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."

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.

"Christmas Means to Me" as the con
test being held by the Veterans of
Foreign Wars and Auxiliary will not

ters should be mailed or taken to

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."
