London Still Has Hope for Debt Inquiry Britain Will Continue Efforts to Reach Basis for Meet— Washington Hold* Off. By AimltM Pmi. Ixmdon, Nov. 10.—Although the press reports from Washington re garding the prospect of a reparation inquiry conducted within a limited scope of the French proposal are by no means sanguine, British official circles In London do not consider the time has yet arrived to abandon hopes of an allied conference includ ing America. In competent quarters It is asserted that Great Britain will continue to apply herself to the problem of reach ing a basis on which a conference satisfactory to the United States can be held until every possible avenue Is explored. Washington, Nov. 10.—Restrictions Insisted upon by France on the pro posed Inquiry by experts into Ger many’s economic condition would ren der such an effort to solve the repara tions problem useless and futile, in the opinion of the Washington gov ernment. • This decision was reached yester day after ths situation had been dis cussed during the day by President Coolldge and his cabinet and ambas sador Jusserand at a conference with Secretary Hughes has explained in detail the nature of the French limi tations. The result was that word was sent to Premier Poincare, through the ambassador, that his determination to restrict the scope of the inquiry, administration officials here bellsved would frustrate the object of the United States In offering the allies aid in bringing about an adjustment. What the future might bring forth, officials hgfe declined to pre dict. No formal invitation to participate Jn a reparations Inquiry it was point ed out is before the Washington gov ernment and consequently a declin ation Is not in order. While under the circumstances no invitation from the allies Is now expected it was plainly indicated that such an invi tation, if France continued to insist upon restrictions would he declined. Bj Associated Press. Paris, Nov. 10.—The presentation of Great Britain's bill for her war ad vances to the French government Is foreseen by political observers as one of the probable early results of the apparent collapse of the plan for an expert committee to examine Ger many's rapacity to pay reparations. It Is understood Premier Poincare ex pects It to be one of the develop ment*. The reparation commission which will meet next Tuesday, will have to decide the question whether the Ger mans shall be heard, according to their request, as to the capacity of Germany to pay. It Is understood there will be no opposition by the French. Family Reunion for Stage Stars Omaha Relatives Plan Parties for Headliners on Next Bill at Orpheum. Hale Hamilton and his wife.

Hanson of Fremont Re views Situation—Eat Wheat Campaign Launched. "Don't worry about Nebraska; the fanners are abundantly able to take care of themselves," was the advice of J. H. Hansen, a pioneer farm loan man of Fremont, before the agri cultural committee of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce Friday. "Half of Nebraska doesn't raise wheat," he continued, "and the half that does, with the exception of a few counties, raises It ss a part cf diversified farming, not as the main crop." AH over the state, he said, fanners are swinging to diversification. Sum mer fallowing, by which a part of each farm Is allowed to rest un planted each year, Is also found to increase profits. The comparatively few landowners who plant 2,000 scree of wheat, and having plunged, go to California for the winter, are of a passing race, he declared. Horn* Market for Wheat. Grosvenor Dawe, secretary of the national wheat council, followed Mr. Hansen. He told of organizing an "eat more toast committee” In Oma ha, designed to increase the demand for wheat products and thus improve the prices paid grain farmers. Dairy companies will place the suggestion of toast on the caps of their milk bottles, and gas bills and electricity bills also should carry the Injunction, he said. * "If every person In America would cat two additional ounces of bread at each meal for a year, It would con sume 100,000,000 additional bushels of wheat," he estimated. "It is raised to he eaten—let's sat It," he said. He explained that it was utterly uncalled for to attempt to raise wheat In some localities, where the cost of production ranges as high as $9 a bushel. His suggestions were to turn to some other more paying crop In these Instances, to readjust the acreage elsewrhere, to depend less on exporting wheat, and to develop the home market. "We must abandon the Idea that the salvation of the American farmer lies in the foreign market,” he con cluded. "The remedy for low prices lies right here at home.” At a meeting In the city hall Frl day, P. F. Petersen waa elected chairman of the eat more wheat movement, and James A. Austin, sec retary.
