CHICAGO, Ill, December 9.—Ar- raigned before a jury of agriculture’s By the Associated Press. \ Shouted charges of “liar” between industry and Government spokesmen today gave a tumultous opening to the business conference summoned by George L. Berry, President Roosevelt's co-ordinator for industrial co-opera- tion. As more than 2,000 industry-labor representatives milled about in the large Labor Department Audito- { rium, John W.

After he had been advised to do his talking before a round table con- ference, he demanded “the right of an American citizen” to talk imme- diately. “You know that you were sent here | to dynamite this meeting and I'm not going to let you do it,” Berry said quietly from the platform. “You're an unqualified liar,” Haake roared back. “You're another, and if you come eat it,” Berry retorted. | The confusion resulting from the !delegnus leaving the hall and roars of “sit down!” from the labor dele- gation stopped any further exchange.

ST A AN WAGES farm program today were described | by President Roosevelt as “political profiteers” as the Chief Executive de- livered himself of a sweeping defense of administration policy on behalf of the farmer. The President’s address was de-| livered in the International Amphi- | theater at Chicago’s famed stock yards, where the American Farm Bu- reau Federation is in annual conven- tion. Welcomed by Governor. Gov. Horner of Illinois and Mayor Kelly of Chicago welcomed the Presi- dent as his special train arrived near the stock yards amphitheater, where the farm meeting was in session. | Edward A. O'Neal, president of the farm federaiion, walked to the plat- | form with Mr, Roosevelt amid a roar- | ing welcome by th convention. O'Neal introduced Secretary Wallace | for just a word before the President | spoke. | The huge amphitheater structure, for which 15,000 admission tickets had been given out, was completely filled. The President began by compli- menting the farmers for the improve- ment of their organized forces since he last made a farm address here in | 1929. Smiling broadly at the huge crowd | that greeted him, he reminded his | hearers that six years ago they had gathered “in a very small hotel room.” [ Powerful flood lights lighted the stage from various angles of the audi- | togium, Postmaster General Farley, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, joined the President and | sat on the platform with Mayor Kelly. | The farm program was aimed, Mr. | Roosevelt said, “to stop the rule of | tooth and claw that threw the farmers | into bankruptcy or turned them vir- | tually into serfs.” As evidence that | it is succeeding, he pointed to an in- | crease in farm income of “nearly | $3,000,000,000n the past two and one- half years.” Sweeping opponents of the program into one classification, the President declared: “It is they and their hench- men who are doing their best to foment city people against the farm- ers and the farm program. It is that type of political profiteer who seeks to discredit the vote in favor of a con- tinued corn-hog program.” Defends Canadian Pact. Coupled with this defense of the | A. A A and its workings, Mr. Roose- | velt also included an indorsement of the new Canadian trade treaty, assur- ing his listeners that “agriculture, far | from being crucified by this agree- ment, as some have told you, actually | gains by it.” Here again opponents ‘were given a treatment of invective as he described them as “dispensers of discord” and “calamity howlers.” Of their criticism he said: “If the calamity howlers should happen to be right, you have every assurance that Canada and the United States will join in correcting inequal- ities, but I do not believe for a single moment that the calamity howlers are right. “We export more agricultural prod- ucts to Canada than we have im- ported from her, | “We shall continue to do so, for the | very simple reason that the Unncd[ States, with its larger area of agri- cultural land, its more varied climate and its vastly greater population, pro- duces far more of most agricultural products, including animal products, vegetables and fruit, than does Can- ada. “In the case of the few reductions that have been made, quota limita- tions are set on the amount that may be brought in at the lower rates. “The proof of this particular pud- ding is in the eating; the best way to judge the new accord is to observe how it works.” Sought to End Destruction. Motivation for the farm program, he said, was found in the necessity of putting an end “to the destructive forces that were threatening American agriculture. “We sought to stop the rule of tooth and claw that threw farmers into (See ROOSEVELT, Page 3.)

As Reed began his defense of the legislation, President Roosevelt, who may ask Congress for higher taxes if the court rules against him, was in Chicago, prepared to defend his farm relief program before the annual convention of the American Farm Bureau Federation. The proceedings are being watched with particular interest by farmers, business men and political leaders. Farmers are anxious to know whether they will continue to operate under the crop control plan, by which they receive benefit payments for restricted planting. The business men waited to see whether they must continue paying the processing taxes, which finance (See FARM, Page 4.)

Great Britain, it was said, had made marked concessions. Next 36 Hours Decisive. Events of the next 36 hours were expected to determine the duration of the campaign in the African kingdom. The Franco-British solidarity, in sharp contrast to the widely divergent views of the Italian campaign evi- denced on the two sides of the English Channel at the start of the war, “ex- tended far beyond the Italo-Ethiopian conflict,” diplomatic sources in Paris said. An authoritative source said today the British cabinet had been called to extraordinary session to consider the new Anglo-French plan. The plan, arranged in Paris by British representatives in conference with Premier Laval, was brought to London today by Maurice Peterson, the British foreign office expert on Ethiopia. As soon as he arrived, Peterson went into conference with Prime Minister Baldwin, Anthony Eden, minister for League of Nations affairs, and other officials at the foreign office.

Yule Toys for Boys and Girls Will Be Received Entire Week Donations to Warner Brothers and Star Campaign Need Not Be Held Until Saturday’s Performance. Telephone bells jangled in the ex. ecutive offices of Warner Bros.' the- aters, high up in the Earle Building. One question seemed to be uppermost in the minds of all those who tele- phoned: “Can we bring toys to the theaters before Saturday—toys for the boys and girls of Washington? Christ- mas toys!” John J. Payette, zone manager of the 11 Warner Bros.' theaters, work- ing in co-operation with The Star Toy Campaign, took personal charge this morning of answering all these telephone calls. He instructed his office force: “Tell these people they can up the lobbies of the Warner Bros.’ theaters, every day this week—and keep the lobbies filled with tops until Saturday morning. Oertainly they can bring toys in advance.” Quite a lot of the grown-ups ex- pressed the desire to present the toys without having the privilege of at- tending the photoplay performances. ‘These people said they would rather let children occupy the seats in the theaters—free seats given at morning performances in exchange for toys.

Britain suggested “paper parity,” United States objected; preliminary conference broke up to await present sessions. On Sat- urday, Japan renewed demand, threatened to deadlock conference. (Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press.) LONDON, December 9.—The United States today proposed a 20 per cent reduction in the world's great navies but Japan immediately rejected the plan. This rejection was announced to a press conference by Admiral Osami Nagano, the chief Japanese delegate to the international naval conference which opened today. Admiral Nagano said such a cut of the existing treaty tonnage would only prolong the ratio system by which Japan is limited to three-fifths the naval power maintained by either the United States or Great Britain, and that therefore it was not acceptable to Japan.

Failing all else, Davis advocated a “frank and friendly exchange of views to discover other paths of mutual understanding, to prevent a naval ‘The immediate reaction in authori- tative British quarters was agreement to the principle of reduced tonnage. It was said, however, that before the British government could commit it- self, concrete American proposals would have to be submitted. Such proposals, it was stated, would receive “serious consideration.” Davis' address followed a concilia- tory welcoming speech by Great Britain’s Prime Minister Stanley Bald- win, calling upon principal seapowers to yield some of their demands in an attempt to “avert the calamity of unrestricted naval competition.” ‘The opening of the conference climaxed a year of British diplomatic efforts to mend the wreckage of last year’s futile conversations to discover a formula for an agreement to replace the Washington and London limita- tlons treaties expiring with 1936.
