Labor Problem Solution Seen. In announcing his bill, Wheeler sai 1t ‘would rapidly solve the unemployed labor problem and benefit both capital and labor. “What my bill proposes to do is to put more dollars in circulation,” he said, “make it possible for us to regain our lost trade in the Orient by increasing their purchasing power and make it possible for the debtor classes to pay the debts with dollars of the same value | as when they borrowed the money—in ot he farmer will not | have to give more bushels of wheat or more bales of cotton than he would have had to do at the time he contract- | ed his debts and placed & mortgage on | his farm.” | Wheeler contended that within a year | after the enactment of his bill the price | of wheat, cotton and all agricultural | products would be more than trebled in monetary value, that agricultural land | values would be more than quadrupled | and the purchasing power of more than 80 per cent of the world’s population would be quadrupled LEAVE MEXICO CITY | T0 ATTEND CHURCH Catholics Worship Outside Federnl\ Area, Where New Religious Decree Limits Number of Priests. By the Associated Press MEXICO OCITY, January 4.—All roads led out of Mexico City yesterday | as Catholics attended church_ services outside the federal district, where the new law limiting the number of clergy allowed to officiate was not effective.

Churches in the federal district, open but priestless, also were crowded by Catholics who came to worship. | Laymen read the mass in some | churches, while in others the worshipers prayed in silence. ‘ The two Anglo-American Protestant Churches were closed because the min- isters had not yet been able to regis- ter, as required by the law, but services | were held in the few Mexican Protes- tant churches, whose priests received permits to officiate yes- terday.

MOSCOW, January 4—Rumors of an impending reorganization of the Su- preme Economic Council, controlling body of Soviet industry, into three separate branches to push forward the The council probably would be split up into at least three commissariats in the negr future, it was understood. The reorganization would be in line with the recently inaugurated policy of decentralizing those branches of the Soviet economy which, by rapid growth in the carrying out of the five-year plan, have become unwieldy. (This is the fourth year of the five-year plan and Soviet Russia has been urged by its leaders to complete the plan this year.) Establishment of commissariats in charge of heavy and light industry, with probably another for the distribu- tion of their products, was understood to be included in the reorganization plan. This would create, two, possibly three, new responsible posts. The Supreme Economic Council is just what its name implies. It is in charge of the entire public economy of | the Soviet Union, embracing all phases | of industrial production and distribu- | tion. It also has charge of the em- | ployment of foreign engineers and technicians. The Supreme Economic Council is headed by Gregory K. Ordjonikidze, with three vice chairman under him. Various departments in the council have had charge of the industrial ac- tivities of the Soviet Union—state, pri- vate, co-operative and all the rest.
