T A2 [T * ARMS TALKS WAIT GERMANY'S REPLY Discussions Go On Informally i Until Reich Can Act on Future Policy. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, December 7.—Representa- tives of ‘the five great powers engaged in informal discussion of disarmament today considered the form of Ger- many's future collaboration in the World Disarmament Conference and the measures for arms limitation al- ready suggested. The German delegation has for- warded to Berlin the proposals ad- vanced here, including the suggestions of Norman Davis, the American repre- sentative, and may receive a reply late in the day. Hopes to Save Plan. The Davis proposals are essentially an attempt to save what is possible out of President Hoover’s plan for reduc- tion of all arms by approximately one- third and to get the resulting arrange- ment into concrete form as soon as pos- sible. Mr. Davis has suggested a method of wocedul’e rather than a detailed proj- for he contends that the situation u sml in a state of flux and the Amer- ican delegation has no plan to substi- tute for any other advanced. The underlying idea of his proposals 4s to get an agreement into tangible tarm mr the solution of such problems 8s the French demand for security and the German demand for equality. ‘Thereafter his idea is to set up some establishment, possibly a permnnent disarmament comm draft a final disarmament treaty whl:h would last over a span of years. The pro- visions to be incorporated in a tem- porary convention are now the subject of negotiation. Seek Agreement of Four. Late today or tomorrow the Amer- | feans hope that the five-power conver- sations may be turned to discussion of concrete disarmament measures ac- ceptable to the United States, France, Great Britain and Italy—Germany be- ing already subject to limitation under the Versailles treaty. Once these four have agreed, the lan is to recommend to the general isarmament Conference a definite se- ries of limitation and reduction meas- ures to which the big powers would pledge themselves. These would cover efectives, gun calibers and war mate- rial, such as tanks. It is hoped also that it may be possible to bring in & Franco-Italian naval accord. 21/, PER CENT SALES TAX RECOMMENDED IN MILLS’ REPORT (Continued Prom First Page.) about $355,000,000, assuming a full mn collections, thus making possi- the elimination of 8 number of the unsatisfactory -nd uhfl ively unproduc- 300 FARMERS HERE T0 SEEK RELIEF Spokesmen Call on 'Curtis and Garner, Asking Legislation. Nearly 300 “dirt” farmers from widely scattered sections of the country, who “marched” on the National Capital to demand immediate relief measures, con- vened their Farmers’ National Relief Conference this morning while spokes- men appeared at the Capitol to arrange for presentation of legislative petitions. An organization meeting of the dele- gates was held at 11 o'clock at the hall of the Typographical Union at 423 G street. Anthony Rosenberg, Newman Grove, Nebr, was elected temporary chairman. Meanwhile, two men in working clothes, called on Speaker Garner at his office in the House side of the Capitol to ask permission to present s petition Friday. They were assured their reso- lutions would be received and con- sidered. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

TOKIO, December 7.—A Japanese proposal that Russia, Japan and Man- chukuo act in ‘“close co-operation” for peace along the Soviet-Manchurian border was disclosed by the foreign of- fice today, together with the asser- tion that the Moscow reaction was noncommittal. This information was made public a few hours after Rengo (Japanese) News Agency dispatches reported Japa- clad in a red sweater and corduroy pants. “You boys h:vent worked on a farm much more than have,” said the s aker, “Of wum I quit when I was but I followed the plow many miles be!ore then.” The meeting here today of delegates to the Farmers’ National Relief Confer- ence is an outgrowth of the farmers’ strikes in Towa last Summer, when transportation of farm products to s number of cities was blocked mili- tant gmupn of farmers ln an effort to boost p! The hrmeu decided upon a conclave of their own at the time the Governors of the Middle West States met at Sioux City, Iowa, September 9. Teaders of the conference here believe the delegates, each of whom represents at least 25 farmers back home, can agree on the general principles of pro- posed Government action. n such a program has been adopted by the convention, it is announced by leaders of the conference, their demands will be laid before congressional leaders. The farmers then expect to retum fo their homes. Lem Harris, a Pennsylvania farmer, who has a home in l" ‘York City, today said he body “dirt” farmers would agree gram of demands which wuu.ld a moratorium on debts, including re- lef from taxation, while other means are being undertaken to boost farm product prices to & point above produc- costs. a farmer of the Nebrasks State Holiday Associa- tion, told his fellow delegates, the opening of the convention, farmers of his State acted in efforts to prevent eviction of impoverished farm- ers from their homes for non-payment of debts.

Drop in Estimates. The Secretary said that, while it had been estimated last May that the in- come of the Government for the 1933 fiscal year would amount to $3098,- 000,000, revised estimates indicated they would total $2,624,000,000. He said customs dutles now were estimated at $250,000,000, 2 drop of $60,000,000 from the 'May estimate; income taxes, at $860,000,000, a drop of $176,000,000; brewers’ wort, at $10,000,000, a drop of $72,000,000; bank checks, at $45,000,000, a drop of 833,000,000, and admissions, &t $21,000,000, a decrease of $23,000,000. Government receipts were estimated for the 1934 fiscal year from all sources at $2,949,162,713 and expenditures at $3,790,425,200. For the present fiscal year he estimated that receipts from all sources would amount to $2,949- 162,713 and expenditures to $3,978,794,- 200 nid ‘However difficult and painful it may be,” Mills told Congress, “Government expenditures must be drastically cut when, owing to extraordinary circum- stances, the Government ds that within a comparative short period its revenues have been cut in half, with little prospect of substantial improve- ment in the near future.

Sting Was Bullet Wound. SA\S CONGRESS WONT CHANGE. Settlements Already Made Should Stand. By the Associated Press. In the first congressional debate on war debts this session Representative Treadway, Republican, of Massachusetts, said today in the House that “there has never been any intention on the part of the Congress, other than the moratorium of last year, that there | should be any change or modification of | these agreements.” Treadway urged payment on the hasis of settlements already made. Shortly before he spoke, Secretary Stimson, at the State Department, re- ceived a new note from Belgium, re- | newing, as England and France have already done, their yequests for an ex- tension of the Hoover moratorium to cover December 15 payments and for re-examination of the debt agreements. Treadway, staunch administration m‘ porter in the past, made no direct ref- to the wish President Hoover Debt Funding Commission, but said “Congress is the source of all authority in dealing with this subject.” “Congress took away the power to deal with this matter through diplo- matic channels,” the Massachusetts blican said, “and passed definite lation thueon”n cannot be and Bowune | 25 t the behest of | inflation nese troops had entered Manchuli, a far Northwestern Manchurian city near the Soviet border.

President Hoover today applied fin- ishing touches to executive orders which he will send to Congress to effect sweep- ing reorganization of the Federal Gov- ernment for greater economy. While Mr. Hoover has studied this subject for a long time, it has only been during the past few weeks that he has actually drafted executive orders for wholesale consolidation and grouping of various executive and administrative activities and complete abolishment of other activities. He has conferred on the matter with his cabinet several times recently and also with the di- rector of the budget to get their views on his general reorganization scheme. The greatest secrecy has been main- tained as to the complete plan, how- ever, although the President’s general idea is well known. 60 Days Must ll»u. In his annual message to yesterday President Hoover m would, within the next few days, pre- sent necessary executive orders under the recent act authorizing reorganiza- tion of the Federal Government. He is convinced it will produce substantial economies. This authority, however, makes it necessary for the President to present reorganization executive orders to Congress where they must lie for 60 days, before becoming effective. It was intimated at the White House that the President has nearly completed this task and that orders with an accom- panying statement of explanation will be transmitted to the Capitol by Satur- Mr. Hoover in his message yesterday discussed need for reorganization and said he intended to send some 50 such executive orders. Whether he will transmit these 50 at the same time was not ascertained. Despite secrecy as to specific reor- ganization plans, it is known the President's primary object will be to group executive and administrative functions under a single head. His general plan maintains that 10 major executive departments and the major regulatory and financial boards and commissions should be maintained. But to bring about proper grouping and smalgamations so as to effectively pre- vent duplication of effort and to elimi- nate wasteful overlapping of authority, the President believes it will be neces- sary to authorize changes in titles of some officlals and to create a few new positions in order to permit grouping and consolidation not now possible. New Posts Proposed. In this connection, the President recently pointed out that with enormous growth of governmental business there has been great expansion and diffusion of authority among minor officials, while there is an insufficient number of offi- cials with definite responsibility to the public. He contends the additional ex- pense of such officers over and above salaries now paid officials who would be displaced, would be less than $40,000 a year. He believes the saving in cost of administration will be many times that sum. According to a recommenda- tion made to Congress during the last session, the most l.mpomnz of the posts of this character are Public works sdmlnlslrawr a_ new office; personnel tor, a change of title from chairman of the Civil Service Commission; assistant secretary of Public Health, a new office; Assist- ant Secretary, for Education, a change of title from commissioner; Assistant Secretary for Merchant Marine, 8 new Office; Assistant Secretary for Conser- vation, a new cffice; Anlsum Secretary for Agriculture Research, a change of title from President, and Assistant Sec- retary for Agriculture Economics, & change from the title of director. The establishment of an Assistant Secretary of Merchant Marine would confirm “other proposals in which the Pnuidznt recummended taking away mfine activities from the fl Public “Works Administration would be partially a service agency to other departments, executing certain construction work ‘The 'l Administralion 'ml!d comprise vnrloul agencies relating to the el of the Government as a service agency to all departmenis of the Government. He would broadea func- tions of the reclamation service and conservation of the Western ranges. Besides relegating the Shipping Board to a merely regulatory body without ad- ministrative functions, it is not yet known just what other independent agencies the President will virtually wllape out in his complete reorganization plans. DRY LAW DECISION SPEED HELD VITAL BY JUSTICE HEAD (Continued From First Page.) which was incorporated in the report of Attorney General Mitchell, showed 90,217 cases made during the year in comparison to 76,580 the previous year. Out of 70,252 cases terminated in Fed- eral Courts, convictions were obtainéd in 61,383, and of 13,847 terminated in State courts, convictions totaled 11,980, Woodcock sald that the ob]emve of the bureau “has been to detect and n.nie justice the commercial violator n-unml prohibition laws.” sald nine dry agents had been kuled during the year. Discusses Crime. Mitchell discussed briefly the ques- tion of crime amd urged improvement of local justice machinery 1ather than expansion of Federal acuvity to deal with the problem. “The crime problem in this country is not to be solved,” he said, “by en- larging the scope of Federal activity, but by imprnvement in local machinery of justice, supported or demanded by public opinicn.” He also mentioned that sometimes one to three years were required to dis- pose finally of criminal cases after a verdict of guilty because of the ma- chinery of appeals to higher courts. He called ‘the situation “a grave reproach to our system of administration of criminal justice.” Reciting the detailed work of the department in its operations under re- duced appropriations, the Attorney General reported there were 222,738 cases begun in Federal District Courts in the fiscal year, 1932, compared with 198414 in 1931. ' Similarly, cases ter- minated for the two years were 216.087 and 201,408, respectively, because of rapid increase of the department’s ac- . | tivities. wwm ‘:gfd that “no lemhtlnn onal burdens” voted Congress without comldznunn of department’s financial situation.

Representative Bacharach, Republi- can, of New Jersey, asked Huber whether the nickle glass of beer could be cold under a $5-a-barrel Federal tax. “It would be pretty small,” Huber sald, adding that States and citles also would tax the beverage. He said under some circumstances beer could be pro- duced at $6 a barrel for a reasonable profit. !n 1914, Huber said, on the basis of Government figures, there was invested $858,861,000- in 1,392 breweries, while in 1832 there were but 231 legitimate brewers. Beer could be manufactured to be sold for $2.16 a case, or 9 cents a bottle for distribution, the witness said. He forecast it would require two years to build up the business. about 30 per — plant capacity would be needed by the brewers for two years. Representative Dickinson, Democrat, of Missouri asked what percentage of alcohol he preferred, and Huber af with Cooke on “3.2 by weight or 4 per cent by volume.” In 1914, Huber said, 76,893 men were employed directly in the brewery in- dustry, and it was estimated that 300,- 000 were employed indirectly.
