The report of the study was present ed at the opening of the General As sembly of the International Institute of Agriculture by the United States delegate. Henry C. Taylor, of Des Moines, lowa. The report drew a vivid picture of the decline of American cotton ex ports, trading the market back to 1880 when the United States sent from its ports 72 per cent of the world’s to tal exports. "The price for a product such as cotton x x x x cannot be affected in the domestic market without at the same time provoking a strong reac tion in the world cotton market," the report asserted.

Those fa voring this plan know that the Gen eral Assembly is not likely to approp riate the additional $1,000,000 or nec essary to employ adult drivers for each of the 4,000 school buses.

Johnson said today. Johnson pointed out that he is not advocat ing such an issue, but has merely thrown out the suggestion and shown that such a bond issue could be mar keted and retired without necessitat ing any increase in motor vehicle or gasoline taxes.

When mixed with diplomacy it baffles even the average expert. Therefore I do not apologize for having failed at all clearly to com prehend Treasury Secretary Morgen thau's recent announcement of a cur rency stabilization compact between the United States, Britain and France Where I particularly erred was in as suming that the secretary was in cluding in his announcement an ex planation of the fashion in which stabilization was to be effected.

All states growing flue-cured to bacco must come in. 2. There must be Federal regula tion to prevent the movement of to bacco across state lines in excess of quotas. 3.

Organized combat by Fascists at tempting to break up a communist meeting, informed sources declared, had shown the new social party to be a military league rather than a poli tical organization. Street fighting, characterized as the worst in many years, transformed the area near the Park de Princes into a shambles yesterday, andd brought 12,000 policemen and mobile guards into action as the political battlers surged in attacks and counterattacks. Fifteen hundred persons were jail ed temporarily, although all but a few were released later after the fighting had beep halted by energen tic and strongly armed guards. The series of running fights, in which heads were cracked, property damaged and Sunday peace shattered completely, started when communists took over the park for a rally. Fascists previously had declared they would hold a session in the same location, but the communists got up early and got there first. Helmeted policemen guarded the 100,090 leftist supporters as rightists began sallies against small groups. Most of the fighting occurred in the outskirts of the crowd with opposing f®rces attacking and retreating in turn.

Some say the Lord was on my side, but I say that if the Lord is on your side you are pretty apt to be right. “Under the Roosevelt administra tion the money you get from the to bacco sales will be safe if you put it in any bank of the country—one of the blessings of the New Deal.’’ Mr. Ehringhaus suddenly decided to come here today.
