BATTLE LOOMS
H OTi FARM BILL
Action to be Held up While
' Nation's Sentiment is
Carefully Sounded
F. D. R.'s Pledge to Suspend
.Parity Plan if it Fails,
v Argument for Proposal
a
WASHINGTON, March IT
I At j congressional action on
President Roosevelt's farm relief
program was postponed until next
week as a movement for revision
of some of its most drastic provi
sions today reached proportions
that forecast a bitter legislative
battle.
There was a strong sentiment
to . heed the chief executive s plea
for "a trial" of the most com'
plicated of his four proposals for
emergency actios. Bet likewise
there was a persistent disposi
tion to delay action until the re
actions of producers and proces
sors may be measured.
Agricultural committees of
both senate and house studied
the measure which would place
In the hands of Secretary Wal
lace authority to apply the pro
visions of different relief plans
to nine farm commodities cot
ton, wheat, corn, hogs, cattle,
sheep, tobacco, rice, milk and Its
products.
The movement to revise the
measure was most apparent In
the senate, where chief criticism
centered about the bill's provi
sion authorizing the secretary of
agriculture to require licenses
from all processors and handlers
of these commodities.
One of the strongest factors In
providing support for the bill was
the president's pledge to stop Its
operation if it appeared to be a
failure and his statement that if
it failed he "would be the first
to acknowledge it."
Many members of congress said
this was a definite acceptance of
complete responsibility for the. ex
periment the most elaborate ef
fort to find a soUUoo. for-longstanding
farm problems -ever ap
proved by a chief executive.
Consumer Borden Put
By Wallace at $800,000,000
Stronr interest attached to a
statement reported to have been
made by Wallace before the sen
ate committee in which he esti
mated that "the burden to be
borne by the consumers would be
-about 8800.000.000."
Because provisions of the bill
are so broad, this was taken tn
torn auarters to indicate the
trend of the administration's plan
for administering the act. Some
opponents have asserted its pro
visions for processing taxes might

War Between Japan,
U. S. Held 'Act of
Madness
Del egate to League Says American People
Have Condoned Chinese Faults and
, Magnified Japan's Hostility
LONDON, March 17. ( AP)
Japanese delegate at recent
at which the Sino-Japanese conflict was considered, declared
today before his departure for America that war between
the United States and Japan "would be an act of madness."
Mr. Matsuoka, who will pass through the United States
on his way to Tokyo, asserted O
Americans have "condoned the
fault of Chinese misgoversment
and magnified those of Japanese
good government"
"The United States and Japan
have an Important mission to ful
fill for the sake of humanity in
building up the coming era of Pa
cific civilization, in which the east
and west will unite in peace for
the first time in history' the Jap
anese diplomat said in an inter
view. "Understanding and friend
ship between these two advanced
countries is essential to the wel
fare of all the Pacific. It will be
of benefit not only to ourselves
but to others as well, and particu
larly to the people of China.
Japanese Says His
Country Friend to China
"Parsdoxlcal as the statement
may seem at the present time,
Japan is and must continue to be
a friend of China. To the United
States, friendship for the colossal
country across the Pacifc is large
ly a matter of sentiment; you have

HUGE BOLD FLOW TO

WASHINGTON. March 17.
AP) A new gold rush, brought
on by the anti-hoarding act, has
poured a stream of the precious
metal valued at $327,000,000 in
to the federal reserve banks since
they reopened.
The deadline came at 2 p. m.
today. Orders have gone out to
all federal reserve banks to send
in the names of persons who, dur
ing the two years prior to last
March t, drew out gold sufficient
to be classed for hoarding and
failed to return it.
Federal financial officials have
not yet decided what disposition
will be made of the names sent in
by the member banks. It has
been hinted, however, that with
such a list in hand the treasury
could either publish the list,
pointing to those named as hoard
ers, or turn over the list to the
department of Justice under the
anti-hoarding act. Regulations
have yet to be drawn as to what
Is considered hoarding.
Administration officials were
pleased today at a treasury com
pilation showing that "money in
circulation" had shrunk by $269,-
000,000. This indicated a de
crease in hoarding, since money
in circulation" Is that which can
not be accounted for by the gov
ernment and Its banking agencies

night that she has separated
from her husband, Douglas Fair

separation followed the filing of
a $60,000 stolen love suit by
Jorgen Diets against Fairbanks
yesterday.
Miss Crawford made it plain
that divorce proceedings were
not contemplated and insisted
that "these damage actions have
nothing to do with it."
Diets accused Fairbanks of
stealing the affections of Solveig

false Imprisonment in an inves

was precipitated when Diets and
a woman, known to him as Mrs.
Curtis, tried to sell him a dia
