Revnlimtimi Of
Uy Fnink I. IVeller
(AssocintDd Press Farm Editor) .
WASHINGTON (JP) It bftcnmra
increasingly apparent both political
cou vent-ions tins summer may he ask
ed to write into their platforms a
plank for reform, . of the- country's
monetary system.
' Edward A. O'Neal, president of the
American farm bureau federation,
which, with the National Grange- and
the Farmers' Union, is demanding re
turn of what ho terms the "honest
dollar." nays that if congress does not
"fulfill its constitutional obligation"
to regulate tho value of money the
farm groups will "go before the na
tion on this grenfc issue."
Tho "honest dollar" is a gold
standard dollnr, but ono sufficiently
deflated to bear tho same relation to
commodity values as existed In tho
period 19B1-2R. . Bills extant prouose
the federal reserve board be instruct
ed to chango tho quantity or gold in
tho dollar until ita purchasing power
is no .greater than the index price
level 'Of the moro than 700 major
commodities.
Indirectly. ; tho process would be
ono of commodity inflation sinco it
would increase- the number of dollars
that could bo bought with a given
quantity or any commodity.
It Is because more wheat and more
cotton and more cnttlo are -required
in exchange for the same number of
dollars that organized agriculture in
sists on a revaluation of money based
on the 1026 l?vel of farm prices and
the dollar stabilized at that point.
If that were done commodity ond
money values henceforth would Mue
,111010 in direct ratio and corn or pig
price level and the revised Goids-
I borough bill which embodies elements
ot the old mimseyer. Strong. Koller,
Burtnem and Goldsborough bills call
ing for restoration of ths pre-defla-tion
commodity price level.
They aro strongly opposed ln power

Wagner ond the bulletin said police
departments in other states were fol
lowing their movements.
A statement last night, author
Iced by Col. Lindbergh, said:- : 1
"At the time the baby was kidnaped
a ransom note for $50,000 was left in
the nursery. For obvious reasons It
was neces5ary to withhold Informa
tlon concerning the ransom note.
"A means was offered in the ran
scm note of positive Identification of
the kidnapers thereafter. Subsequent
notes received were Identified by thU
means and at the time the ransom
was paid over the kidnapers used
the same means to positively Iden
tify themselves as tho ones who car
ried off the baby.
"This is the only means by Which
Colonel Lindbergh can know for a
fact that he is dealing with the kld-
nnpers. It has been withheld and
will be withheld by Colonel Llnd-
, bergh for future Identification.
I "It must be remembered that the
baby has net been returned and It
' hs3 been' ana still is the- policy of
' the state police authorities that the
prlmarv motive is to accomplish the
'-. safe return of the baby and all ef-
! forts are and will be ueni; 111 "

of Dr: John P. Condon Sr., teacher
and -welfare worker who has been
identified os the author of the
"Jafsle" advertisements which have
appeared in New York papers. The
"Jafsle1" advertlsments have been
used ln an effort to negotiate with
tho -abductor.- ' '

"What Is wrong? Have you crossed
me? Please better directions." It
was signed "Jafsle." ' 1

Condon, who plckcdUhc signature
"Jafsle" because It sounds like his

He Indicated that! the spot designated
for the return was off Martha's Vine
yard, Mass.,1 and he pointed out that
the waters there were alive vlth coast
guard and rum running boats at the
time set for the return. ' He was not
surprised; he said; that the kidnapers
deellned-to- risk being caught.'' :
The- three -Norfolk, Va;, -"Intermediaries"
who have believed themselves
in contact with the' kidnapers, said
they -were "amazed" at the turn developments-had
taken. They said
they -had no knowledge ln-' advance
that the colonel was negotiating with
the men to vhdm the ransom was
paid. John H. Curtis, ono of the
"intermedlarles,"'left Norfolk by haval
piano yesterday ostensibly to confer
again- with Col. Lindbergh at Hope
well. It was Indicated, however, that
he might also'attempt to renew con
tact with the persons with -whom he.
and "his "two' Norfolk-associates have
been - conducting ' negotiations.
''The New Y6rlfi-"' Dally1 News;''" the
