PAflE ETOTTT SrEPFORD MAIL TRIBUTE, MEDFORD. OREGON", WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1932. PRE-WAR PARITY IS Fundamental Farm Relief Principles Submitted to House Committee by Agriculture Spokesman WASHINGTON, Dec 14, (AP) A unanimous agreement on fundamen tal farm relief principles closely ap proximating the domestic allotment bill prepared by Chairman Jonas was submitted to the house agriculture couunlttee today by spokesmen lor national farm and commodity organ isations. The agreement, reached at a pro longed conference held here, was out lined to the committee by Frederick T. Lee, attorney for the farm lead ers. Principles Cited Utter a crowded committee room. Let named major principles on which ths farm groups desire legislation be founded. Thsy are: "That the legislation In question should be administered by the de partment of agriculture. "That It should cover four baslo commodities wheat, cotton, tobacco and hogs. "That the legislation should be framed to the end of giving agricul tural commodities their pre-war par ity with other commodities, that Is, the same purchasing power as agri cultural commodities enjoyed be tween 1909 and 1014." On the problem presented by wheat, cotton and tobacco, Lee said the farm leaders recommended: Would Be Paid Difference "That the produce be paid the dif ference between the world price and that which would be obtainable on the basis of the pre-war parity. This should be subject to two limitations: "First, they should be paid the difference only on domestlo con sumption: second, no payments should be made unless there should be a '30 per cent reduction In acre age. "We recommend that on the first year there should be no contract but that the first of these limitations should be placed on the farmer, who would make his statement before notary publle. For the year 1984, we would have Vie secretary of agricul ture. If he finds It preferable, to re quire contracts. Whereas we would have a mandatory 30 per oent re duction In 193S, for 193' the question of reduction would be left with the administrative officer. Operate Automatically "We would have no time limit on operation of the bill, but would have It operate automatically when prices are below the pre-war parity and stop when that parity exists. "We would make the payments through benefit certificates. To pre vent even a temporary drain on the treasury we would provide for pay ment of Vie first half of the face value of the certificates within 80 days after Issue and the other halt six months later. "We recommend a tax on process ing In the equivalent amount of the benefit to be paid."

PLAN TO RESORE 10 WRITE LETTERS FOB LI SALE OF SEALS The national commander of the American Legion, Louis A. Johnson, endorses the sale of Christmas Seals now being conducted by the tuber culosis associations throughout the nation, and urges continuation of the campaign against disease which Is financed by seal sale receipts, In a statement received today by Mrs.. Saldl Orr Dunbar, executive secre tary of the Oregon Tuberculosis asso datlon. "In these days of depression, the efforts against tuberculosis must not be lessened," says Mr. Johnson. "As a nation, we are stll profiting from the cumulated efforts of the anti tuberculosis movement of prior years. The machinery for the control and prevention of tuberculosis, including clinics, ssnltorlums, open air schools, medical and nursing services, and re search and educational activities, Is still functioning today at practically full efficiency. This winter will be hard fight for many and will bring Increased threats to the hard-earned gains In the war against tubercu losis." "Legion posts and auxiliaries throughout Oregon are cooperating in the seal sals as thsy always have In our clinics, publle health nursing services, and health education work during the year," Mrs. Dunbar said. "This statement by the national com mander Is most genuinely appreciated." BELIEVES WOCKNER HAD KEYTO CUFFS In the opinion of Sheriff Ralph O. Jennings, Warren Wockner, 38, Burlng his stay In Via county Jail, had In his possession a handcuff key, or knew a confederate would pass him one, to enable him to es cape last Saturday from the custody of an Illinois deputy, who was re turning him to Wssteka, 111., to face trial on a kidnaping charge. Wock ner was arrested In the Trail dis trict two weeks ago, and during stay In the oounty Jail confidently boast ed he would escspe. Sheriff Jennings thinks that Wockner might hsve had a key con cealed In his clothing, or elsewhere, even before his arrest as a precaution against the dsy of capture, or that his friends may have passed him one, while en route to the midwest. Ho traoe has been found since Wockner fled.

IS IVE SPOKANE, Wash., Deo. 14. (AP) The North Paclflo Grain Growers, Inc., will not participate in the pro posed reconstruction flnanco corpo ration's credit sale of 6.000,000 bush els of wheat to the Chinese nation alist government. This announcement was made last night after two days of discussion behind closed doors. The North Pa clflo directors agreed that pooling contracts made with fanners weeks ! ago when a 15.000,000 bushel credit sale was pending were cancelled af ter the R. P. C. dropped negotia tions, and It would be Impossible to make new contracts; that a 6,800,000 bushel sale would not reduce the northwest's surplus of about 37,000,- 000 bushels to make the deal worth while, and that the reduced price of grain doe not warrant the North Paclflo In giving notes to secure the sale. SALEM TEMPERATURE LEAVES LOW LEVELS SALEM, Deo, 14. The temper ature reached an above free sing point here yesterdey for the first time In a week, 88 being the high mark. The minimum of 11 above was recorded this morning. Just as every crisis In world history brings forth a man to meet It, so does every period of economic stress bring forth a book. The present de pression Is no exception and will prob ably produce many authors, but among tha first to respond to Its stimulus Is George Schumacher, Ph. D., of this city. He has compiled a volume aimed to bring "order out of chaos," snd to "end the despot gold and his executioner, credit," snd get the old world back on a normal basis. His book will soon be off the press and la celled "Value, Wealth, Money and Finance of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow." The book Is being published by the Siskiyou Publishing compsny of Medford and pamphlets announcing Its coming, hsve been prepsred in 10 languages and an now being sent out by the author. The pamphlets list some or tne lesdlng reoommendatlons set forth In the book to end the present eco nomic condition of the world snd one of them Is the formation of three new states, to bs known at "League of Nation States." The first would consist of ths pres ent provinces of Alsace and Lor raine, the second would Include the nresent Corridor. Esst Prussia ana nert of Poland, and the third would be composed of Manchuria, according to Dr. Schumacher's plan. The book Is In ths form of an ap peal to the League of Nations, the nresa of the world, the bankers 'of ths world and the people in general, Dr. Schumacher states, and points out that "no values can be created by Interest on money, unless some one, somewhere, sometime has pro duced enough commodities to create the values needed to pay tne in trest." The pamphlet leads with the sug gestion that an International cur rency based on existing bond Issues bs created for the Improvement of economlo conditions throughout ths world. Ths crestion of the three new states. Dr. Schumacher advocates In the belief that they would promote more peaceful conditions In Europe and Asia. Tn International currency, ao- to Dr. Schumacher's Plan, would become legal tender In all countries and "must be used for sll payments on International trade. tvM eiutom dues, salaries in au ,t.M and for suDDlles bought by all governments, and no checks or otner mode of payments snsu do usvu, order that all currency shall remain i-uri continu ously. "All payments for frelSht on land and sea would aiso do maue w,w tvin international currency." hi. hook will be available Whole sale and retail in Germany through Albert Stlchtenoth Nachfoiger Bucn- handlung, Wolfenbuettel and will be available as long as ths supply lasts In the following additional languages from the author: German, rrencn, Swedish, Italian, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese.
