ON FARM WAGES
LONDON (UP) English firmer
re being fined n average 120 apiece
for not paying full "legal wagea" to
farm worXera they employed.
Wagea of farm workers In England
and Wales are fixed once a year In
eacn county by an "sericulture
wagea board" made up of an equal
number of farmers and of farm
workera. plu a handful of "Impartial
persons" appointed by the ministry
of agriculture In London. When the
wagea for the oirlerent classes of
agricultural laborers have been fixed,
they are sent to the "agricultural
wagea board" In London, which ap
prove or dissent. Wages vary In the
different counties, and the board
tries to see that the variations are
not excessive.
Then placards In big type are
printed containing the wage rates for
the county and are posted In every
post office tn the county. At the
bottom. In the biggest type of all,
Is the name and address of the local
"Inspector of agricultural wages,
with an invitation to aend him any
information regarding alleged vlola
tlona of the wage scale. There are
alao periodic advertisements of the
rates In the local press.
And not only this, but the farmer
Is required to keep a full record In
book of the wagea he pays and
the local Inspector haa the right to
demand the production of this book
at any time.
It sounds like a law with "teeth
In It, but experts on English farm
ing condltlona declare that hundreds
and bundreda of farm workera are
cheated every year.
The cheating, It Is alleged, takes
two forms. An agricultural laborer
may be hired to do one sort of work
at a low rate and be coerced Into
accepting (he same rate for work In
a higher classification. Or he may
b forced by economic necessity to
accept the farmer's suggestion that
be sign the wages book at the legal
rate while actually receiving several
ahllllngs a week lesa.
TU chief complaint la that the
agricultural wagea board haa only a
few Inspectors to cover the 62 coun
ties of England and Wales and check
Up the wage relations of 380,000
formers and 715.000 workera.
There la a perlodlo agitation In
parliament to get the number ln-

The mercury shot upward yester

of 70 degrees for the day. This was
only one a-rree below the 80 mark
recorded on March 0 and 10, 1934, a
maximum that remains an all-time
peak for early-season warmth.
At noon today the temperetuxe
stood at 67 aa against 63 at the same

100 MUCH STRESS
PUT ON VITAMINS
SAYS DISCOVERER
LONDON. (UP) The man who
dlsoovered vitamins, Sir Frederick
Oowland Hopkins, criticizes people
who pay too much attention to vita
mins.
Sir Frederick says a large propor
tion of the prospective ermy recrulta
rejected a unfit Buffered from de
fect which might well be due to
faulty nutrition In childhood or adol-
eacenoe. In a considerable proportion
It almost certainly contributed to
their unfitness.
"The public." he said "Is rapidly
assimilating, though not always to
It profit, the fact that a fault in
quality of food may be a deleterious
aa a failure In supply. Indeed, one
section of the public i o perverse In
Its views concerning food thst It la
almost necessary to remind It that
quantity still counts.
"We oannot live on vitamins lone.
"A more Intelligent section of the
public aeoma to assume that so much
scientific talk about food may lead to
lndlvlduala being dragooned regard
ing what they ahall or shall not eat.
It la unthinkable that tne:e ahould
b any such dragooning. The Intelli
gent public will learn to apply the
new knowledge of nutrition without
dlscomMt to Itself.
"I am tempted to add that what
the English housewife needs most to
be taught la -tha rt of tlmple but
gocd conking. In thla co mtry more
than ptubapa In any othc, 1 good
food ruined and It nutritional valu
Impairs! by unintelligent treatment
In the oome."

TITHE IS SOUGHT
BY GREAT BRITAIN
ON TSARIST DEBT
LONDON (UP) British private
creditors of Tsarist Rusala will bo re
imbursed to ths extent of 10 per
cent of their $1,250,000,000 claim. If
plana reported aa now under consid
eration by tha British government
materialize.
A majority of the creditors arc
holden of bonds of companies which
owned railroads before the Russian
revolution. Others possess Russian
municipal bonds.
The plan to pay to creditors 10 per
cent on their claims depends upon
the fste of the proposed British loan
to the Soviet government. Moscow,
however. Insists that part satisfac
tion of British creditors shall In no
way be connected directly with the
proposed loan and must not Involve
Soviet recognition of demands of
creditors of the Tsarist regime.
In the face of this, It Is proposed
that the British government Itself
pay 9126,000,000 to these creditors.
Financing of the project, as contem
plated, would be to grant a loan to
the Soviet of from $100,000,000 to
$200,000,000. The Interest fate, not
definitely fixed, would not exceed 6
per cent. '
In return for this loan it la pro
posed that the Soviet renounce Its
claim to $6,0000.000 to $75,000,000
which belonged to the TsarlBt royal
house and which was deposited In
British banks. One London finan
cial house holds $35,000,000, and an
other $40,000,000 is distributed
among other London banks. There
Is an Informal understanding be
tween Oreat Britain and the Soviet
that this money may be disposed of
only with the consent of both gov
ernments. 'J
Besides acquiring - these millions
for the twofold purpose of financing
a loan to Moscow and giving 1 per
cent compensation to British credi
tors of the Tsarist regime, the British
treasury would float a public loan
Internally, probably at 2 per cent.
If the Soviet government pays 5 per
cent Interest, the difference could be
applied to creditors' claims.
These proposals are still in their
formative stages here. It Is learned,
and have not been the subject- of
Joint governmental discussion. Mos
cow is known to be reluctant to per
mit any explicit reference to Tsarist
debts. The Soviet government's ob
jection is based on a precedent that
might be established that would per
mit American, German and French
creditors to press their claims.
It is recalled that In 1824 the
Soviet ambassador to London, Chris
tian Ravovsky, offered to satisfy
British claims to the extent of 20 per
cent. The government declined.
