In return the farmer must agree to cut his 1034 wheat plantings plant-ings by 15 per cent, Some $120.-000,000 $120.-000,000 in compensating pay ments Is expected to be paid this year, If all wheat farmers sign government contracts promising promis-ing to reduce their next year's planting by the stipulated amount.

It must also have a signed statement of the thresher man as to how much wheat cam off the farm in th last three years and a certificate of the elevator or railroad official who bought the wheat D UI under the blue eagle, was P the slogan with which Administrator Ad-ministrator Hugh Johnson opened the great drive to persuade the entire en-tire nation to give Its full support to the NRA. The cry was taken up by an army of a million and a half volunteers who started out to canvass can-vass the households of the country,; coun-try,; to tell the people what there-covery there-covery act means and to enlist the Individual citizens under Its emblem. em-blem. General Johnson warned the people peo-ple that ''even a shadow" of boycott boy-cott Intimidation and violence would wreck the whole endeavor; but he insisted that confining one's patronage to dealers who fly the blue eagle would not be boycotting the others and would be not only Justifiable but necessary to the campaign's cam-paign's success. Completion of the automobile code and Its acceptance by President Pres-ident Roosevelt was counted a great achievement by NRA, and the manufacturers man-ufacturers were fairly well satisfied satis-fied with the compromise on the union labor problem which gave them the right to deal with their workers on a basis of merit and efficiency. President William Green of the American Federation of Labor La-bor was quick to take advantage of the provision of the code which, he held, permits the workers to organize. or-ganize. He wired the general organizer, or-ganizer, William Collins, In Detroit De-troit to appeal to auto employees to "unite with labor." Pessimistic observers see in all this the seeds of future conflicts. Henry Ford was still silent on his Intentions concerning the code. General Johnson said emphatically that If he did not sign he could not get the blue eagle; that outdoing the code with shorter hours and higher wages would not be com pllonce.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT selected select-ed Secretary of the Interior Ickes to be administrator for the oil In dustry, and then selected the other 14 members of the planning and con servation committee to assist Mr. Ickes In this work. . The President also took steps to relax the gold embargo for the ben eflt of the mine owners. - He Issued two orders, one allowing the aale In foreign markets of . gold mined In the United States and the other stringently binding the anti-hoarding regulations to safeguard the national na-tional supply.

Both Professor Moley and Secretary Secre-tary of State Hull denied that the former's resignation was caused by the disagreements between those two gentlemen which culminated at the London conference. Many In dependent commentators held that Moley's retirement from the administration admin-istration heralded the passing of the regime of the professor and the return re-turn of practical politicians to the direction of the nation's affairs. DEPEALISTS were unnecessarily worried about the state of Washington, partly because the vote on wiping out the Eighteenth amendment was In the form of referendums In each of the legislative legisla-tive districts. This scheme, however, how-ever, availed the drys nothing, for the state voted for repeal about 5 to 2. Nearly complete returns showed that only one district, with two delegates, went dry, so the repeal re-peal amendment will be ratified by the other 97 delegates when the convention meets October 8 in Olympla. The state emergency committee, a retentlonlst organization, fought repeal. re-peal. It contended that In the event of abolition of the prohibition amendment the state would be without with-out liquor regulation, except laws prohibiting sale of alcoholic beverages bever-ages to Indians and minors, until the legislature meets again In 1985. The state bone-dry law. passed In 1917, was repealed last November. TplUKTEEN deaths are to be laid to a storm In New Mexico.

TEA and conversation were all that Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of England, obtained when he visited President Roose velt at Hyde Park. He waa accom panled by George L. Harrison, governor of tba New York federal reserve bank, and he hoped to talk about sta bllizatlon of the currency. cur-rency. But there were various other guests present and still more dropped in during the after- Montagu Norman noon and Mr. Roosevelt had no desire to talk about stabilization or any allied matters. So It was Just a pleasant social affair, and Mr. Norman left early. The eminent Londoner, however. did have a number of conferences with financial men, Including Secre tary of the Treasury Woedin, and monetary problems were discussed. but the results, If any, were not made public. EUROPE Is not feeling at all peaceful these days, and this is due largely to the doings of German Chancellor Hitler and his Nazis in their conflict with the government of Austria. The Austrian Nazis are hurrying across the border 10 Join their comrades In Germany, and the threat of Invasion grows day by day.

President Von Hindenburg and Hitler attended a huge meeting of Germans at Tannenburg to celebrate cele-brate the German victory there over the Russians, and the former, accepting aa a gift from East Prussia Prus-sia a forest estate, said : "I am thinking with reverence, fidelity and gratitude of my kaiser, the king and lord, in thla hour, when 1 am thinking also of my deceased comrades In arms, and when I proceed pro-ceed to thank you for the gift" The chancellor, flying the same day to Niederwald, near the Saar frontier, told a crowd of 200.000 that Germany would never give up the Saar. At the time of the latter demonstration 'there was a secret meeting of Nazi chieftains to whom Saar State Councillor Simon said: "Wherever the German language is spoken, wherever German blood runs in the veins, greater Germany extends. We will not be content Just with the Saor. The German language Is spoken as far west as Metz and Mulhouse. The Saar, Al Bace, Lorraine and parts of Belgium Bel-gium and Holland formerly were Germnn and the German character still lives there today In the people. "Germany will no longer be a people of 00,000.000 Inhabitants, but of 90.000,000. The conquest of the Saar will be the point of depar ture for other political successes on the western frontiers of Germany. The Nazi, the relch and Chancellor Hitler will not rest until this aim a Germany of 00,000,000 Inhabitants has been achieved." f NCLE SAM Is determined to bring Samuel Insull back home to answer for his alleged sins.
