By the Associated Press. TOPEKA, April 12—Land values, rentals and farm wages in Kansas have shrunk along with prices of agricultural commodities. ‘The Federal and State Departments of Agriculture reported yesterday that land values are 12 to 15 per cent lower than a year ago. Rental values per acre for general farm lands averaged $1.94 this year compared with $2.35 last year and $3.05 two years ago. Rental values of plowlands were re- ported at $2.40 this year, against $3 last year, and for pasture lands, $1.04, compared with $1.25. Farm wage scales were reported at! about the same level as in the late 90s. Average farm wages this year and last were reported as follows: Monthly board, $16.50 and $22; monthly without board, $26.25 and $33.25; dally wages with board, 85 cents and $1.15; daily without board, $1.25 and $1.60. TO SUCCEED MOFFETT Former Benator Praises Captain for His Qualifications for Aero- nautical Post. Appointment of Capt. John 8. Tow- ers to the post of chief of the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics to succeed Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, who died in the Akron crash, was urged today by former Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut, president of the National Aeronautic Association. The Appointment of Towers to be his successor was recommended by Ad- miral Moffett only a short time before his death, and Bingham declared he does not believe “there is a better quali- fied officer for this important position. Bingham pointed out that Capt. Towers has had a long and notable ca- reer in the Naval aviation service and for several years was assistant to Moffett as chief of the bureau. Capt. Towers was one of the first three Naval officers assigned to aviation duty and took flying instruction from the late Glenn H. Curtiss in 1911, He wes charge of the expedition of the big Navy NC flying boats, which resulted in the first cressing of the Atlantic by an airplane. ARMSTRONG BATTALION WINS AWARD FOR DRILL Unit Defeats Dunbar and Cardozo Organizations in Annual Contest. Armstrong High School's 2d Bat- talion, 25th Regiment, won the annual battalion drill among the ocadets of the colored schools late yesterday. The winnjng unit, commanded by Cadet Maj. Willilam Reed, defeated the com- fng battalions of the Dunbar and m Cardozo High Schools in the drill held in Walker Stadium, adjoining Dunbar. Representative Oscar De Priest of presented loving cups to Cadet can be done to revive the immense trade that once was carried on between the two countries. In the fiscal year 1929, Canada bought goods from her Southern -neighbors to the value of $868,012,220 and sold the United States goods to' the value of $499,612,145. The trade between the two countries has been diminishing for several years. The premium of the United States dollar over the Canadian dollar, approximately 20 per cent, not only makes much heavier the interest burden Canada has to meet each year in New York, but is one of the most important factors in it_difficult for United States firms to sell goods in Canada. Producers Protected. ‘The Canadian producers are pro- tected by this premium in addition to the regular tariff and dumping duties which have been levied frequently United States products, The importer has to pay $1.20 in Canadian funds for each dol- lar's ‘worth of goeds in United States funds and has to pay the tariff charges based on $1.20. For a time this dtlm‘lcy in excl the Canadi farmers who sell certain products across the border, the premium in exchange wiping out much of the United States tarifl, but recently prices of farm prod- ucts such ‘as butter, eggs, poultry, etc., have reached such low levels in the Republic that this trade is cut off. Some ‘steps likely will be studied to make the tariffs between the two coun- tries less liable to change due to fluctua- tions in exchange and the application :(u.aumpln‘ or unfair competition uties, ‘Tariff experts here has xpressed the opinion that, while U'::lt:d States e cormmponding’ Sanadian tazie, the corresponding % tariffs, frequent use of the dumping duties Canada and right of the minister of national revenue to declare the fair Visit of Premier Bennett Here Is Expected to Stimy- late Trade Relations Between Two Countries. Are Pointed Out. es effective & barrier against the goods from across the line as the relatively higher United States tariff is against Canadian exports. Lower Tarifts Likely. It is expected that many lines of manufactured goods will be sought out on which Canada will see its way clear to lower the tariff against the United States in return for lower tariffs against natural products from Canada. Lumber is one commodity in which, were it not for heavy tariff imposts, both countries would sell heavily to the other. Canada would provide an im- portant market as times improve for Southern woods and the United States could buy timber cedar of the products of the Canadian forests. Potatoes is another commodity in which an extensive interchange could be provided, with Canada buying the early varieties from the South and sell- 1::; the seed potatoes and Fall produc- tion. Fish is also looked upon as offering important opportunities for increased trade between the two countries. Canada has great capacity for rals- ing cattle suitable to be taken to the markets, At one time Canada shipped more than 200,000 head to the United States yearly. At present, the Dominion is busy developing a market for live cattle in the United Kingdom. 100,000 Head Shipped. Years ago Canada used to ship more than 100,000 head annually to the United Kingdom but withdrew from the | market when the demand from the United States became keen, only to have the United States market cut off almost entirely by the Hawley-Smoot tariff. It is hoped something may be done to open up that cattle market again although in any event Canadian cattle would continue to move to Britain due to improved conditions there as a re- sult of the removal of restrictions in the British market. lation of wheat frodumnn will be a <difficult problem for the nations of the world to solve. Canada would be vitally interested in any plan to pro- vide agalnst & repetition of world sur- lus which sent the prices down evels far below the cost of production in either the United States or Canada. How it can be accomplished, however, is s matter of divided opinion. Many sections of the prairie provinces are not suitable for any other crops. Canada had a visible surplus of 234.000.000 bushels at the end of March, but the general feeling here is that, although the Dominion will have an all-time record carryover at the end of the pres- ent crop year, it will be a good asset and prices will be firmer. Much Silver Mined. In the matter of rehabilitating the price of silver Canads is also ePly interested. The mines of the Dominion produced 18,300,000 fine ounces last year, the bulk of which was recovered from mines in which gold, copper, lead and zinc were also produced. Over 5,500,000 ounces were recovered along with lead and zinc in the trail- smelters. Upward of 1,000,000 ounces came from copper mines of Mani- tobs and 3,000,000 from the Mayo dis- trict in the Yukon. The silver mines of Cobalt produced about 5,000,000 ounces. Noranda produces considerable silver along with gold and copper. Many of mines produce silver- re- gardless of the price because of the other metals being recovered, but any| market value of any goods coming in has made the Canadian tariff at least increase in silver prices would help the mining industry over a broad fleld. | “:| FINDS FIVE-HOUR WORKING DAY HAS REVOLUTIONIZING RESULTS FALL WITH FARM PRICES|Former Editor Urges Life in Country, With Occasional City Visits for Stimulation. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 12.—At least one man has experimented over a period of years with the 5-hour day, with suc- cess. He is Gove Hambidge, formerly editor of the Columbia Monthly, asso- ciate editor of The World Tomorrow, and writer for & number of magasines. “Experience with this five-hour day has been so revolutionizing,” he writes in “Time to Live,” published today, “that I would be & rank ingrate if I did not do my best to contribute some- thing to the argument for it, or rather| for much shorter working hours than | have hitherto prevailed.” Hambidge’s decision to leave his work in New York was sudden. Reached Sudden Decision. “I reached an inward rebelliousness so sharp that I gave up the job,” he writes, “walked out of the office and was last seen headed for the hills. The minute I was free of the tide that flows in and out of offices I was able to make a complete rearrangement of the work- ing_day. “Where I had spent most of the day- light hours at stead: I now sat down to my desk very ear] in the morning, and by lunch time had put in five hours of hard, uninterruptea work.

This does not come all at once.” Hambidge suggests some major uses for time, one being time for simplicity, or the attainable maximum of primi- tiveness; for grow vegetables and flowers, and for walking. Another use is for games, and a wide variety of them, preferably those not too highly conventionalized, and for sports, the best of which he considers swimming. Another is time for “the greatest ad- venture,” which is the continuing pur- suit of education. Hambidge believes. “It is imperative that we continue | education throughout life if we are to keep up at all with the expansion of knowledge.

Japan today formally accepted the invitation to send a leading statesman to the Washington conversations with President Roosevelt on world economic recovery.

Of all the suggestions and proposals that have been made under the all- embracing and refreshing {losophy of the “new deal” none has occa- sioned here more genuine curiosity and interest than the latest design for gov- ermental operation, which shall consist, as President Roosevelt describes it, of a corporation of three “clothed with the power of government, but possessed of the flexibility and initiative of a private corporation.” Government Hopes Stated. Mr. Roosevelt has stated the ideal in governmental hopes and aspirations. For years there have been academic treatises on the rights and power and authority of the Government to conduct varjous business operations, but Con- gress has always insisted upon putting | all such projects in the strait-jacket and preventing the executives of the boards or commissions or corporations in question from exercising ordinary business discretion. Even in the proposed bill to operate Muscle Shoals, the measure limits the salary of the chairman or president of the Tennessee Valley authority—the corporation which is to all the advantages of private initiative—to $10,000 a year and the other two mem- bers are to be limited to $9,000 a year. There are doubtless men in the United States who can manage invest- ments and manufacturing enterprises involving hundreds of millions of dol- lars and be content with a salary of $10,000 a year, but usually they are men who have made their fortunes in private finance or industry and look upon Government service as a hobby for the latter days of life. High Salary Once Paid. ‘The Government at times has as much as $25,000 a year in salaries, but invariably Congress has become critical of such expenditures. The result is that often men who cannot command higher pay elsewhere seek the executive positions at $10,000 a year or else young, ambitious individuals who regard the Government service as a stepping stone t0 commercial life seek the posts in the hope of experimenting with Government property authority and getting their training at Government expense. Judged by the far-reaching plan just announced by the President, the Ten- nessee Valley authority is going into the business of manufacturing fertilizer for the farmer and nitrogen for explosives and is to build transmission lines for the sale of power to communities and is generally to carry on & vast operation at low cost. These operations are to be financed through the sale of securities payable out of receipts and surpluses. t remains to be seen what private investors will think of such bonds when the management is to be deprived at the outset of the right to do what private initiative and enterprising usually do, namely, bargain freely for the best talent available in the engi- neering or business world. If such bonds have to be guaranteed by the Government, irrespective of the oper- ating efficiency of the corporation, it will mean conclusively that the in- vestor has no faith in political or gov- ernmental management. Political Freedom Unrevealed. ‘The administration’s proposal does not reveal how a new kind of corpora- tion free from politics and congressional influence, is to be created or how the initiative that private industry and business enjoy in rewarding those who have the incentive is to be implanted. While the bill is sure to be opposed and will be the occasion of party division, the Roosevelt drive will be be- hind the measure and it is a foregone conclusion it will“be passed in some form, in fact it seems likely the pro- posal may become the forerunner of regulation by the Federal Government of interstate transmission of power. The courts have indicated clearly that this is within the power of Congress to supervise, (Copyright, 1933.) DR.
