A—6 HOOVER REFUSES PARLEY COMMENT Landon and Lowden Confer With Him “on National Crisis”—Agree Entirely. By the Associated Press. OREGON, III, October 4—Repub- lican leaders speculated today over the possible outcome of & secret con- ference attended by three men high in the councils of the party—former President Herbert Hoover, Alf M. Landon and Frank O. Lowden, World ‘War Governor of Illinois. Hoover and Landon, former Gover- nor of Kansas, spent yesterday at the Sinnissippi farm home of the elder statesman of the Republican party, and after several hours' conference Lowden issued & statement which said: “Former Gov. Landon and former President Hoover were my guests dur- ing the day (Sunday). The three of us canvassed the national crisis at great length. We find ourselves in Agreement on every problem, both of the country and the party.” Another Parley Seen. But Illinois Republican leaders were inclined to believe the meeting was called principally to discuss Hoover's recent proposal for an unofficial na- tional convention next year. First word that the meeting was held came last night when a secre- tary telephoned newspapers and dic- tated Lowden's statement. Reached several hours later, Low- den declined to amplify the statement, saying “It speaks for itself.” The 76-year-old former Ilinois Governor—twice a member of Con- gress, lawyer and dirt farmer since the day of the hand plow—added, however, that another conference with Landon and Hoover “would be a logi- cal conclusion, but no definite plans have been made.” Hoover Adds Nothing. Hoover, who was reached at the home of A. R. Shaw, a close friend, near Chicago, said he had “nothing to add” to the statement given out by Lowden. ‘The Hoover - Landon - Lowden con- ference followed close on the heels of the Republican Executive Committee’s vote to refer the former President's convention proposal to the entire Na- tional Committee. Chairman John Hamilton announced less than two weeks ago that he would call the members together as soon as possibie, | probably in Chicago. Some opposition to the proposal de- veloped in the Executive Commiliee meeting, and several leading Republi- | cans in Congress gave the plan a cold | shoulder, fearing an unofficial conven- tion might be used as a vehicle for building up sentiment for the nomi- nation of isome individual in rather than for shaping party princi- ples.

GRAND FORKS, N. Dak., Octo- ber 4. —The text of President Roose- velt's address here today follows: I regret that the necessities of the schedule brought me through the greater part of North Dakota by dark. Last night, however, I saw a portion of the drought area of Eastern Mon- tana—a situation akin to yours in the western part of this State. We can at least be thankful that the rains and the crops in this valley, and, indeed, in the eastern part of both Dakotas and most of Minnesota have been far more plentiful than last year. On this intensely interesting trip I have had another view of that Northern and Western part of the | United States which is so greatly dependant for its prosperity on agri- culture and its sister, forestry. I am more than ever convince of the im- portance of continuing our national policy of working toward a better economy by stabilizing and improving the life of the average family. Reads Extract From Letter. I received the other day a lel(erfi from one of the only two living | former members of the Supreme Court of .the United States. I have not asked his permission, but I am certain that he will not mind | my reading to you three sentences | from his letter because they express 50 beautifully the thoughts of so many | of us. He says: “In this season of grave reflection | it gives me greatest comfort and hap- | piness to realize that politically and earnest sympathies have gone out and my earnest efforts have been exercised | for the great numbers of my neigh- bors who were living in intolerable | conditions while a few of us under discriminating laws of our own mak- ing were enjoying much more than a fair share of the bounties of nature and governments. “The confidence that this has been | and is unnecessary and socially un- wise, and can and should be correct- ed in large measure by national and social legislation, is at bottom the rea- son, my dear Mr. President, why I see eye to eye with you in your effort to accomplish in eight years what should have been in process of ac- complishment through the last 40 or “My conviction is definite that the most difficult charges for our po- litical adversaries to answer at the bar of history will be their opposi- | tion to the adoption of civilization’s only process for peaceably settling disputes between nations, and their callous indifference and opposition to civilization’s other demand that our neighbors be given at least a modest share in the comforts of life.” Influence of Golden Rule. And he goes on to speak of what | we are doing by introducing into our national life and legislation some- thing at least of the influence of the golden rule: the inauguration of a trend toward better things which very | certainly can never be halted or turned | back, and finally he pays me the finest. compliment any man could have in his life time. He says, “Of course you have fallen into some errors. That is human. But you have put a new | | face upon the social and political life | of our country.” | If ever I get to be 80 years old, like | Mr. Justice John H. Clarke, I hope | that I will have the same spirit that ;sllll seeks better things for my neigh- bors. In seeking the betterment of our farm population, no matter what part % THE NUMBER OF PERSONS SERVED IN THOMPSON'S RESTAURANTS IN 1936, IF ARRANGED IN SINGLE FILE, 3 FEET APART,WOULD & REACH AROUND THE WORLD AND MORE. | bricks or automobiles or shoes. and Social Policies. of the country they live in, no mat- ter whether they raise cotton or corn or wheat or beets or potatoes or rice, the experience we have today teaches us that if we would avoid the poverty of the past we must strive today, not tomorrow, toward two objectives. The first is called better land using, using the 18nd in such a way that we do not destroy it or harm it for future generations, and in such a way that it will bring to us the best year in and year out return as a reward for our labors. This we are doing at least in part today by educating the users of land, by putting back into grass or trees land which should not be under plow, by bringing water to dry soil which has immense possibilities for profitable use, and by helping farm families to resettle on good land. The money we are spending on these ob- Jectives is already coming back as increased national income and will be repaid, in the long run, many times over. Control of Surplus Pushed. The other objective is the control, with the approval of what I believe is the overwhelming sentiment of the farmers themselves, of what is known as crop surplus, Any one crop, wheat or cotton or | corn, for example, is like any widely used manufactured commodity like It, for instance, every shoe factory in the United States were to run on three- shift basis, turning out shoes day and night for two or three years, there would be such & surplus of shoes in the United States that the surplus would have to be sold to the public, in | order to get rid of it, at far less than the actual cost of manufacturing | shoes. The same things hold good of wheat or cotton or corn. We should re- member, incidentally, that the pros- | perity of the wheat growers helps the prosperity of the cotton growers. buy more articles, made out of cotton, and the prosperity of the cotton grow- ers helps the growers of wheat, for the cotton belt is enabled to buy and eat more bread. 1f an enormous surplus of wheat ADVERTISEMENT.

Therefore, I believe that it is essen- tial to our national economic program that we have something to say about the control of the major crop sur- pluses. The Supreme Court has ruled, in a divided opinion, that the Gov- ernment cannot make a contract with a farmer by which acreage is fixed either downward or upward. I have never subscribed to the constitutional theory that agriculture is a purely local matter and that it has, therefore, no national scope. Two Methods Held Sane. Perhaps it will be held constitu- tional for the Government to say to & farmer, if you do thus and so, the Government will do thus and so. Asa matter of common sense I cannot see very much practical difference between the two methods. In the one case the farmer voluntarily enters into a con- tract, in the other he voluntarily does something with the knowledge that the Government on its part will do something. One is a contract, the other is a promise. The result is the same. I feel certain that a majority in both Houses of the Congress will heed the wishes of the farmers of the Na- tion in enacting crop surplus-control legislation. And it is my thought that legislation to that end ought to be passed at the earliest possible moment, Because the legislation was not passed at the last session it is too late for it to have any bearing on the Winter wheat which is now in the | ground.

Even after a bill is passed and be- comes law on the signature of the President, it takes a month or two before it is humanly possible to set up the machinery in all parts of the country to carry out the providings of the new law. If, therefore, new legislation is to affect the 1938 crops, haste seems to be importart from every angle. 1 am happy to come back to North Dakota, and I hope that the coming year will bring you still further along the road to prosperity.
