CROP LEGISLATION DELAY REQUESTED Northeastern States’ Offi- cials for Investigation First of Effects. BY the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 12—Com- missioners and secretaries of agricul- ture in the Northeastern States, in conference here today, asked Secre- tary of Agriculture Wallace to with- hold any crop control legislation “un- til ample and’ considered investigation has been made of the effects of such a program upon all of the States.” In a letter to the Secretary—signed by Frank P. Washburn, commissioner of Agriculture in Maine and president of the Northeastern Association of Commissioners and Secretaries of Agriculture—the association expressed its approval of the administraion’s present program of soil conservation and said it stood ready “to give you any assistance that you may need in the formulation of a national program for agriculture.” Curtailment and Drought. Discussing the invalidated A. A. A. and crop control in general, the letter to Wallace said: “We wish to call attention to the effect of the former program of the A. A, A, which had as its objective the curtailment of production of staple crops, and to the effect of the drought. Both of these factors have | produced a situation which has been definitely harmful to the agriculture of this region. * * * “We note that there is being agi- tated a renewal of crop-control meas- ures quite distinct from methods of soil conservation and that this agita- tion is coming from the areas of staple | crop production, whose era of short- age and high cost has adversely affected Northeastern agriculture. s en Investigation Urged. Setting forth that the Northeastern Btates “are vitally affected by any | program of staple crop production,” the association continued: “We sincerely believe that we are | expressing the viewpoint of one-| fourth of the States when we urge | that there be no effort in the prep- aration of legislation along crop-con- | trol lines until ample and considered investigation has been made of the effects of such a program upon all of | the States.” Represented at the conference were the New England States, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia WILL SPEAK AT FORUM 8ocial Reform Legislation to Be Topic at Meeting.

BY the Associated Press. VIENNA, November 12.—Italy, Aus- tria and Hungary—already bound to- gether by economic and financial pacts —are building a tripartite front re- garding bolshevism, Spanish socialism and the League of Nations, informed sources disclosed toda; A foreign office spokesman said an Italo - Austro - Hungarian agreement, coupled with a possible bid to Ger- many to join the bloc, was on the agenda for ensuing sessions of the current conference among the three nations. The Spanish situation, the spokes- man declared, would come up. It was rumored in diplomatic quarters that recognition of the insurgent govern- ment in Spain was possible should the| Socialist administration fall. Hope to Attract Germany. Responsible sources also asserted a consensus would be sought against communism. The proposal was ad- vanced, well-informed quarters said, in the hope of attracting Germany to the group of Central European powers, Diplomatic and other circles were astir with talk over the recognition of Italy’s conquest of Ethiopia expressed in toasts to King Victor Emmanuel of Italy last night by Kurt Schuschnigg, Austrian chancellor, and Foreign Min- ister Koloman von Kanya of Hungary. Both spoke at a banquet closing the | first day of conferences among foreign office officials of the three nations, al- | lied under the recently extended 1934 | Rome protocols. Kanya Message Headlined. Newspapers headlined Kanya's mes- sage to the Italian monarch of “Hun- garian recognition of the Roman em- pire in Ethiopia.” Schuschnigg’s salutation, “To His Majesty, the King of Italy and the | Emperor of Ethiopia,” however, was | not emphasized. Observers from nations in South- eastern Europe commended a declara- | tion by Schuschnigg at the dinner that *no menacing bloc is being formed.” The festivities, however, were pon- | dered by diplomats for other llgnlfi- | | eance. ‘The resplendent banquet was held‘ lin the Schoenbrunn palace of the | Hapsburgs.

BY the Associated Press. Treasury officials hinted today that the administration will ask Congress to continue indefinitely its present far- reaching monetary powers. A bill will be offered in the first few days of the session, one high authority said, extending the Government's authority to maintain the $2,000,000,- 000 stabilization fund and the Presi- dent’s special powers to vary the gold content of the dollar. Both are sched- uled to expire January 30 under present law. ‘The official asserted it had not been finally determined whether the ex- tension would be asked for some fixed period or indefinitely, but added that the prevailing opinion of Treasury experts favored unlimited continuance. Monetary Pact Cited. This was desirable, it was said, be- cause of this country's participation in the new monetary agreement with Prance and England. Under this accord, the three nations are pledged to use “appropriate avail~ able resources” to prevent sharp fluc- tuations in their currencies. Although any nation may withdraw from the agreement if its internal economy is adversely affected, no such withdrawal is in sight now. Since the understanding seems likely to con- tinue for an indefinite period, officiais said it appears desirable to extend the life of the stabilization fund in- definitely to assist the United States Put your feet on a proper founda- tion—a correct alignment from heel to toe—as in FOOT-JOY shoes pictured in No. 1.

In addi- tion to the original $2,000,000,000, the Treasury has chalked up some profit from international exchange opera- | tions, but the amount of this is not | known. ‘The President’s power to vary the gold content of the dollar is closely | tied up with operation of the stabiliza- | tion fund, because it gives him added | control over the Nation's currency in | relation to currencies of other coun- | tries, At present, the dollar is fixed at| about 59 per cent of its former gold‘ value.
