Chicago, Nov. 27. P) The
National Grange announced to
day a 14-point "platform for
agriculture which National
Master Louis Tabcr said was
"one behind which every group
of farmers and Americans could
rally to solve the problems of
agriculture.
The platform, drafted by the
executive committee after the
Grange's recent convention in
Peoria, 111., outlined these prob
lems: 1 Give to agriculture its
fair share of the national In
come so that it may be raised
to equality with other groups.
2 Insist that the farm pro
gram be administered by farm
ers, with compensatory pay
ments to tide them over the
emergency while farm prices
are below parity; all payments
to be made in the year earned,
not contingent upon compliance
in future years, and not to be
used as a means toward com
pulsory crop control.
3 Speed national recovery
by taking the shackles off busi
ness, by increasing employment
. and reducing the relief burden.
4 Recognize as fundamental
the right of the American form
ers to the American market up
to the limit of his ability to
supply it.
S Close the doors to Imports
of foreign farm products which
are injuries to American agri
culture, and which help to re
duce its purchasing power, by
(a) divorcing foreign trade from
politics.
G Keep America out of for
eign wars by building and main
taining adequate national de
fense; conscripting wealth and
Industry as well as man-power
in time of war; remaining free
from entangling foreign alli
ances; recognizing that war may
bring dictatorial powers of gov
ernment which may mean the
end of democracy and Indi
vidual liberty.
7 Develop a sound rural
credit program by (a) estab
lishing the farm credit admin
istration as an independent
agency under supervision of a
bi-partisan board.
8 Recognize that adequate
transportation facilities are in
dispensable to the welfare of
the nation. Railroad regula
tion should be liberalized.
9 Base tradition on benefits
received and ability to pay, and
insist upon ecenomy and effici
ency in all branches of gov
ernment. 10 Develop better markets
for farm products by encourag
ing sound cooperative market
ing; removing unnecessary trade
barriers between states; oppos
ing discriminatory and punitive
taxation on any form of distri
bution; research to find new
crops and new use for farm
products.
11 Maintain the famlly-sizcd
farm as the standard of Ameri
can agriculture and discourage
large-sized corporation farming.
12 Continue soil conserva
tion as a part of a permanent
program for better use of land,
but not as a means of crop
control.
13 Promote a belter and
more satisfactory rural life
through development of edu
cational facilites, good roads
and rural electrification.
14 Foster the American
spirit of self-help in solving our
problems.

Senator Krazier (R.-N.D.) said
Senator MrNnry (It Ore l would
receive strong support from
agricultural states if he divided
to actively seek the Republican
presidential nominal Inn.
"Senator McNary has shown
the most interest in agriculture
of any of those who appear
likely now to be presidential
candidates," Frazier said in an
Interview. "That's what I'm in
terested In."
"Senator McNary has been a
staunch supporter of agriculture
throughout his career in con
gress. If the McNnry-llaugen
bill had become law in the
Cool id ge administration the!
farm situation would have bien
far better tlinn it Is today.
"Senator McNnry would be
strong throughout the middle
west and the west, In my
opinion."
Frazier said he believed Sen

other Republican presidential
possibility, also could command
considerable support in agri
cultural states.

BUSINESS UPTURN
BASED UPON WAR
BUYING 'UNSOUND'
Detroit, Nov. 27. (IP) E. T.
Weir, steel producer, today de
scribed the current business up
turn as unsound and declared
permanent recovery was prc-i
mntrtA tirnjAmmnnt enonrlini'
and the effect of new deal
"theories" on business.
The present hign level of busi
ness activity, the chairman of
the National Steel Corporation
said in an address prepared for
the Economic club of Detroit,
has resulted largely from antici
pation of war buying from Eur
ope. Permanent recovery, he said,
depends upon sustained high
volume of private investment in
productive enterprise, and low
profits in recent years have cut
off this investment, lie asserted
heavy taxation and the disrup
tion of business by new regula
tion and controls of government
were responsible for low profits
and business losses.
He declared the "new deal
master minds are concentrating
on ways and means to increase
the national income" in an effort
to avoid increasing taxes in an
election year to avoid curtailing
expenditures.
For that reason, ho said, "ex
periments are being soft
pedaled; mysterious submarines
have taken the place of economic
royalists as threats to the na
tional welfare, and according to
Washington observers, plans are
being made to give business 'a
Ihot in the arm' if there is any
sign of contraction in the rate of
business activity."
TRADE AGREEMENT
TREATIES RAPPED
Washington, Nov. 27. (IP)
A bitter denunciation of the
whole reciprocal trade agree
ments program was heard to
day by the committee for re
ciprocity information as it open
ed hearings on a proposed trade
pad with Chile.
Senator Johnson (D., Colo.)
told the committee that because
of the "most favored nation"
principle incorporated in the
trade agreements act requiring
concessions granted one nation
to be extended automatically to
every other nation, the law
amounted to nothing more than
"an insidious formula for break
ing down our tariff walls."
"If the Smoot llawley tariff
act of l!):tO needs overhauling,"
said Johnson, "it should be done
directly in a constitutional way
by the congress and not through
a sniping process under the
guise of good neighborliness."
SUB-POSTOFFICE

Postmaster Frank DeSouza
said today he had received au
thorization from Washington, D.
C, to rent quarters at 38 North
Holly street to use as an annex
in handling Christinas mail dur
ing the two weeks preceding
the holiday.
The annex will be used solely
as a depot from which parcels
will be delivered, Mr. DeSouza
explained in emphasizing that
there will be 110 need of the
public calling at the annex. Use
uf tiie annex will relieve con
gestion at the central office.
"' TO' f3c
POLITICS BLAMED
FOR KUHN TRIAL
New York, Nov. 21. (IP)
Fritz Kuhn's counsel today reit
erated his charge politics was
behind the prosecution of the
German-American bund leader
on larceny and forgery charges.
Summing up at Kuhn s trial,
after L. E. Sabbatino declared
the case was not a routine mat
ter as the district attorneys' of
fice contended, but one in which
"the motivating force was poli
tics." Before argument started Judge
James G. Wallace announced he
would allow the jury to take the
case on five counts of the orig
inal ten-count indictment and
after he had dismissed 32 mo
tions for a mistrial, based on var
ious grounds.
Arguing against the district
attorney's statement that the
case was "routine," Sabbatino
pointed out to the jury that As
sistant District Attorney Herman
J. McCarthy made two trips to
Florida merely to interview Mrs.
Florence Camp, whom Kuhn had
called his "golden angel" in love
letters.
Kuhn is accused of stealing
$1,217 from the bund treasury,
$717 of which was used to pay
the furniture-moving expenses
of Mrs. Camp, according to the
state. The remaining $500, the
prosecution charges, was listed
in bund financial records as paid
to James D. C. Murray, lawyer,
who denied he ever received the
money.
Bund members, Sabbatino re
marked, had testified that Kuhn
had a right to "throw the money
down a sewer or buy a race
horse if he wanted to," and had
supported his claims of inno
cence. TL
ON TAXES, AHEAD
Washington, Nov. 27. (IP)
Secretary Morgenthau said to
day the treasury would borrow
$500,000,000 tomorrow in the
first major financing in a year.
Because of the deficit, which
has amounted to more than
$1,000,000,000 so far this fiscal
year, Morgenthau said the treas
ury would sell $500,000:000 of
two percent treasury bonds ma
turing from 1948 to 1950.
The financing, added to the
present federal debt of $41,288,
000,000, will bring the treasury
closer to $45,000,000,000 debt
limit but Morgenthau said he
was "not worried'' because con
gress "has got to do something
if the boys are going to eat."
He said this meant that if ap
propriations continued to run
ahead of revenues, congress had
to vote new taxes or authorize
a higher debt limit. President
Roosevelt said last week that
he wanted the people to think
about whether a proposed $500.
000.000 in national defense ex
penditures should be financed
by borrowing or by a special
tax.

PEACE, FARM NEED
HELD TOP ISSUES
OF REPUBLICANS
By W. B. Ragsdale.
Washington, Nov. 27. (IP)
Senator Taft of Ohio, willing
to run for president if enough
Republicans want him, has been
making speeches through the
farm belt which help to throw
some light toward the misty
recesses of the next campaign.
He discloses , some of the
strategical high spots on which
the Republicans are likely to
take their stand.
Although Jie differs from
Senator Vandenberg of Michi
gan and some other Republicans
on the best way of keeping out
of the European war, Taft joints
them in saying:
"The welfare of this country
and its people depends on keep
ing out of the European war.
and the people are determined
that we shall do so. On that
issue, the Republicans occupy
the strong position. They are
the peace party."
He says President Roosevelt
has expressed the same deter
mination, but the Democratic
party, what with the experi
ence of President Wilson, has a
bad record in that respect.
This is a statement that will
be heard from all sorts of Re
publican sources during the
next 11 months.
Taft smacks down, too, on
unemployment and unbalanced
budgets, two familiar themes
which arc destined to become
even more familiar.
For months, the Republican
national committee has been
drumming away at these in its
publicity. Each item in the
weekly clipsheet which it sends
to newspapers is separated bv
the line: "For a job vote G.6.
P." Each clipsheet reports the
status of federal finances, the
total of the federal debt, and
the per capita share of that
debt.
FACE LINDY LAW
Seattle, Nov. 27. (IP) Two
young men, who confessed the
abduction and attack of a 17
year old girl, were charged with
first degree kidnaping in super
ior court today. The charge calls
for the death penalty or life
imprisonment upon conviction.
Prosecutor's Deputy Charles
C. Ralls said the men, Eugene
Weaver, 19 and Raymond Fru
cha, 24, confessed they abducted
