U. S. he Declares
. By VICTOR T. HACKLE R
t MADISON. Wis.. Dec. 6 CAP),
To the question of wha,t lus-
- sla hish speed arrlcultoral de-
. velopment will meant to the Unit-j
ed States, & young American scH
- entlst offers an answer based on
; , nine months inspection of. Sorlet
-' - "Our exports in the fature will
have to. he of special high grade
Qualities on a limited scale."
Dr.: J, - O.: Dickson of the Uni-;
rerslty of Wisconsin Is the scien
tist, just retained from a trip
sponsored br the United States
department of agriculture to stu
dy cereal diseases.
He emphasized that' his riews
were purely personal and in no
way . connected . with his gorern-
ment mission. Then be went on
to describe a nation stirred by
aparrelled mass enthusiasm,
making "tremendous, almost fab
ulous" progress In an agricultur
al way and speeding up produc-
xlVt "Jry'Xi'tL1?,
ether nations.
Few Hotels Found on
Junket In Russia
"I was treated well by Sorlet
officials," Dr. Dickson said, "and
permitted to go whererer I pleas-
et. . There ar no hotels or other
accommodations In most places,
howerer, so what I really did was
tramp around the country almost
like a bum. I carried by bed on
my back."
The young scientist eorered
enough ground, bowerer, and saw
enough of the huge trust and col
lective t ansa to be conTlnced that
Russia can prod ace wheat in such
a manner to undersell any nation
with standards of liTlng such as
those In this country.
. The essential factor In'lhe So
viet . agricultural " program is
haste. Dr. Dickson said. There Is
no time under the "fire year
plan for small experiments to try
ut rarious types, to see what
10II is best adapted to certain
grains. Thousands of acres are
planted in crops never known to
the committees before.
I saw southern Illinois soy
baans and North , Dakota corn
'grown In the same .area," Dr.
Dickson said. "I saw 320,000
acres of cotton growing in clima
tic conditions similar to southern
Illinois." .
Phenomenal" Resnlte Made
In Year Now Past '-
The results of the high speed,
mechanised production, aided by
unusually favorable weather the
past season were described
phenomenal."
Dr. Dickson estimated the
wheat Jleld at 1.180,000,000
bushels adding "and remember l
they grow only four TarieUes.
Barley production reached a pre
war basis, r he said, while cotton
and soy beans were grown , "in
proportions the country never
heard of before."

which claims all land as a natur

, maintained with wage' earners
getting time and a half pay for
- overtime (after 4:30 p.m.) and
' working only five days a week. .
The price of grain is set before
-vjkhe growing season by a commit-
tee composed of the directors of
the large farms. This year the
. payment In paper rubles manu
factured at virtually, no' cost to
the government, corresponded to
. about 95 cents a bushel for wheat.

Move to cut out Poison in
Industrial Alcohol is
Defeated, 106-54
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 (AP)
Stimulated by November elec
tion results, the house wet bloe
made a determined antl-prohlbl-tlon
drive today and before retir
ing in defeat registered the
strongest assault of recent years
against government poisoning of
Industrial alcohol.
.The house vote against the
amendment of Representative
Unthlcnm. democrat, Maryland,
to prohibit funds of the treasury
postofflee supply bill from being
spent in poisoning alcohol, was
10 S to 5f, but the wet bioe lead
er received double last year's sup
port of the same amendment. On
a second attempt, however, . late
in the day, hie was able to muster
only 3 votes for his proposal.
The -wets fared worse on a pro
posal of Representative O'Connor,
democrat. New York, to forbid
using any of t32.897.000 coast
guard- appropriation in dry "'law
work which was lost 108 to 22
both were standing votes.
From prohibitionist. Repre
sentative Blanton. democrat, Tex
as, came the major wet victory In
a day of tumult. Blanton raised
a point of order against an alloca
tion of $10,000 far-educational
work in behalf of prohibition en
forcement and the sum was struck
from the bill.
Numerous other wet proposals
came from both sides of the aisle
to join the Linthicum and O'Con
nor amendments in defeat. . '

By FRANK KING
. LONDON, Dec. 5. (AP)
Considerable fog from, the Brit
ish -. political ; atmosphere w:
cleared away . today by David
Lloyd George,, who outlined cer
tain conditions under which ., a
general election may be avoided
for ten more years. ? -
r In a speech at the national
liberal club he' showered pictur
esque7 epigrams-' and. , trenchant
criticism alike at Ramsey Mac-
Donald's 7 labor government: and
Stanley Baldwin's conservative
opposition and also took a few
sly Jabs at the United States.
He made It evident his hand
ful of liberal followers In the
house -of commons, who can
vote the labor government out of
office any day, would have done
so long ago but for the fact the
conservatives are pledged to pro
tective tariff reform.
Epigrams Sparkle in
Speech of old Leader
"The to lies want a free hand
In the national cupboard," he
said, "our business Is to keep
the tariff mice away from the
people's bread."
He also assailed the American
debt settlement made by the for
mer Baldwin government, saying
the "mischief of that settlement
continued to spread.
"we are lassoed fast by Amer
ican finance," he asserted. "We
are only beginning to realise
what that terrible debt settle
ment means. That gold stand'
ard settlement was premature
and 111 thought out. We have
been dragged over the course by
the wild horses of Wall street." -
He termed the labor govern
ment "an acknowledged failure".
"Britain Is : between the devil
and' the deep : sea," he went on.
"Our only practical choice Is be
tween the labor party, .whose
avowed doctrine is socialism, and
the conservative party, which Is
ready to plunge heedlessly, into
a vortex of fiscal revolution. - It
is a sorry -choice."
x With the alternative at hand.
he said, the laborites cannot be
given another chance - and , be
Judged from day to day. until
that .tjtlme when the electorate
can be prevailed upon , to trust

ernment, -

IN SHROUD OF FOB
64 Deaths in Horrible '3-
- Day Tragedy Which '
Scares Brussels
BRUSSELS. Belgium, Dec. B.
(AP) A mysterious poison
fog blanketing the Meuse valley
in Belgium or three days, has
terrified the countryside and al
ready caused 04 deaths. Many
domestic animals also have fall
en as victims.
For 72 hours an extremely
heavy fog has hung over the val
ley, and peasants groping their
way through the dense clouds
of mist have died in sudden and
horrible asphyxiation.
At first it was believed
the
casualties were caused by
the
choking mists aggravating
splratory complaints, but
magnlture of the epidemic
has
brought fears poison gas is re
sponsible.
It is known that great Quanti
ties of German war material are
burled around Liege, where most
of the fatalities . have occurred.
and some persons believe this re
sponsible. Others lay the trou
ble to -some, noxious by-product
of an Industrial works which has
mixed, with the fog and drifted
slowly down the air currents of
the valley. Still others believed
a secret store of poison gas has
been loosed in some manner.
Authorities Work Frantically
To Determine Exact Cause
Authorities are working fran
tically to determine the exact
cause.
Panle has seised the villagers
of the region, who have fled to
their houses and In many cases
have packed In the livestock to
save . the animals from the un
seen, but deadly threat.
The Tillage of Engis appears
the center of the extraordinary
epidemic. Fourteen deaths are
reported there.
Among the other fatalities re
ported are eight at Flamalle
Haute, four at Flamalle- Grande,
five at Yvoy-Ramet, ten at Je-
meppe-Sur-Meuse, and seven at
Othee.
Most of the terrified Inhabi
tants are convinced that burled
stores of German war gas, rem
nants of the supply dumps con
centrated In this area during the
World war, are responsible. The
victims have died just as did sol
diers without gas masks in the
war.

In-case a' way can' be found

against unemployment in Oregon
and apportion a large amount of
Its funds for the Improvement of
county and market roads In coop
eration with the. county, courts,
' This was indicated ; by H. B.
VanDuier, chairman of the state
highway, commission. , at a meet
ing called here Friday by Gover
nor Norbiad to organize a state
labor . employment commission
The commission Is composed of
Governor Norbiad. Mr. VanDuzer
ana u. ti. uram, state laoor com
missioner. Mr. VanDuzer will act
as chairman of the labor commis
sion. -
Mr. VanDuzer declared at the
outset of the meeting that the un
employment situation in Oregon
was serious and that no Improve
ment in conditions could be ex
pected, before next-March. .
Duty of State to Give
Work," Says VanDuzer
"There are a large number or
worthy men out of employment
at the present time,"" said Mr.
VanDuzer, "and It Is the duty of
the state of Oregon to go the lim
it in providing; them work. Al
though I am not speaking for oth
er members of the state highway
commission. I believe they will
Join In any plan that will help to
provide . necessities for persons
who are without employment."
VanDuzer declared that the
best results would be obtained by
providing state highway funds for
the improvement of county and
market roads. He said - such
plan would provide employment
In every county in Oregon, while
a speeding up ef work on the
state highways would confine em
ployment to a few of the more fa
vored sections of the state. Mr.
VanDuzer emphasized the state
ment that much of the work on
State highways already had been
advanced, and that more men
were at work In state construc

ever before. j.
Lessened Efficiency Likely

"I fully realize that the state

Duzer, "and it is probable that a
considerable amount of money
would be wasted. But be that as
