Predicts War Will
-
Injure US Farmers
A continuance of the war In
Europe will injure rather than
help American farmers. J. D.
Mickle. director of the state agri
cultural department, declared
here Thursday.
Other officials In widely scat
tered sections of the United
States had predicted that the war
would result in an unprecedented
demand for American agricultural
products with a corresponding in
crease in profits.
"Should the war continue for
a period of years many adjust
ments will hare to be made In our
domestic markets." Mickle said.
"Whatever the final answer may
be. we may rest assured that it
will not result in increased pro
fits to agricultural producers.
"It therefore behooves us to
tighten up our belts in the appli
cation of the old saying that
"forewarned is forearmed."
Mickle said the war had closed
European markets to the United
States, as far as agricultural
products are concerned, with the
result that these products will
have to go to an already over
stocked market at home.

tically all of the emergency appro
priations and authorizations rec
ommended by Mr. Roosevelt.
The naval bill Included f326,

for the acquisition of 2,970 planes
of which 2.S00 are to be of the
type need for training pilot. Of

Secretary Mer gen than, in
charge of coordinating airplane
production, reported that he was
obtaining agreements from pro
ducers and patent-holders to
spread the manufacture of fav
ored types of aircraft and aircraft
engines among numerous plants.
Attorneys for two large engine
companies were at the treasury
drawing up contracts which auth
orize the government to order
their particular types of engines
from other manufacturers.
Pooling of Patents
Declared Necewaary
After consulting leading: Indus
trialists, Secretary of Commerce
Hopkins told reporters that many
Industries may be required to
substitute a similar system of
pooled standardization for com
petition in order to prepare the
nation's economy for emergencies.
Morgenthaa announced the ap
pointment of Dr. George Jackson
Mead, vice chairman of the na
tional advisory committee for
aviation, at $10,000 a year, to
head a commission of army, navy
and civilian experts who will de
cide what types of planes and en
glnes should be produced. He
called Mead the greatest living
authority on airplane engines.
There were these other de
velopments in connection with
the defense situation:
(1) Attorney General Jackson
said President Roosevelt had pre
pared a plan many months ago
to meet "fifth column activities,
and added that J. Edgar Hoover's
bureau of Investigation would be
enlarged li necessary to cope
with such efforts. Jackson said
such activities could not be dealt
with on a local or voluntary or
ganization basis, but that citi
zens could be helpful by report
ing to the FBI "acts, threats or
evidence of sabotage, espionage
or other disloyal activities."
(2) Jesse Jones, chairman of
the RFC, asked congress for au
thority to transform his agency
into a "defense financing corpora
tion" if necessary, with authority
to make loans for the acqultition
of needed raw materials and plant
expansion and to provide industry
with working capitaL Use of the
authority might not become neces
sary, he said.
( 3 ) The business advisory
council of the department of com
merce beginning a two-day ses
sion largely devoted to defense
problems, was called to the White
House for a late afternoon confer
ence with President Roosevelt.
(4) Louis Klrsteln. Boston mer
chant, who was prominent among
those to whom the World war task
of providing uniforms for the
army was entrusted, discussed In
dustrial production problems with
Mr. Roosevelt.
(5) A special house committee
quickly and unanimously approved
the president's proposal that the
bureau of immigration be shifted
from the labor to the Justice de
partment, more closely to corre
late the control of aliens in the
country with the anti-espionage
and anti-sabotage activities of the
bureau of investigation.
(6) Several senators said that,
despite the gravity of the allied
crisis, they saw no disposition here
to extend any additional assist
ance. They pointed In corrobora
tion to the senate foreign rela
tions committee's rejection. 12 to
1, of a proposal that the allies be
sold planes and equipment already
delivered to the army and navy. .
(7) Senator Gillette CD-la)
suggested the creation of a
"League of Americans. Nations' to
provide closer cooperation. In con
nection with war events, than the
present "good neighbor policy"
has produced.

or other structure could be erect
ed with WPA funds If the total
cost exceeded $50,000 and that
the WPA contribution to non-federal
projects must be limited to
the same amount.
Mindful of reports of effective
ness of fifth columns abroad, the
members accepted without debate
an amendment by Representative
Walter (D, Pa.) to broaden the
prohibition against employment
of aliens to Include communists
and members of nazl bund groups.
A little later. Representative
Rich (R, Pa.) successfully spon
sored an amendment to Include
In the restrictions any person
who advocated the overthrow of
the government.
At the last minute, the house
brushed aside on a voice vote a
demand by Representative Taber
(R. NY) that the administration
of relief be turned over to the
states, counties, and municipali
ties and that the government
make grants-in-aid to them.

Favor Defense
Mott Amazed President Pat
off Plan Seren Years;
all .in Support
WASHINGTON, May 23.-V
Membexs of the congressional del
egations from the northwest states
put their shoulders behind a pro
gram of adequate preparedness for
national defense and were aiding
In pushing it toward an early com
pletion. Senator McNary, (R-Ore), mi
nority leader of the senate, de
clared "Everybody Is of one mind
to keep out of this conflict.
"On the other hand. he said,
we want to prepare ourselves for
defense against foreign aggres
sion. Senators Clark (D-Idaho),
Thomas (R-Idaho). Bone and
SchweUenbach, Washington dem
ocrats, and King and Thomas,
Utah democrats, all have favored
a program of complete prepared
ness for national defense and of
keeping out of foreign wars.
Senator Bone, who a few days
ago advocated building "a ring
of steel" around the western
hemisphere, told the senate a
few days later national defense
"is and should be, a national
function, not to be committed to
the tender mercies of private in
dividuals who for aome reason,
obscure or otherwise, made such
a wretched showing In preparing
us for national defense In the
critical period of the World war."
Rep. Mott (R, Ore.) said 12.
000,000 In the naval air defense
bill would about double the fa
cilities of the Tongue point naval
station.
"The program of defense,"
Mott said, "is Just what the house
military and naval committees
have sought for years. The amaz
ing thing about It is that the
president should have put It off
seven years. I am strongly for
the program and sorry we didn't
have it years ago."
Rep. Pierce (D, Ore.) said he
always had advocated strong na
tional defense and believed it
should be completed as soon as
possible, while Rep. Angell (R,
Ore.) said he was strongly ad
vocating building up national de
fense, especially air defense, anti
aircraft guns and shore defenses
but was not in favor of interven
ing in any foreign war.

Gennsn guns. The German army
stands where It never stood before.-
- . - .
To the west, the government
admitted It was "alive to the pos
sibilities' of an invasion of Bri
tain through Ireland.
At home the government struck
quickly- and decisively against
possible "fifth column" threats.
Numerous raids and arrests were
made. Sir Oswald Mosely, British
fascist leader, and Captain Archi
bald Ramsey, conservative mem
ber of parliament were , among
those arrested.
Mosely's "Uritlsh anion" waa

and country houses raided, and
his lieutenants imprisoned in the
Interests of security.
Parliament decreed the death
penalty for traitors.
Newspapers and afreet conver
sations alike reflected a feeling of
tensity and frustration not evident
since the Germans swept toward
Paris in the World war.
A tendency to accept a theory
that the arovernment is gravely
worried and might be announcing
less than it knows marked the
gloom for the average citizen.
The most immadiate threat ap
peared to be across the channel,
where German officers on the hills
above Boulogne trained their
glasses on the white cliffs of Eng
land. All reports Indicated the nazl
Iron cavalry Is smashing Its way
with precision through the thinned

Behind the German advance le

cars are reported leading long
gray columns through the gap at
Audenards toward Ostend and
Seebrugge, also vital channel
ports.
Earlier today when the peril of
the hour attained the highest
pitch in English history. Prime
Minister Churchill, sombre and
grave, told a silent house of com
mons that hope for Britain's cor
nered army rests with the counter
attack that General Maxlme Wey
gand, allied chief is preparing
with French divisions along the
Alsne river.
"It is too early yet to say what
the results of this coastal fighting
may be," said Churchill in the
shortest message he has yet given
on the war situation, "but It evi
dently carries with it implications
of a serious character."
