Mussolini Says
Not Too Much
Wheat is Best
Says Consumer Must Be Regarded as
Well as Producer and Markets
Rome Conference
Rome, March 26. The world's
wheat crisis comes not so much from
overproduction but from under-con-
sumption. Premier Mussolini told the
inaugural meeting of the world grain
conference here today.
Thereafter, he said, it would be
rash indeed to call for limitation of
cultivation of cereals when In the
world there are all too many people
poverty-stricken and grievously dis
tressed. "With the 'approved standard of
life among the masses of town and
country population." he said, "bread
has to some extent given way to
choicer types of food."
Whether the tendency of wheat
production to outstrip the increase
of population should be considered
a permanent phenomenon, Mussolini
said, should be decided before anv
decision to curtail production was
reached. He characterized present
production curtailment moves as hav
ing "an alarmist note."
"This conference," he said, "mus
regard not only the interest of pro
duction and markets, but also the
interest of the consumer."
No Official Delegates from U. S.
Forty-five nations are represented
at the conference, which has as its
task the solution of the problem of
the international wheat surplus.
Among those from the United States
attending are John A. Simpson of
Oklahoma City, president of the Na
tional Farmers' union, and C. W.
Cross of Aberdeen, S. D., represent
ing the American Wheat Growers' as
sociation. They are not official dele
gates of the government.
Among the specific problems which
the conference will attempt to solve
are means for reducing world wheat
and exchange and the facilitation of
agricultural credit.
At a preliminary executive meet
ing yesterday a sharp difference of
opinion arose between representa
tives of Argentina. Canada, Austra
lia and the United States, on the
one side, and European nations on
the other, over the question of a pre
ferential tariff. Europe moved for
a tariff favoring European exporters
which would virtually shut out for
eign wheat, including American, from
Europe.
Mussolini Considers Humanity.
"Today's splendid meeting."' Pre
mier Mussolini said, "is a proof ef
the existence of good will, and the
opssibflity of' collaboration, among
the states in a field in which the in
superable force of social progress
should be kept far above the unre
strained workings of purely individ
ualist economic conception. Pay
from having any purely selfish out
look, and subject to the direction of
far-seeing and far-sighted govern
ment and of disinterested and well-co-ordinated
policies, we are solely
i concerned with the welfare and up
lifting of working humanity.
"Hitherto." he said, "public dis
Icussions. both national and interna
itional. of the economic situation have
I been overweighted by outworn for
i mulas. by ancient theories and by
senile academic arguments."
BRITISH BANKER IS SILENT
New York Silence concerning all
financial questions surrounded Mon
tagu Norman, governor of the Bank
of England, as he arrived for a visit
Interest in the nation's money marts
was heightened by a statement in
the London Daily Mail that Mr. Nor
man is seeking American co-operation
for the establishment of an In
ternational bank to finance trade
with new markets, principally soviet
Russia. But Mor Norman was un
communicative.
"You struck an off dav," he told i
reporters. "Hope you have better
: luck next time."
A denial that Mr. Norman had
I come to America to discuss the in
ternational bank was made by Dr.
O. M. W. Sprague of Harvard, who
recently became statistical adViser to
the Bank of England.
"His coming." Dr. Sprague said.
I "has no more significance than the
visit to New York of bankers from
I the south or west, who come here to
talk over general business matters
He has paid annual visits to the gov
ernor of the federal reserve bank of
New York since 1920."

Hoover Signs Bill Providing $100.
000 for Memorial at Har

items in the second deficiency bill
signed March 5 by President Hoover
was an appropriation of $100,000,
sponsored by Alben W. Barkley, ( D. ),
Senator from Kentucky, for a monu
ment to be erected in the Pioneer
Memorial State Park, the first per
manent settlement of the West.
Harrodsburg was the first and only
permanent British-American colonial
settlement west of the Alleghenies.
Capt. James Harrod and a band ol
151 men selected the eminence which
afterward became Ft. Harrod as a
camping place on June 16. 1774. The
location pleased them and they laid
out a town, over which the British
Union Jack was flown. After the
pioneers returned from Lord Dtin
more's war. they erected a stockad?
of logs, which included homes, a
schoolhouse and elevated block
houses which commanded every ap

CELEBRATED 80TH BIRTHDAY
A few days since Henry W. Vallery
who makes his home at Mynard cele
brated the passing of his eightieth
birthday anniversary. Uncle Henry
was born in Beaver township. Pike
county, Ohio, and when but a small
lad came with his parents to Nebras
ka, they settling where Mercei ville
now is. Here they resided for many
years and here it was that when the
Johnson brothers were put under the
ice of the Missouri river In 1867, he
remembers that his mother tied a
large bandana handkerchief over his
father's head and told the people who
came to get Mr. Vallery to go along
with the posse that he was sick, and
could not go. Mr. Vallery remembers
very well when three horse thieves
were caught near Eight Mile Grove
and hung by order of Judge Lynch.
Mr. Vallery was a freighter for three
years in Arizona, and also spent some
vears in Alaska, being there in 1898
and was well acquainted with Alex
Pantages, who has been quite prom
inent in the criminal circles of late.
Mr. Vallery tells of this man having
a resort in Dawson, Alaska, then
about twenty-three years old. and
conducting a resort and show house.
Mr. Vallery passed the eightieth
birthday very quietly at his home in
Mynard.
Miss Josephine Rys departed this
morning for Lincoln where she will
visit over Sunday at the home of her
sister, Mrs. Anna Scot and enjoying
a short outing.
