deck in East Prussia. But such is his devotion to duty that, should a national appeal be made to him to remain in office for the Father- land's sake, there is little doubt that he would respond to the call and take up the burden again, unless, of course, his health should be so greatly impaired | = as to make continuance in office im- possible. Of that there is no present sign. The President attributes his re- markable health and vigor to hard work and plain living; especially to having eaten rye bread ever since his youth. There are two possibilities. There is a considerable movement afoot to ask Von Hindenburg to accept the presi- dency for life. Another section of pub- lic opinion, equally averse to a change in these disturbed times, favors exten- sion of the presidential term by one or two years. Has No Enemles. personal enemies the President has none. That is not to say that he has no political adversaries. Radicals of the Right and Left have often at- tacked Von Hindenburg. “He is get-| of “He is at heart a Mon- surrounds himself with bad advisers’—such are the charges that have transparent political motives behind them. Ernst Thaelmann, Communist candi- date for the presidency in 1925, would no doubt be in the running again, and probably there would be a German Fascist candidate in the field. Adolf Hitler himself is mentioned by many, but as he is not a German citizen, it is doubtful whether his election, if successful, could stand legally.
