Later, in Des Moines, Milo Reno, head of the “Farmers' Holiday” movement, said every effort would be made to make the demonstration “an orderly parade of farmers.” He added that “there is no intention to insult the dig- | 10 talk to them about conditions and the fourth quarter of the country, nity of the office of the President of the United States.” ‘Through part of yesterday Mr. Hoover was occupied with addresses to be delivered during the next two weeks. ‘Tomorrow he will cpeak at the corner stone laying of the new Federal Post Officc Building here.

A prosperity which will not come back to this country merely through the easy theory of some kind of economic re-| covery brought about of itself by the passage of years. As I look over this great country of yours I see a desert transformed into the greéatest agricultural country in the world—a land of unsurpassed beauty— of unsurpassed possibilities. It was water that wrought the change, and I can see the difference. Since the first time that I came here 20 years ago, see what water has done. It was the sov- ereign right of government that insured the highest use of vour water, and you understand that. And the necessity for it, as your population grows, continues and grows itself, for without additional supply vour progress must ceasc. Sec- onGly only to the demand for water itself in the development of this great section is the adequate supply of cheap hydroelectric power. And that power | is ascured to you forever under the pro- tection of government, just so long as you own the Government. The whole Nation has watched the magnificent progress that your munici- pality and many other municipalities of this section have made in the de- velopment of the us> of water, and I, am glad that the Federal Government, through Congress, has already taken steps to assure to your municipalities and to this section not oniy an ample | supply, but also hydroelectric power, | | were selling watered stock to the people, | of all parties. | decency country hope that that will b> developed by the Government to act as a yardstick on the charges and the service by pri- whole section. And then down in the Southwest part of the country nature has given us Muscle Shoals to act in exactly the same capacity for that part. And in the Southwest we have Boulder Dam. In the Northwest, the fourth corner, nature has given us the Columbia River. And #0 you sce that our land is blessed with four great sources of power, all of them controlled by the people of the United States. I rejoice with you in this gift of God. I intend to see that this great Government work is expe- dited to the fullest extent; that the guarantees and the protections that are now thrown around you are never dis- turbed through legislation sought by selfish interests. Repeats Portland Statement. 1 spoke the other day in Portland, and I said this, and I want to repeat it to you, as an important part of the na- tional policy: “The natural hydro- electric power resources belonging to the people of the United States or the several States shall remain forever in their posscision.” To the people of this country I have but one answer on that subject: Judge me by the selfish pur- poses of the Insulls and others who have talked of radicalism while they and using our very schools to_ deceive the coming generation. My policy, my friends, is as radical as Americen lib- erty. as radical as the Constituticn of the United States.

MOSCOW, September 24 —The shert- | | age in meat resulted today in a govern- | ment edict under which supplies will be | collected from the whole peasantry under a system operated in the same manner as taxation For the next 15 months every peasant | family must deliver to the government | at fixed prices a certain percentage of | the meat it produces. | The decree, signed by Joseph Stalin, | head of the Communist party, and V. M. | Molotov, president of the Council of Peoples Commissas subjects those who fail to complete ir contracts to a monetary fine amounting to the market price of the undelivered meat. The order was designed to prevent | peasants from taking advantage of a recent decrec permitting them to sell their surplus production in private mar- kets. Its aim is to make it impossible for them to dispbse of more than they should at the expense of their govern=- ment contracts. The government also cancelled the July regulation which released all | peasants within 50 kilometers of Mos- cow from the obligation of delivering their products to the government and ermitted them to sell in private mar- kets. The reason for abrogating this measure was the enormous increase in “speculation.” or the activities of il- legal middlemen in buying up peasant products and reselling them to the BERLIN HOLDS FUGITIVE Police Charge Portuguess Bank Note Fraud to Doering.

He has delved deep into the major problems of our country, and I am con- fident he has impressed upon the peo- gle that a change in administration has e a national necessity. “Though in the past week I have had neither the inclination nor the time to participate in campaign work, I have had the opportunity to analyze the ad- dresses delivered by Gov.
