UTAH News Review of Current Events the World Over President's Farm Relief Bill Passes the House; Labor Unions Oppose Unemployment Relief Bill; Public Works Next on Program. r '. Marvin Jones THE President' farm relief bill 1 passed the bouse with both Democrats and Republicans voting for and against it During the hours of oratory, con- T!rS fined almost exclu slvely to explanation explana-tion on the part of members as to why they would vote for or against the bill, many Interesting statements were made. "In ordinary times 1 wouldn't support a measure of this kind." was the state ment of Chairman Jones of the agricultural ag-ricultural committee after a ballot had prohibited amendments. "But we are at war. And while this war Is on I'm going to follow the man at the other end of the avenue ave-nue who has the flag In bis hand. I don't think this bill can make things any worse. God knows we all hope it will make things better." "This Is a child of the Jig-saw puzzle age," said Representative Clarke of New Xork, the agriculture committee's ranking Republican. "But filled with horrors and hell Ishness as It Is I'm going to follow the President" Representative Hope (Rep., Kan.) said he could not support It "lou are putting Into the hands of one man control of the lives of 30,000,-000 30,000,-000 people who live on farms," he Bald. "If you vote for this bill, you're simply voting for a bigger and better farm board." In the senate the bill will not have such clear sailing as It had In the house, and It Is expected It will pass only after being amended to take out of It provisions many members of botb the senate and house object to. It Is not safe to predict what the bill will provide for by the time it gets back to the White House for the President's signature. CONGRESS now has before It the final two, of three, steps In the President's unemployment relief program. The first of these pro-Tides pro-Tides for the Immediate enrollment of workers to the extent of ap proximately 250,000 for concentra tion In government established camps, the men to be employed in flood control, prevention of soli ero sion, building of ronds !n government govern-ment forest reserves, In forestry and In any other work which the President Pres-ident may direct une men congregated In these camps are to be provided with housing, hous-ing, food, clothing, medical attend ance, and to be paid a cash wage or not more than $1 per day. In the case of men with families a por tion of the cash wage Is to be al lotted for the support of the families. fam-ilies. The expense, for the present at least Is to be met, by diverting from the treasury unexpended balances of appropriations made by previous sessions of congress for other purposes. pur-poses. It Is said that about $10.-000,000 $10.-000,000 is available through such a source, and It Is expected this sum will maintain this plan for about ten weeks. There Is much opposition to this proposed law on the part of labor unions because of the low wage of fl per day. Representative Con-nery, Con-nery, Democratic chairman of the house labor committee, refused to introduce the bill because of the labor la-bor union opposition. The second step Is an appropriation appropria-tion through which further grants for unemployment relief may be made to the states. The third step, which the President Presi-dent will submit later, "extends to broad public works labor creating creat-ing program." Including the operation opera-tion of Muscle Shoals, the development develop-ment of other power projects, vast reforestation plans, and a public building program Involving the expenditure ex-penditure of 1250,000,000. The cost of carrying out the "three steps" will be about two billion dollars, and It Is expected the President will propose to cover half of that mount with a bond Issue. CHARLES E. MITCHELL, former chairman of the National City bank of New York, was arrested at his home charged with willfully evaaing payment of . an Income tax of f $657,152 for the Tear 1929.

This action was taken as a result of the representations made to the State department by a deJegation from the American Jewish congress, headed by Rabbi Stephen S.

DEER, 3.2 per cent by weight and - 4 per cent by volume alcoholic content will be on sale legally In 14 states on April 7. The house of representatives refused to accept the senate amendment providing for 3.05 per cent and the conference committee decided to accept the house percentage; the committee also killed the Borah amendment providing that the beverage could not be sold to children under sixteen years of age.

"We want to be sincere friends to the world at large," the chancellor chancel-lor said, "and to possess a real peace which will help heal the wounds from which we are suffer ing. For years heavy burdens have pressed upon our people. After a period of proud revival, poverty and distress have visited us once more. "Millions of Germans seek their daily bread In vain. Our economy is desolated, our finances shattered. For 2,000 years this faith has clung to our people ; ever against our ascent comes our fall. The German victim of inner disintegration, disunited dis-united In spirit and divided in will and thus helpless In action be comes powerless to maintain his own existence." The new order of things awoke Germany to a pitch of enthusiasm not witnessed In many years. Bon fires flared and torchlight proce Bions were everywhere. TO Dei r i -v-v-' -.v;v" Mussolini ASSURE an era of world peace the general lines of a solid European front In the form of a pact by the four chief powers were , . - evoiveu bi a comer- f"' ence In Rome between be-tween Prime Minister Minis-ter MacDonald of Great Britain and his foreign secretary, secre-tary, Sir John Simon, Si-mon, and Premier Mussolini of Italy. The project which calls for the col laboratlon of Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy, Is described as founded on the spirit of the Kellogg pact and as an International agreement to outlaw war. ... The plan was put forth by Mussolini, Mus-solini, according to the following official of-ficial communique: " ' "After a full and exhaustive exchange, ex-change, of Ideas of the general sit uation the ministers examined In these conversations a plan put forward for-ward by the head of the Italian government for an understanding on larger political questions, with the object of securing collaboration of the four western powers In an effort to promote, In the spirit of the Kellogg pact and a no force' declaration, a long period of peace for Europe and the world." The solid front of the four pow era. It is implied, would be for col laboratlon In European affairs, but such an understanding would also promote a more unified action In dealing with other International problems.
