Phone ,324 - Plattsmouth King George for Peace with Empir6 and U. S. Pledges Dominions and United States to Dwell Forever in Peaceful Ways Like Canada. By WEBB MILLER WINNIPEG, Man., May 24 (UP Arbitrament of differences between th United States and the British smpire by force or threat is uncon ceivable, King George VI today told the world fervently in a dramatic broadcast on Empire Day. His words the most vital pro nouncement on international affairs the king has ever made were heard by scores of millions in his far-flung empire which covers one-fourth of he earth's surface. The king said: "Canada and the United States have had to dispose of searching differences of aim and interest during the past 100 years, but never has one of these differ ences been involved by force or by threat. No man, thank God, will aver again conceive of such arbitra ment between the peoples of my em pire and the people of the United States." Thus the king, a3 king of each of the separate dominions, pledged them so far as he was able, to peace with the United States. He cited the example of the United States and Canada, living as good neighbors for more than 100 years without recourse to war. Today's incursion into the field of Inter national politics broke another tradi tion in a series of smashings of precedent on the royal visit. It seemed ot some that the king and his advisers on the Canadian tour were entering a phase of a more "dynamic" conception of the duties .l a constitutional monarchy than ilas existed hitherto. AAA QUESTION BOX Q. Can payments under the farm program be earned on a farm that is idle in 1939? A. No idle farm can earn con servation or parity payments.

County committees are instruct ed to regard as idle any farm on which normal cropping operations are not carried out during the 1939 crop year. If acreaged in seeded and volunteer grain crops, summer fal low, grasses or legumes and tempor ary pasture amount to less than half the total soil-depleting acreage allot ment, the farm is regarded as idle. i Q. Can orn planted in excess of the 1939 corn allotment be disposed of? A. No! Planted corn is consider ed as harvested corn. Q. Can grain sorghums be con sidered as non-depleting? A'. No. Grain sorghums planted will be considered as soil-depleting regardless of what use is made at harvest time.
