‘‘lf the sheriff had called me and

prevented the lynching.” Governor
Ehringhaus said. ‘‘But I received no

any trouble was pending was when
I was told of it by the newspapermen
here.
“I immediately called Captain Char

New York, July 31.—The Roosevelt

one blind alley after another in re

It has its billions, but does not know
how to get the money to those who
need it.
The reason is clear: Any construc

is certain to invade the provinces of
private business.

at useful purposes, such as building
houses, manufacturing goods for their
own use or raising their own food,
how long would it be until socializa

Yet Agricultural Adjustment, Ad

casts such an attack if taxation of

constitutional by the United States

Subsidy Provisions in AAA
May Determine Sale of
100,000 Bales
Washington, July 31. —(AP) —On a
proposed $5,000,000 cotton sale to Italy
may hang the fate of suggested sub
sidy provisions in the agricultural ad
justment act.
House and Senate conferees were
to start today to compose their dif
ferences on the AAA amendments.
House members were determined to
restore a provision which would per
mit use of 30 per cent of the nation’s
customs receipts to finance disposal
of farm surpluses.
The Senate struck it from the bill.
Representative Coffee, Democrat,
Nebraska, tipped the House conferees
to the fact that if the provision was
included in the measure, the export
import bank might close a deal by
which Italy would purchase 100.000
bales of American cotton at market
prices, with the Bunk of Italy guar
anteeing the loan.
