PAOF. FOUR Farmers WALLACE 10 Special Trains Carry Delegates From IS States, Attendance Of 6,000 Is Predicted By WALLACE MITCHELL (United Press Correspondent ST. PAUL, April 26. Farmers from 18 states gathered tonight for a meeting their leaders said would mark "the greatest protest tver mads In the northwest against policies and high Interest rates cf the farm credit administration." Highlight of the meeting, to be held tomorrow under sponsorship of the Farmers' union, will be an address by Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace.

He reportedly will stress administration attempts to liberalize farm credit policies and reorganize the federal land bank i ystem. The speech is considered politically significant as an administration move to carry Its fight to liberalize farm credit policies Into the the breadbasket section, normally a Republican stronghold. DELEGATES ARRIVE Special trains brought delegates from the Dakotas, Michigan and Montana and officials of the union predicted 6.000 would attend. M. W.

Thatcher, president of the National Federation of Grain Cooperatives and national legislative chairman of the Farmers' union, said the meeting would be "the greatest protest" In the history of the northwest. He said his organizations represent 350.000 farm families in 21 states, located In nine of the 12 land bank districts. "Farmers don't take a day off, and travel many milea, on a whim," ha aatd. "They are fed up with the present policies of the land bank and the non-cooperative, loose farm credit system that now is forced upon them. Their presence will represent a vote of confidence In Secretary Wallace's fight to retain the farm credit administration In the department of agriculture, to liberalize farm credit policies, to re duce land bank interest rates and to reorganize the entire land bank system.

"The Interest that has been generated in Secretary Wallace's appearance out here has come from the farmers' desire to protest the present system not from high pressure promotion." He said "all of us" are Interested In reorganizing the present F.C.A. on a farmer-owned, farmer-controlled basis, as provided in the Wheeler-Jones farm debt adjustment bill now in congress. ADMITTED LOSSES "Under the present set-up," he said, "the farmers own less than one-sixth of the capital stock of the four units comprising F.C.A. compared to the government's $877,269,877. There are admitted losses that should be marked off at this time which approximate $300,000,000 more than twice the capital stock owned by the farmer-borrowers In the four units.

According to all business practices, the system is Insolvent." He said that, furthermore, readjustment of land bank interest rates must be made. "The farm mortgage debts should be reduced to the ability of the land to support its burden of debt," he said. "The Wheeler-Jones bill would reduce interest rates on farm mort-gates to 34 per cent, which still would permit the government to make a profit on its money. "The government can get the money at lty to 2 per cent, which is considerably under the 5 per cent now charged because the money goes through the hands of a middleman the federal land bank." He said his organizations were opposed to the Gillette farm credit bill which would make the F.C.A. responsible directly to the president and would place the administration of the F.C.A.

in the hands of a five-member board. Wallace will arrive tomorrow from Washington accompanied by A. G. Black, F.C.A. head.

Black was not scheduled to speak. 4 'Marrying Milkman9 Is Pronounced Sane (By United Press) SAN JOSE, April 26.

Events are shaping themselves here to make the paramount issue of the coming presidential and congressional campaign the question of abuse of public power. The Republicans have been slow to develop the lines of attack, but the administration leadership is virtually playing into the hands of its opponents.

Thus two major pieces of legislation the Walter -Logan bill and the amendments to the Wagner labor law turn wholly on the question of a fair deal for the citizens. But intimations are being given publicly that the administration is trying to prevent action in the senate by persuading its supporters to squelch the measures in committee, or, failing this, the pres ident is expected to veto the bills. Senator Barkley, majority leader, says he wants the bill vetoed if passed by the senate. The tactics being followed by the administration supporters are transparently obstructive. Thus, if the Logan-Walter bill as passed by the house is not satisfactory, the normal course would be to rewrite it in the senate and send the bill to conference.

But the administration, while conceding that the objectives of the measure are sound, prefer to kill the bill altogether. CAMPAIGN GOES ON The campaign against the measure has been going on for several months. The first contention has been that time was needed for further study and particularly to wait for the report of a special committee appointed, by the administration Itself a year ago. But, as Senator Hatch of New Mexico, Democrat, who has taken up the cudgels in the senate for the bill points out, the administration has had more than a year in which to "study" the bill and to suggest changes. Another barrage against the Walter-Logan bill released lately is the favorite old argument that "nobody understands It" Laymen who read It are said to have difficulty in knowing what it means.

But legislation designed to perfect court procedure, or in this instance, the rules of conduct of governmental commissions are not written In words of one eyllable because law making traditionally must use tech nical terms in describing procedural problems. Likewise if failure of laymen to understand a piece of proposed legislation ever had been the criterion, the new deal would never have been able to get the publio utility holding company act, the securities and Need Your Hear 4.

The most amusing argument being made against the Walter-Logan bill is that it "makes work for lawyers." Coming as this does from administration supporters it has furnished the only bit of comic relief in the whole legislative session. For If there is one administration which has swelled the pockets of the lawyers, accountants and technical experts and thus increased the expenses of doing business In America it is the new deal and its legislation. PROSPECTUS NEEDED Take the case of Jhe securities and exchange commission which requires a registration prospectus for every loan above $100,000. The general opinion among underwriters is that anybody who can get by with cost of less ihan $10,000 for lawyers fee and other expenses is an exception to the rule. Ten per cent a big penalty or tribute to pay for a small business in need of capital and that's te reason why more jobs aren't being created for the unemployed.

It is curious, too, that the new dealers should be worrying about lawyers making fees when it is noticeable that many of those who have been occupying posts in the administration are regularly moving into the various private com panies indirect! controlled by governmental commissions and collecting big fees for so doing. A congressional investigation of what has been happening lately to the personnel of the new deal and their relationship to trusteeships and other lucrative positions outside the government, but related to practice before governmental commissions and bureaus would be very illuminating. The Walter-Logan bill Is really feared by the radicals here. It is the first sign of a fair deal that has been written Into a proposed piece of legislation in a long while. Naturally It will cramp the style of the bureaucrats and will provide a check against arbitrary power.

SIMPLE ISSUE The publio can understand the difference between a raw deal and a fair deal.

It's a simple issue to explain. The language of the Walt er-Logan bill itself will not be de bated on the stump, but only the record of abuse and prejudice which has cast a disheartening blot on the record of those who call themselves "liberals." Now there is regrettably to be added some of the old tactics of the reactionaries in killing legislation In the senate committees rather than facing it openly and amending it In the public interest The Republican party can draw on this simple issue many indepen dent voters to its banner this year (Continued on Page Five) DANCE TONIGHT CLARA's'pAVILION Beautiful Country Spo FREE DANCING 4 Miles East of Redlands on Highway 99 Spot Dance Tonight Regards, Clara, DANCE Every Saturday Night at CHRISTIANSON'S CAJON MT.

"Turn back as Ions as it is still possible," Hitler was urged last December bv Fritz Thyssen, German steel and coal king who financed the Nazi party and made possible Hitler's ise to power. "Your policy will terminate in a Finish Germania." he said.

Thyssen's communication to the man he joined forces with willingly when the Nazi party was young, is one of a number of hitherto unpub- ished letters from Thyssen to Hit- er which appear in the current issue of Life magazine. PATRIOTISM BARED The letters bare a burning Ger man patriotism and a bitterness against the course of the Nazi re gime. In making public the letters Thys sen fulfilled a threat he made last December to Hitler he would "call upon the conscience of the world" by disclosing the full story of his flight from Germany, events which led up to the confiscation of his vast properties, and de-nationalization of himself and his wife by Nazi decree and the warrant for his arrest which has made him today a fugi tive in France. The letters tell of Thyssen's in creasingly helpless protests against the course of dictatorship. "Think of the oath you swore at Potsdam to uphold the German constitution," Thyssen wrote Hitler.

'Give back to the reich a free par liament, give back to the German nation freedom of conscience, free dom eof thought and freedom of speech. "Create anew the foundations which are necessary to restore law and justice, which will make it pos sible to trust a German treaty again. Stop the useless bloodshed and Germany will obtain peace with honor and will preserve her unity CALLS ON WORLD "Should the German nation be prevented from hearing my words which are the words of a free and upright German, then I shall call upon the conscience of the world and shall let the world pass Judgment. I am waiting. Heil Germany." A Thyssen letter of Dec.

11 from Dusseldorf reads in part: "I state herewith that no court of adminis tration procedure whatsoever has been instituted against me My conscience is clear. feel free of guilt. My sole er- 'ror was that I believed In you, Adolf Hitler, the fuehrer, and In the movement you led. I believed In you with all the ardor of one pas sionately German." The letter urged Hitler not to forget "that your rise was not the result of a great revolutionary action, but was due to the country's liberal constitution to which you are bound by oath." Thyssen wrote the German leader he had protested "against the persecution of Christianity, against the fFxA DRINK K00LER 1' Keg Beer ri rSMr ant Meet iTJ MYRTLE a brutalization of its priests, against the desecration of its churches," and that "when on Nov. 9, 193S, the Jews were robbed and tortured in the most cowardly and brutal manner and their synagogues destroyed all over Germany, I protested once more." BROUGHT PROTESTS The German agreement with Soviet Russia brought renewed protests from Thyssen who wrote Hitler at the time that "your present policy amounts to suicide.

Its beneficiary will be your arch-enemy of yesterday (Stalin) who is your 'friend of today." Thyssen said earlier this month "war will make Germany dependent on Russia in the matter of raw materials and thereby she will lose her position as a world power." "Your new policy, Mr. Hitler," Thyssen wrote, "is driving Germany into an abyss and the German na tion into perdition." Thyssen asserted Germany's dec laration of war was voted at a reichstag meeting at which "ap proximately 100 members were absent their seats taken by party officials" and that Thyssrn demand ed of Field Marshal Herman Wil-helm Goering that German public be informed that "rs a member of the reichstag I have voted against the war." ALWAYS GERMAN Thyssen declared "I am and al ways shall be uerman witn an my heart, with all my thoughts anil endeavors, I profess proudly and loudly my German nationality and shall continue to do so with my last breath." "Listen to me," Thyssen wrote Hitler last December, "and you will hear the voice of a tormented Ger man nation that is crying out to you: "Turn back, let rrreaom, rignt and humaneness rise again in the German reich."

A woman's black suede bag found on the Golden Gate bridge today had police wondering whether they were investigating a suicide, a joke or a publicity stunt. The bag contained newspaper and magazine clippings about James H. R. Cromwell, U. S.

minis ter to Canada, and his wife, the for mer Doris Duke. Also in the bag was a photograph of an attractive blonde girl. On the back of the picture was this note: "Dearest: I know this is cheap, but how else could I let them know in New York and London? How they will arch their brows when they see this.
