FRENCH FIGHT GERMAN MOVE TO REVISE DEBT (Continued from first page) "There can be no question pf revising the Young plan," Briand said, "since it has a definite char acter and contains in itself possibil ities for Germany." Prance, he said, would be on guard against any attempt to lead her into an International confer ence for the? revision of the repa rations scheme and the Young plan, following the Anglo- Germ an convo cations at Chequers. The foreign minister's speech r Quieted the turbulence of the dep uties and resulted in a majority of sixty votes for Premier Laval's gov- < eminent ( .Answering a fire of questioning | from his critics. Briand reiterated i his faith in his attitude toward Ger- I many, although he criticized . Such ] manifestations as that of the Ger- I man "Steel Helmet" organization, i recently held at Breslau. < ?"Such demonstrations," Briand < said, "made it difficult to continue peace efforts with Germany. I have i not ceased," he said, "to plead with 1 the German government that it 1 Should halt such manifestations. The last was deplotable and regret table." "The disquieting thing about th* Breslau incident Is the state of mind of the individuals who massed - on the Polish frontier shortly after the question of the Polish minori ties had been discussed at Geneva." Briand reminded, the deputies, however, that "a Bruenlng govern ment IS preferable to a Hitler gov ernment. which might one day come into power." S. 8. Europa (by .Radiophone to London), June 9. ? Chancellor He'.n rlch Bruenlng and Dr. Julius Cur~ tlus, German foreign minister, are returning from the Chequers con ference with renewed conviction of the importance of the part Ameri can public opinion will play tn any attempt to reshuffle the reparations and war debt problems.- Jr They are looking forward to con versations with Secretary of State Henry L. Stimsoji and Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon, who will be in Europe this summer, .and they are fu}ly aware that eco- : nomic problems have made both reparations and war debts unpopu lar topics In the United States. The viewpoint of the head* of j . - > ? the German state *u obtained in conversations in which they could not be quoted directly, as Downing Street ha* placed its veto on pub lic discussion of their conference with Prime Minister Ramsay Mac Donald and Arthur Henderson, Brit-, isn foreign secretary. The Germans hope a prostrate Germany, unable to purchase raw materials from America, will help convince Americans there is a con nection between the economic crisis and reparations. On one item their policy Is ada mant?under no circumstances will the Bruening government permit Germany to participate In any ma neuver designed to bring Europe into a united front against America. In any conversations between the heads of the German government and the visiting American cabinet members, the point wil be made that Germany ai^d Britian both wish to work with America as a friend in deciding what course must be pursued.

EXPECT ECONOMIC ILLS TO DOMINATE POLITICAL BATTLE (Continued fraat first page) This summer they will work quietly for their candidates and their parties, building up defenses, gathering munitions. Such warfare as Is conducted will be desultory, consisting largely of paper shells, with a good percentage of "duds" in the form of statements on hot weather topics like tariff, depression and prohibition. Things will start to happen next December when the meetings of the Republican and Democratic ~ ional committees will be called to select cities and dates for the nat ional conventions, sometime in June. Republlcons first, then Democrats. Next, in January or February, pre-conventlon headquarters of the leading candidates and "favorite sons" will be opened, perhaps as many as half a dozen on each side. The agents of the contenders will " spend their time damning all rival' candidates, Irrespective of party, until contention time. After that the Are will be directed across a straight battle line. Republican and Democratic, unless the possible third party enters to make a sort of triangular front. Otiml Summary. The opinion, as it Is outlined at the moment by men on both sides who are not concerned with indi vidual candidates, but are working only for the bigger success of thelf parties, may be summarized as fol lows: The economic situation should be the great Issue unless there is some tremendous unexpected occurrence. Democrats say they will blame the tariff for the depression, and "gen eral Republican inaptitude JS Repub licans say they will accept the issue | frankly. They plan to assign spe cific causes to specific phases of the depression, causes outside of political control; to defend the tariff and hold that had Alfred E. Smith been elected In 1B28 things, | at best, would .not have been better. Republicans and Democrats both, say that President Hoover should be the Republican candidate undoubt edly. Both expect other candidates to have Small followlngs; men of both sides, however, agree In the prediction that the President will head his ticket again. Such men as Plnchot.

WASHINGTON BY RADFORD MOBLEY MJTOCASTER. WASHINGTON BUREAU Washington, Df C ?President Hoover's frank appeal to all citizens 1 of the country to aid him in his ef forts to restore normalcy is con- J Sidered by political observers here to be one of his greatest speeches. It was delivered at Valley Forge, and the President used General Washington's trouble in Revolu tionary days as a background against which to picture present difficulties. Mr. Hoover's greatest drawback has been the way the general pub lic has pictured him as a cold, cal culating machine, undemocratic in the extreme. At Valley Forge he touched everyone's heart by the short expression, "I have my trou bles also." That phrase, following his assertion that there could be no hope for a change in the finan cial or employment sltu&tlon through ! governmental agencies alone, form ed a plea for help that will do more to win him support than any thing else he could have said or done, it is thought here. Mr. Hoover's words carried con viction, both from what he said and the way he said it. Radio listeners, who must have numbered millions, heard a warm, logical, sympathetic voice speaking to them, a voice vastly different from that heard in the few campaign talks he made, which many campaign workers at that time asserted were . of little benefit in winning votes because of their mechanical delivery and pre cise phraseology. The President unquestionably won many warm supporters by his Valley Forge speech and it will probably be translated Into much helpful activity an the part of tho6e who had felt that Hoover's voice was more tfve voice of big business than a fellow-citizen, sorely tried by the mishaps of drought and fi nancial unsteadiness that overcame the country in the first two /years Of his administration. ? ? ? Wheat corners have Intrigued the imagination of growers for three generations, in which time Jim Patten, J. Odgen Armour and oth ers have headed purchases of wheat that staggered the qpuntry. The Federal Government ha? Just suc cessfully managed the greatest cor ner of wheat in history, not even being able to make the front pages of newspapers with it because the element of uncertaintly was lacking. Carrying 150,000,000 bushels, as it did, at a price varying from around 84 to 81 cents . th*e hm ? a question that the " nations poeketbo readied, forcing the ' its h^V'VT* with a rifle drop In" prWe The, pool was engineered by t*. Orata B^Wto Hon Corporation, the Farmers* Nat ional Board and toe Federal Board all governmental While the pool has cost the < try money, yet the to* to Individ ual farmers would ha** been enor mous had the corner not been run and the country would ultimately have been carried through. Due to the government's trading, all opera tions have been accomplished in an orderly- manner and deliveries have been prompt at all times. ? ? ? Retirement of Charles C. Teague, California vioe-chainnan of the Farm Board, which became effective on the first of the month, served to focus attention on the many co operatives fostered by the govern ment during- his tenure of offce. The institution of the revolving fund during Teague's work with the board, enabled producers to weather many storms of lowered prices, due to the adoption of systems for more orderly marketing of farm produce Teague declared in his letter made public by the President, that gov ernmental aid alone had saved many of the co-operatives from perishing in their early operations and that as the benefits of the Agricultural Marketing Act becomes better known, the growers will hail it as one of the most constructive meas-^fl ures of the present admlnlstration^H He says he Is firmly convinced that^* more progress has been made in marketing food products in the past two years than In any previous ten year period In the country's history. ? ? ? A curious finding was uncovered by the Department of Agriculture this month. It is that wheat ranks sixth in importance In all crops and not first, as many believe. It is exceeded by cotton, milk, hogs, cattle and calves, and eggs and chickens. Cotton accounts for 14.59 per cent of the average farmer's In come, milk being a fraction less. Wheat avemged only 7.89 of the total Income from farm products. WANT ADS FOR RENT? TWO SIX ROOM dwellings, light and water. See J. L. Garrett, Roxboro, N. C. FOR RENT ?
