THE CENTRE RELI the S$ REVIEW OF Bruening’s Reform Plan May Put Germany Again Under Dictatorship. By EDWARD W. PICKARD (GEiiany is cn the way to a die- tatorship. That is what Adolf Hitler, leader of Fascists, wants, but the dictator, if any, will not be of his nor of his party. He probably will be General Von Seeck and will be appointed by President Yon Hindenburg. This situation comes from the termination of Chancellor Bruening to straighten out the republic's financial tangle. He presented to the reichs- tag last week a sweeping reform pro- gram calling for great economics in the public administration, and the leg- Iglative body was told It must be adopted promptly and in its entirety. Should the reichstag ref: pass the program, Chancellor Bruening has President Von Hindenburg's author. ity to declare it law by decree, in ac- cordance with article 48 of the con- stitution, Among the provisions of the pro- gram is a 20 per cent reduction in the salaries of the President, the chancel- lor, federal and state cabinet minis- ters, and members of the reichstag and state diets, This reduction is for a period of three years as from April 1, 1031. The salaries of all other offi. cials of German states and municipal- fties, the Reichshank and the German Railway company will be cut 6 per cent. This also applies to pensions. The cabinet estimated that the 1830 budget would with a deficit of $£220,000,000. This deficit will be cov- ered by a special fund over three years. The budget for 1931 will be cut by $2350,000,000, the cioosing de- 15e¢ to close The reduction In officials’ salaries, it is estimated, wil guve more than 8230.000000. Higher duties will be levied on tobacco to bring in £40,000.000, There will be no increase in public expenditures for tliree years, federal payments to state treasuries will be cut considerably, and the taxation system will be sim- plified. It was believed be solidly ugainst the proposition and that it would be rejected. In that cise the reichstag would be dissolved and another general election would be in order. the Fascists would j.oxpoN dispatches say Hitler's plans for a “putsch” are already made; that he intends to seize power on the dissolution of the reichstag, his deputies insisting on continuing In ses- sion as a legal parliament: and that “storm troops” of Thuringia and other localities will be ready to march on Berlin. Intercepted reports to Moscow from Russian agents in Berlin are sald to show that the Soviet government has directed the Communists of Germany to turn moderate and, when the time comes, to help crush the Hitlerites. The German Communists, however, seem to be badly split just now. OT much that was new was un- covered during the week by the investigations into the short selling of wheat by the Russian government, However, the directors of the Chiengo Board of Trade, after finding the sales were legitimate hedging operations, barred such operations in the future because they bhelleve there Is inherent evil in any foreign government's com- peting with private traders In the open exchanges, Wheat prices slumped badly in the early part of the week because of con. tinued liquidation in the world mar kets, and then recovered considerably with persistent buying by big commis slon houses. Experts sald the feeding of wheat to live stock would reach 150,000,000 to 170,000,000 bushels, RESIDENT HOOVER went to Phil. adelphin Wednesday for the pur pose of giving the world's series a fly. Ing start, and he sat through the game at Shibe park without manifesting any great enthusiasm, watching the Athletics trim the Bt. Louls Cardinals. The Chief Executive then journeyed to Cleveland, spoke at the concluding session of the annual con- vention of the American Bankers’ ns- sociation. Mrs. Hoover, had been attending the convention of the Cirl of America in Indianap- olis, joined the I'resident at Bedford, Ohlo, and shared in the warm recep- tion given him at Cleveland, Mr. Hoover's address was delivered Thurs- day evening and was listened to with intense interest because it dealt large. iy with the economic situation and the efforts of the administration to relieve the business depression. Fifteen thou- sand persons in the hall and mil throughout the country heard him, for the speech was broadeast over two na- tional hookups, whee he who Scouts Ons EMOCRATS of New York renom- inated Franklin D. Roosevelt for governor by acclamation and adopted a platform that urges repeal of the Eighteenth amendment and demands that all public officials and politicians walve immunity when questioned by grand juries concerning their official acts. The latter plank of course al ludes to the scandals In process of be ing aired in New York city, which are used as ammunition by the Republic. ans. In presenting Governor Roose velt's name to the convention, Al Smith accepted the challenge of the Republicans, and demanded that any official faithless to his trust be driven from the party and punished. Mr. Roosevelt in his speech did not refer to the Tammany scandals any such directness. At the end of his address the gov- ernor asked of Mr. Tuttle, his Repub- liean rival, this question: “If you become governor and if a «State enforcement act is passed will you sign it or not?” When the same question was put to him by reporters after the convention had adjourned Mr, Roosevelt's answer was, “Emphatically no!” Bone dry Republicans of New York state are carrying out their threat to refuse to support Tuttle because of his wet platform. They have organized the “Law Preservation party” and se lected Prof. Robert P. Carroll of Syra- cuse university as their candidate for the governorship. Various dry or ganizations are expected to support the professor. with HAIRMAN NYE and three other members of his senatorial com- mittee on campaign funds last week served notice on the newspapers of the country that further publication of Ruth Hanna McCormick's charges against the committee will be regard ed by them as “wiliful and malicious libel.” Senator Patterson of Missouri refused to sign the statement. Sena- tors Nye, Dale, Dill and Wagner still Insist that neither the committee nor any of its agents was not responsible for the wire tapping and rifling of her personal effects which Mrs. McCormick charges. Nye says the lady may pre- sent her evidence, if any, before the committee after the election, but not sooner, Rhode Island Democrats in state convention nominated Peter Goelet Gerry for senator, Thedore F., Green for governor, and adopted a platform containing a very wet plank, ARL VAUGOIN, who brought about the downfall of the Schober cabinet In Austria, has become the new chancellor and formed a eabinet in which several leaders of the Heim- wehr Fascist military organization have accepted portfolios.

It was decided at Geneva that the proposed amend- ments to the covenant should not be presented until next year, Opposing the harmonization at this time were Japan and Sweden, who thought it would increase the obliga. tion of signatory nations to apply sanctions; and Rumania, speaking for the little entente, because of the latent question of treaty revision, Foreign Minister Briand, whose po- sition In the French cabinet is consid- ered shaky, strove to postpone his downfall by assuring the people at home that he would be prudent and by making an arden’ appeal to For- eign Minister Curtius of Germany not to let the Hitlerites undermine Frenchmen who stood for reconcilia- tion with Germany.

(Prepared by the United Btates Department of Agriculture.) The housewife with her motorized sweeper has nothing on the farmer of the future, for the United States De- partment of Agriculture has developed a “vacuum cleaner” to extract ox warbles from the cow's back. Doctors Imes, Boyd, and thelr asso- clates stationed at Galesburg, Il, to study the problem of ox-warble Infesta- tion of cattle, built this “vacuum cleaner” on a automobile tralier, It has four to six lines of suction and nozzles, When In operation, a nozzle Is placed over an ox-warble grub on the animal's back the grub Is drawn out through open ing in the skin, Will Remove All Warbles. The machine will remove all ox warbles, but because of the tenacity of the older grubs two or three attempts frequently necessary to dislodge them, Doctor Imes and his co-workers hope to perfect the nozzles sufficiently to get n grub with every suction, It is hoped that this machine will be prac- tical for against ox warble in it Is easy to corral “degrubbed.” hose and the are country-wide campaigns regions where all cattle to he tif i maost satis the method of removing the grubs was to Heretofore netory extract them through the openings in the animal's back one at a time with forceps, preferably of the alligator type This Is a slow and expensive method, Experimenters In Europe found that about all of the grubs conld hy medicated stick In the grub opening. 3 be destroyed inserting a small Peet Favors Young Cattle.

There is & belief that other crops will not do well on land on which a crop of buck- wheat has been raised the year pre- viously. The opinion seems to prevail especially that corn will not do well after buckwheat, A rather thorough search of the lit. erature falls to disclose any good evi- dence that buckwheat is particularly harmful to the land or that other crops will not do well after it. On the contrary, the Minnesota experi- ment station offers the results of three years of field tests to show thal corn will do as well after buckwheat as it will after any other cereal crop. It does better after buckwheat than it breaking. It has been noticed that the land is somewhat loose after growing a crop of buckwheat and, if an exceptionally heavy crop has been grown, the mois. ture may be depleted to some extent. However, with fall plowing, the nor mal rainfall and snows of the winter season sufficient recovery should be made to supply melisture to corn or any other crop following the buck wheat, Whitewashing Prevents Many Winter Troubles It once was thought a waste of time to whitewash the trunks of fruit trees, but now a report comes from Oregon that whitewashing will largely prevent sun scald and “southwest injury” which comes from the warm sunshine on the trunk in late winter, The following is a good formula for tree whitewash: Fifty pounds of hydrated lime; one pound salt; one pint molasses; three ounces ground alum, and ten gallons of hot water, Dissolve the salt and alum in the wa. ter, add the molasses and pour the mixture on the lime, Fertilizing Cover Crops Helps Soil Not Enough Vegetable Mat- ter Grown on Poor Land. Cover crops are grewn in winter to be used In improving the soll but not enough vegetable matter will be pro- duced on a poor soll unless some fer- tilizer is added to secure good growth of the crop. “Bome of our farmers, who hellieve in cover crops, make the serious mis- take of planting them on such poor land that a good growth 18 not se cured,” says E.
