REXFORD G. TUGWELL, undersec
retary of agriculture and once con-
sldered head man of the “brain trust,”
made a speech at Los Angeles the
other day that called
forth a sharp rebuke
from President Roose-
velt, Addressing a
Democratic gathering,
Tugwell asserted that
the administration
could satisfy every
humanitarian demand
and still balance the
budget in 1088,
Mr. Roosevelt, In a
press conference,
R. G. Tugwell scolded the newspa-
pers for printing what he called “crazy
stories” and went on to declare that
Tugwell’'s assertion was almost as un-
founded as the predictions thrown out
by many political observers that the
budget probably would never be bal-
anced again. Tugwell’s statement
wasn't quite as “wild” as the news-
paper stories, he remarked,

The President said he and his ad-
visers were about to make a study of
what shape It will take.

ers have voted for a
continuance of the
crop adjustment
through another year.
Incomplete returns
from the referendum
showed that the

a majority In every

from which votes were
received,

ter C. Davis, AAA ninistrator, as
he watched the returns in at
Washington. “If the final results bear
out present indications another volun-
tary contract will be offered for both
corn and hogs”
In a formal statement Davis em-
phasized earlier assurances that the
AAA would seek a 25 to 30 per cent
increase in hog production next year,
saying the “need for increasing the
present pork supply of the nation. . .
will be kept In mind in plans for the
next adjustment contract.”
Before the results of the voting were
known President Roosevelt announced
tentative plans for making the AAA
over from an emergency to a per-
manent agency. Observers In Washing-
ton concluded that Mr, Roosevelt in-
tends to make the AAA a major cam-
paign Issue next year and to rely for
re-election largely on the voters In
those western states that have re
ceived the largest cash payments in
the carrying out of the crop adjust
ment program-—taking it for granted
that he will carry the solid South.
ONTINUING the administration's
policy of “enabling farmers to
market their crop in a more orderly
fashion,” Secretary of Agriculture Wal.
lace announced a corn loan of 45 cents
a bushel on the 1985 crop, available
from December 1 until next July 1.
The Commodity Credit corporation had
already approved this and. asked a
commitment from the R. F. C to pro-
vide the necessary funds. :
Wallace estimated that about $150,

growers under this program. Borrow.

on corn which, if shelled, would grade
No. 83 or better. The grade require-

The loan rate then was 00 cents a

REMIER MUSSOLINI defles the
League of Nations and its sanctions.
In a speech at the Inauguration of the
new university In Rome he sald:
“In the face of an economic slege
toward which all elvilized people of
the world should feel supreme shame,
in the face of an experiment which
they wanted to test, for the first time,
against the Italian people, let it be
sald:
“We will oppose it with our most
implacable resistance, with our most
firm decision and with our most su-
preme contempt.”
However, it was announced In
Geneva that the duce was willing to
negotiate for peace with Ethiopia, and
there was a possibility the league
would delay for 15 days the application
of further penalties.
King Victor Emmanuel issued a de-
cree putting entire Italian mer-
chant marine on a war basis.

“However, In the course of war,

I do not believe that the American

“Accordingly, the American govern.

Secretary of State Hull issued an-
other statement calling upon American
citizens to desist from trading with
either Italy or Ethiopia. Such trade,
he declared, was conducted “at the
expense of human lives and human
misery.”

HUNTING WALRUS

The Alaskan method of hunting

stretched across a square
frame, which prevents the
