WALLAGE DEFENDS - FARM RELIEF PLAN Program Looks Toward a “Balanced Social State,” Says Secretary. Secretary of Agriculture Wallsce yesterday praised the Roosevelt farm yelief program as looking toward “s balanced social state”—to benefit not only the farmer but the entire Nation. In an address here he asserted that the proposal, now awaiting action in Congress, provides an “ample safe- guard” for consumers; that taxes through which the program will seek to increase the farmers' return will de- cline as rapidly as the price the farmer receives for his product increases. Wallace defended the bill's aim to curtall production, asserting um “as our economic system works, it seems that the m.m the surplus of wheat on !':braska farms, the longer the bread lines in New York.” “A Major Experiment.” “In a complicated world system ot exchange,” he said, “it seems to be necessary to maintain a balance be- tween erent u&: of producers if | we are to avoll Our sur: lumol!oodmplumbohnu as disastrous an effect upon na- tional well-being as crop shortage used to have on isolated communities of & simpler age.” Wallace, in whose hands broad pow- ers to prescribe methods of relief for various basic commodities wculd be placed, said the bill “attempts & major social experiment,” but expressed con- fidence that it can succeed if the co- operation of farmers, processors and consumers is obtained in its operation. It successful, farm buying power will % :eenefltung all groups in the Na- “It (the bill) is trying to subdue the habitual anarchy of a major Ameri- can industry,” he sald, “and to estab- Tish organized control in the interest pot only of the farmer but of every- Body else” More Than a Year Needed. Explaining the variety of plans th bill would make available for nmu eation to different products, Wa said that accomplishment of its goal— return of farm prices to the 1909-1914 Jevel—would be impossible of accom- plishment in a single year. “It may be true that Lhe things which this bill strives to attain here and now may be brought about 10 or 15 years hence by the m- worlinl of economic law,” he tion, we hope, will speed the mevihble readjustments with much less suffering than under the harsh hand controlled competition.” —_— AUTOIST EXONERATED IN DEATH OF NIECE Ooroner’s Jury Investigates Over- turning of Hughes’ Car After Inaugural Ball.

That structure is bound to collapse, if one of the sections is wrecked by any of the signatory powers. “Japan, a principal nznltory pawer in invading and _occupying Manchuria and Jehol, and awemptln[ to create therefrom a so-called inde- pendent ‘Manchukuo,’ is violating the nine-power treaty upon which depends the equmbrlum of the Far East and de- molishing the foundation on which rests the peace structure of the Pacific. “After 17 months of prolonged and considerable study of the Sino-Japanese dispute, the special assembly of the League of Nations has adopted unani- mously a report condemning Japan as the aggressor and invader. Obligations Disregarded. “Japan's complete disregard of her treaty obligations to the United States and the League member states, her con- tinued deflance of the international ver- dict of ‘guilty’ and her studied indiffer- ence to world opinion, are making it abundantly clear that she proposes to stop at nothing in the prosecution of her ultra-nationalistic policy.
