Nov. 22 Crop control legislation reached the senate today, but in a form disregarding President Roosevelt's mandate against increased farm expenditures without additional revenue. Weary from two days and nights of almost continuous deliberation, the senate agriculture committee completed the bill last midnight by sweeping aside all limits on cost. Committee members estimated the measure as drafted would raise the present $500,000,000 annual cost of farm benefits by $150,000,000 to $300,000,000. They made no effort to write in revenue provisions, since all tax legislation must originate in the house.

Democratic leaders welcomed the item on the president's special session a means of interrupting the anti-lynching filibuster.

The long-delayed crop control measure, still without a counterpart in the house, provides for a government-farmer partnership in a combination voluntary and compulsory acreage and 'marketing control program.

22 States Ambassadoivat-large Norman Davis and British Delegate Viscount Cranbourne worked today on the draft of a new statement on the Chinese-Japanese conflict which may bring the Brussels conference under discussion approval from who originally to a close. The document still must gain French delegates, planned to return to Brussels Saturday but put off their arrival until noon today. The statement prepared by British and American delegates was a historical record of the conference's efforts to obtain peace in the It was understood to include nothing that could be construed as effective aid to China. Conference delegates virtually WALLY'S PAL HER SUCCESSOR, TOO admitted none of the nation's represented at the meeting was in a position to take effective action to halt the Chinese-Japanese conflict. 'Dr.

He indicated one possible course for China would be to propose that the whole affair be referred back to the advisory committee of the league of nations. It was learned that the draft contained a provision lor reconvening the conference on the motion of two or more signatory powers. Judge Stone will rule on motions for dismissal of other defendants after completion of arguments. The government had already replied to the arguments on behalf of the Gulf and Texas companies, but has not had an opportunity yet to answer arguments on behalf 'of the other defendants.

Presentation of defense arguments neared the conclusion today with pleas on behalf of Standard Oil company of Indiana and Pure Oil company executives. 1 Killed, 1 Hurt In Plane Crash RACINE, Nov. 22 (Gabris, 22-year-old West Allis pilot, was killed, and John Shields 21 of Wauwatosa, student pilot, was critically injured yesterday when their plane crashed to earth on the Snoop park golf course, three miles north of here.

Hull Hopes Triangular Trade' Will Help U. S. and Commerce in General WASHINGTON, Nov. 22 administration's system of reciprocal trade treaties, to which Secretary Hul.l now proposes to add Great Britain, has two objectives: 1.

To improve the United States' position in world commerce. 2. To increase the exchange of goods between all nations. The program is based on the theory that equal treatment for all rather than preferential practices between nations is.the most effective means of removing discriminatory restrictions now channels of trade. clogging many The secretary's aides have labeled his concept "triangular" trade.

In effect, this means a stimulation, through mutual tariff and other concessions, of exports and imports in the aggregate rather than merely as Japanese awaited developments marriage, which they had advanced a week in an unsuccessful attempt between individual or groups ol na- with patience. to evade publicity. tions. "Triangular" trade is illustrated by the fact that the United States usually has a favorable balance in its trade with Europe, whereas it regularly records an unfavorable balance in its commerce with tropical countries. Under Hull's theory, one should equalize the other.

It is not important, he contends, that a nation should strive for a favorable balance in its dealings with another individual country. What it may lose in one quarter it probably will gain in another. What is important, he argues, -is the constant expansion of buying and selling around the three corners of such an imaginary triangle. This, in his view, can be achieved by the breaking down of discriminations now practiced by many nations in their efforts at economic nationalism. housing projects.

The RFC would match dollar-for-dollar funds put up by private capital. Another was an increase in the percentage of the cost of a small home which may be financed through a mortgage insured by the federal housing administration. Advocates of this program contend many prospective home-builders are deterred by lack of funds from making the 20 per cent down now required for FHA financing. They would increase to 90 per cent the amount which could be insured by the FHA. Along with this effort to stimulate industry, the president is expected to call in heads of leading utilities companies to discuss a sihle vast construction program in this field.

This construction would be undertaken, utility spokesmen have said, if there were assurances the administration would erect no "competing" plants, ease the public utilities holding company act and make other concessions.
