‘State War. Board Pleads With Farmers to Avoid- Critical |

. By HELEN RUEGAMER

State war board members and Indiana canners went to ;

work today to induce farmers to plant increased acreage in| order to avoid a critical food |:

canning crops immediately in shortage later this year.

A. E. Coddington of Indianapolis, president of the;

Indiana Canners association, met here yesterday with mem-

bers of the war board, a co-ordinating agency of the depart-|§ - ment of agriculture.

The men agreed that they must sell the farmers on the

idea that their crops are of vital importance in winning the |} ‘war and that they must plant

been solved. The war board voted to map out an intensive publicity campaign, appealing to the farmers’ patriotfsm. Members plan to solicit the aid of Governor Schricker, the can-

officials in promising farmers suf-

But there won't be any need for pickers in the fall if we don’t get the acreage today.” Delay to End

The war board members pointed out that many farmers were refusing to plant tomatoes because in previous years there had been as much as one or two days of delay in unloading the tomatoes at the canning plants. Mr. Coddington assured the board that the canners were preparing now to unload the farmers’ wagons

farmers’ hands. The meeting followed an SPpeal to farmers made by Governor Schricker yesterday, in which he pledged his full co-operation in providing ‘the farmers with adequate labor for their crops. He shid that the opening of schools could be deferred until after| harvest time, and that school busses) may: be used to transport agricultural workers.

German Predicts

War by Gas Soon

LONDON, April 7 (U. P.)— Gen. Kurt Diettmar, German military commentator, has indi-~ cated possible gas warfare this summer, Exchange Telegraph agency said today in a Zurich dispatch. “Following the experience of the winter battle,” the agency quoted Diettmar, “Germany will apply a means of warfare no longer connected with the production pace in weapons or munitions. “No concentration of troops will be able to withstand this means of warfare. The vast stretches’ of Russian territory demand that Germany conduct the war under Yiu spin laws.”

THE OCD ROSTER

Here's List V- Gardeners May Call in Various City Areas.

It’s plowing time in Indianapolis and victory gardeners find themselves courting the favor of plowmen whose popularity equals that of the corner butcher prior to rationing. Two weeks ago the office of civilian defense was thumbing through a well-worn list of 12 plowmen who had registered to take care of the city’s 20,000 victory gardens, The supply wouldn't meet the demand. Through a drive instigated by Harry A. Peterson, chairman of the OCD plowing and project committee, the number has been increased to 20. Plowmen are still as scarce as big roasts at Sunday dinners,

List of Plowmen

The list to date includes the following plowmen on the east side: James Harmon, 5803 E. 17th st.; William VanGordon, 4507 E. 19th st.; Russ Reading, 8S. Arlington ave.; George Lane, 2824 N. Temple ave., Truman LaMar, E. 46th st.; Fonrose Grundy, 2605 N. Keystone ave., and Grady Brown, 2809 Hillside ave. Plowing on. the south side are Clarence Martindale, 230 E, Iowa st.; Robert Wallman, 2333 Ransdell; Melvin Rhoades, 306 E, Sumner ave.; Wiley M. Rhoades, McFarland rd.,, and Richard Boyd, 2238 E. Pruitt st.” : North side workers include John (Lawrence) ; Cold Spring rd.; Charles Surber, 6524 Carrollton ave.; Henry C. Toppe, 6520 Cornell ave.; Bert Gray, Keystone ave, forth of 62d st., and Wilbur Rocme, 6410 N, Evanston ave.

Use That Spade

The only plowmen registered for the west side are Hugh Carter, 5401 W. 16th st., and Harold Snyder, 3001 W. Wyoming st. To get a plowman, contact the man whose address is nearest the ground you want plowed. If you get “stuck,” contact others listed under your section. If you can’t locate’ a man in your section, call others outside for a few have tractor equipment that may be loaded on ga truck and taken to the property. Failing in all this, get out your spade and start to work. Victory gardens must be planted, plowmen or no plowmen.

END RESTRICTIONS ON SEED POTATOES

WASHINGTON, April 7 (U. P.).— The office of price administration today came to the aid of small victory gardeners by removing the restriction which prohibited retailers from selling seed potatoes in lots of less than 50 pounds. Dealers are now permitted to sell seed potatoes in any quantity for planting purposes. The 50-pound limitation originally was set to aid in smashing a black market which was selling seed potatoes for eating.

America Has No Desire to Be ‘Big Brother,” Says Morgenthau.

WASHINGTON, April 7 (U. P.)— The preliminary draft of Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau’s post-war monetary stabilization program revealed today that the United States would have veto power over all other nations on “certain important operations.” Morgenthau explained to a press conference late yesterday that this country has no desire to be the “big brother” or the “rich brother” of other powers, and his plan would not allow the United States to dictate policy to the other nations if more than 20 per cent of the voting power opposed it. But it would be able to say what other nations shall not do. The plan, in effect, provides this country with a veto power in its suggested control of the $5,000,000,000

would create. Management of the fund would be placed in the hands of a board of representatives of the participating nations with voting power in proportion to the countries’ contributions, with no board member being allowed to cast more than 25 per cent of the total votes.

How Veto Would Work

this: For all ordinary actions by the board, a majority vote would be enough. But for “certain important operations”—such as approving a member country’s alteration of its currency—a four-fifths or 80 per cent vote would be required. Thus, if the United States contributes in the neighborhood of $2,000,000,000 to the fund, as presumably it will, it would control 25 per cent of the votes—not enough to force its will on other nations if they objected, but enough to stop them from combining on an action the United States opposed. There has been little reaction to this feature of the plan yet, although dispatches from London recognized it as a proposal that participating nations give up their sovereign rights in the determination of foreign exchange parities. Here are some of the operations of the proposed fund that would require a four-fifths vote which the United States presumably could block: 1. Changes in the amount or “quotas” subscribed to the stabiliza~ tion fund by member countries. 2. Borrowing by the fund of the currency of member nations. 3. Investment of any of the funds’ currency holdings in government securities and prime commercial paper of the. country involved, provided further that the board representative of the country approves. 4. A loan to any member country of its. local currency from the fund for one year or less up to 75 per

held by the fund. 5. Altering the value of the currency of each member country fixed by the fund in terms of gold or unitas, the new proposed international currency unit.

Act as Guarantor Saw Morgenthau said that the purpose of the fund was to stabilize the value of member countries’ currencies and to fix the rates at which it would buy and sell those currencies. Its power would be to buy and sell gold, currencies and, with their approval, the securities of the mem-

Morgenthau said the fund would not be “an interfederal reserve sys-

pointing out it would loan no money. He said it would act as a guarantor so that “neither banks nor exporters or importers would take all the risks” in international trade. The fund would establish a new monetary unit, called’ unitas, equal in value to 10 United States dollars and consisting of 1371-7 grains of fine gold. However, the unitas would be a bookkeeping device; no unitas coins or notes would be issues. Member countries could deposit gold with the fund for a credit in unitas which would be redeemable in gold, and these unitas credits would be transferrable among member nations. Anticipates Gold Return The plan seems to contemplate the world’s return to the gold standard. Its whole structure is ‘pegged to gold. Every country participating in it would have to contribute at least. “some gold,” Harry D. White, assistant to the treasury secretary explained. Morgenthau has sent the plan to 37 united nations and their associates and has invited them to send their technical experts to Washington to confer with American experts on this’ plan or on any they might want to submit. He said it was “up to congress” whether the axis nations would be permitted to participate in the plan after their defeat. France, he said, was not included because he didn’t know who to deal with for the French people at this time. Simi-
