: KEY TO FARM PRICE BOOST ' SEEN IN WAR DEBT SWAP; VISION BOON TO TAXPAYERS Trade That Would Clear European Situation Might Mean Millions in Pockets of Soil Tillers. BENEFIT WOULD BE FAR REACHING Vast Increase in Purchasing Power Would Result if Intelligent Settlement Were Made. This is the second of a series of articles in “Swapping War Debts for Prosperity.” a an BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scrlppu-Howard Foreign Editor Suppose we canceled the $11,000,000,000 war debts which Europe owes us: How could that possibly help you and me ? How could it help the eight or ten million jobless in the United States, the thirty-odd million farmers and their families, the factory owner, the mechanic, the clerk, the school teacher, professional man, banker, bootblack and the milk man? For there is no blinking the fact. If the people of Europe do not pay the war debts, the people of America will have to

pay them. How could it help us—our being taxed to pay those billions? The farmers are the most numerous group of American workers: How could it help them ? To get at the answer, let's have a look at some of the crops and the prices they bring. After all, that is what determines not only the prosperity of the farmer, but very largely that of the nation. Wheat Trice Toboggans Last year, according to the department of agriculture, 892,000,000 bushels of wheat were grown in this country. The price paid the producers, as of December, was not even 45 cents a bushel—less than wheat has sold for in 300 years. The value of the entire wheat crop was only $400,000,000. Anything, therefore, that caused wheat prices to rise 10 cents a bushel would mean $90,000,000 a year to the growers. Seventy-cent, wheat —and it has averaged more than that for 100 years—would put an extra $200,000.000 into the farmers’ pockets annually. Last year approximately 17,000,000 bales of cotton were produced in this country. The price to producers was around 5.7 cents a pound. That meant only $485,000,000 for the crop. Anything that caused cotton to rise 2 cents a pound would add $lO a bale and boost the cotton farmers’ income $170,000,000 a year. And cotton has averaged above 8 cents ever since they started gathering reliable cotton statistics back in 1875. Would Add Millions Seventy-cent wheat and 8-cent cotton—certainly a modest enough figure—would add between $350,000,000 and $400,000,000 a year to the income of wheat and cotton growers alone. The American meat crop—to cite just one more—in 1929 brought producers $2,815,000,000. according to the official agricultural year book. Estimates for this year are not much above $1,000,000,000. This represents a loss gs somewhere around $1,500,000,000. Anything that caused cattle to advance $2 a head, on a 60,000.000 head basis, would mean an extra $120,000,000 a year to the raiser. Thus only a very slight advance in the price of these three com modities alone would benefit the American farmer more than $500,000,000 a ye?. 1 , and the last year's unpaid instalment of the war debts amounted to less than half that amount. Total Far Down Total farm products in 1929 brought $12,000,000,000. This year farmers will feel lucky if their crops bring them $4,000,000,000. Any world change for the better which would restore commodity prices to just half what they were three years ago. would add $2,000.000,000 to the purchasing power of the people on the farms. What helps the farmer helps all. About 30 per cent of the buying power of the country is in his hands. He buys automobiles and accessories. He buys fertilizers and farm machinery. He buys furniture, radios, clothes, goods of all kinds, and luxuries when he can afford them. Two billion dollars distributed among the farmers means 20 billion merchandise and service dollars making the rounds of the country. Each such dollar turns over about ten times a year. Would Boom Business That means American industries would get more orders, hire more workers, buy more raw materials. It means stores would find their business picking up and stocks would have to be replenished. Railroads would have more freight to haul. Laid-off employes would find themselves drifting back to work. Like the rings around a pebble dropped in a pond, the cycle of better times would keep on spreading until all of us found ourselves inside. So. if a way could be found to swap the war debts—which Europe say she never can pay—for an improved world situation which would boost commodity prices and keep them boosted, the American people would stand to profit several times over. , How the ball might be started rolling in that direction will be suggested in another article. Next—“ The War Debts and Mr. Jones.” What is said to be the largest X-ray photograph taken in the world was made on a film seven by two feet at the Field museum in Chicago of an Egyptian mummy is its casket.

BORAH READY TO TRADE If I could swap the war debts due the United States for a settlement which would open the markets of the world to the American farmer and the American manufacturer in other words, if I could purchase the prosperity of the American people by these debts—l would not hesitate to make the purchase.”—WlLLlAM E. BORAH, Chairman, Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

FAILURE TO CUT TAX ISILAYED Northsiders Demand $1.50 Limit Be Enforced. Resolution condemning “powerful and selfish” interests for failing to lighten the tax burden and demanding enforcement of the $1.50 tax limit law, was adopted at a meeting of north side taxpayers Monday night in Odd. Fellows hall at Broad Ripple. Permanent organization of the group loomed as probable with appointment of Gavin L. Payne, oroker, and William Bosson, attorney, as members of a committee to lay future plans. “We, home and farm owners of Washington township, declare our firm purpose to insist that the tax limit law is enforced by budget authorities, and we pledge ourselves, irrespective of politics, to oppose in every way any public servant who fails to do his duty, the resolution declares. Governmental units are finding it virtually impossible to sell public improvement bonds because of the maximum levy law, according to Frederick E. Matson, Indianapolis attorney, in a public opinion on the situation. Poor relief bonds, however, are not affected, because they were placed outside of the maximum levy provisions by two laws enacted by the legislature after passage of the $1.50 measure, Matson said in his opinion. Several bond issues already have been rejected by bonding companies. .

months old, 2157 Ringgold street, and his appeal for help wai broadcast to the world by John Hansing, 12, to whom the sorrow cf loss is equally poignant.

George E. Hurst, who carried his own love letters to woo and wm his wife, will retire within a year, after thirty years as a- rural mail carrier. His fiance now his wife, lived on his mail route and it was something of an advantage to know who and how many suitors he had for rivals, Hurst recalled REDEEEM ANCIENT BILLS Post Civil War Money Cashed at Bank in Oregon. By United Press ALBANY. Ore., Aug. 30.—A pocketful of post Civil war “shinplasters” were redeemed at face value here by the First National bank for D. W.

Lose to Russian Mud

When Alva Christensen (left) and Mary L. Degive (right), adventurous society girls of Atlanta. Ga.. decided to make an automobile tour of Soviet Russia, they evidently forgot to inquire about road conditions. Consequently, after penetrating only 200 miles into Soviet territory, they were forced to have their auto pulled out of the bogs by oblig ing Russians and shipped into Moscow by train. The mud was too much for them. Undaunted, they plan to continue the trip, but they hope the rains hold off until they have finished.

Insull and Cermak Laud Chicago, in Paris Confab

Their Home Town Is One of Most Moral in World, They Agree. BY MARY KNIGHT United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1932, by United Press) PARIS, Aug. 30. —Chicago is one of the most moral cities in the world whose reputation suffered simply because of imported gangsters and unfair publicity. Mayor Anton Cermak and Samuel Insull agreed today as they sat in conversation in the Prince of Wales hotel lobby. It was during the hour before breakfast that Insull, once mighty industrialist, who is living here since his empire collapsed, dropped into a leather chair beside the mayor, who is leading a group of Chicagoans on a tour of Europe. Call Capone New Yorker They declared the fact that Chicago has suffered at the hands of A1 Capone, a New York boy, and that "those New York newspaper correspondents certainly delight in giving Chicago a black eye.” Insull questioned Mayor Cermak continuously about Chicago's municipal affairs, showing a keen interest in the city’s life—civic, social, musical, political and criminological. “I tell you,” said Mayor Cermak, "I’ve been in a dozen big cities since I left dome, and I’m still convinced that Chicago is the most moral of all of them. If some things happening in these European cities should happen in Chicago, headlines throughout the world would blaze the story.” Insull Lives in Luxury Insull Is an early riser, and usually takes a long walk each morning along the smart Champs Elysee. Though hj retires early each evening, he manages to visit a few of the tourist restaurant haunts. He is living: comfortably in one of Paris’ exclusive and costly hotels. He occupies the suite usually reserved for the prince of Wales when he is in the city. Mrs. Insull, recovering from a recent illness, stays in the hotel most of the time. The former utilities magnate spends many hours with her each day. SOUTH SeUbRIDE IS DIVORCE PLEA CENTER Wouldn’t Con\p to Live in U. S., Says Ex-Marine Husband. Af.r/ United Press BLYTHEVILLE.

MINE WAR IS FILMFEATURE Illinois Battle Scenes Are Shown Vividly. Invasion of the southern Illinois coal fields by a “motorized army” of 25,000 striking miners and their repulse at the hands of officials and armed citizens of Franklin and adjoining counties, is graphically shown in the current issue of The Indianapolis Times-Universal News reel, described by Graham McNamee, famous talking reporter of the screen. Among other interesting and important events reported by McNamee in this news reel is the takeoff from Floyd Bennett field, Brooklyn, N.

Aug. 30.—Eight middle aged millionaires, highly successful in business, and reputed to be as shrewd as any eight men America has produced, will be sued for $138,000,000 on the allegation that they naively allowed a ninth gentleman to hoodwink them out of that amount. The suits were authorized today by Oscar W. Ehrhorn, federal referee in bankruptcy, on petition of the Irving Trust Company, trustee of the late Ivar Kreuger’s defunct match company, the International Match Corporation. Eight to Be Sued Kreuger, who, before his suicide was a great financier, a genius, and, after his death, an international adventurer and confidence man, will be the villain in the suits that will allege, in a few words, that the eight Americans, as directors of International Match, did not watch him closely enough. The eight: Percy A. Rockefeller, member of Apierica's foremost industrial and monied dynasty, director of fiftyone corporations. Francis L. Higginson, member of the banking firm of Lee Higginson & Cos., director of twelve corporations. Frederic W. Allen, member of the same firm and director of thir-ty-three corporations. Donald Durant, also of Lee, Higginson & Cos., and director in six corporations. Henry O. Havemeyer, president of Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal, and director of thirteen corporations. Samuel F. Pryor, a director of thirty-three corporations. Adrian H. Larkin, a director of ten corporations. John McHugh, director of the Chase National bank and six other corporations. Accounting to Be Asked The Irving Trust Company received permission to file two suits against the eight men. First it will seek an accounting of $100,000,000 allegedly lost to .stockholders of the corporation because of their negligence. Secondly, it will sue for $38,000,000 allegedly lost to stockholders because of dividends illegally paid from capital. The allegations are numerous. From the summons and complaint on file in the referee's office, one of them is: That Rockerfeller, Higginson and the other directors of International Match allowed Kreuger to control and manage the corporation’s finances “despite the fact that the American public had invested $150,000,000.” SPONSOR SAFETY RALLY Pre-School Program Will Be Held Wednesday Night.

BY WALKER STONE Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—The vote of thirty-seven senators and fifty-seven members of the house will have to be changed if the American Legion’s apparent shift of sentiment for the soldiers' bonus is to be translated into legislation at the next congress session. This next session, will be a “lame duck” session, and except for those who die before December, the membership of the two houses will be the same as it was last session when votes were taken on the Pat-man-Thomas bill. Regardless of the outcome of the November election, President Hoover still will be in the White House,
